Strange Life of a Cat

"what happened?"

Jiao Yuan stopped doing his homework, halfway through the dictation, there was such a big commotion outside, Jiao Yuan, like everyone else, thought about the thief last time. Putting down the pen, I looked around and found that my cat hadn't come back yet.

Papa Jiao put down the sixth-grade Chinese textbook in his hand, and went to the window to have a look. Some young and middle-aged people came out of the surrounding buildings one after another. Some curious children lay on their windows or balconies and looked outside, and were soon pulled into the house by their parents.

"Sit down!" Papa Jiao called Jiao Yuan who was close to the window, took out his phone to ask other people, and also called the old lady on the first floor, after all, those who live on the first floor can know the news quickly Some.

After hanging up the phone, Papa Jiao thought for a while, walked out of Jiao Yuan's room, and opened the door. Qu Xiangyang, who happened to be opposite, also opened the door and looked to this side.

"Hey, Brother Jiao, did you hear..."

"Xiao Qu, you came just in time, and I'm going to find you!"

in a minute.

Qu Xiangyang was sitting on the couch in Jiao's house, and Associate Professor Jiao asked him to stay here to help take care of the child, while Associate Professor Jiao himself quickly went downstairs.

The commotion in the family compound in the East District was too great, and the process from quiet to noisy was too short. The cat catcher didn't expect things to develop like this. They have never encountered such a situation in catching cats in some residential areas before.

After hearing the loud meowing from the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, the cat catcher immediately climbed over the wall and ran to the cage. He didn't dare to delay, and he had already heard a dog barking coming this way.

A beautiful leap over the row of rhododendrons, the man didn't slow down, and rushed directly to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. But before he could see the position of the cage clearly, the four cat's paws scratched up.

Fatty doesn't move his claws, and once he pulls out his claws, even if the force is not as strong as Zheng Tan's, it is ruthless and sharp enough, and the places where he scratches are close to the eyes. If it was longer, the cat catcher would probably lose his eyes.

Even if he was not caught blind, there were several deep bloodstains from the brows to the eyes to the nose, and blood overflowed from the claw marks almost immediately.

Big Fatty doesn't think about whether he has caught people blind, or whether he has to bear some consequences if he catches them too severely. It is trained to fight back vigorously when it is dangerous. As for the troubles after that, someone will help it settle it.

The same is true for Zheng Tan, he scratched in the same position as Big Fatty, and because he controlled the force, it would only temporarily hurt the man's eyes and damage his vision. But he didn't spare the man, Zheng Tan's scar was much longer than that of Fatty's, almost reaching his neck, and when he rushed up, he took the opportunity to kick the man's feet. He used a little bit more force than an ordinary cat, but didn't use all his strength, Zheng Tan didn't want to expose too much.

"ah--"

There was a scream, not loud, but it was obviously from not suppressing the pain.

The man covered his face, rushed over too fast, didn't stop under his feet, and directly hit a sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

After a successful blow, Big Fatty quickly moved away, looking at this side from ten meters away, but did not approach.

Zheng Tan didn't dodge it. Seeing that the cat catcher didn't want the cage, he got up in a panic, and was about to go to the courtyard wall. He didn't intend to let this man slip away. There are other ways.

The man probably had an eye injury, and in the dark environment, he couldn't see the surroundings clearly. He hit several trees and hadn't turned around yet.

Seeing the man with his back turned to him, Zheng Tan rushed over, jumped up, and grabbed the man's pants.

Grill!

It's a pity that the man was wearing jeans and a belt. Zheng Tan failed to pick it off.

The man felt a scratch on his thigh, and without looking carefully, he turned around and kicked hard, but the cat didn't kick, and he tripped over a branch and fell down on his back.

The cat catcher didn't expect that the cat catch would become like this this time. The cat didn't enter the cage, but came up to scratch people so boldly. Don't they say that domestic cats are more gentle? Most of the cats he caught in some communities before were not so angry. Now facing the cat, if you scratch it once and don't give up, then scratch it a second time. If I was wearing sweatpants, I guess the pants would have been ripped off.

However, the current situation does not allow the cat catcher to think too much, he has to escape quickly.

However, before he turned over and got up, there was a sharp pain in his buttocks.

Fatty and Zheng Tan who were squatting next to each other tugged at their ears.

Niu Zhuangzhuang, you are so fucking awesome!

This guy Niu Zhuangzhuang had bitten people before, he was bloody, and this time it was the same, he didn't even think about whether it would be dangerous, he just rushed up and took a bite.

Niu Zhuangzhuang didn't bite his calf this time, he didn't know if he felt his mouth got bigger or for some other reason, this time he bit his butt instead.

Now that Niu Zhuangzhuang is here, Xiao Hua and Sahara will also arrive soon.

The florets don't bite, but they can bite others. Seeing that its companions were biting, it also found something to bite.

The cat catcher was wearing a hat with a hat, and Xiaohua bit the hat on his clothes and dragged it back, shaking her head in a tearing motion while dragging, and let out a low growl.

Originally, Xiaohua was just playing, and she usually played with toys like this, but because the hat on his clothes was bitten by the cat catcher, he raised his hand and slapped the big dog.

However, this pumping aroused Xiaohua's anger. A good temper does not mean that she will not be angry, and there are two companions beside her to set off the atmosphere, so she gradually started to get serious. Much more violent than before.

As Xiaohua tore and swayed, the cat catcher was also pulled to the side, and his dizzy head became even more dizzy.

Zheng Tan remembered a movie from a certain era, "Cujo", which made the St. Bernard a symbol of terror.

After regaining his senses, Zheng Tan looked at the situation over there again. The funny thing was that Xiao Hua bit the man's hat and pulled it, while Sahara bit the man's trouser leg and pulled it. The two dogs pulled in opposite directions. With Niu Zhuangzhuang biting in the middle, it has to be said that this cat catcher is a bit of a loser.

The cat catcher felt extremely bad at the moment, his face was still burning with pain, there was a dog biting his buttocks, and a dog was staring at him on his head and feet, and his head was getting dizzy. After he took a breath, he didn't bother with the big dog, and reached into his pocket.

Take it out, no.

Take it again, still nothing.

Change another pocket, and there is still no fucking!

What about the knife? !

Looking at the man's movements, Zheng Tan knew what he was looking for, but when the man fell down and Niu Zhuangzhuang rushed up to bite him, Zheng Tan took the opportunity to hook the knife out of the man's pocket, Throw it aside to prevent the man from hurting the three dogs with a knife.

The people on the other side of the compound were not slow, they came over quickly, and the first one came was the guard uncle, and the guards in charge of the security office were a few steps behind him.

The uncle guard started to act soon after receiving the old lady's call. He is a veteran, and he can come here to do this leisurely job. Although his relatives have contributed, it is mainly because of the old lady's face. Her son also helped arrange it, so he will help the old lady a lot.

The old lady called to explain the situation, and he immediately notified the school security office, and he came out with a flashlight and a hand guard, so the faculty and staff in the compound should not be allowed to take risks.

However, after the doorman came over, he was helpless. The three dogs were too involved, and they were obviously aroused. At this moment, he would definitely be implicated if he went up rashly.

Scratching his head, the uncle guard looked at the two cats squatting next to him, "What's wrong?"

Zheng Tan glanced at him, then walked over to the cat trap.

The uncle guard took a flashlight to take a picture of Zheng Tan, and quickly recognized the purpose of that cage. He walked over and lifted the cage out, looked at the sparrows that hadn't moved much inside, and looked at some marks on the cage. It was obvious that this cage had already caught many cats.

"Hehe, I've become so courageous that I ran into the family compound to set up cats!" The uncle guard looked back at the fat man who was squatting on the side of the road as if he had nothing to do with him, and then looked at the man who was surrounded by three dogs. The cat catcher who was bullying there curled his lips.

Running here to set a cat, isn't that courting death?

Even if our country's laws in this area are not perfect, since he was caught, he would definitely not be lightly forgiven, let alone that fat raccoon flower was involved.

A few people from the compound came over and looked at the situation over there by the light of the flashlight, and heard the doorman tell the usefulness of the cage, but they didn't go up to help the cat catcher, they just stood by and watched, talking to the doorman Uncle chat. It was the first time they saw this kind of cat-catching cage, and they were a little curious.

"Cat thieves like this usually sleep during the day and start stealing cats around twelve o'clock at night. From midnight to five or six in the morning, they can steal ten or twenty cats. Didn't they say that many people lost cats a while ago? It’s all done by these people. But it’s strange, this person seems to be a veteran of stealing cats, and he would come here to steal, and it’s still at eight or nine o’clock.” The uncle doorman shook his head while talking.

Zheng Tan squatted not far away to listen to their conversation, and he also wanted to know something about this. After all, before he became a cat, he didn't care about these at all, but now he has to, it's about his life after all.

"They are all stolen pet cats? Even if they are eaten, can't those merchants raise them? Chickens, pigs, etc., aren't the livestock used for eating all raised in special factories? Why do you want to steal domestic cats?" A young man asked the boy who ordered.

The uncle doorman smiled, "Keeping? How is it possible? It's better to steal cats quickly and save money. Cats are not like dogs, they are easy to trap. And these people also have skills in trapping cats. They specialize in big cats, while kittens are easy to trap." Let it go, wait until next year, and then come to set it up. Anyway, they don’t need to spend their own money to raise cats.”

"I'll go! So, those who have worked so hard to raise cats seem to be raised for these people? Also, don't you often see stray cats? It's fine to catch stray cats, but they even steal domestic cats !” sighed the young man.

"There are only a few stray cats, and the demand in the market is huge. These people are targeting domestic pet cats. Moreover, domestic cats are well-raised, not sick, and the selling price is higher. However, those who lost cats People are pitiful."

A middle-aged teacher next to him also interjected: "That's right. After raising cats for so long, they have feelings. Those who lost their cats can be sad for a long time. Who was it before, who didn't think about eating and drinking all day long after losing the cat."

Zheng Tan, the cat-throwing person mentioned by the middle-aged teacher, knew about it and lived in the East District compound, but the family’s cat didn’t play with Zheng Tan. The cat once ran into the first floor of Building B, climbed into the balcony and ate it secretly. Big Fatty's rations were severely taught by Big Fatty once. But during the Chinese New Year, when I heard that the cat was gone, Zheng Tan didn't think too much about it, and thinking about it now, Zheng Tan sighed endlessly.

"How much does this cat cost?" the young man was curious.

"It can't be sold for much, about a few tens of dollars. Domestic cats and foreign cats are almost the same, and they are sold at a low price. After the cats are captured, some skins are peeled off, and then shipped to fur markets in other places. As for the cat meat, they are sold to some. Restaurants or barbecue stalls, etc., some barbecues and meat skewers at street stalls may contain cat meat, and some other foods may also be adulterated. Many people have eaten it and don't know it.

Some cats were directly thrown into the boiling pot and scalded to death. It is said that by chopping off their heads and feet, they can pass off as rabbit or other meat. This is for fur business and cat meat business. There are also cat-catching organizations that do the live cat business, catch the cats and ship them to the south, and ship them out in truckloads... In big cities, if you want to get truckloads of cats, they are all domestic cats that are stolen. "

"No wonder Sister Ling kept her cat at home, and she hasn't seen her Ah Huang recently. By the way, are there many cat-catching organizations?" the young man asked.

"There are many."

"Why aren't these people arrested?"

The uncle guard paused, and said: "There are more cat-catching organizations than you imagined, and they exist all over the country. It is too complicated and involves too many things. Some people pull cars one by one to the south, even if they are stopped halfway. Now, he still has a certificate in his hand, there are always other legitimate reasons to hide, you can't catch it."

Zheng Tan listened to their conversation and suddenly felt chills all over. Because now it is a cat, so the personal feeling is stronger.

And in connection with the chat between the uncle guard and several people just now, Zheng Tan knew that the cat that stole the big fat rations had been lost and would never come back.

The people in the compound gradually gathered here, and the people from the security office also rushed over.

The three dogs were all called back by their owners, and the cat catcher was in a terrible state, with cat scratches all over his face, torn trouser legs, blood on his buttocks, and his clothes were torn into rags.

But no one here sympathized with him.

The hostess of the house who lost the cat mentioned just now was very emotional and waved her palm to come over, but her husband stopped her,

Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, the cat thief was lying there covering his face, with blood still flowing from between his fingers. Soon this person was taken away by the security staff. However, the discussion among the people in the compound has not stopped.

Zheng Tan ran over after seeing Papa Jiao, and felt safer staying with his family.

Big Fatty reacted very excitedly when he saw his old lady, rushed over and jumped on her.

The old lady immediately picked it up, and from the series of movements, she knew that this kind of thing had been done a lot.

Zheng Tan watched from the side, very surprised.

Paralyzed, who was fine just now, now looks frightened? ! Fatty shit, your tonnage, don't you think about it when the old lady is old? !

Sensing Zheng Tan's sight, Fatty raised his head, squinted his eyes and shook his ears, buried his head in the old lady's arms and continued to seek comfort, and every time he pretended to be pitiful, the old lady would give him extra meals after returning home.

Papa Jiao took Zheng Tan, and walked with the old lady to their own building, listening to the old lady talk about the fact that Big Fatty recognized the cat trap.

"Big Fatty is trained. My son said that the biggest enemy of a cat is that thing, so every time he goes to his place, he will train Big Fatty to avoid all kinds of cat traps, and Some other traps for catching cats, alas, those who steal cats now, are wicked..."

When the cat catcher was taken away and the people in the compound gradually dispersed, someone also left at the gate of the compound.
