Chapter 408: Buying

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Even after Sheng Ke had left, Famous was still squatting in front of the store, looking in the direction where the police vehicle had driven away, resurgent rays sparkling in its pupils.

Since arriving at the pet shop, Famous had been somewhat unhappy. It often squatted in the corner alone, its tongue out while it thought of something. Sometimes, it would close its eyes painfully, and even in the middle of the night, it would suddenly wake up, shivering. Zhang Zian did not know what it was thinking, but if it had somehow entered the black box Galaxy was once in, perhaps its body had escaped from the box, but its heart was still trapped in the box and was enduring endless reincarnation nightmares.

Unlike Richard, who was annoying when it first arrived at the pet shop, Famous had so many things to think about, such as where it came from and where it should go. It wanted to be an angel, it wanted to make up for mistakes from the past, and it wanted to live a life with no regret. But before that, it needed to know who it was.

Famous was muscular and strong. With it squatting at the entrance of the shop, some girls were too frightened to come in, and they begged Zhang Zian to take it away. Even some boys were a bit afraid of it.

Before Zhang Zian could ask, Famous had returned to its corner and lay down.

Famous was not a loner. Eyes wide open, it was gazing at the customers' smiles, interpreting their body language, and trying to understand their lives from their words and movements. Everyone was unique. Everyone had a distinctive experience. Whether they were rich or poor, whether they were happy or in pain, their experiences had shaped their different personalities, and their personalities had determined their destinies. As long as Famous looked into their eyes, it could look through their dull or tortuous lives.

With its head tilted, it cast a look at Zhang Zian. What would this person's life be like?

The Abyssinian cats were extremely popular. Even though Zhang Zian had repeatedly stressed that the kittens wouldn’t be born for at least another three months and would only be available for pickup six months after that, there were still several customers expressing their strong desires to preorder the kittens now. These customers had been raising their own cats at home, but they were just so fond of the adorable Abyssinian cats that looked like ancient elves. Especially when they heard that Abyssinian cats had relatively low reproductive abilities, they wanted to reserve one for themselves in case all the kittens were bought by others.

People loved Abyssinian cats for they were rare to be seen, but the popularity of Ragdoll kittens had endured the test of time, and this held true today. The shop's five Ragdoll kittens were no less popular than the Abyssinian cats because Ragdoll kittens did not require a reservation. Just pay, and you could bring one home immediately; no waiting!

A girl said crisply, "I have been to a lot of catteries, and the bicolored Ragdoll kittens have always been in short supply. To acquire bicolored Ragdoll kittens in such excellent condition, you must make a reservation and then wait in line for pickup, normally for a year or so. Some even take a couple of years. If you don’t want to wait that long, you can only choose from other varieties of Ragdolls."

It was well known that the price for bicolored Ragdoll kittens was very expensive, so the general psychology of the public was that since Ragdoll kittens cost at least 20,000 Yuan, why not spend more to buy a more desirable variety? Obviously, bicolored Ragdoll kittens were the most popular type because of their blue eyes…

A young man came here with his girlfriend, who was addicted to cats, and he remembered some of the cat selecting tips he had seen online and asked cautiously, "Manager, do these Ragdoll kittens have studbooks?"

"Of course." Zhang Zian knew someone would ask such a question, so he pulled out the studbooks given to him from Tim and showed them to the client. As a professional breeder running a cattery, Tim would not omit these sorts of simple details.

Though Abyssinian cats and Ragdoll kittens were very popular, other breeds of cats were not forgotten. Even though the body shapes and fur colors were different, every cat was a cat to love.

Some people asked Zhang Zian if every cat in the store could dance. Zhang Zian made it clear that all the cats currently being sold in the shop, regardless of their breed, from Dragon Li to Ragdoll kittens, could perform the same movements.

Next, of course, was time for a routine performance. A lot of Snowy’s die-hard fans, who were temporarily unable to raise cats for a variety of reasons, were here today for the live performance of the cats in the shop.

After the crowd put forward strong requests, Zhang Zian clapped his hands three times at the kittens.

The kittens in the store, hearing the sign that Fina had trained them to react to, all moved toward Zhang Zian, aligning themselves like the well-trained soldiers.

Most of the people at present were from the audience of Snowy’s live broadcast, so they had seen such a scene before and were able to maintain their composures. But for those who had never seen this before, they could not believe their eyes.

A bigger surprise was awaiting them. Zhang Zian took out his cell phone, and the music of Little Apple began.

As the music flowed out of the cell phone, the kittens began dancing to the beat by wiggling their tails, shaking and nodding their heads, and raising and swinging their paws. Obviously, these were only ordinary movements, but since they were being performed by kittens, these moves seemed outstandingly attractive, and even some customers who were picking out dogs had stopped playing with the puppies and came to watch the kittens dance, both surprised and appalled.

There were a few young men and women who usually only listened to elegant music like Tchaikovsky and felt disturbed by the music of Madonna. To these people, songs like Little Apple had always been so disliked that even when they briefly heard the song on the streets, they would frown. But right now, they seemed to be intoxicated by the actions of the kittens. By the ecstatic looks on their faces, it would have seemed to anyone else that they had heard the sound of heaven.

After the song ended, several customers who were serious cat-aholics remained silent for a long time before they were awakened by the applause and screams of other customers.

There was only one thought in their minds — buying these kittens!

"I want this one!"

"This one is mine! No one can take it away from me!"

Some people even held their favorite kittens in their arms to declare their ownership and take precautions against others.

Customers who had intended to buy dogs, while astonished by the kittens, had not changed their minds, because the fun brought by the interaction between dogs and people was much greater than from cats.

A few customers who could not wait to buy the Abyssinian cats found that the seven Abyssinian cats did not dance with the rest of the kittens just now and asked, "May I ask why the Abyssinian cats were not dancing?"

Zhang Zian calmly laughed, "Actually, I have prepared a different set of dance movements for the Abyssinian cats. Anyone interested?"
