The Cat's Inheritance

Only then did Qin Qin realize that the delicate little curly hair was Fang Jia's cat.He sincerely praised: "Your cat is very beautiful."

Chiron raised his chin, proud and elegant, and glanced at Hardworking.Sparta couldn't understand, and he still lay on his paws stupidly to watch the fun.

When talking about her cat, Fang Jia's talkativeness immediately rose to a new level.He waved his hands, and talked to Xin Qin about his cat in an eloquent and eloquent manner.Qin Qin listened while stroking Sparta's back.It turned out that this German curly cat was named Chiron, and it was more than four years old, almost equivalent to 40 years old for humans. According to the current little girls, it is already an uncle.However, Chiron's appearance is very deceiving, with a slender figure and clear eyes. Fang Jia usually likes to wear a big colorful flower around its neck.

Chiron is good everywhere, that is, it gathers all the high-cold temperament that a cat can have, and raises this high-cold temperament by a whole gradient.When Fang Jia raised a cat, she wanted a caring and clingy cat, hey, like your raccoon cat, who can be held in her arms, kissed and never let go.He searched a lot of posts about cats, fell in love with the German curly cat at first sight, and saw that many cat owners are formal. This kind of cat has a gentle personality and is a perfect sweetheart padded jacket. He made a decision immediately and decided to raise it.He entrusted many connections, found a reliable cattery, and waited for almost half a year before inviting Chiron.I thought that Chiron was so sweet, and his personality must be docile and clingy, but the cruel life slapped him in the face.

Not allowed to kiss, not hugged, not touched, even when eating, he was like a picky old man, his eyes were as cold as ice scum, if he made a slight mistake in his movements, he would be slapped immediately.Sometimes Fang Jia sees Chiron lying on the sofa alone, looking very relaxed, thinking that his time has come, and leaps forward with a stride, leaning over to take a bite, but Chiron lifts his hind legs and kicks him to doubt himself.

Fang Jia counted all kinds of horrific past events on her fingers, and she broke out in a cold sweat after hearing all the hard work.I really don't have any experience in raising cats, so should all normal cats be like Chiron?Qin Qin couldn't help but look down at his raccoon cat.Sparda was pouted, struggling to get into his arms through the hole in his sweater.Fang Jia looked at him even more sadly.

Qin Qin cleared his throat, and comforted him: "Every cat expresses its feelings in different ways, just like humans. It's just that they don't have the right to choose in advance, so as humans, we have to bear greater responsibilities."

Fang Jia drooped her head and said in a dejected tone, "Actually, I'm fine. Even though the marriage is so cold and violent, I still persisted for more than four years. Let's count it as my debt. Who made me feel sick when I was sick, or when I was broken in love? , when I'm sad to death, this guy is the only one who will nest next to my pillow."

Hearing this, Chiron yawned a lot and commented, idiot.

Hearing this, Sparta pricked up his ears, and tried hard to drop his head and buttocks one by one, but unfortunately his fur was too thick and got stuck in the compartment of the sweater.Fortunately, Miwu reached out and pulled him out.Sparta shook the messy hair of his head, and asked Teacher Chiron curiously, "Teacher, you don't seem to like your humans."

Teacher Chiron replied lazily: "You are still young, you don't understand. I told you to study hard, why can't you always remember?"

Sparta retracted his head, closed his ears, and meowed softly: "I can't remember."

Teacher Chiron squinted his eyes, obviously not convinced. "If you can't remember, you have to work harder to remember. Speaking of which, cats at your age always come to school for some special purpose."

"I want to learn human language, so that I can understand what Miwu said."

"Since there is a purpose, why can't you persist? Think about it carefully, is it not hard enough? If you try hard and still fail, is the direction not enough? Do you really think that learning is for anthropology?"

Sparta, who was so criticized that he couldn't hold his head up, suddenly froze, didn't he?

Teacher Chiron glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "The purpose of education is not to torture, the essence of education is not pain. Exams are not our purpose, but our means. Education is to make you a Cats, better live in this world where we coexist with humans, help you understand, help you be free. One day, when you are smart enough, you can freely choose to continue living in the way you want. Do such a cat Cat, isn't that exactly what we want?"

Sparta was lost in thought.He didn't think so deeply before, because what he wanted to do and the life he wanted to live were closely related to Miwu.But if you really want to separate it, the focus should be "he wants it".Because he wanted such a life, he decided to become smarter by studying so that he could realize his wish.From this point of view, studying and taking exams are not only pain and helplessness, but also a proof that he is moving towards his destination bit by bit, just like he came to Maochun from the meander thousands of miles away.

Sparta suddenly felt unobstructed, never so relaxed as at this moment.At this moment, he was not only encouraging himself to work hard, but at this moment, he suddenly believed that he had another path to take, and this path would eventually lead to light.

Teacher Chiron narrowed his eyes, revealing a contented expression that resembled a smile.

Fang Jia, who had been secretly observing the interaction between the two cats, suddenly sighed quietly, and said sadly: "Chiron likes you very much, and even likes your cat. Chiron seems to like everyone except me. .”

After listening hard, I found it a little funny.Sure enough, no matter how optimistic and open-minded people are, there will still be things that they care about, and there will be things that they can't get past.He was about to say something to comfort the other party, when Fang Jia suddenly thought about it.I saw him looking at Qin Qin with a smile on his face, and his tone was rather gloating, "By the way, what kind of talent show are you preparing for today?"

Talent show?Hard work was stunned.

Seeing Xin Qin's puzzled face, Fang Jia was even happier, and he was sure that the other party must have nothing prepared. "You'll know later." After that, he said goodbye to Xin Qin and went to help prepare the stage.He and the founder of the cat club are good friends, so he often comes to volunteer as a staff member.Even his cat, Chiron, is also the working cat here, responsible for screening the membership list and stabilizing the mood of members.

Before Fang Jia left, she urged Chiron to come with him.Chiron licked his paw and ignored him.Fang Jia had no choice but to leave by herself in a sullen mood.It didn't take long for Chiron, who had licked his paws, to stand up and follow him not too far away.

Qin Qin still thinks about the talent show.He turned out the invitation letter of Christmas Meow Night, looked carefully, and finally found that on the back of the invitation letter, there were several rows of small words, reminding all cat owners participating in the event to prepare a cat talent show in advance. In the middle of the party, they will arrange performances, and everyone is welcome to participate.

Active participation means... not necessarily participating, right?Thinking hard and apprehensively.His raccoon cat is an authentic home-taught kid, skills?No.Performance?Won't.He reached out and rubbed Sparta's flowery belly.Sparda made a gesture to bite his finger, but ended up just licking it.

Halfway through the party, the host actually stepped onto the stage to announce the show.Xin Qin originally thought that there would not be many people voluntarily signing up to participate, but the fact is that almost half of the cat owners present were enthusiastic, almost rushing to line up to go on stage.Xin Qin curled up in the corner with his good-for-nothing Pie Pan in his arms, and visited other people's cats with great interest.

Most of the cat's talent shows are very simple, such as jumping in circles, bowing, or lying down.There is a clever cat who can tell which hand of the owner has more snacks.The cats performed in a naive manner, and the applause continued.

Sparta was sitting upright next to Qin Qin, with his neck stretched out as much as possible, as if he was very interested.Looking at the back of its bulging head, Xinqin laughed silently.

It's a pity that this relaxed and wanton time will soon come to an end.Just when the host announced that the show had entered the last program, and Xin Qin thought that there would be no accidents, he suddenly heard Sparta's name.Eyes suddenly gathered from all directions to one person and one cat, and the pressure of hard work suddenly increased.Someone took the lead in applauding, and under the booing of the crowd, worked hard to bite the bullet and went onto the stage with Sparta in his arms.That taste seems to be back in the student days, being chosen by the teacher for a talent show and unable to refuse.

The host explained that for each theme event of the cat club, 5 minutes will be reserved for the new members to show off, mainly the talent show of the cats, and the owner can also briefly add the baby's story.

There was a moment of blankness in his hard-working mind, speaking in public was not his strong point.Sparta was still held in his arms, wagging his fur tail slowly, ignorant of the predicament at this time.Qin Qin took a deep breath secretly, gently placed Sparta on the display stand for the performance, touched its neck, and calmed the cihuamao's emotions.

The host handed over a microphone to signal him that the show could begin.

Hard work had no choice but to organize his words quickly, and said, "I'm very sorry, it happened so suddenly, we weren't very prepared. Uh..." There seemed to be a moment of commotion in the audience, but under the bright light, hard work couldn't see the stage The servant's expression didn't care too much.Sparta was still squatting under his palm, which was warm.Hardworking suddenly became less nervous.He continued: "This is the cat that came to my house. It is a garden cat, probably the most common native civet cat. I named it Sparta. But if I call him Dabing, he will also Very happy."

As if hearing his own name, Sparta sat up suddenly and rubbed his head against the palm of his hardworking hand, causing laughter from the audience.

"Before meeting me, Sparta was wandering in my community. One day, his paw was injured, and he was lying in the flowers alone. I found him and took him to the hospital to help him heal his paw. Later, he lived in my house. It's down. It's probably a very boring and ordinary story. I get along with it pretty well, maybe it's really fate.

It was originally a stray cat. I never had particularly high expectations for Sparta. I just hope that it can be healthy and happy. As a happy cat, there is no trouble every day.So sorry, I'm not much of a cat trainer, I didn't even know much about keeping a cat before I got it.Everyone is probably going to be disappointed today, we didn't prepare any programs.If it is really necessary, Sparta can only perform the skill of eagerly eating snacks. "

There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience.

"Cats are very mysterious creatures. They have different shapes, different breeds, and different personalities. They always make you unpredictable, as if their happiness and sorrow have nothing to do with you. As Master, it will inevitably be sad. But the consolation is that scientists are as ignorant as we are. So far, there are very few studies on cats, and the results are even rarer, because no cat is willing to cooperate, even if you are the smartest human being Scientists. I think to a large extent, cats may not want us to gain insight into their world, and they are not curious about human curiosity. They may have a very independent world, parallel to our perception of this world, is a A world full of magic. If my Sparta really lived in such a world, I would be happy for it. It is in its own way, living its life day by day, not in vain, and does not need I define it. Even though I don't know it, I'm still proud of it.

Today marks the third month and 20 days since Sparta came to me.Our story is very simple, and it will be so simple in the future.thank you all. "

Sparta didn't know why everyone looked at it and Miwu all of a sudden, and it couldn't understand what Miwu was saying, so it wanted to bite its own tail anxiously.Meow meow!What are we going to do!Why are they staring at us?Are they bullying you?

Xin Qin lowered his head and saw his raccoon cat pacing restlessly, purring.He reached out and stroked the cihuamao's head, comforting it silently.At this moment, Sparta suddenly leaned forward and stood up, grabbed his arm, moved his chin up, and lightly rubbed his hard-working lips, while a paw was still domineeringly patted on his cheek, as if He is not allowed to avoid it.

a kiss.

Miu, I'm here.

The cat owners in the audience let out a cry of envy and began to applaud.Among the crowd, Fang Jia was particularly excited, tears seemed to glisten in her eyes, she was so excited that she danced and slapped her palms red.

Hardworking pursed his lips and laughed.

The moment Xin Qin stepped out of the taxi with his cat bag in hand, the first snowflake just fell from the sky.So small, like a grain of dust, it dangles and swirls under the dim light, as if it will melt and disappear in the blink of an eye.Xin Qin raised his head and stared at it for a long time, until more and more snowflakes fell, and the whole black sky seemed to turn suddenly, and he realized that the first snow of today had arrived.

And winter really came.

Qin Qin took off his gloves and carefully carried Sparta out of the cat bag. "Baibing, look, it's snowing."

Sparta looked up, meow, there are so many catkins in the sky.Oh, no, is it snow?Sparta sneezed, struggling to run on the ground.He has not seen snow for a long time.Snowy days always reminded him of the time when pear trees shed their petals.

After working hard to feel the temperature of the ground, I felt that it was not very cold.Sparta seemed dejected, and meowed and sang in his arms.Qin Qin smiled, took out Sparta's leash, and put it on.

The moment Sparta's four paws hit the ground, he trot happily.The snow was still young, fell on the body, and soon disappeared.But he knows that as long as the snow keeps drifting for one night, the whole world will become colorless the next day.At that time, the bugs disappeared, the mice were quiet, and it seemed that he was the only cat left in the world.

Sparta looked back with some anxiety.Miwu was following closely behind him.Meow, no, I won’t be the only cat left in the world.Sparta shook his head, slowed down, and walked quietly on the way home.

Hardworking hummed softly.

He really likes you, like the wind has traveled eight thousand miles 1

Sparta walked ahead, holding up his big fluffy tail, his buttocks were swinging rhythmically from side to side, twisting and twisting, as if beating time for him.
