Strange Life of a Cat

The tabby cat was left alone in the East District compound.

When Zheng Tan sent Xiaoyouzi to school early in the morning, he saw the guy squatting beside the flower bed, facing Building B.

Yesterday, this cat followed Er Mao to deal with follow-up matters. It was probably that when Er Mao came back, he was forcibly rejected by Er Mao. So he changed his strategy and squatted at the door of the building to block people.

Just like when Li Yuanba found his owner, this dog should also have a similar plan, and then come to the door on his own.

When he saw Zheng Tan and Xiao Youzi, the cat just glanced at them with half-open eyes, and then continued to squint and take a nap. With his ears propped up, he opened his eyes and looked over there as soon as he heard the "click" sound of the door control.

Although he didn't know why this cat relied on Er Mao, Zheng Tan felt that it would be difficult for Er Mao to adopt a cat. Just like what Ermao said when he saw Zheng Tan and the others squatting in a tree, "Cats are all a bunch of idiots." It can be seen that this person still has deep opinions on cats.

There was no sunshine today and it was gloomy. It was impossible for Zheng Tan to stay in one place and bask in the sun. He ran outside for a walk. He originally planned to play for a while, but a light rain suddenly started falling in the sky, so he hurried back to the compound. When I saw the cat still squatting in the same place, its ears were shaking because of the raindrops falling on it.

The weather forecast yesterday said it would be cloudy today and there would be light rain tomorrow, but now it starts to rain. As expected, the weather forecast can only be viewed in real time. Look at the sky, the rain is inevitable.

If it rains, Zheng Tan doesn't have to pick up Xiaoyouzi at noon. He can just wait for the meal at home. This is what he did on rainy days in the past.

When he climbed to the third floor, Zheng Tan listened at Ermao's door. There were voices inside, probably on the phone. If this guy had already gotten up, he would have gone out to buy breakfast. It was impossible not to know that the tabby cat was squatting outside. .

Forget it, whether to adopt or not is Ermao's own business, and Zheng Tan can't help him make the decision. In this regard, Zheng Tan can't help the tabby cat. Who made that tabby cat fall in love with this guy?

After returning home, Zheng Tan rarely turned on the computer to surf the Internet. Instead, he lay at the door of his bedroom and watched the rain falling more and more heavily outside.

There was a rustling sound from diagonally below. Zheng Tan looked over and saw that the cheap bird was sticking its beak out of the iron mesh to catch the rainwater. It wasn't because he was thirsty. From Zheng Tan's understanding of it, this bird was just for fun. After one winter, Zheng Tan felt that the bird's character had become even worse, because it could not only sing old songs, but also occasionally recite a few lines with "emotional" poetry. It is said that its owner took him to Hope Primary School. I learned it from the children there. Another thing that troubled Zheng Tan was that this bird seemed to have learned to curse. I don't know who it learned it from. I can only say that this bird has a very strong understanding.

Zheng Tan was lying at the door of the room looking out at the balcony that had been soaked by the rain. Just now, when the parrot wasn't paying attention, Zheng Tan poked his head in. He didn't find the cat in the flower bed below. He probably went to hide from the rain.

In Chuhua City, at this time of year, the temperature basically rises every time it rains. When the rain stops, the temperature will rise again.

Unlike Zheng Tan who was calm, Er Mao seemed much more irritable.

He didn't want to listen to the song anymore, so he took off his headphones and looked at the rain outside in a daze. The door leading to the balcony was open, and the wind blowing in brought the moisture from outside, making people feel the slightest chill.

Ermao lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly. I just made a phone call and I was not in a good mood, and then I thought about the tabby cat, which made me even more annoyed.

But just at this time, a slightly hoarse and ups and downs voice came from outside.

“Spring rain is as precious as oil, and it flows all over the streets——”

Ermao: "..."

Paralyzed, what lunatic is reciting poetry!

But Er Mao was too lazy to see who it was. After smoking half of the cigarette, he threw it into the ashtray and went out with a folding umbrella.

Zheng Tan was lying on his stomach looking at the rain scene when he suddenly heard the door lock click downstairs. He came to the balcony and stretched his neck to take a look. Although he couldn't see his head, Zheng Tan knew the pants.

What are you doing out there?

An hour later, the rain basically stopped, with only a few scattered raindrops floating, and many people stopped holding umbrellas. Zheng Tan looked at the concrete path in front of the building. At this time, the attached elementary school had finished class. Zheng Tan was waiting for Xiao Youzi and Jiao Wei to bring back food. Without thinking, he saw Er Mao first, and the tabby cat was following behind Er Mao. !

The tabby cat was a little wet, and there were some black mud stains on its four legs, but it seemed to be in good spirits. The most important thing is that when Ermao entered the building, the cat followed him.

Are you ready to raise it?

Zheng Tan was curious, Er Mao actually brought the cat back. Doesn't he like cats? What a contradiction.

After Er Mao brought the cat back, he looked at the cat squatting on the ground eating a box lunch and scratched his head in annoyance. What are you bringing here for? How to raise it? Are you raising a cat when you can’t even take care of yourself? It is estimated that this cat will become wilted after a few days.

Alas, it harms people and cats.

It's all caused by impulse.

The paper boxes that were soaked by the rain, the disposable paper boxes containing leftovers were also soaked in water, and a few fish bones on the ground that were bleached by the sun were slowly washed down by the water flowing down the slope... Think about it. At that time, Er Mao didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw the eyes of the cat hiding in the wet cardboard box and looking at him, he asked the cat to follow him. It was just a test. He originally thought that the cat would not I ignored it and ignored it. Unexpectedly, the cat actually followed me and followed me all the way.

The previous landlord didn't say that pets were not allowed. Besides, there were many pets in the compound, so there was no need to worry about this. Ermao thought to himself. This tabby cat is not as smart as the black cat upstairs. It is too smart to make people feel uncomfortable. At the same time, this tabby cat is not too stupid, which can make people worry less.

If you think about it this way, it's not bad. Anyway, I'm bored now, so I'll keep it first. This cat is probably just a whim. If it wants to leave after a while, just open the door and let it go. For now... let's leave it like that.

Now that he has decided to raise one, Ermao still has to face many problems. Looking at the stains on the cat's body, Er Mao frowned.

Really unable to think of a good solution, Er Mao decided to go upstairs and ask the people on the fifth floor how they usually raised cats. At this time, the little girl and the student named Jiao Wei should be there.

Zheng Tan was eating when Er Mao came over.

When asked about cat food, Jiao Wei didn't quite understand, so Xiao Youzi answered it. He didn't say much, just one sentence, but it was simple and clear, and it directly solved Er Mao's question.

Xiaoyouzi suggested that Ermao go to the "Ming Ming Su Su" pet center. There are dedicated instructors and various related items for sale, and they can also help bathe the pets.

After getting the solution, Er Mao immediately took the newly fed tabby cat to Xiao Guo's place.

When he arrived at the place, Ermao realized that there was more to do than he thought. All the vaccinations, deworming and other issues had to be dealt with. Ermao didn't know anything about it, so he left it all to the veterinarians and staff there. He just had to pay.

A staff member took the registration book and recorded, "Name?"

"Wang Ming." Er Mao played with his phone boredly without looking up.

The little girl in charge of registration looked at Er Mao strangely, "Does your cat still have a surname?"

"Huh? Are you asking for the cat's name?"

"Of course, sir, didn't you just sign your name?"

"The cat's name..." Ermao was silent for two seconds, thinking of the black pattern on the cat's nose that looked like rice grains, and said, "Black rice, its name is Black rice."

"What's your age?" the little girl asked again.

"I don't know either. I just adopted him today." Er Mao shrugged.

The little girl in charge of registration showed her dimples and said, "Sir, you are so caring!"

Er Mao: "...Haha." It's the first time someone says you are loving, why do you feel so awkward?

The little girl is very enthusiastic. Of course, while answering Ermao's questions, she also sells products from her pet center, such as cat climbing frames, cat scratching posts, cat toys, cat food, etc.

Er Mao took a product catalog handed over by the little girl and flipped through it. After taking a liking to it, he went to see the actual product later. Renting a house is just a big place, you don't need to buy anything big, just make it as simple as possible. However, he has to buy cat food so that he doesn't have to worry about it anymore. He can't make cat food in the kitchen.

After flipping through the pages, Er Mao suddenly paused at an advertisement on a page introducing cat food. He seemed unsure. He took a closer look at it, and then read a line of small words next to it.

"Black C?"

The little girl started to introduce with a smile on her face: "This is a star cat in our pet center. The cat model hired by our boss with a high salary has appeared in many pet magazines, oh, there are also some in some online forums, and there are many more Where are the BC fans?”

BC fans? Still a cat model? ! Damn it, do you think I can’t recognize you if you choose a high-end and foreign-style English name? ! This is obviously the guy upstairs!

Although Er Mao has always said that he hates cats, his ability to recognize cats is really good. Even if he is not sure at first glance, after looking at the next few pictures, Er Mao has already equated the cat in the picture with the guy upstairs. .

After curling his lips and flipping through a few more pages, Er Mao discovered that the black cat in the advertisement picture was more than twice as expensive as other categories of cat food! Some even turned it over several times.

This amount of money is really nothing to Er Mao, but Er Mao is just wondering, why are the categories advertised by this black cat so expensive? !

Er Mao pointed to the serious black cat face on the advertisement picture and asked the little girl his doubts.

The little girl answered very professionally, "Because these categories are very quality-guaranteed and will be exported abroad soon."

exit? Give me a break!

Ermao didn't believe it at all.

However, when I flipped through the prices of the cat food with BlackC advertising images at the back, Ermao touched his chin, it seemed that those items were very valuable!

"Can you deliver goods here?"

"Large items or items reaching a certain amount can be delivered to your door. Our pet center's service will definitely put your mind at ease."

This is directly changed to "you".

Anyway, he was not short of money, so Er Mao checked several types of cat food advertised by the guy upstairs, as well as the cat nests and scratching posts that he had chosen earlier.

"Are these okay?"

"Okay!" The little girl smiled even bigger. If they succeed in selling, they won't get any commission, but they will have bonus points and they will get bonuses when they settle their wages every month.

"Don't you need to try it?" the little girl asked.

"No, if my cat hates it and won't eat it, I'll throw it to BlackC and let him eat it all in front of me!" Er Mao snorted. How dare he not eat the advertisement made by that guy? !

The little girl thought Er Mao was joking, so she asked a few questions, filled out a form for E Mao to check, handed it to the picker, and then continued to register the next customer.

Er Mao was sitting bored when he saw several cat food advertisements on the shelf next to him. One of them had the face of the black cat. Er Mao took out the advertisement, folded it and put it in his pocket. This is all evidence.
