The days of being a cat in Japan

In the small bungalow in the warehouse behind the middle school playground in the cold night, two fluffy cats were sleeping soundly in the cat nest.

A gust of cold wind blew by, shaking the branches a few times.

Most of the chill was kept out of the walls, only a sliver of cold wind blew in through the cracks in the glass along the broken windows.

Xu Jie, who was nestled inside, shook his body in his sleep, and opened his eyes in a daze.

Ever since he drank too much rice wine and spent an absurd night in his cat's nest, Xu Jie felt that the adults, children and two other animals in the house looked at him and Mo strangely.

But if you want to say what is wrong with it specifically, Xu Jie can't say it.

Xu Jie guessed that it was probably because it barked too loudly after drinking too much that day, so that everyone in the house who could breathe could hear it. Otherwise, why did Jiantai, that little fat man, moan at him every day, as if he was going to marry his daughter.

Annoyed and angry, Xu Jie swung his forelegs and hugged Mo and gave him a meowing punch. Then he felt too embarrassed and decided to stay out at night.

Xu Jie, who was patronizing and ashamed and angry, now has no IQ to speak of. Originally, it was because it made too much noise when making out with Mo, which made everyone in the family look at it.This time, he stayed out of the night a few more times, and the rumors were immediately confirmed.

However, Xu Jie, who had already turned into a cat, didn't have time to think about it so much. Anyway, it would be fine as long as it least saw those weird eyes.

So tonight, Mo and Xu Jie spent the night at the school's nest.

As expected when Mo picked the cat's nest, after the school began to provide hot water intensively in winter, the wall near the boiler turned into a natural heater.

As long as the boiler is not extinguished, the wall will always be warm.

The hot water supply in the school is the doorman uncle, who wakes up at 7 o’clock every morning, lights up the boiler that has been kept on fire overnight, and adds new water to boil for the teachers and children in the school.

And after school in the afternoon, after the children and teachers in the school are off work, the doorman will temporarily extinguish the boiler to get out the ashes inside.

After cleaning, the boiler will be re-ignited, and the small flame will burn slowly all night, until the next morning when the uncle of the doorman lights it up, it will burn violently to heat the new water on it.

In this way, except for the time when the guard cleans the boiler, the wall near the boiler will be hot at other times.

For wild cats, this is already a very good living environment, so Mo and Xu Jie's nest is an existence that everyone envies in the cat gang.

This was the first time that Xu Jie and Mo spent the night here this winter. In the early morning, the short-haired raccoon flower, who was afraid of the cold, was still woken up by the occasional cold wind.

In a daze, Xu Jie stretched out his paws to touch the warm wall beside him, but the temperature of the paws was not cold.

This is also something that can't be helped. No one drinks water in the middle of the night, so the doorman will naturally not let the stove burn too hot.Barely leave some flames, enough to start the fire tomorrow morning.

Sensing the movement of Xu Jie beside him, Mo immediately came to his senses, those extraordinarily bright golden cat eyes blinked in the dark night, then Mo asked Xu Jie in a low voice: "Ajie, what's wrong?"

Hearing that Xu Jie rolled around in the cat's nest, he pressed his head against the ink on his chest and said, "The wind blows and my back feels cool."

Mo Wenyan stood up, pushed Xu Jie against the wall, waited until one side of his body leaned against the wall, and then covered Xu Jie's quilt with his long fur.

Burying himself in Mo's fur, Xu Jie touched Mo's fur with his paw enviously and said, "It's better to have longer hair, because I'm not afraid of the cold in winter."

Mo Wenyan rubbed his cheek against Xu Jie's forehead and said, "It's not cold in winter, but it's not so good in summer."

While they were talking, the whirling little north wind blew in from the broken glass window again, making Xu Jie, who was afraid of the cold, shrink his neck and burrow into Mo's cat fur.

Mo arched his body as far as possible, so that Xu Jie could have more room to sleep, and planned to add a thick blanket to the nest tomorrow.

Now Xu Jie's whole cat has got under Mo's belly, only one head is exposed.It didn't get out from under Mo's belly until his body was finally warmed up, and leaned against the warm wall to keep warm.

Mo very consciously turned his self-consciousness to the past, and used his little raccoon flower as a warm baby.

Xu Jie, who was finally not cold, suddenly remembered a rumor he heard a few days ago, so he leaned on Mo's ear and said: "Mo heard that the school will replace the old equipment after the spring, and the sparrow said It was mentioned by the doorman when he was chatting with others that our water room is also under renovation plan. He said that the current boiler is going to be replaced with an electric heating water tank that automatically boils water. The doorman is very happy I finally don’t have to boil water, and I will lose one job in the future. If this is the case, won’t our little nest here be warm in winter?”

Mo Wenyan moved his body, covered his little raccoon more firmly, and then said: "It's okay, if that's really the case, we will live in another place in winter, and keep the summer here." Time to come and escape the heat."

Xu Jie was a little nervous when he heard the words. He suddenly felt that being a cat seems to be much happier than being a human. This kind of domineering that the whole city is full of my nest, and I can live wherever I want is really great.

As a little lazy cat, Xu Jie can always fall asleep quickly if conditions permit.

This is not talking to Mo, Xu Jie is sleepy and slowly falls asleep.

Early the next morning, against the cold morning air, Xu Jie and Mo got out of the small warehouse of the bungalow.

Standing on the road where there were not many people, Mo vomited white steam and asked Xu Jie, "Ajie, what do you want to eat this morning? Shall we go back to Fujimoto's house, or go out to find something to eat?"

Xu Jie, whose back was turned up by the cold air in the morning, said, "Stop running around in such a cold day, let's go back to the doctor's for breakfast."

Mo Wenyan agreed, so Xu Jie, who hadn't come home at night, found out after returning home that his family seemed to be looking at it even more strangely.

While Xu Jie and Mo were eating breakfast in front of their dinner plates, several wild dogs were vying for a hard-won food in an abandoned carport in the west of the city.

The wild dog at the head seemed not to want to share the food with the other companions, and bared its sharp teeth, threatening the companions around it to hurry up.

The other wild dogs around seemed unwilling to give up the food just like that, and most of them wandered around the dog with their tails dragging.

Seeing this situation, the wild dog protecting the food was not only threatening, it actually lowered its head and turned its tail upwards, assuming an attacking posture.

The other wild dogs were startled when they saw this, they knew very well that they were no match for the wild dog, so they had to disperse one after another to make way for the wild dog.

The wild dog that successfully snatched the food, under the watchful eyes of many companions, left triumphantly with the food in its mouth and head held high.

After the dog had gone far away, the other wild dogs got together again, and one of them said: "Laipi is really getting too much, the food that everyone sees together, why can it only be eaten by it?" A dog? We're starving too."

Another older wild dog heard the words and said: "Oh, the dog gang is really getting worse day by day. We used to own half of the county, but now we don't even have a quarter of it. It was alright when we were at home, at least everyone was still able to eat their stomachs. Now it’s Lai Pi, that guy only cares about himself and never cares about other dogs. Most of the food we found these days was all eaten by Lai Pi and his paws. The few dog legs in the house were eaten, and if this goes on, we will all starve to death."

A rogue Chuan Chuan who was relatively small and had no bloodliness sneered at the words and said: "At the beginning, I saw that Lai Pi was restless and kind, and he tried his best to instigate everywhere, using the power of the cat gang After injuring the old and disabled, they are driving away. It is for the benefit of everyone. It sounds good. Now that you are in power, do you think there is still a little bit of everyone in its eyes? In summer and autumn, there is enough food. Although it snatches food, I am angry, but I can bear it, but now that food is so hard to find, Lai Pi and the few around him have to eat every meal, they are full, but we can't live anymore."

The older wild dog was silent for a while and then said: "I want to quit the dog gang and go to the cat gang's territory to make a living."

Chuan Chuan, who was smaller in stature, said in surprise, "Are you crazy? How many times have we fought with the cat gang? One of your dogs is not enough for them to scratch."

Hearing the words, the old dog shook the dry and dull fur on his body and said: "Actually, I have already had this idea, but I just said it today. I have already asked the bird to inquire about it in advance. It was said early in the morning that as long as the wild dogs who have left the dog gang are willing to keep their own place, there will be a place for us to forage during the day on the cat gang. Many of those guys who were kicked out by Raipi because of their old age and infirmity are now Settling down on the site designated by the cat gang, it is said that life is very good, so I also want to go there and give it a try."

Chuan Chuan heard the words and looked at his shriveled belly, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with you too, anyway, it's already like this, maybe there's still a way out of here, stay here with a sloppy temper, it won't be long before I There is only one skin left."

The string of words resonated with the rest of the dogs, and some wild dogs who were unwilling to be exploited simply took this opportunity and said: "Why do you want us to go? If we want to go, Lai Pi and his henchmen will leave. We take advantage of this opportunity to leave." Opportunity, work together to drive away the rascals, so that we can live a good life again without them dominating our heads."

The dog's words seemed to give the rest of the wild dogs a way out, and the anger caused by hunger ignited raging anger in the hearts of these wild dogs.

As a result, an action against exploitation was quickly launched among the West City Dog Gang.
