Spell Meow

At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, on my way home, I met a cat lying in a pool of blood.

Even if it wasn't for the puddle of blood that snaked its way into the light, I wouldn't have realized that the lumpy thing lying in the grass was actually a cat, a black cat that's nearly invisible at night.

Cats are not part of my life plan.

At least not in the short term.

I turned on the flashlight on my mobile phone and took a photo of the unknown cat. I hesitated for a while. I wanted to persuade myself to leave directly, but my feet seemed to be nailed to the spot and I couldn’t take a step. I hesitated for a while, and finally Bypassing the pool of blood that hadn't dried up, he walked to the black cat and squatted down, reaching out and stroking him.

After a little gilt absorbs the light, it opened Yingying, and my stomach, which had almost no ups and downs, suddenly heaved heavily, and the blood that was suddenly pumped out immediately wet my palm.The black cat's ears trembled slightly, and it meowed weakly.

I closed my eyes immediately, screaming in my heart that most of the money I saved last year would go to waste.

——Then took off his coat and wrapped the big cat, searched for the nearest pet hospital, picked him up with difficulty, and trudged towards the pet hospital with difficulty.

There was a lot of blood left on the road, and the nurse who opened the door for me looked at me like a murderer or a cat killer. Even I was covered in blood, like a perverted killer who just returned from killing and abandoning the corpse.

But fortunately, the doctor is a doctor who has seen the big world, and without a word, he carried the cat into the gold cave, no, the operating room, and immediately after the operation, the red light turned on.

I sat in the family area like an idiot, and I finally began to savor the bitterness of the hard work of saving money for social animals that disappeared once a year.

Forget it...

Thinking of the big cat that seemed to have lost half of its body and its black fur was crumpled with blood, I finally sighed, leaned back and closed my eyes, originally wanting to relieve the sleepiness of working overtime all day long. , but unknowingly fell asleep under the heating air conditioner in the pet hospital.

After waking up, I became the new owner of this big black cat that was still in critical condition.

"Why is your hospital so efficient?" I complained and signed the bill.

"It's also to prevent people from abandoning cats and fleeing orders." The doctor who had no emotion told me so.

"Let's put it in the hospital for observation in the next few days. Whether such a serious injury can survive or not depends on fate. But since it lasted until you brought him, it should not be fatal."

The doctor took away my signed documents and bills, and took me to see the cat after the operation.

"Do doctors believe in fate?" I was still a little dazed, and I followed his footsteps and said casually.

"Being a doctor is more trustworthy..." The doctor said, "Otherwise, I won't even be able to comfort myself. By the way, give him more high-protein foods to supplement his nutrition during the recovery period, such as beef, chicken, fish and so on. This one The cat is quite strong, and if it can get over it, it will probably recover fairly quickly."

I saw the black cat covered in bandages. A cat took up most of the space in the cage. Compared with the coquettish Jinjila next to it, it was as huge as a creature that should not appear in human cities. .

"Let me just ask..." I said, "Isn't this a wild cat? If I adopted it, wouldn't I be arrested by the police for illegally raising protected animals?"

The doctor applauded me perfunctorily for my spirit of being prepared for a rainy day: "Although it looks a bit big, it is undoubtedly a normal cat. The size is probably because my parents were big cats, and this size will not break Human perception of cat size.

By the way, you are a novice, right?There are still a lot of things to prepare for cats. Our hospital basically has everything. Do we need to buy them together?Also save the cats in a hurry after being discharged from the hospital. "

"I don't need this..." I said, "I have already prepared the most cost-effective cat supplies strategy for the cat raising plan in ten years, at least it is not in my plan manual to buy from pet hospitals."

I saw an obvious expression of regret on this emotionless doctor.

Why are you being so straightforward! !

I originally planned to submit the application for time off after working overtime for a week, but I temporarily postponed it because of the high hospitalization fee and empty wallet.

The effect of the anesthetic has not yet passed, and the black cat in the cage only has a slight ups and downs of its belly, indicating that it is indeed still alive.

After asking the doctor's permission, I put my fingers in through the gap in the cage, touched the oily down on his head, and lightly touched his thin cat ears covered with down.

He was as motionless as a stuffed toy in a cage.

"Get better soon..." I said softly, "I've lived to this point... just work harder."

He seemed to have opened his eyes, but the light was too dark for me to see clearly, and he was still motionless, so I thought it might be the reflection of the cage, and rubbed the tips of his ears to feel the oily light of the big cat. The slippery fur, then slowly withdrew his hand.

The doctor didn't speak at this time, and took me out after the visiting time was up, and took out a black collar that had been cut off and handed it to me.

"It was taken from his neck..." he said, "It should be a stray cat from a domestic cat. Judging from this collar, it has been a stray cat for at least many years, so it should be no problem to go through the adoption procedures. The name tag says There is only one name, looking at the cat's paw print on it, it probably is the name of the cat."

I wrapped the blood-stained collar with a handkerchief and wiped off the blood scabs on the dull name tag. The name on it was also a little blurry, and the last name on the front seemed to have been altered, after the groove was filled with blood It's not clear, but the name behind it is still clearly visible.

"Shier... Shier should be the name, right?"

While muttering, I wrapped up the collar and put it in my pocket, planning to wash the collar when the time comes to see if it can be cleaned.

In case the cat still likes the collar, keep wearing it.

It was only when I touched the pocket that I realized that the white shirt on my body was also soaked in blood. If I stuck it to my body and went out in the middle of the night, I would definitely scare the drunkard who passed out on the side of the road to death. Maybe the neighbors would call the police if they returned to the apartment.

"The jacket...forget it, put it on for the cat, it won't work anyway..." I lamented that the suit jacket I spent half a month's salary on was scrapped, but I still cheered up. Contact me, I will come to see him tomorrow. I will leave at this point, and I have to go to work tomorrow morning."

"It's really pitiful, Ms. Tianyuan..." The doctor who is also a social animal showed empathetic compassion, "I will help you pay attention-do you need a white coat by the way? I can rent it to you."

"No need..." I ruthlessly rejected the additional money expenditure, "If it costs money, I would rather be called to the police station by my neighbor to make a statement."

"I've spent so much money, I'm unexpectedly stingy now."

"I can clearly distinguish between the necessary and the irrelevant. In short, I'll leave it to you, doctor."

"I'll do my best. Go back and be safe at night, Miss Tianyuan."

I left the pet hospital while talking, and finally took the doctor's free white coat to wrap around my body, trying not to look like a late-night murderer.

While walking home, I’ve placed an order on Amazon for cat supplies that I’ve already added to my cart, but should have been at least five years away.Looking at the sudden shrinkage of the previous year's savings, my painful gums began to ache.

——No, wait, the gums are really hurting.

Get angry because you work too much overtime? !

I sighed in my heart, thinking that this is some kind of script of house leaks and rain all night, I pressed the tip of my tongue against my swollen gums, bought the last bag full of cat litter and hurried home to give myself I poured a large cup of chrysanthemum tea and put it on the fire.

If I get sick again, the three-year savings will be used up!

I took the time to wash up before twelve o'clock. When I came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, I looked at the spacious and empty living room, and I was already thinking about where the cat climbing frame should be placed.

Forget it, wait until the salary is paid.

I thought so.

And do you really want to adopt it... Sure enough, we should announce the adoption news.

Thinking of the cat, I hesitated again.

Although I did think about getting a cat to keep me company, I never thought about it at this time.

My ideal state of raising cats should be to choose a beloved kitten after I live independently and buy a house to live alone, and then arrange the little one’s living utensils at home little by little before the kitten grows to three months. Then An Ran took it home in a soothing manner, adding a brand new family member to the home in a flat and silky way.

——Anyway, it will never be such a chaotic situation.

But thinking that the cat was injured like this, it would take a lot of time to recover. After much deliberation, I finally decided to keep him for a while.

Even if you want to adopt it, you can't hand over such a seriously injured cat to others for adoption. It's too irresponsible to kind people.

Let's take care of it until the injury recovers... I hope it won't cost too much medical expenses.

As I was thinking this way, I fell asleep in a second in the complicated mood of having another cat mouth soon.

I had a very long dream at night. For a while, I dreamed that there was an extra cat in my house, and the cat gave me a decoration plan worth at least [-] yuan. , I just said, "I am the FBI. You have been arrested for smuggling protected animals. This is your arrest warrant. If you see it clearly, come with us." Then they handcuffed me and sent me to the bureau; after a while The doctor's white coat was dripping red, and he came out of the operating room with a solemn expression, took a deep look at me and told me that he was hopeless and died. He tried his best, but he was seriously injured. If I Wanted to go in and see him one last time.

Such a mess of dreams kept me from sleeping well all night. I suddenly realized that the sky outside had suddenly broken, and then I suddenly woke up. I was so painful that I realized that I had been half asleep and half asleep all night.

And I have to go to work today.

I can already see myself falling asleep in the company, looking at my blank face on the computer screen, or just sitting in front of the computer and falling asleep with my eyes open.

Thinking of this, I was completely awake.

It's better to enter the ICU with the cat last night, so I don't have to go to work today anyway.
