A Beginner's Guide to Cat Ownership

Yitong didn't expect her biscuits to be so popular, and it was the first time she knew that there were so many people living in this long alley. After two days, the whole cat was exhausted and paralyzed, and even the little briquettes looked thinner. A little bit, it was a surprise.

The ingredients are all used up, and the delivery order ordered online has not yet arrived. Yitong has a free night, making two strawberry yogurts, and sitting on the cat climbing frame in the yard with the small coal balls, eating and watching the stars.

There are a few more cat climbing frames in the yard, and it seems less empty. The two small ones have been assembled by Yitong, and the two big ones are too complicated. Yitong plans to clean them up later. scattered on the ground.

At this time, the night is as cool as water, with a gentle breeze, the bright moon hangs high, and the ground is full of brilliance. The surroundings are quiet, with neither cicadas singing nor human voices. It is a wonderful resort for enjoying the cool air.

"It's so windy here, it will be very comfortable in summer." Yitong turned into her original form, looked up at the sky and chatted with the little briquettes, there was still more than half of the yogurt in the bowl, "It's space, if only I could grow some flowers, honeysuckle, jasmine , sweet-scented osmanthus, from spring to autumn, is fragrant inside and out."

After licking it, the little coal ball responded vaguely: "Miwu."

"There is nothing in the backyard, you can grow a la carte, and you can be self-sufficient in whatever you want to eat."

"Wow."

"When brother Yanxi comes back, ask him, if possible, I'll go buy some seeds."

"Woooo."

However, the little coal ball didn't listen to what he said. He licked the yogurt in his bowl seriously, and it seemed that he didn't need to wash it. It's a waste to eat.

Yitong noticed his pitiful eyes, and moved her bowl to the side vigilantly: "What do you want? I have divided them all."

But the other party's eyes were full of tears, and his round eyes were full of begging, the hair on Yitong's body was about to stand on end, he sighed, and had to turn sideways to him: "Forget it, let's eat."

Small briquettes: "^O^/"

He meowed a few times happily, rubbed his head against Yitong's chin flatteringly, and confidently took his yogurt bowl.

Yitong stepped aside and jumped off the cat climbing frame. When she was sharpening her claws on the scratching board, she heard the sound of the door opening. She turned her head and saw Yanxi walking in.

Counting it was two or three days since I saw him, Yitong was very happy, and quickly ran to him and raised her head and asked, "You're back!"

Seeing Xiaobai greet him so warmly and proactively, Yanxi was in a better mood, his face was still very calm, and he only let out an "um".

It must be because I have been outside these two days, Xiaobai must have not had time to give it to myself, there must be small biscuits prepared for him in the kitchen.

When the little coal ball heard the movement, it only raised its head and meowed twice to welcome him back, and then continued to lick it bitterly.

Yanxi followed the voice, noticed two snack bowls placed together, and asked, "What are those?"

Yitong said: "It's yogurt." He wanted to ask Yanxi if he wanted some, but he only prepared two servings, so he didn't ask.

Moreover, he had never seen Yanxi eat before. When he made breakfast for the first time, he made three servings and put Yanxi's share on the dining table in the living room on the second floor. But he didn't see him moving a bit, and in the end, the little coal ball kindly resolved it.

So he hesitated, there were two bags of biscuits left in the refrigerator, should I give them to Yanxi, if he was rejected, he would be very sad.

Sure enough, Yanxi just asked a question and didn't have anything to say. He went straight to the house, and Yitong trotted after him and asked, "Are you looking for those monsters that were sold?"

"Ah."

"Have you found them all?"

"Ah."

"That's great!"

"Ah."

Seeing that a person and a cat came into the house talking, the little coal ball licked the bowl clean, and barked at their backs a few times, hoping that someone would come to collect the bowl, but neither of them heard, so he had no choice but to resign themselves to his fate. Take the bowls back to the kitchen one by one.

Until they went back to their respective rooms on the second floor, the two of them had nothing else to say, Yitong couldn't help being a little disappointed, he was very grateful to Yanxi, and wanted to get close to him, no matter how early he became independent, he was still a juvenile kitten. I am very eager to rely on my parents and play like a baby with them.

It's a pity that the parents didn't want to talk to him.

Maybe he just saw that no one wanted him, so he fulfilled the responsibility of adopting minors, Yitong thought without hesitation.

After he returned to the house, the little briquettes also came in. Mimi bit his trouser legs and went to the kitchen to remind him that the dishes hadn't been washed. After watching him wash the dishes, the little briquettes went back to the house. He has his own small room, full of toys and cat climbing frames and cat scratching posts, so he can run wild in the middle of the night without anyone scolding him.

After Yitong cleaned up everything, he went back to the room and turned on his mobile phone. This is the most commonly used tool that integrates functions such as communication and payment. He must be proficient in using it as soon as possible.

As soon as he opened it, he found that someone had sent him a WeChat message. He was very pleasantly surprised because he only added two people, one was Yanxi and the other was Yuefu.

It's a pity that it was Yuefu who came: "Little Bai, the biscuits are delicious, thank you."

Yitong was naturally very happy when his things were liked, and immediately sent a message back to the other party, but he was still unfamiliar with typing, so he replied very slowly: "No need to thank sister Yuefu, I will bring it to you next time."

Yuefu posted a frightened emoji: "Although I really want it, but for my own sake, I'd better forget it."

Yitong asked strangely: "Why? Will you get food poisoning if you eat this? Is there any taboo? I won't let it go next time."

Yuefu: "Hahahahaha, it's not food poisoning, it's because someone cheated you into two bags of biscuits today, and you were targeted. The consequences would be disastrous."

She told Yitong what happened today, she said she was afraid, but she didn't mean to be afraid at all, even through the screen Yitong could feel her happy mood of watching the excitement.

"Has Yanxi not received the biscuits yet? He must be angry. You should hurry up and prepare a few bags for him. Otherwise, when he comes, the atmosphere in our office will be as cold as hell, and everyone will not talk." Dare to speak." Yuefu said, "Small biscuits are not enough, will you make anything else? Cream cake or something? I guess you have to prepare something unique for him to coax him well. Come on, kitty, the happiness of the people depends entirely on you!"

Yitong was stunned, imagining that scene repeatedly, and was very excited after recollection: "Really? So he wanted it very much? Then I will bake him a cake tomorrow!"

Yuefu: "Things are not important, what is important is the heart of the kitten. Think about it, others have received gifts from their own cats, but he, as a parent, has not. How sad."

Yitong said: "I thought he didn't like me, it was only because of his responsibility that he adopted minors."

Yuefu: "How could that be! He really likes you, wait until I send you something."

After 1 minute, Yuefu posted a post in the forum of the firm's app.

Although the app is a real-name system, but everyone uses the screen name, no one will use the real name, except for the owner of the post.

Title: "Newbie just got two kittens, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Posted by: Yan Xi

Subject: "A little white cat, a little black cat, only a few months old, today I took the older cat to go shopping, he seemed unhappy, and wanted to ask what cats really need?"

The people in this forum are all abnormal humans. There are very few people who have raised black and white cats at the same time recently. Even if the person who posted the post did not write their name, it is tantamount to clear code.

At the beginning, everyone was very restrained, and asked cautiously: "Excuse me, do you raise a cat demon?"

Yanxi: "Yes."

"You can treat it as normal to raise a child. Prepare basic items such as toys, cat climbing frames, and cat scratching posts. There is no taboo about eating cat demons. Just eat the same ones as you. One of your cat demons has already turned into a cat." It’s much easier to take care of yourself and take care of yourself.”

Yanxi: "Then why is he unhappy when you take him shopping?"

"Maomao is a very timid and withdrawn creature. He is afraid of crowded and noisy places. It may scare him. You have to give him enough space and time for him to adapt."

There was no reply from Yanxi after that, but he was followed by tens of thousands of posts, all of which were from the onlookers.

Yuefu thought: "This is the first time he has spoken on the Internet. If he doesn't like you, why would he break the convention and ask specifically? You must know that he has lived in the heaven with his blood since he was a child, and he has been discriminated against everywhere. There are people who can communicate with him, so he is very bad at communicating with people, he just can't express it, but he still likes you very much in his heart."

It turned out to be like this, Yitong was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep, she rolled around on the bed with her mobile phone in her arms, and when she was tired, she registered a forum account for herself, and secretly followed the trend to make a card, and after replying to the post, she did something earth-shattering He covered his face in the quilt for fear of being caught, so he fell asleep without knowing it.

In the dead of night, the lights in the house were turned off, and the kitchen door was opened silently.

The sweet smell of biscuits still lingers in the kitchen, but I searched all over and couldn't find the finished product.

None, not a single piece.

Not even the yogurt that the little briquettes ate at night.

He is the only parent in the world who doesn't have one.

He even came back late on purpose to give the kitten time to bake cookies.

It's a pity that he forgot that there is another kind of electrical appliance called a refrigerator, and the refrigerator is placed in the living room.

***

Yitong slept soundly, but woke up in the morning feeling stuffy. After all, she slept all night covered with a quilt, so she ran to the balcony and opened the curtains and windows to let in the fresh morning air and wind. She took a deep breath, Then turned into the original shape and started parkour, running from the second floor to the first floor for a circle, and then running up the second floor for a circle of the corridor, repeating this five or six times, and finally sharpening the claws on the cat scratching board in the living room, this is the end of the morning exercise .

The little briquette also came out when he heard the movement, and followed him to sharpen his claws with his eyes closed. Yitong tested the sound insulation effect of the room very well, so he did this noisy exercise in the living room.

After sharpening her claws, Yitong found that the kitchen door was open, so she asked the little briquette, "Did you sneak into the kitchen last night to eat?"

Little Coal Ball didn't remember this at all, but he was the only one in the family who could do such a thing, so even he was stunned, stopped grinding his claws and sat on the ground blankly, and began to wonder if he was sleepwalking in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, Yitong was uncharacteristically, and did not scold him, but said generously: "What do you want to eat, tell brother, brother is going to buy vegetables today."

The little briquettes were so shocked that their eyes widened, and they nervously sniffed around their brother to make sure that he hadn't been dropped.

There was the sound of the door opening again, Yitong pricked up her ears, happily ran to Yanxi's side, and circled around him, wagging her little tail happily and purring happily, the two fluffy The front paws were on Yanxi's leg, scratching Yanxi very itchy.

A newborn kitten is most eager to be petted.

In the past, when he was homeless, no one would come to pet him for ten days and a half months. Now that he has parents, he doesn't have to worry about no one petting him.

Yitong's big eyes were full of anticipation.

Yanxi seemed to understand what he meant, squatted down, and put his arms casually on his knees. Yitong immediately turned to his hands, raised his head and rubbed his hands desperately with his small head. Yanxi's hands are big, so he can definitely Follow his back all the way to the tail, without missing every part, what a fairy-tale feeling it would be.

Thinking of this, the little white cat's tail wagged even more happily.

However, Yanxi didn't take any action, but stared at him thoughtfully, Yitong rubbed his head for a long time but didn't get the full body massage he wanted, so he couldn't help but look up at him suspiciously.

Yanxi asked: "Are you itchy?"

This, it’s not really itchy, it’s just that it’s very comfortable to be petted. Both big and small cats like it very much. It’s like a small briquette. He needs to be petted several times a day in human form.

Yitong was a little embarrassed and said: "Forget it, let's do it..."

Yanxi understood, left a sentence of "wait", turned and entered the room.

Is it to take gloves?Gloves are far less comfortable to touch directly with hands, and they are completely useless to humans. Could it be that Yanxi suspects that he is shedding hair?

Before he had time to think too much, he saw Yanxi coming out of the room, holding a strange thing in his hand. He broke off the head of the thing, then brushed the hair on the back of his neck, and dripped the liquid inside. on him.

The back of her neck was icy cold, Yitong was frightened, but she resisted not moving, and could only ask aggrievedly: "Brother Yanxi, what is this?"

Yanxi said: "Anthelmintics." He has watched the instructional video of anthelmintics dozens of times, and he is absolutely right to use it this time.

Yitong was stunned, jumped three feet high, and asked in disbelief: "You gave me insect repellent? Do you suspect that I have insects on me?!"

Yan Xi said: "Your body is itchy, isn't it caused by insects?"

Yitong's voice trembled: "You, you, you, you think I have worms? I am, I am..." The voice was full of grievances, even a little crying, but after a long time, he gave up explaining and was angry Zhao Yanxi yelled, "I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Yan Xi was also stunned, not understanding why he was suddenly angry.

Seeing the two of them quarreling, the little coal ball rolled on the ground happily.

Yitong quickly ran into the room and closed the door with a "bang".

Yanxi was stunned for a while, then squatted down and asked the little coal ball, who was out of breath, "What's wrong with him?"

Little coal ball: "Meow meow." Think for yourself.

Yanxi: "?"

The door opened again, and Yitong came out in human form, her eyes were slightly red, but she looked extremely calm.

"Meow meow meow meow~" The little coal ball ran over obediently and acted like a baby.

Yitong took out two bags of small biscuits from the refrigerator, knelt down and touched the little black cat's head, and fed them one by one to the little briquettes in front of Yanxi.

The little briquette happily ate the biscuits, and while Yitong was unpacking the second bag, he turned his head secretly and winked his left eye at Yanxi, silently conveying a message: It was originally reserved for you.
