The Cat's Inheritance

Xin Qin is an otaku who lives in the house left to him by his grandmother. He doesn't need to fulfill his parents' expectations, but obeys his own wishes and lives a decadent life of upside-down games and takeaways day and night.When the lights came on, he had just woken up. He glanced at the cat litter and cat toys piled up in the corner, and then looked at the ceiling again, staring blankly.

Coffee, the old Persian cat at home, has been gone for three full months.Without the low meowing meowing, the whole house was eerily silent.The sound of an angry mother calling the child to eat came from the opposite floor, and someone downstairs was laughing loudly, and the aroma of food seemed to be wafting in the air.After lying down for another 10 minutes, I finally got up.After washing and getting dressed, he walked to the corner, bent down, piled up the pile of sundries, and picked them up.When walking down, the corridor was crowded with a group of very young children.They jostled and played in the narrow aisles.A little boy who took the lead saw Qinqin and screamed: "Someone here is throwing a kitten!" The children huddled together in fear, and looked at Qinqin timidly.Qin Qin didn't speak, didn't even look at them, hugged the cat nest, and walked through the gap made by the child.It's not a kitten, it's just a box!Qin Qin heard a little girl shouting behind her.There was another loud chasing sound.

The trash cans in the complex are clean and seem to have just been cleared.Hardworking neatly stacked the things that belonged to the coffee in his hand and put them into the trash can.The food dispenser for stray cats next to the litter box is full, and the water has been added, but there is no cat.I was thinking hard about which store I should go to to pack a takeaway home today, but my feet unknowingly walked towards the bench beside the flower garden.He sat down. From this angle, he could just see the cat food dispenser.It was getting colder and colder, and I didn't wear much clothes for hard work, and the muscles of my legs trembled unconsciously in the cold wind.He raised his hand and wrapped the fluffy scarf tightly. This scarf was the last one his grandma knitted for him when he was alive.

Ali crawled among the flowers, secretly looking at the human from the gaps in the branches.He knew that man was his aunt's legacy.This is not the first time Ah Li has seen Qin Qin, but it is indeed the closest one.Ali came to Maochun, and it has been a whole week since she came to the community where Xinqin lives, and she has only seen Qinqin two or three times.He once saw this human being that belonged to his aunt standing at the door of a residential building from a distance, hastily accepted cardboard boxes that he didn't know what they meant, and then hurriedly left Ali's sight.Although a little dazed, Ali has gradually understood that the silver door cannot be opened easily, and all stray cats like him will be stopped outside.And inside, there is his legacy.

His Legacy looks pale and too thin—by ​​feline standards, of course.It is difficult for such a thin cat to survive in winter.Ali shook her head secretly in her heart.He still can't make up his mind how to show up, identify himself, and let the humans take him home.Today's human beings have been outside for a long time. He has no fur, so won't he be cold?Ah Li thinks this is his good opportunity, he can jump out unexpectedly and order Qin Qin to become his human being.But he was a little hesitant, he had never had any human beings, and he didn't know how to get along with them.

Will he like me?

Mao Chuncheng's life as a vagabond was not difficult.Many communities have their own cat feeding machines for stray cats. Although the tough food tastes weird, it is not unpalatable, and Ah Li does not worry about being hungry.The humans here are pretty friendly. Although not many humans would be willing to get close to a stray cat with paw prints, at least no one bullies him, which is very different from the days in the countryside.Probably the most annoying thing is that there are too many cats, which is annoying, and they often have to fight for territory.The scars on Ali's body increased a lot.Winter was coming, and he didn't want to die for it.

Ali moved her limbs lightly, hesitated for a long time, and then quietly moved forward by half a paw.As soon as she moved, Ah Li quickly retracted her paw, um, lick it.When he first came to Mao Chuncheng, he met a domineering tabby cat.That guy has a big shoulder and a round waist, and he has great strength.Ali had a fight with him, and accidentally stepped on broken glass when he got away, and the small and sharp dregs were embedded in the flesh of his paw. The left front paw has been hurting badly for the past few days, and it is bigger than the right paw.Thinking of this, Ah Li couldn't help but licked her paw lightly again, and suddenly felt dark in front of her eyes.

Qinqin squatted down and quietly looked at the big cat that he thought was well hidden.A raccoon cat was dirty, and one paw seemed to be inflamed, unusually swollen, like a small steamed bun.He hesitated for a moment, bowed his head slightly, stretched out two fingers, poked them lightly, and stopped in front of the raccoon cat's nose.

A Li was startled, her fur exploded, she leaned back, shrugged her shoulders, and couldn't make up her mind for a moment whether she should use her claws or not.The human moved its paw closer.What does he want to do?Do you want me to smell him?But shouldn't you be smelling butts?But he smells so good!Ah Li's heart was pounding, her neck was stiff, and her ears were pushed back.

The hard-working fingers stopped for a moment, then continued to lean forward firmly but slowly, bent, and gently rubbed the tip of Cihuamao's nose with their knuckles.The cihuamao was obviously frightened, quickly moved its head away, and took the opportunity to touch the back of its neck.Ali felt the hairs all over her body stand on end.It was the first time someone touched his neck like this since he left his mother.It was a strange feeling, neither uncomfortable nor comfortable.Itchy, weird, meow, it made him want to break free.But Ari remained motionless in the end.

Qin Qin approached slowly, and gently combed the cihuamao's fur with his fingertips.In fact, it was a beautiful raccoon cat. He felt a little surprised that he had a feeling like love at first sight for such a strange stray cat. "You're hurt." He said softly, "Do you want to go somewhere warm?"

What is he saying?Ah Li's green eyeballs are round and round, like two beautiful glass beads.

"You need some food and antibiotics." Qin Qin rubbed his knuckles twice more, withdrew his hand, gently took off the scarf around his neck, shook it, and put it in front of Ali's nose, like teasing a cat.

Ali pricked up her ears curiously and shook.He slowly began to relax, but remained motionless in a squatting position.His nostrils fluttered slightly, and he smelled the unique scent of human beings in the warm braid.It smells so good.

Use the scarf to get closer to the cihuamao little by little.He was very patient and his movements were gentle. Ali began to narrow her eyes, and gently surrounded him with a scarf with body temperature.Qin Qin raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, then suddenly reached out and hugged the cat together with the scarf.Ah Li barely reacted, the whole cat was already tightly hugged by the human, and he subconsciously stretched his limbs to struggle.Xin Qin coaxed softly, "Shh, don't move, let's go to the doctor." He adjusted his posture so that the cihuamao could nest more comfortably.

Ali suddenly didn't want to struggle anymore.His humans were gentle and didn't hurt him.More importantly, this human has a super-good smell and a body temperature like the warm sun.Huhu, he really wants to purr.

This little guy is quite obedient, thought hard.He didn't go home either, wrapped the raccoon cat in a scarf, went straight out of the community, and took a taxi to a nearby pet clinic.When getting into the taxi, Xin Qin suddenly thought that he shouldn't have thrown away the cat bag for the coffee, maybe he could still use it.But after thinking about it, the bag of coffee is strawberry powder, and this raccoon cat looks like a boy, so it might not be needed.Is it a boy?Hardworking and curious, he looked down at the well-behaved big cat in his arms, and then had a comprehensive checkup at the clinic.

Ah Li is not really so obedient.Although he was a bit lost when he said it, he was really frightened.His human carried him into a big iron box—the car. He still remembered that his little sister Nile Piaoxue had told him before that humans liked this kind of iron box that could run by themselves.He didn't know where the humans were taking him.Outside the glass window, shattered neon lights flashed past, leaving only colorful shadows.Ali stared at the green eyeballs, uneasily catching the passing light spots, and clung to his human beings.

This world is so big meow!

The warm and thick palm of a human was pressed against his head.Ah Li wanted to look up at his human beings, but her sight was blocked, but she felt very relieved.After an unknown amount of time, the human finally crawled out of the iron box holding him.Ali was taken into a strange room, and the air was filled with a strange smell that made cats uncomfortable.Ah Li wrinkled the tip of her nose, a little annoying.At the same time, he noticed that there were many similar dogs and many stupid dogs around him.They were either led by the neck, or put in strange cages, and they did not communicate with each other, and their creaking and humming conveyed an atmosphere of anxiety.

What is this place?Ah Li struggled in panic, and was quickly hugged tightly by the human again. "Don't move." Qin Qin hissed softly, wrapped the cihuamao's head tightly with a scarf, leaving only a small circle.Small spaces tend to give cats a sense of security.At this time, the curious and a little flustered civet cat was vigilantly looking at the outside world from the small hole.Tsk—the raccoon cat bared its teeth unfriendlyly at the Samoyed next to it.The big white dog wagged its tail excitedly.Hard work couldn't help but smile.

It was late and they didn't have a long queue.The name of this pet clinic is "Ji Duo Duo". Before Hardworking, he had brought coffee many times, and he was quite familiar with the doctor.Doctor Yu is on duty today.The gentle female doctor did a rough examination on the cihuamao, and also studied the scar on its left eye. After confirming that it was an old injury, she felt that it was a pity.Dr. Yu planned to use alcohol to clean the wound on his left front paw, and use tweezers to remove the glass shards.Ah Li didn't know what happened, but suddenly the atmosphere of strange humans filled his surroundings, and his body was held down.Ali began to get impatient.

Meow!My sister said that after entering a family and taking over humans, cats will be asked to show off in front of their human companions.Meow no!I am not ready yet!Ali started to yell loudly.It's a pity that his human couldn't understand what he was talking about, so he just stroked him gently, and even helped the doctor hold Ali hard.Ali struggled even harder.

go!I can't do it now!My fur is filthy and matted in so many places that I haven't had time to lick it!I'm still so skinny!I don't look good, and I have scars!You will be ridiculed by your companions!Ali turned her head and bared her teeth at his human angrily.Meow!I don't want to be your laughing stock!go!I should become more beautiful in the future, my younger sisters are very good-looking, shall we come back at that time...

Xin Qin listened to the raccoon cat's neighing sound getting smaller and smaller, presumably he hadn't eaten well in the past few days and had no energy.He frowned and asked the doctor, "Is the injury serious? He has several other wounds that I didn't have time to look at carefully."

The female doctor shook her head, "It's just an inflammation, it shouldn't be a problem, but I have to check it again. Pressing it hard, I can't hold the tweezers steadily." After a while, another female nurse came in to help.The three of them finally held down the exhausted Big Lihua.

Ah Li couldn't move her neck, and flicked her tail unhappily.Meow, this human being is so stupid, doesn't he know that he will be laughed at by his companions if he brings himself out in such a hurry to show off?It's hard to be ridiculed, he understands it.Ah Li thought of those human beings who had appeared a long time ago.Some of them also tried to take Ali away.But they all gave up in the end.

Ah, this cat doesn't look very pretty.

It is very fierce, look at its eyes.

Too dirty, don't you wash it?

throw it out!

Ali can't understand human language, but he can perceive the unkindness and disgust in their tone.I probably really don't look good.He doesn't want this gentle and nice-smelling human because he is ridiculed by his kind...

"Why are you crying?" Xin Qin lowered his head, freed up a hand to gently scratch the eye sockets of the raccoon cat, his fingertips were wet.The raccoon cat turned its head and ignored him.

Doctor Yu also came over to take a look, and said, "It's okay, it's normal. It still looks very energetic, little guy."

Cihuamao has completely quieted down.Qin Qin snorted the back of his thick head, and said softly: "It will be fine in a while."

Ah Li shook her head and put aside the human hand.Humph, idiot!Hiss, the claws hurt so much——
