My cat can cultivate immortality

Chapter 4: Orange Cat
Xiao Wan hurriedly followed Wu Ren downstairs, but saw him go straight to the glass door, and then squatted down.

"Hello, cat."

Although I don't know the principle of the fourth level of cat language, according to Wu Ren's guess, it should be an automatic translation program.It feels like black technology.

"Brother Wu! What if you scared the cat away?" Xiao Wan carefully hid behind him, showing half of his head and looking at the cat at the door.

"Don't worry, I'm very good, I can speak cat language!"

Wu Ren smiled proudly at Xiao Wan, and opened the glass door.

A gust of cold wind rushed towards the face, making the two people in the room shiver in thin clothes.Thanks to this, the cat finally stopped being aloof. It turned around and looked up at Wu Ren.

This is an orange cat about one or two years old, with white and orange fur, and looks not in good spirits.

The body looks healthy.It may be that I have been hungry for a few days, and my spirit is a little depressed.But the eyes are clear, the eyes are bright, and the cat's fur is quite shiny. It should be a very healthy orange cat.

It has a little stain on it, and it looks like it must have been wandering for a while.

"Come in and sit down?" Wu Ren said seeing the cat staring at him.

"You are my master meow?"

"..."

Did he hear a strange sentence just now?Wu Ren blinked his eyes and shook his head vigorously.He always felt that the voice he just heard was a hallucination.

So he tried to ask again.

"Come in and sit?"

"..."

"Did I really hear wrong?"

"I said, you are my master meow?" The orange cat showed a look of disgust, "I can't even understand the cat's words, how did you grow so big, meow?"

Hey, I heard right just now!Also, why is the painting style of this orange cat so weird?
"I understand! You, you... come in first!"

With the glass door open, the cold wind outside ravaged Wu Ren's sense of touch like a robber.

"Pfft. Brother Wu, you really think cats can understand what you're talking about!" Xiao Wan laughed happily behind him.

However, the cat seemed to be very obedient. After looking into the shop with its head, it raised its legs and walked into the house.

This surprised Xiao Wan extremely.Her eyes widened, she looked at Wu Ren, and then at the orange cat on the ground.

Wu Ren didn't care about this, he quickly closed the glass door, and turned up the air conditioner and heater on the first floor.

The orange cat walked to a dining table spiritually, and quickly climbed onto the table.After scanning the environment in the store for a while, he locked his eyes on Wu Ren.

Wu Ren walked to the table and sat down, then said solemnly: "You just said it right, that is, I want to adopt you."

"Yes, but there are three conditions. Meow."

"What conditions?"

"First, give me something to eat first. Meow."

……

Ten minutes later, Xiaowan and Wu Ren sat at the table, watching the cat on the table eating the freshly made egg fried rice.The orange cat grumbled and spat out a peppercorn.

"What on earth do you think, put pepper in fried rice meow? The fried rice method is also very bad, the eggs are too old, the rice water is also less, it is too hard to chew meow! One point out of ten, no more, meow."

Hey the orange cat?Reviews are quite professional.Sure enough, the cats sent by the system are different, they don’t eat anything, and the complaints are quite sharp.

Wu Ren said with some amusement, "I'm really sorry, I've run out of pepper powder, so I'm too lazy to buy it."

"The condiments are not ready, how do you deserve to be a qualified cook? Meow." The orange cat stared at him with wide eyes in surprise, "Fortunately, I still think this is a restaurant, so I waited at the door."

"I'm not a cook." Wu Ren quickly retorted, "This shop belongs to my father, and he passed away after a car accident a few years ago..."

"Brother Wu, what are you talking to yourself by yourself?" Xiaowan stretched out his hand to touch the orange cat, and then asked him with concern, "Did you think of uncle and aunt again..."

"No. The cat dislikes my poor cooking and says I'm unqualified as a cook." Wu Ren curled his lips.

"Pfft." Xiao Wan tugged at his sleeve and laughed, "Xiao Wu, you are so funny, I almost believed it."

The orange cat on the table was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "I'm sorry, meow, I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"It's okay." Wu Ren said calmly.

Parents have passed away for so many years, and now the impact on me is not as great as before.

"Come to think of it, our cats often leave suddenly because of car accidents." The orange cat's ears drooped, "Our lives are more fragile than human beings. Sometimes if we are a little careless, we may never see the sun tomorrow again. Meow."

"Okay, don't talk about such a heavy topic." Seeing that he was a little depressed, Wu Ren said, "What's your second condition?"

"Take me in the shower, meow."

This time the orange cat answered simply.But it's okay not to say it, but Wu Ren was surprised when he said it.He quickly pulled the arm of the little girl next to him.

"Small bowl, small bowl!"

"What's the matter, Brother Wu?"

Xiaowan seems to have won the trust of the orange cat at this moment, and is reaching out to stroke its back.

"The cat said it wanted a bath..."

"what?"

Both were unbelievable.

In fact, the vast majority of cats will fear and resist the owner's behavior of bathing it.More than once, he had seen the cat's miserable and unlovely appearance when it was taking a bath.

"I've been running outside for three days, meow. Many places on my body are very dirty, and it will be very uncomfortable if I don't wash it, meow." The orange cat seemed to see Wu Ren's doubts, and said, "It's not that our cats don't love bath."

After explaining for a long time, Wu Ren finally understood.

It turns out that the reason why cats react so violently when taking a bath is related to their natural habits.In fact, long before cats became pets, they were keen, fast hunters.

When taking a bath, the body becomes heavier after being soaked in water, and the feeling of being controlled by the owner will greatly restrict their freedom of movement.This creates an instinctive sense of fear in them.

So after understanding this, Wu Ren felt much more relaxed when he bathed the orange cat again.

He brought enough hot water for the orange cat, and let it do it by itself first—clean the place that can be cleaned, and then wash it off bit by bit according to the orange cat's requirements.

As for drying, Wu Ren didn't think about hair dryers at all—he first roughly wiped the fur on the orange cat's body with an absorbent towel, and then took out the artifact that had been dusty for many years from the cabinet.

An electric fan.

This kind of heater, which can gather heat and light through the principle of infrared radiation, is undoubtedly the best equipment to help orange cats "dry".

In front of the electric fan, the bathed orange cat was lying on a soft cushion, and Xiaowan was sitting next to it with a smile on it, rubbing the orange cat back and forth, euphemistically called "speeding up the evaporation of water".

In fact, after taking a bath, Wu Ren discovered that the appearance of this orange cat is really quite good.And after taking a general look at its teeth, ears and skin, they are all very healthy.Thinking about it, before wandering around, its life should be quite nourishing.

At noon, Wu Ren made some chicken noodles.The small bowl that likes to eat meat, after seeing that the orange cat likes to eat chicken, unexpectedly kept all the meat in the bowl and fed it to the orange cat bit by bit.

This girl has the potential to be a cat slave.

After the meal, Xiao Wan was driven home by Wu Ren to take a nap, and after a brief tidying up, he sat down in front of the orange cat again.

"Eating and bathing are all done." Wu Ren looked at the clean orange cat in front of him, and said with a smile, "You have to play with me, and you can enjoy these at any time in the future. No matter how poor I am, I can have a bite for you."

It's the same as life and death brothers who share weal and woe.

"So what's your third condition?"

After asking this sentence, the orange cat shook its head very rarely. It thought for a while before slowly saying:

"The third condition... I won't force meow. This is actually a wish of mine, or a request, meow."

"Go ahead." Wu Ren sat up straight.

"I think you also know that the life of our cats is very short, meow. From birth to death, there are only a dozen short springs and autumns. It may not be a long time for you, but in our opinion, That's life, or rather, all of it."

"The cat's mind is very simple meow, whether it is me or other cats, it is the same. Once we have identified the owner in our hearts, we will spend our whole life remembering him and accompanying him meowing. Therefore, we hope Yes, it’s the master’s never leaving meow.”

"I understand." Wu Ren nodded.

"So, I hope you can guarantee that whether it is me or the other cats you continue to adopt in the future, you will never leave us. For our cats, it is important to be able to spend their entire lives in a stable home. It is the greatest happiness meow."

"Never leave..."

Wu Ren thought of his parents, but immediately dismissed the idea.

The past has passed, if you live in sad memories all day long, you can only stand still in the passing time.

Wu Ren's decision to adopt this orange cat is not only a farewell to the past, but also a new responsibility - he must be a qualified owner and strive to let himself live with it more and more. good.

Thinking of this, Wu Ren nodded solemnly: "Okay, I assure you!"

At this moment, he saw a smile.

The orange cat in front of him stretched his face, narrowed his eyes, and made a standard smile at him!

His heart beat violently, and he suddenly realized that he might never forget this smile full of warmth and trust in his life.

From the smile of a cat we met by chance.
