found an orange cat

Encounters are always wonderful.

You don't know what day it will appear, what second, with whom, what will happen.In the end it can change your life.

——Peach Notes

On a lightly raining afternoon, the unique cold wind in winter poured moisture into everyone's collar.

The temperature of minus three degrees is not a comfortable temperature.

Chang Xia hurried into the corridor of the community with a big cardboard box in his arms, the bone-chilling chill made him shiver uncontrollably. "It's really cold." Chang Xiaha let out a breath of white air, shrinking her neck and burying her face in the soft scarf.

The box is full of food packaging bags, all of which are "net celebrity snacks" that are now popular on the Internet.Buying so many is not because Chang Xia is a foodie who likes to follow trends, but because he needs to write reviews for these Internet celebrity snacks.

That's right, Chang Xia's job is the editor of a gourmet public account. His job is to sort out food information and evaluate various gourmet foods. Sometimes he also accepts some small advertisements for restaurants and food, writes copywriting for them and shoots some simple photos. product image.

Holding this heavy cardboard box, Chang Xia only felt that her arm was so painful.The floor displayed by the elevator finally showed 1. As soon as the metal door opened, Chang Xia walked in quickly. After pressing the floor of 12, Chang Xia let out a long breath.

The winter in the south is really unbearable, and it is risking your life to go out.

Arrived on the 12th floor, the elevator door opened, Chang Xia walked out of the elevator door holding the cardboard box, but felt something followed him out of the elevator, and rubbed his right leg.

Um?Chang Xia hugged the cardboard box and looked at her feet with difficulty.

It was a pitiful little orange cat, drenched in rain and with all its fur tangled together.

The orange cat's hair was messy and unattractive. It looked up at Chang Xia with its amber eyes, and stepped on it uneasily with its two small white front paws.

"Oh my God." Chang Xia hurriedly put the cardboard box aside, squatted down and looked at this poor cat full of stray air.Because he was afraid that the cat would be afraid of him, Chang Xia first stretched out a hand to let the cat smell the scent, and then gently stroked its head.

The orange cat was completely fearless, closing its eyes and raising its hair up, purring comfortably, and rubbing against his hands, Chang Xia's heart softened almost to the point of dripping water. "Why are you in the elevator?" Chang Xia asked it in a soft voice.

Of course the cat wouldn't open its mouth to answer Chang Xia's question. It stretched out its left paw and pressed it on the back of Chang Xia's hand. The cool pad was like a chilled rubber candy, icy and bouncy.

Only then did Chang Xia realize that its body was shaking slightly, probably because the weather was too cold and its fur was still wet, the orange cat couldn't help but sneezed.

"Little poor." Chang Xia hurriedly opened the door of the apartment, put the cardboard box in the entrance, and carried the orange cat into the bathroom.

And there's nothing better for a cat than a warm, hot bath after a rain shower.

Chang Xia never thought of keeping pets.One is because he has never raised a pet before, and he is not sure whether he can raise it well; the other is because he often has to work overtime, and the pitiful holidays are almost all used for rest, so he has no time to think about raising pets.

But fate sent a stray kitten in front of him, how should he choose.

There are still two months of winter to go, and it is definitely inappropriate to let the cat out to wander now.What about sending it to an adoption center?Looking at the orange cat's big amber eyes that were staring at him closely, I felt a little reluctance in my heart.

Or... stay?

Chang Xia turned on the electric heater, and gently placed the cat on the cushion in front of the electric heater.Feeling the warmth, the orange cat meowed comfortably. After kicking her two little hands, she got down on her body and closed her eyes with peace of mind. Her movements were extremely cute.

Just raise it.Chang Xia couldn't help showing a kind smile like an old mother. He stroked the orange cat's back for a while, and couldn't help scratching its little chin with his fingers. The feel of the furry made Chang Xia feel happy.

Chang Xia no longer struggled, he lowered his head and pinched the orange cat's back neck, and said to it, "Tomorrow I will take you for a check-up and vaccination." Thinking of owning a cat in this way, he burst out laughing, "Unexpectedly, I also have a cat."

Now that I have decided to keep this cat, I must choose a name.Chang Xia looked at the orange cat's 360-degree round bun face with no dead ends, and after thinking hard for a while, she made a solemn decision:

"Then call you Butt Tao."

Happiness comes too suddenly, it is easy to get carried away.

Daily life after having a cat is completely different from being single.Every morning Pi Tao would jump on the bed to wake Chang Xia up, and after Chang Xia fed it canned food, Pi Tao would squat on the cushion in front of the electric heater and start its daily doze off.Sometimes it's too boring, Pi Tao will jump on Chang Xia's workbench and harass him who is typing.

However, what makes Pi Tao most addicted is the unlimited supply of cat food in the automatic feeder and the cat snacks fed to him at regular intervals every day.

Food intake is of course proportional to weight gain.

When Chang Xia finally realized that she was raising an "orange" cat, Pi Tao had already settled in his house for a month.Pitao has adapted very well this month. Not only does he eat a lot and sleep soundly, but he also likes to urge Chang Xia, who works at home, to turn on the TV at 5 pm every day because he wants to watch Peppa Pig.

In just one month, Pi Tao has changed from a skinny and small body to a round and plump one, with a tendency to keep gaining weight.

Chang Xia, who didn't know how much cats eat, didn't feel anything unusual until the owner of the online shop where he often bought cat food asked him enthusiastically how many cats he had, and Chang Xia replied with a confused face, "Just one Just, what's the matter?"

The shopkeeper was silent for half a minute, and then sent a long series of ellipsis, saying, "Then your cat can eat too much, the cat food you bought is almost a month's food intake of a normal adult cat, you It’s time to buy it for the second time every month.”

Chang Xia turned her head in disbelief and looked at Pi Tao, who was eating well with her face buried in the can, with a black line on her forehead.

It turned out that it was not my illusion that it gained weight so quickly.

"Do you need to control its food intake?" Chang Xia asked the owner.

"Generally speaking, it's better to control it. If a cat eats too much, it will easily cause a load on the stomach." The owner replied quickly, "If you are overweight, you will suffer from various diseases just like people."

Chang Xia nodded approvingly.

Pi Tao, who was unaware of this, suddenly felt a chill behind her back, and the tip of her tail exploded into a dandelion.

Why do I feel that something is wrong... Pi Tao raised his head, and there were still can residues on his beard.
