Strange Life of a Cat

When he returned to Chuhua University, Er Mao was still telling Zheng Tan about the black and white cat sleeping in a box. However, food was given and words were written, but Er Mao had no intention of adopting her.

Also, remembering the second time he met Er Mao, Zheng Tan knew that this man had quite complicated feelings towards cats. He couldn't be said to be absolutely disgusting, nor could he be said to be close to him, and he was different from people like Long Qi.

Forget it, it depends on fate. Although Zheng Tan really hopes that the cat will be adopted, he can't force it.

When Zheng Tan used to shoot commercials at Xiao Guo's pet center, he would also walk on the grass around the pet center in his free time. There were people sitting there who brought their pets to see a doctor or shop. Zheng Tan went there for a walk one day. At that time, I saw a lame old man. He chatted with other cat friends nearby. He said that he had to keep a pet based on his taste. If he didn't like the pet, he would not take it, no matter how precious it was. And the old man adopted the pet. The cat was a cat that lost one of its hind legs in a car accident. The cat was well cared for and in high spirits, and it was obvious that the person and the cat got along well.

Therefore, it all depends on your eyesight. If people don’t like cats, they will definitely not take good care of them even if they keep them. Cats don’t like people, and they will probably have to run away from home after a short time. After all, there are not many cats in the world like Li Yuanba who find their own owners and stay there. Of course, Sir Alex is also considered a weirdo to a certain extent.

While thinking about it, Zheng Tan walked towards the road he usually took. This road was a little different from when he left the school. It separated at a fork in the road. He took one road when he left the school and another one when he came back, because, After returning from a walk outside, Zheng Tan would not go directly back to the East District compound at noon.

Every time he came back from outside at noon, Zheng Tan would pass by the International Academic Lecture Hall, because there was a large electronic screen announcing announcements hanging outside the International Academic Lecture Hall, with the time displayed on it. Inside the school, whether it was the university teaching building The timetable is the same as that of the attached primary school and kindergarten, exactly the same. Therefore, Zheng Tan looked at the time and picked up Little Pomelo from the attached primary school.

"Hey, where are you going?!" Er Mao shouted.

Er Mao, who had walked several steps toward the East District compound, turned his head and didn't see Zheng Tan. After looking around, he found that the cat didn't go the same way he came, so he turned around and picked up the bag in his hand. , follow the black cat in front of you and go that way.

Zheng Tan ignored him. Besides, Zheng Tan couldn't answer him.

Wei Leng told Er Mao some things about Zheng Tan, but they were not too detailed. Therefore, Er Mao couldn't figure out why the cat didn't go home when it was almost time for dinner, until he saw the gate of the attached elementary school and saw the black cat. I jumped up on the wall next to the gate and squatted down, then I remembered, oh, this cat has to go pick up the child.

Anyway, Ermao had nothing to do for a while, and I didn’t plan to eat lunch. I had eaten enough on the street just now, and there was still some food in the bag, so there was no need to buy another lunch box.

There were some parents who lived nearby who came to pick up their children. Most of them were familiar with Zheng Tan and took the initiative to say hello. Zheng Tan ignored him. Anyway, he was just a cat now, so not responding would not be considered rude.

After the school bell rang, the children who had gone home at noon ran out one by one. Xiao Youzi ran over after seeing Zheng Tan, glanced at Er Mao next to him, and then waited at the door with Zheng Tan.

Er Mao was surprised, who are we waiting for?

Six or seven minutes later, Jiao Wei ran over.

"Sorry, the last class took a while." Jiao Wei said to Xiaoyouzi, and then looked at Ermao standing next to him. There were no other parents around, and Ermao looked at him. Since he didn't know each other, Jiao Wei was not prepared to take the initiative to speak, so he took Xiaoyouzi out of the school gate.

"Hey, where are you going?" Er Mao followed up and asked.

Jiao Wei looked at Er Mao doubtfully, who is this person? He looked at Xiaoyouzi again, and saw that Xiaoyouzi was also confused, and it didn't look like he was seeing an acquaintance.

"Who are you?" Jiao Wei asked.

"I live downstairs from her house, on the third floor. I just moved here. My surname is Wang." Ermao introduced himself seriously, thought for a while, and pointed to the black cat squatting on the wall next to him watching the show. Said: "I am relatively familiar with this guy."

Zheng Tan tugged at his ears. Fuck you!

Without thinking, Jiao Wei looked stunned and said "Oh", "It turns out we know each other."

Not to mention Jiao Wei, Little Youzi was less guarded against Er Mao, which surprised Er Mao even more. He didn't expect that the effect of building a relationship with a cat would be so good. This cat has more dignity than a human!

Jiao Wei also briefly introduced himself, then smiled and said to Ermao: "Brother Wang, let's go out together. I'll buy lunch. You're welcome. It's my own shop. If you feel like it, you can come over and take care of me next time."

Ermao was really rude, "Okay, I'll go visit some places first."

During lunch, Er Mao chatted with Jiao Wei, and while chatting, Wei Leng was mentioned.

"Turns out he is a friend of Brother Leng, so disrespectful!" Jiao Wei recounted some past events, "At that time, it was thanks to Heitan that I asked Brother Leng for help, otherwise my store would not be able to open. So smooth."

Er Mao muttered to himself, no wonder he always felt that the boy looked at the black cat with something wrong in his eyes. It didn't look like he was looking at a pet at all. It turned out that this happened before.

Thinking of this, Ermao waved his hand, "What the hell, Wei Leng is my senior brother, and he's not here often. I'll help you. If you have any trouble, call me. I'm good at fighting to support the scene!"

Jiao Wei twitched his lips: "Haha."

When leaving the small restaurant, Er Mao left two bags of some snacks he bought in the shop. Although Jiao Wei and his parents have been coming here for more than half a year, they have only been to that old street less than three times. I don’t always have time to go there, and I’ve never tried some of the food.

In the afternoon, after sending Xiaoyouzi to school, Zheng Tan returned home. To be on the safe side, Zheng Tan also locked the door.

Turn on your computer, enter your password, and start surfing the Internet.

After browsing the web for a while and reading various gossips, Zheng Tan logged into the pet website.

Originally, Zheng Tan wanted to satisfy his vanity by reading the post that reprinted the photo advertisement he had taken, but after opening it, he found that the most popular post was about a recent cat abuse incident.

There were some pictures on the post, showing a college student in his twenties. Next to him, a cat was lying on the ground. The cat's eyes were still bleeding and there were many scars on its body.

The following pictures are all about the student returning the dead cat on the ground. Some were taken at close range and some were taken from various angles. The pictures gave Zheng Tan chills down his spine, as if he was watching a horror movie.

If Zheng Tan was still a human, pictures like this wouldn't make him feel this way, but now he is a cat. He has experienced cat dealers and cat meat restaurants. This experience is really profound. When linked to these pictures, The visual and psychological impact is relatively large. The scene where the tattooed man threw the kitten in the old building was not so bloody.

The student in the picture didn't look like those treacherous people on TV. Zheng Tan continued to read the introduction about this student. He was from a nationally renowned university in another province. He was a top student and his father was a big boss. My mother is also an executive. Prestigious school, top student, cat abuse, these words together seem very inconsistent, but this is the fact. Moreover, more than ten cats have died in the hands of this student, maybe more. The student said that he could not remember clearly.

Zheng Tan never knew that apart from the scumbags like the tattooed men who abuse animals, there would also be such talented students.

Zheng Tan stopped looking at the pictures that affected his mood and scrolled down the comments from netizens.

"Holy shit, you're so cruel! He's a top student!"

“Character has nothing to do with academic qualifications!”

"Pull him out and shoot him a hundred times!"

"In addition to being wary of cat dealers, we must also be wary of people who adopt people with malicious intentions. Don't do bad things with good intentions and entrust cats to those dressed-up beasts who make sweet promises but sound like farts. It will be too late to regret it."

"Recently, I suddenly noticed that there are fewer cats near my house. I thought they were cat dealers before. Could it be that some pervert caught them and abused them?!"

"Why are there so many perverts? Don't scare yourself. The most important thing is to take good care of your own cats, especially those that are free-range. Pay more attention."

…

From a human perspective in the past, Zheng Tan definitely wouldn't have cared about this matter. With Zheng Tan's character back then, he didn't even bother to pay attention to such nonsense, let alone argue with people online. But now, the mood is complicated.

A netizen whose ID is "Grumpy Cat" commented: "The reason for growing up. The father's indifference, and the mothers of career-oriented women in the new era have no time to care. From a psychological point of view, in family relationships, indifference is worse than beatings. , it means that your existence is worthless. Children can easily learn to ignore other people's feelings when they are ignored."

A netizen whose ID is Meow Master Xiao Ai commented: "Some people give people very different feelings outside and at home. They appear passive and obedient on the outside, but full of hostility and aggression on the inside. They please and cater to the leader, but they will Their true feelings are suppressed, so their inner conflicts and contradictions are very strong. When they face the use of violence or other extreme means of abuse by vulnerable groups, it does not simply mean that they do not behave well towards the perpetrator or the object of abuse. Satisfaction, but a behavior resulting from the superposition of multiple pressures and anger..."

This kind of analysis is more rational. The further back, the more intense the quarrel becomes.

Zheng Tan turned back two pages.

"Can't this be some fucking virtue?"

"Whatever you say to animals to accumulate virtue, your virtue has long since been exhausted."

"Everyone, calm down."

"Your cat had its eyes gouged out, beaten and tortured to death. How can you bear it?!"

"Aren't these all stray cats?"

"Can stray cats be killed indiscriminately? Doesn't it count as killing innocent people indiscriminately? Is he right?"

"At least legally he's fine."

"Poor stray cat."

…

"We cannot abuse people like cats. Now that he has decided to repent, everyone should give him a chance instead of creating pressure on him and leading the social group to exclude and scold him, which will destroy him."

"It's so funny. If he says he will change, will he change? There is a saying that a dog cannot change by eating shit!"

"The guy upstairs is hacking my big dog!"

…

The post quickly reached ten pages. Zheng Tan took a brief look at the posts on the next few pages. The post after that was not so elegant. Even the ancestors started to send greetings.

Some people strongly condemn it. Since the law cannot punish them, they use social morality and public opinion guidance to exert pressure. Others thought it was just cat abuse, not murder. Since the student admitted his mistake and decided to repent, everyone would forgive him. Why destroy a person for a few cats?

Of course, in the Mao District Forum, there are more people in the front group, and most of the people in the back group are not actually from the Mao District Forum, but come from other areas to speak.

Zheng Tan looked at the replies and thought of the black-and-white cat nestled in the cardboard box with injuries on its body. Perhaps, it has also been abused, but it is luckier, at least it is still alive.

In fact, Zheng Tan knew that no matter what the quarrel is now, the standards for people and cats will always be different. This is inevitable. After a few years, the elite will still be the elite, and the abused cats are no longer there.

In terms of racial concepts, society is always more tolerant of people, especially those who have achieved great success in their careers at a young age, but in the end they still live in a gorgeous world surrounded by stars. If Zheng Tan was still a human being, he would definitely not think so much. But now, he was worried.

When he came to his senses, Zheng Tan refreshed the web page and found that the number of replies to this post had reached fifteen pages, and the scolding continued to escalate.

After thinking about it, Zheng Tan raised his paw and dragged the mouse, clicked Reply, pressed key after key, and entered a sentence:

"As a cat, I feel sad."

[The following words are not included in Chapter V] (2.23)

I was originally going to post a single chapter to thank you, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. A single chapter is too troublesome, so I deleted it after a day. It would be better to put it at the end of the chapter for a longer period of time.

Thank you to all the friends who supported this book in January and February. Because many people reported that there were too many comments at the end of the chapter, I did not thank them one by one. During this time, the book has a new leader, and there are many more. Many records of book friends who reward large sums of money are displayed in the background, and you can see it when you flip through the records when they are updated every day.

February has passed. Chen Ci is here to say thank you to friends who voted for rewards and supported in various ways. Thank you very much for your support of this book! There are more than 700 monthly tickets in February! This was something I didn't expect. I originally thought it would be rare to get over 500. Anyway, thank you all.

The first goal for March – pay off the debt! , the rest will be discussed after paying off the debts.
