Strange Life of a Cat

Zheng Tan was lying on the sofa in the living room, the tip of his tail wagging slightly.

Zheng Tan likes to think in this state. As for the wagging of the tail, this is a habit formed by Zheng Tan after he became a cat, and it originated from an unconscious movement. Just like some people like to tap their fingers on the table when thinking about problems, Zheng Tan likes to wag the tip of his tail when lying on the sofa thinking.

In fact, many cats like this, but not every cat thinks about those complicated issues like Zheng Tan. This action may just be their way of expressing their comfort, which means that they are in a good mood and living a comfortable life. Or maybe, like Zheng Tan, they are thinking about some things that are not as complicated as Zheng Tan, but people can't guess. After all, a cat's mind is hard to guess.

Zheng Tan still dreams about those scenes these few nights, but it is not as serious as the first night, Zheng Tan has adjusted his mentality. In fact, if Zheng Tan was still the human being, he would definitely not have a deep impression of those scenes, maybe he would forget them when he turned around, and maybe he wouldn't care. But after becoming a cat, the different status and environment lead to different perspectives on things and problems.

If it was a human being, it would be easy to put on a sack and knock the bricks. You can also find someone to teach the tattooed man a lesson. It is not uncommon to chop off hands and feet, and cut up dicks. Anyway, Zheng Tan doesn't need to do it himself. But now, without those factors, I still have to rely on myself.

In the living room, Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi are watching a science and education series about wild animals, Jiao's mother is knitting in the bedroom, and Jiao's father has something to go out. At the moment, there are large flakes of snow floating outside the house. After clearing for a while, it snowed again. It started to fall in the middle of the night yesterday. When I woke up this morning, the outside was completely white. Just now, Jiao Yuan opened the window to look, and it was still falling. , The snow is not decreasing, it is really snowing.

On the TV, the cheetah that just woke up was sitting on the grass, and it should be hunting at this time. There are many prey on the grassland, such as antelope, wildebeest, etc. However, time passed by, and it seemed not in a hurry.

Zheng Tan couldn't tell the difference between cheetahs and other leopards before, and the spots on their bodies seemed to Zheng Tan not much different. The host of the show said that the appearance of the cheetah is different from other distant relatives of the cat family, but Zheng Tan couldn't tell. He only saw leopards with his own eyes in the zoo, and he didn't even remember what kind of leopard he saw, so in Zheng Tan's impression, cheetahs looked similar to other leopards.

Next to it, Jiao Yuan and Xiao Youzi were discussing the characteristics of the cheetah. Before Zheng Tan was thinking about something, he didn't pay much attention to the words of the host on TV, and only heard a few sentences intermittently.

And from the discussion between Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi, Zheng Tan knew that there was a black stripe extending from the corner of the cheetah's eyes to the corner of the mouth on the cheetah's face, which looked like two black tear stains. This is also one of the most distinctive features that distinguish cheetahs from other leopards. These two black stripes are good for absorbing sunlight, thus making the field of vision more open.

Zheng Tan felt that he had a greater advantage, since Lao Tzu was all black!

"Cheetahs can bear it. If I couldn't hold it anymore, they didn't catch so many antelopes." Jiao Yuan peeled off a candy and put it in his mouth, then handed the candy wrapper to Zheng Tan's nose, "Happy? Do you like mango flavor?"

Zheng Tan turned his head away, tugged at his ears, ignoring this idle kid.

"They want to increase the success rate and save energy." Xiaoyouzi said seriously.

"Well, the rules of survival in a wild environment." Jiao Yuan concluded.

Zheng Tan turned over and lay down in another position.

It's one thing to think in your mind, it's another to act on it. It's not easy for Zheng Tan to teach that tattooed man a lesson. Most importantly, Zheng Tan doesn't want to expose himself, otherwise he will definitely cause trouble.

That said, it is best to act at night.

The man with the tattoo is a strong man, so he should fight at ordinary times, but what kind of fights do he have and what is his combat effectiveness? Zheng Tan was a little skeptical.

The people around the alleys in the old building area exaggerated when they talked about the tattooed man, and they only paid attention to the muscles and hideous tattoos on the tattooed man's shoulders. Zheng Tan has seen those people who were free from incisions before. Those people also have tattoos on their bodies, but at the same time, they also have many scars on their bodies. , His aura and casual look are not comparable to that sloppy tattooed man.

Like the tattooed man, he can only be regarded as a punk at best. Perhaps, things are not as difficult as Zheng Tan thinks. However, an understanding of the target is a must, and Zheng Tan still needs to go to a spot to follow up and observe.

Patience, wait for the opportunity, one hit kills.

This is the cheetah's way of survival on the grassland, and Zheng Tan just needs to learn this way of action.

patience...

Zheng Tan looked out the window. There is a layer of water droplets attached to the window, which cannot clearly see the situation outside the house, but the haze also has the benefits of being hazy. If you want to know whether it has snowed or not, and how much snow has fallen, you have to wipe off the water droplets, or you have to open the window to look. If you don’t open the window, there will be a layer of water vapor separating the truth, and the truth will become hazy.

Zheng Tan came to the window of the living room, stood on the window sill, and looked at the water droplets attached to the glass. He leaned forward and exhaled.

One of the water droplets attached to the window starts to slide down, and then encounters other water droplets, the water droplets become larger and slide faster, until they actually fall on the window edge, and it is no longer known how many water droplets attached to the glass window have gathered.

If every drop of water is regarded as a preparation before action, then, in the end, when the time is right, is it as easy as exhaling a breath?

Flicking his tail, Zheng Tan was going to go out for a walk to clear his mind. The room was too warm and comfortable, making Zheng Tan drowsy.

"Huh? Heitan, you want to go out?" Xiaoyouzi, who was about to peel the candy, saw Zheng Tan walking towards the door and said.

"Come back to eat when you have time to go out to play, otherwise you will be hungry, and if you don't come back by meal time anyway, your share of chicken legs will be mine!" Jiao Yuan emphasized the word "chicken legs".

Mother Jiao prepared three chicken drumsticks, one for the two children and one for Zheng Tan, to eat for dinner.

Hearing Jiao Yuan's words, Zheng Tan let out a snort, signaling that he understood.

After going out of the building, Zheng Tan looked at the layer of snow on the ground, and Zheng Tan walked up to his limbs almost being submerged. There is still some resistance to go out. However, to Zheng Tan, this was nothing.

Walking out step by step, on the white snow, a black figure moved out from the family building, which was particularly conspicuous from above. But at this time, it seems that not many people have the leisure and pleasure to go out to enjoy the cold wind and watch the snow.

Zheng Tan could touch the snow on the ground as soon as he lowered his head, and a cool breath rushed over his face.

There is no wind now, only large flakes of falling snow.

Zheng Tan looked up at the snow falling in the sky, shook his ears, flicked off the snowflakes that fell on his ears, and continued walking.

The coolness around him made Zheng Tan wake up a lot in his mind, and the drowsiness accumulated at home was gone.

Zheng Tan was walking towards the gate of the family area, when suddenly there was a barking sound not far away, behind the dog barking, someone was shouting: "Sahara, come back to me!"

What responded to him was the figure of Sahara running farther and farther. After running for a while, he stopped to look at his building and barked twice. If he saw someone chasing him, he moved twice. As soon as you step down, Sahara will immediately continue to run away as if he has been beaten with chicken blood.

On weekdays, this girl is so pissy. In the past few days of Chinese New Year, many guests have come to her house one after another. They come in and out, and the gate is often open when there are guests. After all, there are many people who come to pay New Year's greetings one after another. control.

Originally, the owner of the Sahara tied it up, but a child untied the rope buckle around the dog's neck while playing, and then this guy seized the opportunity to squeeze out when the guests came in and out.

Its owner still has to greet the guests, and at this time he will not leave the guests behind to chase the dog. Besides, this situation has happened several times during the winter vacation. Don’t worry too much. Sahara will come back in less than an hour, but, come back Sometimes it's either rolled in mud or stained with other things, and it has to be washed thoroughly.

The neighbors around have long been used to such things, and every time they see this situation, everyone will have the same feeling: happy to hear and see.

Sahara ran wildly, because it was much bigger than Zheng Tan, it was easy to run in the snow, and when it ran, its hind legs kicked the snow up, I don't know if it was on purpose, anyway, Zheng Tan didn't see Xiaohua and Niu Zhuang lived like this.

After Sahara ran past Zheng Tan, Sahara suddenly stopped suddenly and turned to look at Zheng Tan in the snow.

"Wow!!"

Whoa!

Zheng Tan ignored it and continued walking towards the gate.

Sahara stood there for a while, seeing that Zheng Tan really didn't intend to talk to it, she flicked her tail and came towards Zheng Tan. When walking, Zheng Tan could still hear the sound of its toenails grinding on the concrete floor.

When approaching Zheng Tan, Sahara suddenly rushed over and raised one front leg, pushed Zheng Tan obliquely with the sole of his foot, pushing Zheng Tan into the snow. It's not too hard, and it won't hurt Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan didn't expect that this guy would make such a sudden move, he threw himself into the snow without paying attention, and buried his whole face in it.

After a successful blow, Sahara ran away like a joy.

Zheng Tan shook off the snow on his body, shook his head, and shook off the snow sticking to his face.

Paralyzed! Sahara, you deserve a fucking beating!

Zheng Tan rushed over, no longer the pace of moving slowly in the snow before, the speed was not inferior to Sahara who was running ahead, and even jumped directly onto the circular flower bed in the middle of the road with the advantage of jumping , go straight.

When the doorman opened the window, what he saw was that the black cat of Associate Professor Jiao’s house was chasing the mixed-breed dog raised by Academician Ruan’s grandson. Regardless of Sahara’s teeth grinning, the black cat caught up and raised its paw in a chain smoke.

Seeing this situation, the uncle doorman smiled. He remembered how his boy was smoking a top when he was a child, and when he was the fastest, he was not as powerful as the cat.

"Good job, that guy from Sahara just doesn't have a good job!"

The doorman closed the window, took a mouthful of Erguotou, picked up two peanuts, clicked his tongue twice, then lay down and continued to watch Spring Festival-related programs on the small TV with his legs crossed.

After Zheng Tan got tired from convulsions, he stood there panting.

Seeing that Zheng Tan stopped slapping her hands, Sahara stretched out her tongue and gasped for air. She might feel a little thirsty, so she lowered her head and licked the snow on the ground, making a pattering sound when she licked it. Licking the snow is not enough, Sahara rolled directly on the snow, rolled to the side of a slope, and then rolled down the slope.

Below the slope is the tennis court in the family area, which is blocked by iron nets, but the slope is also about ten meters long.

After Zheng Tan saw Sahara rolling away, he came to the side of the slope to have a look. After rolling to the bottom of the slope, Sahara shook his hair, looked around, and then rushed up the slope.

At first, Zheng Tan thought that Sahara was going to go somewhere to have fun after coming up, but the next moment this guy rolled down again, and he felt that the speed of the slide was not fast enough, and he twisted while sliding down.

Zheng Tan looked at the dog who was having fun, shook his head, and walked towards the gate.

There are very few people walking around the campus, only a few sporadic ones, and there are not many vehicles. People from the school security office were wearing thick coats and were shoveling snow.

Zheng Tan came to the place where the three kittens were buried, and looked a few meters away. No one came here, and there were no other traces on the snow.

The big white cat, Zheng Tan, doesn't know what's going on now, since the old man took it away last time, Zheng Tan hasn't seen it, and he doesn't know where the old man lives. However, the old man said that he lived nearby, and since he was not far away, he would always meet in the future.

Zheng Tan walked around some parts of the campus, but didn't go to the forest where the trees were climbed, it was too far away.

After wandering around a few places, Zheng Tan looked at the sky and decided to go to old man Lan's small flower garden.

Zheng Tan discovered that Old Man Lan's small flower garden is actually full of treasures, as long as he is good at discovering, he can always find what he wants.

The new year is not over yet, old man Lan always has visitors coming to his house, and he has less time to visit the small flower garden recently. However, some old man Lan who needs to focus on taking care of them has already taken care of them years ago. At other times, he comes here occasionally to check the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse.

Zheng Tan still climbed over the wall and entered according to the old path.

There is a thick layer of snow on the transparent greenhouse, and it will slip if you don't pay attention.

There were still wooden boxes piled up on the side of the shed, Zheng Tan didn't jump off the transparent shed immediately, but stood by the side of the shed, looking down at the scenery of the small flower garden.

With his eyes closed, Zheng Tan raised his head slightly. A snowflake fell on the bridge of his nose and slowly melted.

There is a delicate fragrance of plum blossoms in the air.

Pieces of snow fell on the leaves and made a slight thud.

Zheng Tan couldn't reach the spiritual state of Zhuang Zhou's dream of the butterfly, he just suddenly wanted to sit here for a while, just a while.

A sneeze interrupted the silence of the small flower garden.

Other cats would lick their noses after they sneezed, but Zheng Tan didn't lick, and kept the habit of being a human, sniffing his nose.

Paralyzed, go home after reading it quickly. It's so fucking cold! I'm all wet!

Jumping down from the wooden box, Zheng Tan found a few flower sheds, and finally stopped in front of a flower shed marked with "Do not enter for idlers" and a mandatory stop warning sign.

The flower shed was locked, even the windows were well shut. Zheng Tan couldn't get in the ventilated place. But it doesn't matter, the purpose of Zheng Tan's trip is just to take a look.

It's a pity that this transparent flower shed is temperature-controlled, and the inner wall is covered with a layer of water vapor and some traces of dripping water. Zheng Tan can't see the situation inside very clearly.

Flicking his tail, Zheng Tan sat for a while and then left, coming back to see it next time.

Don't rush, be patient, there are still many things to prepare.
