Those days when I was reborn as a cat

The orange-red sunset glow burned.

At the end of the earth, the mountains in the distance, the fields below the mountains, and the scarecrows in the fields are all shrouded in the misty twilight, majestic and calm.

The hut is lit with lights, the table is steaming with steam, the farm owner and his family are having dinner, and the evening news is playing on the TV to remind people that winter is coming and they should take precautions against the cold.

The male host took a sip of the hot soup and exhaled white breath: "This winter looks like it will be extremely cold. I will go to the market tomorrow to buy some coal and store it. Let's grill the coals when it gets colder."

The three-year-old daughter didn't know what the unusual cold meant, so she clapped her hands and cheered: "Okay! It's going to snow heavily! This year I'm going to build a huge snowman!"

The boy gave her a piece of steamed pork ribs and said softly: "Baby, eat first, it will get cold later."

"Thank you, brother!" the girl said loudly, forgetting about building the snowman, and munched on the ribs in the bowl until her mouth was full of oil.

The hostess bent down and looked under the table, wondering: "Where has Fat Baby gone? He is usually the most active in eating, but why hasn't he shown up yet?"

Pang Bao is their family’s orange cat. He is three years old this year. He eats a lot and grows strong. Most of the time, he lies lazily at the door and bask in the sun. But when it’s meal time, he will rush towards him like a small car.

The male host didn't take it seriously and stared at the TV: "I guess he played outside. Leave the rice in the bowl for him. He will eat it when he comes back."

Their orange cat recognizes their home, and even if it is let out to play wildly, it will definitely come back to sleep at night.

The hostess laughed and scolded: "I run out every day, but I never miss a meal."

Although she said this, she still added a piece of meat to the cat's food bowl. The fat orange cat must be hungrier than usual when he comes back from playing.

At the far end of the field, there is a row of abandoned warehouses with dilapidated brick and concrete structures. Cats come from all directions. They jump lightly onto the windowsill and enter the warehouse one by one through the broken windows.

The four corners of the roof were covered with spider webs, and thick dust accumulated on the surfaces of sofas, wooden cabinets, tables, chairs and other debris piled in the warehouse. This is a small warehouse abandoned by humans, and now it has become a secret base for cats.

In the room dimmed by the sunset, on the top of the highest cabinet, a chubby orange cat was lying there condescendingly, with sharp eyes, lazily licking its paws, and looking at the cats filing in.

If the farm owner and his family were present, they would definitely recognize this as their fat orange cat who is lazy and eats well.

Around the fat orange cat, four or five strong cats were lying or standing, scanning the room with wary eyes, standing in front of the orange cat in a protective posture.

The same situation happened to the other three groups of cats, each occupying a piece of land. Guarded by the cats in the middle were a black cat, a cow cat and a long-haired tabby cat.

"In the past, the lord would not go down the mountain after it snowed. Today is probably the last time we will see him. We will not see him again until next spring." Lifting his paw and licking it slowly, the long-haired tabby cat broke the silence.

The long-haired civet cat not only speaks delicately, but also has long, smooth and thick fur. It looks warm and fluffy, making people want to reach out and hug it involuntarily.

There was a stupid green cat present who also looked straight at it. It was the backbone that had just been promoted. It followed the leader out to see the world. It was fascinated by the sight. It received a fierce cat punch on the brain, and turned its head and breathed with bared teeth. , and saw the senior cat showing its sharp claws in a sinister manner.

"Don't worry! Don't look at Tao Da's beauty. He can beat ten cats like you with one punch!" Senior Cat warned in a low voice.

Leng Tou Qing took a deep breath and quickly looked away, not daring to look at the long-haired raccoon cat.

Tao Da, the long-haired civet cat, doesn't care about Xiaoxiao. It walks on campus and is surrounded by the admiring looks of humans and cats every day. It has long been accustomed to it.

Ahu, the cow cat, was busy shaving his beard and pooh-poohing in disgust. The air in the warehouse was full of dust! It heard the words and said: "This year's situation is special. There is a possibility that the lord will not return to the mountains."

There are no cute little civet flowers in the mountains.

The little civet was so pampered that it couldn't stand the cold and would definitely spend the winter in a human house. Senwu wouldn't let his beloved cat go to the mountains to get cold.

The black cat looked at it seriously and said, "Cat?"

Ahu suddenly saw a pile of cotton pads that he didn't like. He jumped on it and kicked it, gasping and saying: "Axuan, why do you keep talking word by word? It's hard for me to understand what you want to ask."

The fat orange cat sat up lazily, raised its hind legs and kicked its thick neck: "It is probably asking, is the lord staying here for that little tabby cat?"

They had all heard about the lord's scandal. They had sent subordinate cats to give gifts before, but except for the cow cat Ahu, the remaining three alpha cats had never seen Lu Yuzhen.

"I guess so." Ahu had already made the cotton wool fly all over the sky and was bouncing energetically. "The last time we met, the lord carried it on his back. You know, we cats never let cats carry it on their back easily, except when they are in heat. The she-cat of time.”

Ah Xuan Cat's eyes flashed coldly: "No."

The long-haired civet cat Tao smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Ah Xuan, Ah Hu didn't mean to say that the lord is a female cat."

Ahu paused when he heard this, fell down from mid-air, opened his eyes wide and shouted: "How can the lord be a female cat? We have all smelled the lord's butt, he is definitely a real male cat!"

The cat's anal glands store gender information, and you can tell whether the cat is male or female by smelling it. Ahu swears with his little yellow dog that he will never smell the wrong smell of a male cat!

When Lu Yu jumped in after Senwu, he heard Ahu's deafening speech. His cat face was embarrassed, and he was discussing the lord's butt in public. These cats are so wild and wild!

Lu Yu couldn't help but chase Senwu's butt to see, well, it was indeed a male cat, with obvious characteristics.

Little Lihua, who still retains a sense of human shame, blushed, turned her eyes away uncomfortably, and almost fell to the ground with her left foot and right foot.

Fortunately, Senwu kept an eye on it and blocked it with his tail, thus preventing Lu Yu from being embarrassed in front of so many fluffy animals.

Ahhhh! Almost becoming the laughing stock of the cats, Lu Yu shrank his head and followed behind the big black cat, scratching his neck and licking the hair on his hind legs as if nothing had happened to reduce his sense of presence.

"Boss Sen."

"Lord."

Seeing the big black cat appear, the cats scattered in the warehouse stood up one after another to say hello.

Sen Wu looked around, nodded, twisted against Lu Yu and pushed it out: "Just in time for everyone to get to know each other, this is Lu Yu. Good boy, they are all backbone members of the Cat Gang."

More than a dozen pairs of bright hoods converged on Lu Yu, and the effect was not inferior to the large follow-up lights on the stage.

Under the bright gazes of the cats, Lu Yu cleared his throat, clasped his paws together, folded his tail, and said nervously: "Hello everyone, I am Lu Yu, you can just call me A Yu."

Less than one year old, she is still a kitten with a tender voice. The cats thought in unison.

"Yo! Little raccoon flower!"

Ahu jumped out enthusiastically and sniffed each other's noses with Lu Yu. Starting with the cow cat, the cats stepped forward one by one to exchange scent with Lu Yu according to their status.

When the cat recognition ceremony was over, Lu Yu kept touching his nose with his paws because there were too many smells exchanged at once. Seeing this, Senwu took the little civet flower and stretched out his tongue to lick it from head to face.

Meow, I feel much more comfortable! Thank you Senwu!

Lu Yu nuzzled the big black cat's chest cutely.

Senwu was also very satisfied. All the mixed smells that Lu Yu had been exposed to were gone, leaving only his own smell.

Hey, he's even more coquettish than a newborn kitten.

The cats collectively paid attention and watched with gusto. Seeing is believing. The lord fell in love, and it seemed that it was not unrequited love, but that the lover was interested. They were really a couple of gods.

This scene spread from person to person.

The final version became: The lord’s little friend is very coquettish and wants the lord to lick and wash his face anytime and anywhere. The two cats like to lick the cats in public. They are so affectionate!

Lu Yu's lasagna burst into tears and stretched out his claws: Shut up! Don't spread it! Cats don’t have that kind of quirk!

At this time, Senwu circled Lu Yu beside him and introduced the four leaders: "The four cat gangs are..."

"Fat Master, Tianyuan Gang."

"Ahu, street gang."

"Axuan, fishing gang."

"Taoda, campus gang."

Senwu said one thing and Lu Yu remembered another. It remembered it immediately. The naming method is very straightforward. The four gangs should be divided according to the territory where they forage.

Lu Yu looked over one by one. Each of the leader cats was very strong, but the cats under his subordinates had different body shapes. The Pastoral Gang and the Campus Gang were fatter, while the Street Gang and the Fishing Gang were slimmer.

Could it be related to the amount of exercise and the difficulty of finding food?

Lu Yu thought his guess was reasonable. He remembered that all the cats in the school in his previous life were chubby. He could seduce kind-hearted students to pet and feed them just by taking a walk and acting cute every day.

Stray cats on the street have a much harder time, digging through trash cans, begging for food from pedestrians, dodging traffic, being chased away by wild dogs, and running around all day without enough food to fill their stomachs.

They are also stray cats, but the difficulty of survival is different depending on the choice.

With everyone present, the Cat Gang party officially begins. The cats did not gather in the center, but were scattered around.

Senwu chose a piece of ground in the center of the warehouse and lay down, holding the little roly-poly mouse in his arms: "Good boy, come here to play."

There were many strange cats, and they were all male cats. Their smell was strong and pungent. Its smell was strong and could suppress all the cats. Lu Yu felt more comfortable playing in its arms.

Lu Yu walked over obediently, held down the roly-poly and bit it. At the same time, its ears stood high, paying attention to the issues discussed by the cats at any time.

The cats' loose temperament is clearly displayed at the party. They often get into fights while talking, or branch out to other topics, and they talk about trivial things.

The so-called cat gang gathering does not look like a serious discussion of important matters, but more like a free and informal tea party.

Lu Yuxiao, who was tired of playing with the little mouse and was thinking about going home, asked Senwu in a low voice: "How long will your meeting take?"

Senwu thought for a while: "I remember we used to talk until the moon came out."

As expected of a night owl, we chatted from sunset to midnight. When you are hungry, you can catch mice on the spot for a midnight snack. Lu Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

However, this is also the case in human meetings. A group of people gather around and chatter about something, but nothing comes out of the meeting when the meeting ends. The cats were entertained for at least a whole night.

At this time, a cat finally asked a serious question.

The cat who asked the question was from the Fishing Gang. The Fishing Gang's territory was spread along both sides of the river. They didn't have to worry about not having fish to eat in spring, summer and autumn, and they would also prey on the birds on the trees by the river.

Moreover, people who like fishing will feed them the fish they catch, and their lives can be said to be very nourishing.

But in winter, the rivers freeze, fewer people fish, birds migrate south, and the cats lose most of their food sources. They are hungry and cold for a long time, making it difficult for them to survive.

The fat man was already sleepy. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and said, "As usual, everyone depends on their ability."

Ah Hu stated his position with great enthusiasm: "On days when the river is frozen and the school is empty, you can come to our territory to forage, but you cannot conflict with our cats."

After all, in winter, there are far fewer people feeding cats in the streets and alleys, and there are still many cats that can’t find food and run into their territory, and they themselves are tight.

Fatty yawned: "As long as you are not too far away, you can come here. But don't blame Fatty for not saying hello. It's not easy to catch mice in the fields in winter."

Which wild cat can survive the winter without some real ability?

Stay wild, stay vigilant, and increase your chances of survival. Cats rarely blame anyone and just try their best to survive until spring, knowing that when spring comes, food and water will be plentiful.

The life of a stray cat is like a leaf in a fast river. It may be overturned by the waves caused by a stone thrown into the river at any time. Only if you are strong enough to hold the rudder can you avoid capsizing and losing your life.

When Lu Yu heard this, he cast a surprised look at the cats. The plush cats actually helped each other and allowed competitors to forage on their own territory, just like human society.

Sensing the surprise of Little Lihua, the fat man turned to it and said: "The method was proposed by Boss Sen, meow. After all, we have other enemies to deal with, so we can't lose too many members."

"Yes, those wild dogs are not easy to deal with." Ahu's teeth started to itch when he mentioned them. "They are cruel to their own species, and they are even more merciless to our cats."

Tao Da held his chin: "According to previous years' experience, surviving the winter should not be a problem. Although casualties are inevitable, this is the best way we can think of."

Share food, try to keep most members from going hungry, and stay together until the spring when the ice and snow melts.

The four alpha cats all expressed their opinions, and the other cats naturally had no objections, especially the fishing gang and the campus gang. The food eaten on other cats' territory in winter can be returned when spring comes. After all, no one among the cats has suffered a loss. .

Um? No matter if there is enough food, you must eat the food that comes to your mouth! Street gangs and farm gangs confidently stated that their cats are always lazy and do not want to hunt for a few days a month.

The premise is the same as in previous years.

Lu Yu suddenly remembered the weather forecast he had seen online a few days ago, which said that this winter would be colder than before, with heavier snowfall, so everyone should be prepared for disaster prevention and avoidance.

When it told the news, the cats looked at each other in shock. They didn't understand what a weather forecast was. In the past, when faced with the challenges of cold winter, they would just take it one step at a time.

Lu Yu now tells them that he learned from humans that the coming winter will be colder than before. Wait, how do cats understand human words? How do you understand human language?

The cats find it incredible that human writing is uglier than earthworms. Cats feel sleepy after reading it. It’s amazing that cats can learn it!

The cats cheered for joy. There was a scholarly cat among them. This was a strange new thing!

So Monk Lu Yuzhang was confused when he saw the cats suddenly meowing loudly, and the atmosphere in the warehouse became lively like a party. Wait, what is going on? Winter is getting colder. Isn’t that something worth celebrating?

Curling up his body, Lu Yu quietly shrank into Senwu's arms, a little afraid that he would be pulled in to dance together.

Turning over so that Lu Yu could hide more comfortably, Senwu meowed softly and loudly, conveying the meaning of "if you make any more noise, you will be beaten" in a calm and authoritative voice.

The cats immediately fell silent, restrained their wild dancing, and sat down obediently with their paws close together, as if they were the boss asking for a word.

Senwu was very satisfied and looked up at the four alpha cats: "Just like Guai Zai said, more cats may die this winter. What are you going to do?"

The fat man patted the floor in annoyance: "Cold! If it gets colder, the soil will be frozen, and it will be even harder to catch the mice in the field. We will not be able to protect ourselves."

Ahu paced anxiously, biting his subordinate's tail in anger: "Cats hate snow the most! The food freezes to stone, it's cold and bites the teeth! Humans will also hide indoors and reduce the number of times they come out to feed."

Tao Da sighed: "We are lucky, some female cats are about to give birth, and the kittens may not survive."

Ah Xuan said expressionlessly: "Ice." The river will freeze, no fish can be caught, and fishermen will not come.

After calculation, the difficulty of survival of cats has doubled.

The atmosphere in the warehouse became gloomy and gloomy again.

The restless Lu Yu couldn't stop, so he just turned over and sat on Senwu's head, biting the tips of his ears and playing with them. Infected by the cats' emotions, he stopped nibbling and lowered his head and asked the big black cat: "Senwu, what are you doing?" Is there nothing you can do?"

Senwu shook his head: "We can't fight nature. I can only try to help when I see it."

But how many cats can it save? Even if you add the four alpha cats, it's still a drop in the bucket.

A blizzard is passing by, and people are hurriedly walking on the road. Under the snow, some are hibernating lives, and some are lives sleeping forever.

Small animals that cannot survive the winter are buried under trees or discarded in trash cans, and are soon completely forgotten.

At this time, Ahu suddenly jumped over and looked at Lu Yu eagerly: "Little Lihua, you are so knowledgeable, you must have a way, right?"

Its voice lit up everyone's hope.

Yes, yes, as a literate cat, Ayu must have something to do.

The cats were whispering loudly, and even the four cat gang leaders wanted to look over.

Lu Yu's cat skin suddenly tightened.

In a panic, its limbs failed to step firmly, and it rolled down. Senwu quickly caught it with his quick eyes and hands, held it in his arms and began to lick its fur.

Lu Yu didn't dare to look at the cats. He was a half-baked cat who couldn't even climb a tree. How could he think of these cats? My heart is too big!

Senwu can't agree, right? Senwu, say something!

Lu Yu turned to look at the big black cat for help.

Senwu smiled at Lu Yu and rubbed the tip of his nose with it encouragingly. The light in his deep eyes shone, showing his warm trust.

It's hopeless, the lord is also an idiot.
