The last orange cat Omega [Interstellar]

Purring is a favorite vocal activity for kittens.

Doudou purring, still surrounded by the warm and cozy feeling in the dream again.Before he knew it, he coaxed himself to sleep...

When DouDou woke up again, he found that he had returned to his room at some point, and was lying firmly on the fluffy bed.He sat up and listened carefully with his ears open. There were rustling sounds and occasional whispers coming from downstairs. It was obvious that everyone had woken up.

Realizing that he might have missed breakfast by now, the little orange cat couldn't help sighing.

Another precious meal lost!

He struggled to slide down from the bed, and jumped out the door on all fours, thinking that if he seized the time to get up, he might be able to grind the butler to give him a snack.

The little orange cat ran downstairs with its tail raised, meowing and honking a series of whistles, and rushed into the restaurant without looking at it with its head buried.He didn't pay attention to a tall person walking towards him, the little orange cat fell headlong between the man's calves, the body overlapped and fell like a cat chewing mud, with the head down and the buttocks up.

DouDou was dazed to his eyes, and looked up from the bottom in a daze.

It turned out to be Xiu Jie, a new visitor to the house.

"Hey," Doudou slightly opened his paws and greeted in a friendly way, "Hello."

Xiu Jie couldn't help laughing, leaned over to help DouDou up, and said with a smile, "Hello, why are you running so fast?"

"I'm in a hurry to eat." DouDou replied honestly, smiling embarrassedly.

"The cub is so cute." Xiu Jie sighed, and couldn't help but patted the head again.

DouDou was in a hurry to rush to the food bowl, although his head was still on the spot, coping with Xiu Jie's vigorous love from his elders, but his buttocks had already moved towards the kitchen entrance on the other side. Thin and long.

Xiu Jie saw DouDou's small thoughts and deliberately played tricks. He grabbed DouDou's arm and pulled it towards him, jokingly said, "I just like a cute kid like you. Come and talk to me."

DouDou was not happy anymore, and lifted the other front paw to rest on Xiu Jie's wrist, trying to break free awkwardly.

"But I don't like talking and talking."

Xiu Jie immediately said again: "I just went to the kitchen to order a refreshment. There are dairy products made of salsa berries and sweet fragrant fruit tea. I have everything, but I lack a partner to chat with."

DouDou immediately stopped struggling, and said seriously: "Really, it's a coincidence, I really like chatting."

Xiu Jie let go of him, laughing loudly.

DouDou got into the corner, fiddled a lot, and found a small shallow plate out of nowhere, and dragged it to Xiu Jie's feet.

Xiu Jie asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Doudou replied, "This is my food bowl."

Of course, this is just the kitty food bowl that DouDou unilaterally identified, and it is also the small food bowl that he hides behind the housekeeper's back.When eating normally, DouDou eats with normal utensils like everyone else, but for a domestic kitten with a high sense of responsibility for self-cultivation, he believes that he should have a small food bowl that is completely his own.

As we all know, cats are extremely picky little animals, and they will apply their unique aesthetics to all aspects of life, including the selection of food bowls.It was mentioned in an elective course "Aesthetics of Cat Furniture" in Cat University that when cats choose food bowls, they will evaluate and analyze them from the perspectives of smell, shape, and practical value.Kittens have a keen sense of smell, and those food bowls made of inferior materials often emit a strange smell and are of poor quality, making it unbearable for cats.Kittens naturally like to be clean and tidy, and they pursue an elegant and decent way of eating. Food bowls that are too wide, too narrow, too high, or too low may affect the kitten's ultimate dining etiquette, so we need to be cautious.

Of course, for kittens, all this careful picking is necessary.The food bowl is an important part of the kitten's eating ritual.Once they choose a favorite food bowl, this food bowl will accompany the kittens for a long time, and there will be no need to change it for a long time after that, even in their lifetime.

DouDou risked being beaten, and after three days of pawing in the kitchen, he found a treasure among many bowls and dishes of different sizes and shapes.A small porcelain plate with a wide mouth and a shallow bottom, and a moderate size, can just accommodate the entire width of the beard of a small orange cat. The texture is fine, the inner wall is smooth, and it is not easy to stain or leave odors.

Dou Dou lurked for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to smuggle the small plate from the kitchen to the restaurant, and hid it in a corner that only he knew.Whenever it was time for additional meals, he would drag out his own small food bowl and place it neatly at the butler's feet.After the meal was over, the servants cleaned the bowls, and Doudou would sneak into the kitchen again and steal the small plates.After repeating this over and over again, the housekeeper had long since given up his plan to find the "Stealer Cat".

When Xiu Jie heard this, he laughed and said, "What bowl? This is your little bowl? Why did you hide your little bowl in that place? What if it gets dusty?"

"No," the little orange cat replied solemnly, "I sneak in every now and then, and use my tail to dust the dust. My tail may be dry."

Xiu Jie couldn't even tell the difference between a small plate and a small bowl, and DouDou immediately realized that the other party was someone who couldn't share the aesthetics of cat furniture with him, so he stopped talking.

When he was young, with the help of his servants, Xiu Jie set up the dining table, served the food plate, and sat down on the small balcony outside the living room with Dou Dou, enjoying a pleasant moment of snacks.

After entering the long winter, the fire in the fireplace is constantly burning, and there is always a sweet aroma of fruit trees floating in the living room. Even on the ventilated balcony, you can feel the warmth of warmth.The outside is a dark void, nothing to see.Only the sky is streaked by a meteor shower from time to time, dotted with the ink-like sky.

Doudou stared his eyes like copper bells, and watched Xiu Jie distribute the snacks intently.Under the close supervision of such a strict little judge, Xiu Jie didn't dare to hide his secrets, so he perfectly cut a whole piece of salsa berry cream cake filled with jam, and split it into two without bias.

A piece of half-moon-shaped custard is served on the bottom of a shallow crescent-colored plate, and the thick jam flows down, with yellow pulp and white seeds, like a long river rolling eastward with waves.

Doudou buried his head, sniffed cautiously for a while before poking out the tip of his tongue, gently rolled up a little bit of dregs, swallowed it in his mouth, and swallowed.

The so-called salsa berry is a kind of berry with seeds. It tastes sweet and sour, and the white seeds are rich in layers. When chewed in the mouth, it has a unique sandy and delicate taste, a bit like fatty fish eggs.

"delicious!"

Doudou's eyes are bright, and he is full of smiles.

Xiu Jie also forked a piece into his mouth, squinted his eyes in enjoyment, and agreed, "It's really delicious."

"Yeah, you're also a gourmet." DouDou raised a forearm, opened its paws, and showed a pink plum blossom meat ball, and praised loudly.

"Where is it?" Xiu Jie was polite to him, and immediately boasted in turn, "Miao is the discerning connoisseur."

One person and one cat praised each other, and suddenly felt refreshed.

After a while, both were wiped out, leaving the plate empty.

DouDou patted his belly, belched contentedly, and then asked curiously, "Speaking of which, is this also the snack made by Uncle Housekeeper? I always feel that it is different from his previous works."

Xiu Jie also said: "I don't know what happened before. Today, when I was having breakfast in the restaurant, I vaguely heard Meli chatting with Mosha. Mosha confessed that he didn't want other housekeepers to surpass him. It has improved. It is probably the result of a lot of painstaking research."

Doudou nodded in confusion, and said, "Well, I don't know who put so much pressure on Uncle Steward. Although I think Uncle Steward's past dim sum skills need to be improved, he is already very good, and he doesn't need to fight with anyone. Compare."

Xiu Jie glanced at him, and responded perfunctorily: "That's right, I don't know who put the pressure on him. Mo Sha probably thought he was too demanding."

While they were talking, the slender figure of their subject of discussion, Mr. Butler, floated across the living room.The little orange cat quickly caught this signal, jumped off the dining table, sprinted to Mr. Butler's legs, picked up his trouser legs involuntarily, and dragged him towards the balcony.

Mr. Housekeeper didn't know why, so he followed Doudou to the balcony.

I saw DouDou jumping onto the table again, squatting on the side of the small plate, holding the fine mirror with small claws to expel phlegm, Zhu's sharp claws across the wall, making a crisp sound.

He stared at his big round eyes, which were full of hints.

The butler was stifled, blinked his eyes, and said with a straight face: "According to my observation, the young master should have accompanied our distinguished guests to have a good snack."

Hearing this, Doudou raised his paw dissatisfied, and once again slapped on the stable door and protested, "What's the matter, I'm a poor kitty who didn't have breakfast, can I have another piece of mine?" Is it a snack gift from humans?"

"Ah, are you talking about the dim sum delivered by the Hai family yesterday?"

The butler had crooked eyebrows and a charming smile on his face, but for some reason, Doudou always felt that there was a trace of coolness in the other party's smiling face.

"It's like this. After the discussion between the two generals... and my little proposal, we agreed that letting the young master eat too much sweets in a short period of time is not conducive to your growth and development. For such an inconsiderate Hai family We were also deeply troubled by the performance, so we decided to save the remaining uneaten snacks and provide the young master with a regular plan at regular intervals. What do you think, young master?"

DouDou couldn't help shrinking his neck, swallowed the yell of "I like the snacks sent by my humans" that was about to blurt out, nodded his head, and said affirmatively: "I think it's pretty good too."

Hearing this, the housekeeper smiled even more, and stroked Doudou's hairy head approvingly.

"But..." DouDou raised his paw, rubbed against his ears, and said in distress, "How long is it every once in a while? What if I want to eat something?"

If you have to wait for a long time to satisfy your cravings, it is torture for a kitten.

Doudou secretly reflected, last night, he really should have hidden some more snacks, now the housekeeper must have put away the rest of the snacks, if he wants to find them, it will not be easy.

The housekeeper didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you want to eat snacks, young master, I'll make fresh snacks for you alone. Today's milk cake is a new product developed by me. What do you think? Follow this direction and create a few more new products.”

Hearing that he could still eat dim sum, Dou Dou's heart suddenly stopped feeling so uncomfortable. Following the guidance of the butler, he thought foolishly about the feedback on the dim sum, without realizing at all that the dim sum made by the butler and the dim sum sent by the Hai family were in the same place. There is no difference in health.

Xiu Jie, who was watching from the side, only thought it was funny and laughed happily.

After receiving the affirmation and encouragement from Doudou, the gourmet cat, the housekeeper turned and left contentedly.After a while, General Reese also came to the balcony and joined the conversation between Doudou and Xiu Jie.

When DouDou saw his grandfather, he immediately sat upright, raised his head high, revealing the soft white hair under his neck.

Doudou coughed, which attracted the attention of General Reese, and then said crisply: "Grandpa, you can praise me now, don't be too reserved, I am not a kitten who will be proud and complacent casually, I can stand your praise .”

General Reese didn't know whether to laugh or cry, stretched out his big rough hands covered in thick calluses, and moved the back of Dou Dou's head vigorously, almost rubbing him off the table.

Doudou shook his head dissatisfied, jumped to the side, and began to move his paws to lick and comb his fur.

"Immodest." General Rees poked Doudou's butt and commented very rudely.

DouDou trembled from being poked, quickly changed his posture, sat down away from grandpa, threw out a snort, and hummed loudly.

Xiu Jie laughed loudly, and while wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he said to General Rees: "Your grandson is so funny, I really envy you."

General Reese also smiled helplessly, and sighed: "Such a little guy, not only does he not look like a beast in our family, but he doesn't even know who he is."

When Doudou heard the words, he immediately stuck out his tongue and exhaled slightly at General Rees.

Xiu Jie waved at Doudou, and said, "Farewell to your grandfather, he is just a smelly and hard rock. Come here, and I will praise you. Although I don't know what you have done that is worthy of praise, it must be A great event to write about."

Doudou was overjoyed, ran over quickly, patted Xiu Jie's palm lightly with the meat ball, and praised: "As expected, you are more discerning. If you still need someone to chat with you next time, it is mainly to accompany you to eat snacks Partner, you can come to me, I can spare some time for you in your busy schedule."

The two clapped their hands together, and General Reese was so angry that he gasped for breath.

"Grandpa, don't be unconvinced," the little orange cat said triumphantly, with its tail sweeping back and forth on the table, "Do you dare to say that you didn't sleep well last night? Hmph, you must have slept well, right? Otherwise, why are you lying in bed today?"

General Reese flicked DouDou's forehead with his fingers, and said in a good manner: "You think everyone is like you, and you are ashamed to pester Mosha for snacks after breakfast. I got up early and finished my business. Besides , I didn't fall asleep last night, why talk about 'beautiful'? Don't always use these inexplicable words, as the heirs of our Rees family, we can no longer be so childish."

Doudou was caught off guard, but he didn't bother to rub his forehead. He only grasped the key points of General Rees's words, stared in shock, and shouted: "Why didn't you fall asleep? I fell asleep."

Although this may sound illogical, but from Dou Dou's past—one of the few—experiences, every time he grunts to help him fall asleep, if he sleeps soundly, the healing effect must be excellent.

Last night he remembered that he fell asleep thinking hard about the images of the jaguar and the rainforest. Although he had never dreamed of the rainforest, he obviously had a good dream, and he fell asleep until he was hungry. Why didn’t grandpa raise his paws? Praise, but say that he didn't fall asleep at all?

DouDou stared straight at General Rees, as if he was carefully discerning whether the other party was lying.

General Reese met Kitty's questioning gaze calmly, and continued calmly: "Xiu Jie is not an outsider, so I'll just say it straight. You helped me sleep yesterday, and I can indeed feel a wonderful energy It is pulling me and soothing my spiritual power."

After Xiu Jie heard this, he immediately suppressed the banter on his face, sat upright, looked at General Rees, and listened carefully.

"This process is very comfortable, and I feel smoother than ever before, but my consciousness is always awake. I am very sure that I have not fallen into sleep, and I can even say that I have no sleepiness. I will wait until the fluctuation of mental power stabilizes. See you? Wake up, and carry you back to the bedroom."

"how come?"

Dou Dou subconsciously wanted to raise an objection, but after thinking about it, the housekeeper once said that General Reese's mental state was very bad, and he was forced to use drugs and willpower to suppress it so that he did not fully erupt.Maybe it's not that his little genius has failed, but that grandpa is too difficult to deal with.

The failure of the exam was not because the kitty was stupid, but because the questions were too difficult, and the teacher who wrote the questions simply wanted the kitty to die.No matter how you think about it, it's impossible for the kitten to fail.

Meow, it must be like this.

The little cat who has repeatedly withstood the test of failing exams soon regained his confidence and became full of confidence again.He lifted his butt, turned his head and jumped off the dining table, and ran towards the house while shouting: "It's okay, I'll go do some research, catch a few beasts and test it, I'm sure I can find a solution!"

The orange shadow flashed past the entrance of the corridor, and soon disappeared, leaving General Rees and Xiu Jie sitting opposite each other, looking at each other.

After a long time, Xiu Jie spoke first and said, "You grandson, it's not easy."

General Rees nodded slightly, and he didn't know whether he sighed or snickered at himself, and replied: "Even so, until the situation becomes clear, we can only humiliate his talent."

He stared at Xiu Jie with burning eyes.

Xiu Jie smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "I understand, why are you so kind all of a sudden, and invited me to Clarata Floating Island."

General Reese grinned, and said honestly: "Can there be any bad intentions, isn't the scenery of the floating island of Klerata beautiful?"

Dou Dou at the other end doesn't know what the adults are playing.The long winter is long and the night is shrouded. The scenery on the floating island of Klerata is no one to appreciate it no matter how beautiful it is.

Stepping on the sporadic lights, Dou Dou came to Peter's bedroom, opened the door, squeezed his head in through the crack of the door, and asked in a low voice, "Peter, Peter, are you happy today?"

Peter, who is "very happy today", helped Doudou arrange the next live sleep aid program with his hands and feet.The Beibei brothers did not disappoint the cat. According to DouDou's request, they quickly found suitable "half-price" volunteers, and carefully compiled the general background information of the participants into a book in advance and sent it to DouDou in advance.For the past few days, they have been waiting for Doudou's broadcast start signal.

This time, there are only 35 volunteers in the live broadcast room. Although the number is smaller than last time, the quality has obviously improved. At least on the bright side, all the beasts have a heart for this fluffy little master in front of them awe.

Among the herd, whispers.

——Is this the mysterious master Gagari mentioned?It looks so... mysterious.

——I don’t know why, although the master is tightly wrapped, I always feel that the master has a noble and... fluffy butt...

——Don't talk nonsense, show some respect to the master!

——Yes, yes, yes, just because the veterans of the Fourth Army can enjoy sleep aid treatment for free, I am grateful and will always support the master! !

——Support Master! !

——Raise your claws to support!

—Tail up!

— Raise your ears to support!

When all the orcs were having a lively discussion, Doudou coughed suddenly, which made them tremble in fright, and they all took the shape of beasts one after another.Most of these ex-warriors who retired from the legion were orcs from the wolves, bears and badgers. In an instant, the live broadcast room was filled with strong and fluffy, with their hair flying around.

Among them is a small panda beast, which is as tall as an adult human. After being startled by Dou Dou, it subconsciously raised its two front paws and spread its body like a fluffy and soft blanket. It exploded like a feather duster, his expression was shattered, his whole body was stiff, and he was shaking with fear.

Doudou stared at the little panda beast, shook his head and sighed, thinking that this fluffy must be too frightening.

Thinking of this, the little cat twisted its buttocks, bounced its limbs, attacked again, and suddenly jumped in front of the little panda Beast,

"Meow-"

Doudou made a groaning gesture to rush over, the little panda screamed in fright, fell to the ground and rolled over and over again.The mischievous little cat meowed and laughed out loud at his silly appearance.

After such a frolicking, half an hour later, the beasts settled down properly and really entered the sleep aid project.

DouDou returned to his seat with a lot of thought, sat down cross-legged in a dignified manner, and began to introduce himself.

"Hi, everyone," he said, shaking his head, "I'm the host Invincible Kitty. Of course you should be able to hear it. Invincible Kitty is my stage name, but I can't tell you my real name. Anyway, as long as you Be obedient and surrender to me, and I will take care of you and bring you delicious food and spicy food..."

The assistant rat Peter coughed hastily, reminding the anchor to pay attention to the use of standardized language.

Doudou shook his beard in dissatisfaction, and reluctantly changed his words: "In short, as long as you are obedient, I will throw out any disobedient beasts. I hardly charge you money for this project, but if you are Knowing that there are beasts secretly poking and saying bad things about me, I will let my grandpa beat you. Let me tell you, my grandpa is very powerful and has a bad temper. He has a big and sharp golden knife. Swish You can chop off your head with one blow, one head, two heads..."

Peter coughed again, and a heart-piercing cough echoed in the live broadcast room.

The little panda beast was frightened again, raised its paws high, staring at it.

Doudou withdrew his paws, sighed helplessly, and ended the lecture early, inexplicably missing his former career as a big cat.

But in any case, today's DouDou is a hard-working kitten, and he purrs very hard at the beginning.

DouDou decided to think about Mao Chun's free cat food today.As an experienced stray cat, DouDou knows that the tastes of free cat food in the eastern and western cities of Maochun are different.Humans in West City like to provide large-grain cat food, which tastes hard and full of flavor, and can be used for teeth grinding and adjustment.Dongcheng is mostly small-grained cat food with enough water, which is good in palatability, but it only has a single taste, and it tends to get greasy after eating too much. It is more suitable for elderly and weak cats with bad teeth.

Speaking of which, the seafood market is also good, there are many small dried fish...

Ah, the kitten is hungry, cooing...

——This voice is so strange, but for some reason it always feels so familiar.

——Yes, like the warm and comfortable feeling that I am in my mother's womb.

——Why does the image of the sky appear in my mind?After entering the long winter, I haven't been able to see the artificial blue sky and white clouds for a long time, and I still miss it.

—Look, it's the sun!

——I feel that the ground below me is not virtual data, but real solid ground. Is this the power of Mother Earth?

—It's strange that I should feel hungry.

Soon, the excitement was suppressed by a powerful source of natural energy, and the voices of all the orcs became lower and lower, and gradually stopped thinking, falling into a soft blank...

Afterwards, all the orcs who participated in the project received a letter from the invincible kitty master. The mail attached a visitor experience survey form, and the text of the letter was "feelings". It is the content drafted by the master himself.

——Hello, how are you feeling?I know that you must be very grateful to me now, and you also like me very much. I want to remind you not to be too enthusiastic. It is impossible for me to like your cats the same. Everyone should think about it. Not all beasts can have their own xxx (Nouns are not shown here).

In addition, although I don't accept your star coins, it's okay if you want to thank me.I heard Bakerbe say that many of you beasts live in the fringe floating islands, where there are many fun little things that don't cost money.If you can find something like fur balls, feathers, marbles, ropes, or luminous pendants, in short, such interesting items, you can send them to me as gifts.

I don't mean to ask you to give me gifts, but if you find this kind of small toy, you can send it to Hailou's house, don't ask, it's that Hailou.

Sincerely, paw

……

The next day, the Hai family in Morton Manor received a basket of feathers and marbles, all of which were worthless defective products or discarded parts.

The old butler of the Hai family had a pair of serious dark circles under his eyes, and his hands trembled slightly involuntarily—making snacks by himself for several days without sleep, the old butler obviously couldn't bear it anymore.

The old butler observed the pile of packages intently for a long time, and found nothing wrong except for the unknown meaning.

After much deliberation, the old housekeeper still ordered people to put away all the things, while he went to Hailou and reported the situation.

"Everything has been checked, there are no inappropriate items, and the origin of these packages has been traced. They all come from the floating islands on the edge, but they are all real addresses. There is no problem. Originally, gifts from ordinary people in our manor I don’t accept them at all, but I just keep receiving so many things, and the things are not valuable, I think it’s a bit strange, I need to let you know.”

The old butler presented the package list.

Hailou took it and glanced at it, his heart moved, he thought for a while, and replied: "Then accept them all, and if there are similar items in the future, they will also accept them and put them in the new warehouse."

After a moment's pause, he added: "Order it down, be careful when collecting it, don't damage or omit it."

The old housekeeper glanced at his young master in surprise.

"I'll send some dim sum over in two days," Hailou put away the list, and said again, "You don't have to do it yourself, please take the trouble to guide the people below to do it, it's best to be more dexterous, and make some cute ones Snacks to send."

The old butler subconsciously rubbed his sore arm, suppressed his curiosity forcibly, and bowed down.

The author has something to say:

One day in the future, the steward will come to inquire about the "dowry" of Doudou

Doudou: I sent so many hot toys in the past, all of them are stored in my human, what else do you need?

Melly: Didn't you say it's a good return gift?The things you returned seem to be what you like, I'm afraid you should keep them for your own use in the future

Doudou: ... I don't care, where there is such a worry-free little cat like me, I let my humans raise me, in fact, I have prepared toys, scratching boards, and cat litters in advance, it is so considerate Satisfactory, capable, who wouldn't like me

PS, I mentioned that the kitten will bury "smelly" things. In fact, the three-dimensional kitten does not necessarily dislike it. It's the same reason for burying its own poop. Another situation is that it may bury the air and soil when it encounters delicious food, which is a bit similar to "I'm full, but I don't want to waste it. Save it first." Let's eat it later", and also don't want to be discovered by other predators.

In addition, some kittens like to hide and eat, or hide cat food secretly. Most of the time, it may be due to insecurity. For example, there are other kittens at home competing for favor, the owner did not provide it with a comfortable eating environment, kittens are naturally sensitive, etc. wait.Sometimes—according to my observation—kittens and pigs that eat a lot tend to hide food, or steal food.

The specific reason why kittens bury food in the soil, of course I don’t know, the above are all my guesses, after all, I’m not a kitten (.
