Strange Life of a Cat

Speaking of Nancheng, people always think of its legendary development speed.

This international metropolis always attracts countless people with dreams.

This year, the opening of the subway, the opening of small and medium-sized enterprises, the rise of civil forces, etc., are all promoting the development of Nancheng.

People in suits and briefcases came and went in a hurry on the street, and young people dressed in trendy clothes became more and more ostentatious.

Zheng Tan, who was sitting in the cargo box of the pickup truck, looked up at the tall buildings outside.

The retrograde landmark-like buildings opened doors in Zheng Tan's memory. Seeing these suddenly, Zheng Tan was in a daze of not knowing what year it was.

The sun was a bit harsh, but the temperature was very warm. If he was in a relatively peaceful environment, Zheng Tan wouldn't mind taking a nap. Unfortunately, not here.

Zheng Tan is very familiar with this city. Apart from the entertainment spots that he used to frequent, he also drove to some other places. Back then, he liked to take a girl out for a stroll, so he could remember many places.

However, after all, there is a time difference. The city is changing every year. Compared with a few years later, it still looks immature, but it does not lose its vitality.

The bus stops and street signs are always telling Zheng Tan the driving direction and route.

The pickup truck drove towards the city center, and Zheng Tan was also happy. However, it didn't take long for the pickup truck to drive into a residential area.

This residential area is not considered high-end in Nancheng, nor is it large in scale.

After the pickup truck stopped, Zheng Tan immediately jumped off from the top without the driver noticing.

After jumping out of the car, Zheng Tan first found a place to hide. He didn't know what Nancheng's attitude towards stray cats was at this time. If he saw a stray cat on the street, would he be taken away immediately? If it is really caught as a stray cat, Zheng Tan is not sure that he can escape smoothly every time.

It was almost noon now, and the temperature felt to be around 20 degrees, which was slightly warmer than that in Chuhua City.

Zheng Tan hid in a corner, moved his nose, smelled a bad smell on his body, and his body was still a little itchy. I don’t know if it caused fleas. He was locked in the same cage with other cats, so many cats were placed in the same room. house, the possibility of getting fleas is high.

What a hassle!

From being caught to now, Zheng Tan hasn't taken a shower yet, his body is covered in ashes, and there are probably some blood stains on his body. When the dog cage was opened, there were many dried or half-dried blood stains around the shelf, Zheng Tan inevitably got a little bit of it, and the smell is still there. However, the good thing is that the color of the fur on the body makes these stains not obvious, and it doesn't look too embarrassing. If it is white hair, it will be difficult to deal with, and it is difficult to wash it without shower gel, so Zheng Tan is very glad that the hair on his body is completely black.

Zheng Tan never licks his fur by himself, now, when no one is helping to boil hot water to help comb his hair, he has to find a way to solve it by himself. To make yourself look like a stray cat, you have to keep your body clean and your fur smooth.

Zheng Tan searched around in the community, and finally chose the artificial pool, which also raised some koi and other small fish. The pool should be cleaned frequently, the water is still clean, and the rockery is also well organized.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people wandering outside at noon, Zheng Tan jumped into the pool and swam around, rubbed against the rockery, washed off the sticky dirt on his body, smoothed the knotted hair on his body, and rubbed for a while Afterwards, Zheng Tan played with the fish for a while and drove them around, but Zheng Tan had no interest in raw fish and would not eat them.

After feeling that it was almost the same, Zheng Tan came out of the pool, shaking his hair to shake off the water on his body. Sometimes Zheng Tan wonders why cats lick themselves when there is water on their bodies, while dogs shake their hair vigorously or rub on the ground when there is water on their bodies, especially those long-haired dogs. The Sahara just rubs around after taking a bath, so its owner has to tie it every time it takes a bath.

The hair on Zheng Tan's body is not long, and he can't shake off much water, and the wind still feels a bit cold. You can't be sick now, and if you get sick, you will probably be thrown away like a plague or dealt with in other ways. Looking around, Zheng Tan saw a towel hanging out to dry on the balcony of a resident living on the first floor. He ran over to hook his paws to grab one, and wiped the hair on his body. Zheng Tan was already proficient at doing this kind of thing .

There was no shower gel, and the water in the pool was just like that. It wasn't clean, but it was okay. It was better than not washing at all. After washing, Zheng Tan also felt much refreshed.

In order to let the hair dry quickly, Zheng Tan jumped onto a tree and found a sunny place to dry the hair.

The community is quite quiet, occasionally you can hear some dogs barking, and the greenery is not bad, but it is not as comfortable as the East District compound of Chuhua University.

Zheng Tan has formed a habit now, and he likes to compare it with the Eastern District Compound wherever he goes.

Yawning, Zheng Tan changed his position. The hair on his back was almost dry, but the hair on his stomach was not yet, so he lay on his side and continued to dry his hair from a different angle.

I really miss the children's hair dryer in Jiao's house.

Zheng Tan rested with his eyes closed, his ears kept up. He had to keep his vigilance with him at all times, otherwise he would be caught. With the experience of being arrested this time, Zheng Tan dared not be careless at any time, let alone this whole stranger. in environment.

There are occasional people passing by around, as long as they are not walking this way, Zheng Tan will not get up and run away, try to save energy, after all, now is not the day when you can go home and open the refrigerator whenever you want to eat.

The sound of small footsteps came, or it was just the sound of rubbing against the grass as they walked by. Zheng Tan's ears moved. It didn't look like a human, nor a dog. , are of the same kind.

Zheng Tan opened his eyes and looked over, a white Persian cat approached with graceful steps.

Many people say that Persian cats are born with a pampered look, and they also give people a gorgeous and noble feeling, like a nobleman, which is not comparable to native cats.

Zheng Tan doesn't care if it's expensive or not, right now he's staring at the cat badge on the Persian cat's neck, the tip of its tail is moving, as if there's another good idea...

Even if the fur on the body is relatively clean, there is no guarantee. It is not the most direct way for people in big cities to distinguish stray cats from pet cats. The cat card is like a person's ID card, which plays an important role in such a metropolis, and can sometimes change the attitude of passers-by towards you.

There is a cat card, which proves that the owner attaches great importance to the cat, and also tells people that the cat has a backer.

To get rid of the impression of stray cats, Zheng Tan had to start with cat cards. After all, he didn't look like a famous cat. As long as he went out to play a few times and got dusty, he would probably be considered a stray cat.

The Persian cat didn't know Zheng Tan's thoughts, nor was he aware of Zheng Tan's existence, and he definitely didn't know who was playing its cat card, so it still walked towards the big trees with graceful steps. , came over and rubbed against the trunk of the tree, sharpened his claws, and then pissed and circled the territory or something. No matter how elegant a cat is, it will not get rid of certain natures.

Zheng Tan was no longer lying down, and quietly moved over from the branch, waiting there.

That elegant Persian cat is still intoxicated in its own world, and it is estimated that it will go to the nearby pond to watch the fish after the enclosure. When it cocked its tail and passed the tree where Zheng Tan was staying, Zheng Tan saw that it would jump over there.

When he was in the compound of the Eastern District, Zheng Tan watched Ah Huang and the sheriff playing and fighting, and knew that cats generally used those few skills the most. Another chain kick.

Therefore, in order to avoid those situations from happening, Zheng Tan rode on its back after pounced on it, which didn't make the Persian cat stand up at all.

The Persian cat struggled hard and made an angry "meowing" sound, but it was not as strong as Zheng Tan's.

Zheng Tan pressed it to the ground, while freeing his paws to untie the cat ring around its neck.

The cat ring is still leather, buckled like a belt, not the elastic one that Zheng Tan used to wear. The cat badge is also the color of local gold, with metal lettering.

To hold down a cat, you must also make sure not to press it into internal injuries or fractures. It is really difficult to control the force, and the fur on the cat is thick and long, and the arm that is pressed on it is easy to slip. Zheng Tan spent a lot of effort . Sure enough, it is easier to press with human hands, but the cat's paws are still not as flexible as hands. When untying the cat's circle, the cat almost turned over and scratched its paw several times.

This cat looks very gentle, but it is very irritable when pressed.

"Meow——" the Persian cat that was pressed to the ground roared, as if it was about to come over and scratch Zheng Tan immediately, full of anger.

Meow fart! Just borrow a cat card to use! Just obediently hand over the cat card.

No one would think that this kind of noble cat was a stray cat even if it didn't use the cat card. Besides, after losing the cat card, its owner would definitely give it another one.

In order to ensure his own safety, Zheng Tan could only rob this buddy.

"Hey, what are those two cats doing? Fighting?" A little girl's voice came from not far away.

Zheng Tan looked over there, there were two younger children, not yet Jiao Yuanda, the little girl who made the noise just now was about the same age as Xiaoyouzi. There is still a pool between them and Zheng Tan's place, so Zheng Tan is not worried about them running over immediately.

There was a ten-year-old boy next to the little girl. After seeing Zheng Tan's situation, he immediately covered the little girl's eyes, "Oh, it's so embarrassing in broad daylight!"

Zheng Tan: "..."

Shame on you uncle!

Where did this little kid go? !

Seeing the two children running away, Zheng Tan continued to fight against the cat circle.

After finally getting the collar off the Persian cat's neck, Zheng Tan stepped back with the cat collar in his mouth, but the Persian cat turned over and did not attack Zheng Tan, it bent its back and looked vigilantly. Zheng Tan then ran away, probably going home to seek comfort.

Climbing up the tree with the cat ring in his mouth, Zheng Tan adjusted the tightness so that he could take it off at any time, so that it looked a little looser when he wore it. The golden cat tag was too eye-catching against the black fur , but better than nothing.

Curved paws lifted the cat card and looked at it, the name of the Persian cat was engraved on it.

"Katie"?

This name is really high-end and foreign. The question is, is it not awkward to name a male cat? Zheng Tan still felt that "Caesar" was more domineering.

Forget it, just use it.

After adjusting the cat ring, Zheng Tan didn't put it on immediately, but hid it first, then walked around the community, found a resident and went in to "take" something to eat.

There was only one person living in that house, and he was taking a nap. Zheng Tan didn't disturb the man, he came out after he was full, took the cat ring and left the community.
