"Raise a cat?" Ding Sha asked subconsciously, "Where are the cats?"
"There are some in our new home," Xiao Jun smiled. "The landlady said that the current resident in the yard is a single mother. She has a bulging belly and basks in the sun in the yard every day. When we move in, there will probably be kittens born."
"If we want to keep her, we should bring her back now, otherwise she will be scared when we start decorating."
Ding Sha said almost without hesitation, "Raise it!"
A few days later, Xiao Jun took the shivering mother cat back home. It was a tabby cat with delicate features, a thin body and a big belly.
Be alert and careful when looking at people.
Ding Sha touched her with some concern, "Are you scared?"
Xiao Jun was still taking things out of the car. He bought cat litter, litter boxes, cat bowls, cat food, cat snacks, cat beds and all sorts of other things.
Pulling down the mask and taking a breath, "I took her to the veterinary hospital. It's not easy to vaccinate a kitten while pregnant. I'm afraid she will have a stress reaction. I'll take her to the veterinary hospital after a few days' rest."
Ding Sha nodded, and when Xiao Jun came back from washing his hands, he put Xiao Ping'an in his arms, and squatted down to look at Xiao Lihua who had been hiding in the corner.
Considering that she had just arrived, Ding Sha mixed some cat food with goat milk powder and put it in a cat bowl and brought it to her, "Are you hungry? Eat something?"
The little tabby cat stared at her vigilantly, not moving.
Ding Sha put down the cat bowl and took Xiao Jun away, "Don't stare at her all the time, she will be scared."
"We just do our normal things and wait for her to calm down."
Xiao Jun followed her, not quite understanding what she meant.
Ding Sha put away all the messy cat things that Xiao Jun bought, and then went into the kitchen.
Xiao Jun followed him in, "Are you hungry? Let me do it?"
"I'm not hungry," Ding Sha shook his head, "I'll make something for Little Lihua to eat."
"Aren't there cat food?" Xiao Jun was puzzled.
"Of course a cat should eat something richer, and she's a mother," Ding Sha said as a matter of course, "so she should eat better."
"Oh..." Xiao Jun nodded.
Ding Sha opened the refrigerator and asked, "Where did you put the chicken breasts you bought earlier?"
"It's on the bottom layer," Xiao Jun pointed to her, "and there's Basa fish in there."
"Just right!" Ding Sha took them out to thaw.
"Are there any shrimps at home? What about beef?" Ding Sha asked uncertainly. She was not the one who cooked these days, so she was not very sure.
"They are all there, on the second to last floor, you can look for them," Xiao Jun thought for a moment.
Xiao Ping'an tilted his head back and looked over to see Ding Sha squatting looking for something. Xiao Jun helped him straighten up but he was still unwilling and was about to cry.
"Okay, okay, it's not enough to be scared of you," Xiao Jun simply squatted down and turned Xiao Ping'an over for him to see.
Xiao Ping'an stared at Ding Sha's hand with his big eyes full of curiosity, and wanted to reach out to pull it.
Ding Sha dodged for a moment and glared at Xiao Jun, "You just spoil him. He is getting better and better at fake crying. He pouts when he doesn't get what he wants. He is becoming more and more lawless."
Xiao Jun said calmly, "He's small now, we'll be able to fight him when he's older."
Ding Sha stuffed her cold hands that had touched the frozen food directly into his clothes, "What are you talking about?!"
"Wrong, wrong!" Xiao Jun grimaced, "I was just kidding, just kidding! How could I hit our precious son!"
Ding Sha glanced at him.
"He's still young now. I can teach him when he grows up and can speak..." Xiao Jun muttered.
"Just spoil him!" Ding Sha rolled his eyes.
Xiao Jun smiled and turned to see Xiao Ping'an sucking his fingers and looking at him without blinking. He pouted and kissed Ping'an's chuckled little face, "Baby!"
Little Ping'an let out a giggle.
Ding Sha was so moved by the scene of loving father and filial son that she couldn't help but smile. She stood up with the ingredients she was going to use.
"Get out, get out, you're getting in the way here."
Xiao Jun carried Xiao Ping'an in his arms and walked out in circles, making strange noises like an airplane.
Ding Sha smiled and shook his head.
They are really two little kids.
Cut the chicken breast and beef into small pieces and roughly process them in a food processor to make them much finer.
Grind the shrimp and fish into a paste, pour all the meat together, add an egg yolk and mix well.
Without adding anything else, Ding Sha scooped a small piece of it with his hands, put it into a glass bowl, steamed it, stirred it, and let it cool.
Wrap the rest in plastic wrap and freeze in the freezer.
After the steamed meat paste has cooled down, you can give more to the little tabby cat.
Ding Sha brought the meat paste to find Xiao Lihua, but she was still hiding in the corner and didn't dare to come out.
However, it took a little bit of the cat food in front of it. I don’t know if it was afraid to eat it or didn’t like it. It just moved a few times and then stopped eating.
Ding Sha placed the meat paste in front of her, then put the cat food bowl in a larger corner and put a cat bed on it.
The little tabby girl watched her do all this quietly, and after a while, she opened her mouth and meowed softly.
Ding Sha looked back at her, somewhat surprised.
The little tabby cat meowed softly again.
Ding Sha couldn't help but say, "Eat it quickly, it smells delicious!"
The little tabby slowly lowered its head and licked the meat paste. Maybe it thought it tasted good, so it licked its lips and glanced at Dingsha before it buried its head and started eating.
Ding Sha squatted there and waited for Little Lihua to finish eating before going over to collect the bowl. There was a bowl for Little Lihua to drink water in the corner. Ding Sha watched her lazily lick her fur after she was full and couldn't help wanting to touch her.
Before he could reach out his hand, he saw the little tabby cat look up at him like lightning, with its big eyes full of vigilance.
Ding Sha knew that she was not yet at ease to live here, so he had to withdraw his hand, talk to her for a few more words before leaving to do his own thing.
Little Lihua still didn't move, just squatted there and watched Ding Sha walk away.
There was calm and laziness in those big yellow-green eyes.
The little tabby cat now has meat to eat every two days. With a poop-scooper, his life is obviously more comfortable than when he was wandering and had no meals at all.
She always lay lazily on her belly to bask in the sun, and occasionally she would get close to Ding Sha and rub against her calves.
But once Ding Sha wanted to squat down and touch or hug her, she would run away quickly as if she didn't know him.
Very ruthless.
Ding Sha sighed and continued to work hard to feed the little tabby cat.
After a few days, she looked plump, her pointed little face became round, and her fur was shiny and smooth. It was obvious that she was a well-raised kitten.
Ding Sha thought it would take a long time to become close to Little Lihua, but suddenly one day, Little Lihua became much more anxious.
He walked around Ding Sha, his barking voice was no longer soft and coquettish, and he even bit Ding Sha's trouser legs.
Ding Sha was a little confused, "What's wrong with you, Egg Yolk?"
Because Xiao Lihua especially likes to eat egg yolks, she is willing to "condescend" to let Ding Sha touch her every time for the sake of egg yolks, so Ding Sha simply calls her Egg Yolk.
The little tabby cat meowed anxiously and looked at Ding Sha with moist eyes, full of pleading.
Ding Sha then realized that Little Lihua was about to give birth to kittens.
She quickly took out the delivery room and necessary supplies that she had prepared earlier. Egg Yolk felt a little relieved after he walked in, but he still meowed.
Ding Sha was also anxious and stayed in the delivery room where Egg Yolk was, refusing to leave.
After a night of hard work, Egg Yolk finally gave birth to two kittens.
One is a little tabby cat like its mother, and the other looks like a little orange cat.
Ding Sha breathed a sigh of relief. It is said that the smaller the pregnancy rate of a cat, the harder it is to give birth. Now the baby is finally born.
I just can't help wondering what kind of person that "irresponsible" cat father is...
Judging from the color of the kitten’s fur, it’s probably a big orange cat that’s as heavy as a mountain…
