The days of being a cat in Japan

In the early morning, just as the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Grandma Fujimoto got up from bed and began to prepare breakfast for the family.

The breakfast prepared by Grandma Fujimoto is very light, with white porridge, fried eggs, stir-fried vegetables and some toasted bread.

When the room was filled with the aroma of rice, the rest of the Fujimoto family began to smell the smell and get angry one after another.

After washing up, I went to the kitchen to help my mother-in-law arrange the dishes. Looking at the breakfast table that was not rich but nutritious, Mrs. Fujimoto said with a smile: "I have relaxed a lot during the past few days when my mother came. It’s rare to be able to air bed after seven o’clock every morning, and it’s really a blessing to have elders at home.”

Granny Fujimoto came out with a plate of toast and said: "We women all come here like this. I think when I first joined Fujimoto's family as a wife, Guangyang's father worked in the morning shift, and he would arrive at the factory at 6:5 every day." .In order to let him eat breakfast, I have to get up at [-] o'clock every day. It's okay in summer, but in winter the sun doesn't rise at [-] o'clock in the morning, so I can only make breakfast for them in the dark."

Hearing this, Mr. Fujimoto put down the morning paper in his hand, turned to Grandma Fujimoto and asked, "Mom, do you have to go back today? Wait a little longer, okay? I have an operation this morning, and it has already been scheduled and can't be changed. There's no way I can send you there."

Grandma Fujimoto said to her son while filling her grandson's bowl with porridge, "I'm only in my 60s, and I haven't reached the point where I can't go home anymore. If you have something to do, go and do your own thing. I'll be alone." People can go home."

Mr. Fujimoto frowned when he heard this, obviously he was struggling with the two issues of sending his mother and postponing the operation time.

Mrs. Fujimoto, who is familiar with his character, thought about it and said, "Well, I will take my mother to the station, but after I get back, I will go home and not go to the shop. Today is my vacation, okay?"

This idea was approved by the whole family, so after the children went to school, Mr. Fujimoto drove to the hospital to prepare for work, and Mrs. Fujimoto helped her mother-in-law pack up her heart, and then took a taxi to take her to the station.

After all the humans in the house were gone, Mo went out to inspect the territory in the morning as usual, while Xu Jie found a sunny spot in the living room, lay down on it and began to lazily bask in the sun.

Just when Xu Jie was drowsy under the winter sun, there was the sound of a key opening the door from the entrance outside.

The clever Xu Jie opened his eyes wide and looked towards the entrance, only to see that Mrs. Fujimoto, who had gone out to see someone off before, had returned.

Excited Ah Zhong swung his big tail and rushed towards the hostess. Seeing this, Xu Jie, who was basking in the sun on the window sill, also got up and stretched his waist, and then jumped off the window sill to welcome Mrs. Fujimoto back home.

Laying down on the sofa with her cat and dog in her arms, Mrs. Fujimoto rolled around happily and said, "Well, it's been a long time since I stayed so comfortably for a while, it seems that I still need to give myself a vacation once in a while."

Hearing the words, Xu Jie lay on the side, opened his mouth and looked at him, heaved a big sigh, shook his ears and began to wash his face with his paws.

In fact, it quite understands Mrs. Fujimoto's feelings. As the hostess of the Fujimoto family, she bears no less pressure than Mr. Fujimoto.

As a traditional Japanese woman, Mrs. Fujimoto is not only responsible for three meals a day at home, but also takes care of the children and adults at home, as well as the daily chores at the store.

Although it doesn't sound like a big deal here, but if you can't hold it, there are so many and chaotic things, and it takes a lot of energy to go through the cycle day after day.

It must be a rare opportunity for Mrs. Fujimoto to be able to steal half a day of leisure in Fusheng now.

After boiling a pot of hot water, Mrs. Fujimoto made herself a cup of tea, turned on the TV and tuned to her favorite channel, drank the tea and leaned against the sofa, while the melodious music came from the TV.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Fujimoto should enjoy such leisure time, but within half an hour, this lady began to feel a little restless.

After tossing and turning on the sofa for a few laps, Mrs. Fujimoto sat up and said with a wry smile: "I really don't have a bit of life to enjoy, and finally I was able to rest for half a day, and my hands that had no work started to itch. .”

After speaking, the lady locked her eyes on the two fluffy bodies in the house.

Tadashi, the big golden retriever who was born and bred in the Fujimoto family, knew that something was wrong when he saw the hostess' eyes.

It jumped up from the ground with a bang, and ran away from Mrs. Fujimoto in an instant.

Seeing the golden retriever running away at home, Mrs. Fujimoto focused all her attention on Xu Jie.

She hugged Xu Jie with a smile on her face and said, "You are the most obedient, Great Sage. Did you stay with me because you knew my hands were itchy?"

Xu Jie said with tears in his heart, "No, I just reacted too slowly and didn't have time to escape."

But no matter what it thinks in its heart, it has already fallen into Mrs. Fujimoto's arms, so it has to be hugged obediently for nursing.

The daily care of cats usually starts with nail clipping, and Xu Jie’s is no exception.

Mrs. Fujimoto took out her spare toolbox from the house, then put Xu Jie on her lap, took out the nail clippers for pets from the toolbox, and began to trim Xu Jie's toenails.

It is not difficult at all to cut a cat's toenails. First, fix its paws to be trimmed, and gently squeeze the toenails and the soles behind them, and the toenails will automatically stick out.

Then carefully observe the cat's exposed toenails, and use sharp pet nail clippers to cut off the toenails above the blood line.

When doing this step, you must be very careful. The position of the lower scissors must be above the blood line inside the toenail, and do not cut the blood line or the sensitive flesh under the paw.

After trimming your cat's toenails, don't forget their "thumbs." The thumbs are on the inside of the front legs. Some cats have 6 or 7 toes on each foot.

Mrs. Fujimoto deserves to be a professional nurse who has been working for more than ten years. Xu Jie's four paws were all taken care of without using her hands for 10 minutes.

After the claws are finished, there are ears and eyes. This step is also very simple, as long as you prepare earwash and cotton swabs.

Mrs. Fujimoto squeezed the earwash liquid into Xu Jie's ear canal and wet the pinna, and gently rubbed the root of his ear to allow the ear liquid and dirt to fully contact.

Then Mrs. Fujimoto instructed Xu Jie: "The great sage shakes his ears and shakes out the dirt in the ear canal."

After Xu Jie did what he said, Mrs. Fujimoto wiped it with a cotton swab to make its ear canal dry and clean.

Compared with ears, it is easier to clean the eyes, because cats usually attach great importance to the hygiene of their eyes, so for cats with no eye diseases, just wipe them with a cotton swab.

So Mrs. Fujimoto dragged Xu Jie's chin, observed its eyes, and after confirming that there was no problem and it was very clean, she directly omitted this step.

After that, it is to clean the cat's mouth. This step is usually recommended by Mrs. Fujimoto to regular customers when she is in a beauty salon.

Because it is dangerous to operate, it must be an animal that is familiar enough to trust each other.

As a star cat, Xu Jie has his own special toothpaste and toothbrush, and Jiantai will brush his teeth gently at a fixed time, so it is the first time for him to clean his mouth.

Mrs. Fujimoto found medical gauze and salt water in her toolbox, wrapped the gauze around her finger, moistened it with salt water, and asked Xu Jie to open her mouth wide.

Xu Jie opened her mouth wide, and Mrs. Fujimoto quickly inserted her fingers into its mouth, and began to clean its mouth and teeth sequentially with the gauze wrapped around her index finger.

To be honest, this feeling is quite strange, and it is not the same as when brushing your teeth.

So Xu Jie held his mouth so that Mrs. Fujimoto could work better, while silently praying in his heart that the oral care would be over soon.

Maybe it was Xu Jie's prayers that worked, anyway, this kind of oral care that made the cat unable to tell what it felt like was completed within a few minutes.

Xu Jie, who kept his mouth shut, said that it was finally over. Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he found that Mrs. Fujimoto had picked up the brush for grooming pets again.

After a nursing session, Mrs. Fujimoto was refreshed, and although Xu Jie was a little unhappy during the nursing, he was also very satisfied when he looked in the mirror that he looked a lot better.

Just as Mrs. Fujimoto was packing her tools, she suddenly heard the melodious light music on the TV suddenly turned into dynamic and energetic music.

I didn't change the channel either, why did the tune suddenly change?

Mrs. Fujimoto, who was full of doubts, looked up and saw that the TV channel had been changed.

Now on the screen is a very beautiful young lady with a very good figure, wearing a fitness suit, teaching everyone how to exercise and lose weight.

And the raccoon cat in my house actually just squatted in front of the TV, and followed the fitness trainer inside to learn this new movement in a serious manner.

Looking at the skillful movements of the raccoon cat, it is obvious that this is not the first time she has followed suit. Although Mrs. Fujimoto has always known that the cat raised by her son is amazing, it is the first time she has seen such a cat that is so miraculous.

Mrs. Fujimoto, who felt a little dizzy, rubbed her head and said, "I must have not had a good rest, and I am starting to hallucinate, um, let's go to sleep first."

When Mo came back, he saw his little Lihua stretching its arms and legs, bending over and twisting its hips following the humans on TV.

Ever since Xu Jie became obsessed with human sports and fitness, he has often looked like this, and Mo has gotten used to it.

It looked at the time and knew that the show would take a while to end, so Mo simply lay on the side and closed his eyes to rest.

But after a while, it heard footsteps coming towards it, opened its eyes, and found that Xu Jie was grabbing something beside him.

Finding that Mo had opened his eyes, Xu Jie showed it the cotton swabs, gauze, ear lotion and hair brushes he had brought from Mrs. Fujimoto's toolbox.

Afterwards, it opened its shiny eyes and meowed and said, "Mo, can I give you daily care?"
