Strange Life of a Cat

In the first week after returning to the compound in the Eastern District, Zheng Tan never went out.

After the National Day holiday, Jiao Wei and his class also started. At noon, after Jiao Wei picked up Xiaoyouzi and went to the small restaurant for lunch, he brought a copy back to Zheng Tan.

After the holiday, when Jiao Wei saw Zheng Tan, he didn't know what to say. If it was an ordinary cat, he might still smile, but facing this black cat, he couldn't laugh, and he didn't dare to laugh carelessly.

Before, he didn't believe how capable a cat could be, but now, Jiao Wei was shaken. In October, no one came to his small restaurant to ask for "sanitation fees" and the like, and no one came to find fault. His father said that it might be because the time was not up, but Jiao Wei felt that it was not the reason, especially after going to "Night Tower".

Opening the door, putting the lunch box on the chair, the black cat lying on the sofa yawned lazily, stretched, and then began to eat his lunch.

The cat's beard grew a little after this week, which is better than when it was just cut, but Zheng Tan still thinks it grows too slowly. According to this speed, it will take more than a week before people can barely see it. Truly the same as the original, lasts longer.

However, after this beard cutting incident, Zheng Tan felt that the sensitivity of the grown beard was much better than before. I don't know if it was because of his deliberate training during this period of time.

After returning home, Zheng Tan would flip through the magazines Papa Jiao subscribed to when he was bored alone at home. Once he happened to see an article in a magazine that wasn’t very formal. The general idea was this:

Some scientists have done such an experiment: After they blindfolded cats and raised them for a period of time, compared with normal cats that were not blindfolded, the former had more whiskers, and the average length of whiskers was also longer than that of normal cats. 5mm longer.

So some people jokingly say that to make a cat with its beard cut recover faster, you can blindfold it.

Zheng Tan didn't want to cover his eyes, but after thinking about it carefully, he thought he could give it a try. Sometimes at home, Zheng Tan would close his eyes and judge what was happening around him and some objects he came into contact with through the touch of his beard.

The article also said that in the dark, cats' whiskers have a very sensitive and rapid tactile function, and cats can use it to identify invisible things.

Zheng Tan tried it, but he didn't know if it was because he was too dull or because his beard didn't grow well, but it wasn't as useful as the article said. However, none of these made Zheng Tan give up trying.

As a cat with only a half beard, a cat that can only hide at home to entertain itself, this is the fun he finally found after being bored.

Anyway, there is no one at home most of the time during the day, so Zheng Tan can try it out with confidence. Even if it's ugly, no one will see it.

For example, in the afternoon, after the lunch break, Jiao Wei sent Xiaoyouzi to school, and he also went to class, or went to the library for self-study, Zheng Tan jumped off the sofa, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize his senses to the greatest extent to feel the surrounding Things and feelings evoked by some slight movements.

The wind was blowing in from the balcony, and Zheng Tan was able to judge the approximate obstacles ahead from the surrounding airflow.

Apart from the beard, Zheng Tan also felt that there were some special places on the front paws. Some vibrations on the ground can be felt through the tentacles on the front paws. Zheng Tan didn't pay attention before, but now it seems that cats are so alert, and a little movement can make them react quickly, not just because of experience, but more Or some functions that they evolved themselves.

Zheng Tan now hopes to make more use of these unearthed functions, so that they can also come in handy when he goes out in the future.

After cutting off his beard, Zheng Tan's advertisements on Xiao Guo's side also stopped, and Xiao Guo called every few days to inquire about the situation, more urgent than Zheng Tan.

But it’s impossible to shoot a cat with a crippled beard in an advertisement, right? That still makes people laugh, and even some people with ulterior motives may link the beard matter to cat food. There are always people in the world who seize the opportunity to put shit on you. Therefore, Xiao Guo has to endure even if he is in a hurry.

For this reason, Xiao Guo also asked many people to find the "secret recipe" to make cats grow beards quickly. Zheng Tan ignored him. He just figured out the beard game and didn't want to try other uncertain methods. Instead, let the whole beard fall off, it's still a joke, it's useless to hit the wall.

Every morning when Zheng Tan wakes up, the first thing he does is touch his beard twice, and then take a picture in the mirror, and Xiaoyouzi will measure Zheng Tan every day, every beard is recorded, and Xiaoyuzi uses a special book It is recorded that everyone is very pleased to see the increase in the above value. It's one thing to know a cat's whiskers will grow, it's quite another to actually see and be sure it's growing. Once you're sure, don't worry too much.

After playing the beard game, Zheng Tan came to the balcony, leaning on the pot of orchid grass, squinting his eyes to bask in the sun.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of claws trampling on the iron net sounded.

Zheng Tan moved his ears, but ignored it.

Many people go out during the National Day holiday, but "General" is not at home. There are too many people traveling on October 1st, but his owner does not. Instead, he brings "General" back to school. However, counting, the "general" spends most of the year outside playing, wandering around various nature reserves, anyway, they don't need money to play.

Seeing that Zheng Tan ignored it, the general paused for a while.

But Zheng Tan didn't squint for a long time before he heard the lowly voice that had disappeared for a long time from the balcony on the fourth floor below.

"Why are the flowers so red ~ why are they so red~ hey, it's so red~ it's so red like a burning fire~~"

Red you uncle ah!

Zheng Tan tugged at his ears, turned around and was about to go, and went downstairs to take a look. He didn't intend to take a look, but found a familiar car driving in.

Paralyzed, why is Fang Sanye, a guy who manages everything every day, here again?

Fang Shaokang called Associate Professor Jiao's father. He just drove to Chuhua City from the capital today. He originally brought some seafood to the Jiao family. If there is no one at home, he would take him directly to Associate Professor Jiao's office. However, knowing that the cat was at home, I came directly to the East District Compound to have a look. It's just that on the phone, Associate Professor Jiao's tone was a little weird, which made Fang Sanye even more interested. If I don't see you this holiday, what happened to that cat?

After parking the car, Mr. Fang looked up at the fifth floor. His eyes were very good, and he happened to see the tip of the black ear.

"Heitan, come down and open the door!" Third Master Fang shouted from below.

Zheng Tan dawdled for a while, then opened the door and went downstairs to swipe the access control card.

"Hey, I said what are you doing at home? Don't you usually wander around outside at this time..." Mr. Fang hadn't finished speaking when he saw the black cat in front of him with half its beard cut short. He was silent for a while , and then squatted down and started laughing.

LOL!

Zheng Tan ignored him, swiped his card and went upstairs directly.

"Wait a minute, let me catch my breath!" Fang San stood up and walked up with a bag, "I even brought you some seafood as snacks."

Panting for breath, he came to the fifth floor, put down the bag, and Fang Sanye stood in front of Zheng Tan, took a good look at Zheng Tan's half beard, and then took out his mobile phone, ready to take pictures.

These days, the mobile phones used by people like Fang Sanye are more high-end, and the effect of taking pictures is good. But Zheng Tan was distressed, isn't it just a half-shorted beard? What's so strange? !

"Don't move, I'll take a photo for my daughter to see, hey, don't move, turn around and have a look..."

Zheng Tan directly took Fang Sanye's mobile phone away.

Picking up the phone, I tried to make two calls, but it still worked. I put it in my pocket, Mr. Fang went to the water dispenser, took out a paper cup to drink some water, then sat on the sofa to rest for a while, and sighed to Zheng : "Your beard should grow out next month, right?"

Without waiting for Zheng Tan's answer, Third Master Fang continued: "It should be able to grow. When I was a child, I saw a big tabby cat whose beard was all burnt. It would grow back in three weeks. You should be similar."

Zheng Tan: "..." Lao Tzu's beard burned even more!

"Well, when will I have time next month to take you out for fun? There are quite a few people with pets in that place. When I come to you, you can help me socialize. There just happen to be a few customers who like cats. If you are present at the time, the business discussion will be smoother. Well, let me tell your cat father later, and set a time first. "

Third Master Fang's self-questioning mode lasted for two minutes, then he answered the phone and left in a hurry. It is estimated that the affairs in Chuhua City have not been dealt with, otherwise he would not run around.

Even a giant businessman with such status has a troublesome side, entertainment is an essential link, no matter you are a small employee in the department, or a big boss with a huge amount of money, each has its own troubles behind the halo.

After Fang Sanye left, Zheng Tan looked at the calendar on the wall, in a month's time, the beard should grow well.

Wei Leng came over in the evening, just after the National Day holiday, and the second day after Jiao's family came back, Wei Leng came over, but seeing Zheng Tan's half-beard and not wanting to go out, he didn't take him out to play. Wei Leng actually didn't have much hope to let Zheng Tan go to the night tower with him today, but he didn't expect that Zheng Tan really wanted to go out today.

When you are in a bad mood, you have to vent. Zheng Tan is depressed, and Wei Leng comes just in time.

In the car, Wei Leng looked at the cat on the back seat. Its beard had grown a little, but it was obviously only half. I heard that he was in a bad mood recently?

With a sudden jolt, Wei Leng had a bad premonition.

In the evening, Ye Hao, Long Qi, and Leopard came to "Night Tower" to relax. He doesn't only own "Night Tower", he is usually busy outside, and only comes to "Night Tower" when he is free. "Night Tower" listen to the performance of the East Palace, and relax your mind.

Before coming here, Ye Hao received a report from his subordinates. He knew that Wei Leng had also come, but he didn’t know that Wei Leng brought the cat. Because Zheng Tan was hiding in the backpack all the time, so no one could see him. It's embarrassing to have a half-broken beard.

The three of Ye Hao came to the third floor, at the door of Wei Leng's private room, and saw Wei Leng squatting there smoking.

"What's wrong? Why are you squatting here?"

As Ye Hao said, he opened the door of the private room, and then, the ear-piercing "magic sound" that he hadn't heard for a long time resounded throughout the corridor on the third floor.
