The Cat's Inheritance

In the end, Sparta failed to climb the tree to catch the sparrow.The sport of catching sparrows is too much effort, and when he hurried home, the sky had already started to turn its belly.If he didn't go back sooner, Miwu might wake up.If Miwu wakes up and can't find him, meow, that's no fun.

Sparta struggled to get in through the window that was opened last night. Just when he was about to jump off the window sill, he suddenly realized a very serious question: How should this window be closed?

All cats are good at creating problems, but solving them is beyond the scope of their knowledge.

Sparta squatted on the window sill, thinking hard for ten minutes, and finally panicked.There is no way for him to restore the window to its original state without being discovered by Miwu.Sparta was a little scared. He remembered Dai Mochi's advice. Most human beings would not let cats go out by themselves. After all, there are very few cats that are suitable for going out.What if Miwu gets angry because she thinks she is too naughty?I'm so wronged, meow.

Sparda struggled to rear up on his hind legs, trying to move the two windows closer to each other with his claws.Well, it seems to have some effect, but it doesn't help much.Just as he pouted his butt and tried his best to cover up the traces of his mistakes, he suddenly heard rustling noises from upstairs.

Oops, Miu woke up!

Sparta was stunned for two seconds before making a quick decision.He instinctively fled to his secret base - the gap between the sofa and the corner of the wall.In desperation, he forgot the function of the beard, and Sparta, who was already rounder than his original self, hurriedly squeezed his body into the gap to hide, halfway through the climb, his buttocks got stuck in the gap , unable to move back and forth.He flicked his tail helplessly, and heard the sound of meeping from far to near.

"Sparta?" Xin Qin woke up in the morning, but he didn't see the raccoon cat.I wasn't too worried at first, but recently Sparta likes to sleep alone.But after he finished washing, he didn't see Sparta running over, so he felt a little uneasy, so he went downstairs to look for it.

There is no living room.

With a chill in his heart, his voice trembled, "Sparta?" He quickly checked the doors and windows.Last night he clearly remembered that he had a check-up before going to bed, which was something he had to do every night.And now, the lock on one of the windows in the living room has not been fastened. Although the window and door are closed, it is not ruled out that Sparta will jump out of this window.Xin Qin opened the window and took a look at the terrain. After closing the window, he made a quick decision, grabbed his phone, put on his shoes, and planned to go out to find the cat.The moment he opened the door, he heard a faint meow.The hardworking heart suddenly settled down.

Hard work ended up finding Spartan's... ass in the corner of the couch.I don't know what he is going to do, I want to squeeze in such a small gap.Hardworking, angry and amused, carefully moved the sofa away and dragged out Sparta, who had collapsed into a cake.

Sparda buried his face under his front paws, not daring to look directly at his human.

Xin Qin carefully checked Sparta's body first, and after confirming that there were no signs of injury, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.He slumped on the ground, watching Sparta silently, neither speaking nor touching him.

One person and one cat sat quietly opposite each other for a while.Sparta finally couldn't help it, and meowed.

Hardworking didn't respond to him.

Sparta hurriedly raised his head from between his paws and glanced at the humans.Miwu didn't speak.He was a little flustered, got up silently and sat down, lowered his head and stared at his paws.

"Why didn't you make a sound when I called you just now? It's obviously stuck, why didn't you ask me for help?" Xin Qin finally spoke.His tone was calm, but lower than usual.Sensitive cats can easily perceive human emotions from these small changes.Sparta raised his head, as if he didn't hear it, he looked left and right, his eyes wandering.Qin Qin almost laughed out loud, but quickly held back.This behavior of cats, although it seems particularly insincere or playful, often means that they have realized their mistakes and are introspecting.Looking at Sparta's calm appearance, it is hard for Qin Qin to continue to be angry.In fact, after he confirmed that Sparta was intact, he was already out of breath.

It was quiet again for a while.Sparta turned his head secretly, thinking that he was hiding well, turned his head away, and squinted at the humans with sideways eyes.Seeing that Miwu didn't respond, he quietly returned to his body, stretched out his left paw, and gently hooked the human's paw.Miwu still didn't speak.Sparda licked his lips and continued to pat him with his paw.Miu, I'll learn how to close the windows next time.Alas, if I knew it earlier, it would be better to catch the sparrow. Maybe Miwu would not be angry with me after eating the sparrow.Then again, why is Miwu so angry?

Hardworking sighed.It's not necessarily that Sparta sneaked out by himself. Could it be that I forgot to check again?Spartan's claws are dirty, but that may have been from getting under the couch too.He suddenly remembered the mochi in the clinic, and he seemed to be able to go out by himself.Let's increase the frequency of Sparta's physical examination later, and ask Dr. Dai by the way.Thinking of this, Qin Qin finally smiled and reached out to touch Sparta's head. "Stretch out your claws, and I'll wipe them for you."

Sparta stretched out his paw happily, and was hugged by Miwu.He was placed face up on Miwu's lap, and sat up with his back against Miwu.This position is actually quite comfortable.Sparda relaxed and brushed the tip of his tail lightly.

After diligently wiping Sparta's four paws clean with a wet towel, he planned to trim his nails before picking up the nail clippers. He suddenly thought, wouldn't it be very cool if Sparta was outside without sharp nails? Easily bullied.With this in mind, Qin Qin decided not to cut it. "It's uncomfortable, you can find a scratching post to scratch yourself, you know?" He stroked Shunsparta's ear with the palm of his hand, "But don't scratch the sofa, look at what the sofa scratched for you."

meow.

"Little silly cat."

Although in the eyes of hard work, Sparta is silly from time to time, but the silly Sparta will finally go to high school and become a rare and learned member of the cat race.Limited by teaching conditions and individual cat abilities, there are very few cats who can pass junior high school, so the classroom size of high school is almost one-third smaller than that of junior high school, and only four or five students attend classes together in each class.

Sparta accidentally learned that the onion buns did not pass the junior high school graduation exam, and they were preparing for the re-examination.This made Sparta a little proud. I really am the smarter one.If he fails the re-examination, he will need to retake the junior high school courses.The cost of rebuilding is very high. If most cats fail to pass a certain stage of study, they will choose to give up directly.

Meow, it's almost time for the onion buns to be in junior high school. He has already taken over the human race, so he doesn't need to think too much about it, and don't even think about grabbing Miwu.Sparta thought without any psychological pressure.

However, on the first night after school started, Sparta deeply felt the new feeling brought by high school study.Different from the entertaining teaching in junior high school, high school learning is easy to understand, and pays more attention to the improvement of knowledge system and the cultivation of practical ability. In short, the requirements for students are also higher.This made Sparta, who passed the elementary school and junior high school in a low-key manner, a little unprepared.But now he is no longer two years old and weighs eight pounds.In the face of challenges, Sparta is full of confidence and high morale.

The other subjects are learned before, and Sparta has a certain foundation.But the vocal class is a brand new experience for Sparta.The teacher of the vocal music class is a chocolate-colored Birman cat named Coco, whose melody is particularly melodious.She taught students how to make more beautiful calls, controlling the tone and frequency, so that the cat's meow is no longer monotonous, but as beautiful as a song.Teacher Ke Ke also taught students how to harmonize or sing in harmony with human music through multimedia courseware.Sparta quickly developed a strong interest in this course and quickly put it into practice.

Xin Qin found that his raccoon cat has been very interested in his guitar recently, and would often squat on the shelf where he put the guitar, staring at him motionlessly until he took the guitar off.If Xinqin started playing and singing with his guitar in his arms, Sparta would obediently lie beside him, squint his eyes, and listen to his singing with great interest.When I hear something happy, I will meow along with the beat, as if making harmony for him.

Hard work is puzzling, can cats evolve musical talent by themselves?He searched a lot of videos about cats singing on the Internet, some of which seemed far-fetched, while others were really unbelievable.So, is his Spartan also a cat with musical dreams?

In any case, as long as Sparta likes it, Hardworking is generally willing to cooperate.He also specially recorded a video of Sparta singing with him and posted it on the Internet, which aroused heated discussions.

In the video, the little hands who work hard to play and sing the slow version hold big hands.Sparta was sitting on the cat stand beside him, with his paws folded on his chest, his eyes closed, and the tip of his tail flicked and tapped, and he would meow at every knot, the coordination was perfect.After a song, Qin Qin put up his palms and said to Sparta, "Hi-five to celebrate."

Sparta slowly opened his eyes, tilted his head to look at the human paw for a while, then slowly put his own paw on it, and licked his lips.Miwu also sang very well today.

"What about Sparta, singing folk songs doesn't seem to have much of a future now, do you want to try hip-hop style? Come on, put your gold chain on straight. Being a cat requires a bit of hip-hop spirit."

"Meow~"

——Neuropathy hahahahaha

— yo yo yo what's this dabing for homie from cats city listen up!

- I think it's ok

With the full help of Miwu, Sparta's performance in the vocal music class was a blockbuster, and he soon ranked among the best, becoming a top student who attracted the attention of teachers.Although the progress is something to be proud of, a new situation has emerged in Sparta: he is biased.

This problem of partiality is actually very common.Every cat has its own areas of expertise and areas of weakness. To teach students in accordance with their aptitude is to not be limited to rules and regulations, and to reduce cats' talents in an eclectic manner.However, since the education system is based on examination and review, it is inevitable that there will be strategic problems in order to advance to higher education.

Sparta is good at learning human language and vocal music, but cat language and drama, which he learned well before, gradually lag behind other students in the class because of the increased difficulty after entering school.The high school graduation exam is not a single choice like before. As long as the students score enough, they can smoothly enter the next stage of study.After graduating from high school, high school students can choose their favorite majors to continue their studies, but universities also have the right to judge whether they need such students based on their performance in high school and graduation exams.Therefore, if a student reveals problems such as partial subjects and slow learning in his usual academic performance, it is likely to affect his entry into advanced fields of study.

And the goal of Sparta, human language, is the most difficult of all subjects for cats.

Sparta was in a hurry, and finally found Maotoujun Dai Mochi.Sparta was embarrassed to ask a partial question directly, and specially picked a less difficult question. "By the way, Mochi, one night I sneaked out to participate in social practice activities. When I came back, I was almost discovered by Miwu. I remember you said before that humans don't like us running around, but I don't understand why he Don't you look happy?"

Dai Mochi yawned and said: "This is very simple. Because in human cognition, cats have no way to judge what is beneficial and what is harmful. If a domestic cat sneaks out of the house, if it is not careful, Accidents are likely to happen, such as being hit by a car, or being bitten by other animals, or eating something that shouldn't be eaten and getting sick. Even some cats may get lost or playful after going out, and never come back The original human is around, which will make the human being who loves him feel sad. Of course, if you can restrain yourself, know how to be responsible for yourself and human beings, avoid these problems, go to the doctor for regular checkups, and it is quite interesting to be able to patrol outside Yes. For example, it is best to choose to go out during the day, and there are more strange animals at night. In case of an accident, there are very few humans who can ask for help. Then control the time of going out within the length acceptable to humans, and let them know that you are sure Will come back. Of course, the most important thing is that you have to convince your humans that you are a smart and responsible cat. A responsible cat will never let your humans worry.”

Sparta held his paws, well, it makes sense.Then I will have a good communication with Miwu in the future, I will be responsible to him, and I will not abandon him easily.

Dai Moshu babbled and shared a lot of his own experience, and told Sparta to write down his notes.

Sparta stared at the sofa that seemed to be wearing a sweater coat, but said nothing.I also thought about how to bring the topic to a side subject.Before he decided to start the topic, he greeted politely, "Mochi, looking at you like this, you must have taken some subjects when you were young, right?"

Mochi wrinkled her nose in confusion, huh?

Sparta turned his head in embarrassment, and looked away. "What do you do when you're partial?"

Dai Moshu finally understood, it turned out that this kid was partial to science.He remembered that when he was in high school, his grades were still very stable. Both courses were class representatives, and he finally passed the class No.1 without any suspense.Because of his good grades, he is often asked by the teacher to guide underachievers, so he is very experienced in dealing with elementary school scum like Sparta who often goes into trouble. "First of all, you have to think about it, why are you biased?"

Sparda shook his ears.Is there a reason for the partiality?

"Of course, before the cat solves the problem, it must think carefully and ask the source, so that it can be targeted and break through the problem in a targeted manner."

Sparta pressed his neck humbly, but didn't understand.

"Well, to put it simply, you have to know why you can't do well in order to improve and do well."

Oh, I understand, but I don't know why I can't learn well.I feel like I'm working super hard.Sparta tried to show Dai Mochi the scarred sofa under his buttocks.

Dai Mochi waved his paw, "Effort is not important, and it's useless if you go in the wrong direction. You have to ask yourself first, are you interested in partial subjects?"

Interested too!Like drama, Sparta used to like it very much. Every time he can play with a cat for a long time, sometimes he will play with Miwu to accompany him.But when I was in high school, I couldn't find the feeling of liking when I was studying drama before.High school has a lot of theory and it's not fun at all.

"Look, if you think about it carefully, you can still analyze the reasons for your failure. You think you are interested, but what you just said just confirms that your interest is disappearing. Why? Because this subject There is no way to bring you happiness anymore. You are not motivated enough to learn, so you can’t learn well. Once you can’t learn well, you will feel even worse about learning, and you will not be able to learn even more. This is a vicious circle.”

Sparda's eyes widened.Although I don't understand it, it makes sense. "Then what should I do?"

Dai Mochi scratched his neck.In fact, he is not very sure what to do, who has never encountered the trouble of not being able to learn.So, he pretended to be very deep, and asked Sparta seriously: "You should ask yourself this question first, and after thinking about it, I will tell you the answer, so that you can have a deeper understanding."

Oh - Sparta suddenly realized, it makes sense.Then I have to think about it.He sat upright, raised his head, and began to think seriously.His thoughts drifted from the meow upstairs to tomorrow's breakfast, and then from the breakfast to the sparrow he hadn't caught yet, and then he thought of Shu Ke telling him two days ago that the grassroots activities of sending education to the lower class were in full swing. Bean buns and steamed buns reconciled, and they took over a human being together... Disorder's thoughts were wandering, and he went around and returned to himself.Yes, I have to think about it.

Sparta was lost in thought.

After a while, he raised his head and said to Dai Mochi, "I know!"

Dai Mochi was very happy, put down his half-licked paw, and asked, "Tell me about it."

"I don't take subjects that I decide I can't get into."

Dai Mochi nodded his head and suddenly froze.Um?He originally thought that after Sparta came up with a solution by himself, he would help him to make the plan more perfect. To learn this kind of thing, you can only study hard, and there is no shortcut.But what he thought was pretty good, but what conclusion did Sparta draw.

Dai Mochi stammered and asked, "What do you mean? Don't you want to go to college?"

"Of course not!" Sparta puffed up his chest, "I think that a cat's energy is limited, how can the limited energy be devoted to unlimited learning? Therefore, a smart cat should know that it should What to do, put the most time and energy into the thing that should be done the most. As for other things, give up as soon as you can, or invest less appropriately. In this way, I can better adjust my study plan, so as not to You're blind at both ends. Hehe, I just used a human language phrase, I'm too good."

Dai Mochi pondered for a long time, then hesitated and said: "The truth sounds very correct, but how do you judge how far you should give up? Because in terms of the current education system, it is absolutely impossible to give up completely. If you prefer If the subject is too serious, it will also affect your choice of major in university in the future.”

Sparta flicked his tail, "I'm very smart, I'm sure I can come up with a good learning plan. I think I really like cat language and drama. But for these two, I'm sure I won't have too much in the future." If you get involved more, it’s fine as a hobby. Then I just need to make sure that in high school, these two subjects will not be at the bottom or fail, and I don’t need to put too much psychological pressure on myself. As far as I am currently As far as the learning progress is concerned, it is only slightly behind the middle-level students. I just need to pay more attention. It doesn’t matter if I climb to the middle-level. Human language is my strong point and my future direction. If I can be more proficient, For the application, it must be helpful. I am really a cat with ideas."

Dai Mochi thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a strong rebuttal. He had to admit that Sparta is actually a very smart cat.

Knowing the trade-offs is the way to success, meow.
