Strange Life of a Cat

puppies?

Still in the cage.

This kind of dog cage is not like the one Zheng Tan saw in the dog meat and cat meat restaurant. The dog cage in front of him is obviously more high-end, it looks like it is for pet dogs.

Zheng Tan remembered that when he ran from the big pagoda tree to the villager's house today, he didn't hear any movement. This should have happened during the time he was looking for the phone. However, when looking for the phone, he avoided some dogs. It is unknown who owns the dog cage and the dog.

I moved my ears, but there was no sound of other people around, nor the breath of strangers.

Zheng Tan went to the cage to have a look, because the pup was too small, Zheng Tan couldn't figure out why, he didn't know what breed it was, and he didn't research it.

The door of the dog cage was not locked, but there was a small tab stuck there, and the pup would not be able to open it. It had been trapped inside for an unknown amount of time.

The nighttime temperature in the mountains is relatively low. Although it is not as severe as late autumn and winter, it is not something a pup of this size can bear. Dogs, like cats, have a slightly higher body temperature than humans, and the temperature in the surrounding environment is around ten degrees. I don’t know if the pups can withstand such a temperature difference.

Noticing Zheng Tan standing outside the cage, the barking puppy came towards Zheng Tan and looked at Zheng Tan through the cage. Seeing that Zheng Tan didn't move, it continued to hum, biting the cage with its small teeth that hadn't grown much.

Zheng Tan opened the cage door with a hook of his paw, the puppy paused, tried twice, and then ran out.

Although they are still puppies, the size of this kind of dog should be relatively large. Compared to the current Zheng Tan, these three puppies are not much smaller than him in terms of size alone.

Regardless of the puppy that ran out, Zheng Tan looked at the other two that hadn't moved in the cage, raised his paw and poked it, but they were still soft. I thought the two pups were dead, but they kicked their legs and opened their mouths twice. Sleep too soundly?

Zheng Tan looked around, the pit was too big to block the wind at all, and the wind was relatively strong at night, if three or two continued to be thrown here, they probably wouldn't survive for long.

But Zheng Tan didn't want to get into this trouble, he was living a difficult life, how could he care about these three puppies? It is more practical to steal a mobile phone as soon as possible to figure out how to return to the East District compound.

However, Zheng Tan turned around and took two steps, and the puppy that was wandering around that ran out of the cage immediately came over and rubbed against Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan pushed it aside, and it ran over jubilantly, probably thinking that Zheng Tan was playing with it.

Zheng Tan simply threw it into the cage, closed the cage door and ignored it and started whining again. Turn around and leave again.

However, after walking about ten meters, the pace slowed down again. Zheng Tan looked back at the dog squatting on the edge of the cage and staring straight at this side. The night sky was full of stars, and Zheng Tan was able to reach it by the starlight. It was like a one-eyed blindfold, which reminded Zheng Tan of Niu Zhuangzhuang in the compound. It's just that the two look different. Niu Zhuangzhuang's big head is too special. The body proportions of this paparazzi are not like that, and it doesn't look like the kind of dirt dog that is common in the village. The owner abandoned it.

Zheng Tan used to listen to the conversations of dog owners when he was walking in the compound, and he knew the attitude of many dog ​​owners. If the cubs born by his dog dissatisfied them, they would throw them away.

The owner of the Sahara family said this, “Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit. Knowing that it eats shit, you still raise it, don’t care about bloodlines or breeds, take care of it every day, and tolerate it digging holes at home Those who bury bones in holes, bite tables and chairs and throw saliva to 'demolish' rebels must be true love."

Even native dogs are loved by people, but they are natural and artificially selected dog breeds that have gone through thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Among them, there are many individuals who understand human nature, have good understanding, are loyal and obedient, and have strong hunting ability.

As for skewered dogs, many famous breeds are also skewered.

Therefore, the family who threw the dog was definitely not true love.

By the time Zheng Tan came back to his senses, he had already walked to the side of the cage again, and the puppy inside was whimpering even more violently, and even whining.

Tsk, I'm so annoying!

Zheng Tan thought, it's fine now anyway, just move it away and find a place to throw it down.

I remember that there are some low bushes next to the big locust tree, which should be able to block the wind, and no one often passes there.

Lifting the cage, Zheng Tan walked towards the big locust tree. As for the two bags of snacks, I will pick them up later, since no one will pick them up at this time anyway.

On the side of the shrubs, because the villagers walk less, the vegetation is denser, which is just right to block the wind.

After putting down the cage and adjusting the position, Zheng Tan folded some branches and put them on top of the cage as a cover, and pulled some vines around it, so it shouldn't be too easy to find, right?

After setting it up, Zheng Tan went back to pick up the two bags of snacks, but when he was picking up the snacks, he suddenly thought, would the pup starve to death after a night of hunger? Shouldn't it? Just for one night...

Although he thought so, Zheng Tan felt that if the pup really starved to death, his hard work would be in vain, so he threw down two bags of snacks and ran to the villagers. The bread driver and his family had already fallen asleep. , Some large pots and steamers were set up in the yard. Zheng Tan looked and found some porridge in one of the steamers. .

Looking around, Zheng Tan found the host's disposable bowl for entertaining guests and filled it with some porridge. There were still some hard-boiled eggs in another large pot, Zheng Tan found a vegetable bag and packed a few.

The porridge was no longer hot when it was brought to the big locust tree, and Zheng Tan couldn't find anything to heat it up. Anyway, he brought the porridge with the mentality of giving it a try, and put an egg in it. Sigh, I ate it by myself, put the egg yolk in it, crushed it, and accompanied it with the porridge.

If this were Zheng Tan from the past, he would definitely not have done these things. As for the current behavior, let's classify it as a derivative emotion of wandering outside.

Looking at the mushy porridge in the bowl, Zheng Tan felt that he had no appetite. He wondered if the puppies could eat it, and he didn't care if the puppies didn't eat it.

Open the cage and put the bowl in a corner of the cage, close the cage, retrieve the two bags of snacks, climb up the tree to rest.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Tan heard a rattling sound in the cage, probably the pups were eating, and there seemed to be more than one.

When it was almost dawn, Zheng Tan jumped down from the tree and took a look. There was no more porridge in the bowl. Before, the two Zheng Tan thought they would not survive, but now their stomachs are bulging and their breathing is strong. They probably got up to eat in the middle of the night. Pass.

It is good to have strong vitality.

The next day, Zheng Tan continued to run out to find out what the villagers would do at what time. If the villagers went to work in the fields or orchards, even during the day, Zheng Tan would try to steal the phone. But there was nothing to gain that day, and finally ran to the driver's house to look for food, jumped to the second floor to have a look, and walked along a bag of thumb biscuits that children eat.

Before leaving, Zheng Tan saw the little girl again, the same as before, the little girl hid behind the door and looked at Zheng Tan's side, looking at Zheng Tan very seriously, and even rubbed her fingers, as if to make sure of something.

Zheng Tan didn't know what she was doing, but at this moment she heard footsteps, the busy driver and his wife finally went upstairs, Zheng Tan hurriedly jumped off the windowsill with the biscuit in his arms, and ran away.

After taking a bath, the little girl's mother taught her with a picture book.

The little girl answered the first few questions very well, and the driver and his wife were very satisfied. However, in the end, her mother thought about it, and when she asked "how many legs does the kitten walk on", the little girl didn't answer so simply.

"Two...four..." The little girl who was going to say "two" changed her words when she saw her mother's face suddenly changed, but felt wronged, so she cried out with a "wow".

This question is so difficult! Is it two legs or four legs?

Zheng Tan didn't know the trouble he had brought. He searched for two days in a row, but couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Even if they had a mobile phone, those villagers kept it close to their body, hiding it very well, for fear that someone would snatch it away.

Also, in this day and age, mobile phones are still very valuable items, not as common as they will be a few years later. However, in this way, Zheng Tan suffered.

The three puppies are much better now, Zheng Tan will let them out to play for a while during the day, the three puppies don't run around, just play around, Zheng Tan is watching from the tree not far from the cage.

In fact, it would be much better if they could be kept in the cage all the time, but these three puppies still have to pee or shit. Pulling the cage was too troublesome, Zheng Tan didn't want to clean it up again, so he let the three pups out, and threw them into the cage after shitting.

Watching the three dogs during the day, looking for opportunities to steal mobile phones at night, and finding some food to feed the pups, it lasted for a week.

One day, the three puppies were playing outside, and the butterfly-eating cat ran over, and the three puppies hopped and chased after them. If you don't go, you will come back obediently and don't run far.

But Zheng Tan didn't expect that the cat didn't run away directly, but stopped and played with the three puppies for a while.

It is estimated that the cat gets along with the dog a lot, and it does not reject it. It is quite happy to play, and runs over to tease it a few times from time to time, so that the three puppies will chase and bite. A pup with a bigger fart, even if it has teeth, will not bite very hard.

Zheng Tan didn't care about them, it's a good thing to get along well, and there are cats to play with, let alone Zheng Tan.

Just as he was about to squint for a while, Zheng Tan heard someone's voice.

Peering out from between the leaves, Zheng Tan saw a man in his thirties with a big bag on his back walking towards this side, holding a mobile phone while walking, talking on the phone.

The man's accent on the phone didn't look like a local, and the clothes on his body looked a bit downcast.

Zheng Tan didn't have the time to think about it, he was just staring at the phone in that person's hand.

It was supposed to be updated at 6:00 p.m., but something was delayed until now. Feel sorry. There are also updates at night, but it will be very late, everyone go to bed early and don't stay up late.
