The days of being a cat in Japan

On Sunday, the weather outside was very nice.

For people who work in units and go to school, Sunday is a rare day for them to relax after continuous work and study.

But for the Fujimoto family, which runs their own shop, this day is no different from usual.

On the contrary, because other people are on vacation and have time to take the pets at home to see a doctor or do styling, the business in the store becomes busy because of Sunday.

At noon, Junzi and Xiaopangzi came to the store to have lunch. After lunch, they did their homework on the quieter third floor, while Xu Jie and Mo held their own The toy ran down from the second floor.

In the rare fine weather in winter, Xu Jie didn't want to just nap in the house like this.

So the two cats took their toys and ran to the open space in front of the shop to play.

It was still Xu Jie's favorite catch and toss, and the cheerful jingle of jingling bells soon rang on the sidewalk where there were not many pedestrians.

Mrs. Fujimoto, who had just had lunch, held the door frame and took a look outside. Seeing the cats playing beside them in a well-behaved manner, she turned around and went back into the shop after not getting in the way.

While the two cats were having fun, suddenly a large object was thrown towards them from the position behind Xu Jie.

With a snap, the thing fell beside Xu Jie, and Xu Jie was so scared that all the balls in his mouth fell to the ground.

The two cats glanced at the place where they threw their things, and only had time to see the back of one who was running away in a hurry.

The figure was not tall, with a hat and mask, a black down jacket on his upper body, and a pair of dark pants on his lower body.

That's all the cats saw. The man ran very fast and disappeared at the entrance of the street in a few seconds.

Because the thing thrown by that person didn't hit Xu Jie, so Mo didn't chase after him. He just moved to Xu Jie's side and rubbed his body against his little raccoon to comfort his frightened heart.

After rubbing against each other, Xu Jie secretly scolded in his heart those guys who threw trash casually immoral, and at the same time couldn't help being curious to see what that person threw over.

Seeing Xu Jie, he was taken aback, only to see that what that person threw over was actually a piece of fried fish.

The fish piece was huge, at least one-third of Xu Jie's body length, fried on both sides until golden, exuding a tempting smell.

Since the head and tail of the fish block were removed, Xu Jie couldn't tell what kind of fish it was.

However, since he became a domesticated animal, Xu Jie has developed a problem, that is, he will not eat the food that is not fed by the Fujimoto family and Dahei.

The aroma of the fried fish soon diffused in the air, and the cats circled around the piece of fried fish several times, Xu Jie's mouth stimulated by the aroma began to salivate.

Mo lowered his head and sniffed the piece of fried fish, and came to the answer that it was just a very ordinary piece of fried fish, and there was nothing special about it.

Xu Jie couldn't figure it out now, what's the difference between throwing fried fish cubes at a cat and beating a dog with meat buns? Who would be so stupid?

Mrs. Fujimoto, who couldn't hear the bell outside, came out to check the situation. As soon as she opened the door, she found that the two cats in the house were not playing.Instead, he squatted on the ground and pawed at something with his paws, as if he was very interested.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fujimoto opened the door and walked over. From a distance, she could clearly see a fried fish under the paws of the cats.

After approaching, Mrs. Fujimoto knelt down and began to examine the fried fish carefully.

Soon Mrs. Fujimoto, who often cooks in the kitchen, judged that this piece of fried fish whose head and tail had been deliberately removed belonged to horse-faced fish.

After Mrs. Fujimoto, who knew the habits of cats, came to this conclusion, she immediately became nervous.

She even stretched out her hand to pry Xu Jie's mouth open, and at the same time asked anxiously: "This is a horse-faced fish, Dasheng, you didn't eat it, did you?"

In order to avoid being pushed away by Mrs. Fujimoto, Xu Jie hurriedly shook his head and said no.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fujimoto picked up the fried fish piece of the horse-faced fish and checked it by herself. She found that it was complete and there were no traces of cats chewing on it, so she was relieved.

But thinking about the possible consequences of the thing she was carrying in her hand, once it was eaten by the cat, Mrs. Fujimoto couldn't help but get angry.

So the lady called her cats home, and while carrying the piece of horse-faced fish, she stepped up to the second floor and complained to her husband: "These guys are getting more and more The more unreliable it is, the cats are actually fed with horse-faced fish. Fortunately, our Dasheng and Dahei are smart and did not eat food given by outsiders, otherwise there might be trouble."

Hearing this, the doctor frowned and looked at the things his wife was carrying in her hands. Thinking about the raw squid that his raccoon cat suddenly brought over to show him yesterday, the doctor felt a bad feeling in his heart.

This kind of thing happened twice in a row within two days, and the things used were obviously aimed at cats. Could this not be a coincidence, but someone did it on purpose?

With this in mind, Dr. Fujimoto told his wife about the discovery of raw squid yesterday.

Mrs. Fujimoto couldn't believe it when she heard the words. The cats in her family were sensible and cute. They never caused troubles or caused any trouble to their owners and neighbors.

Such a well-behaved and lovable cat, how could someone maliciously needle them?Doesn't make sense at all?

Faced with his wife's doubts, Mr. Fujimoto sighed secretly. As a pet doctor for many years, he has much more knowledge in this area than his wife.

So he knows that some people choose to hurt not because of likes or dislikes at all, they just want to do something to vent, and then those who are in a weak position and have no ability to fight back become punching bags.

However, regardless of whether it is a problem suspected by the doctor, Mr. Fujimoto still feels that he should be careful in the current situation.

So he said to his wife: "Lihui, no matter whether others have bad intentions this time or we are overwhelmed, it is always right to be careful. These days, let's take care of Dasheng and let him stay at home obediently Or the store, don’t let it go out. As for the big black cat, it’s best to let it wear it at home. If it has to go out, you should explain the matter clearly to them, so that the cat must be careful.”

Mrs. Fujimoto agreed with her husband, and then Xu Jie and Mo Er were called to the consultation room on the second floor.

Mr. Fujimoto briefly told the two cats about his doubts, and Xu Jie immediately thought of the bag of liqueur chocolates wrapped in pink.

So Xu Jie stood up immediately, pointing at the Fujimoto couple with his two front paws.

Looking at the raccoon cat twisting and jumping towards them, the Fujimoto couple guessed together for a long time, and then when Xu Jie pointed to alcohol and then pointed to a dark brown pill that looked like chocolate, they guessed what it was going to say Liquor chocolate.

"So that bag of liqueur chocolates was also given by a caring person?" Mrs. Fujimoto asked.

Xu Jie nodded when he heard the words, it was so skeptical, otherwise people with a bit of common sense would know that cats and dogs can't eat chocolate, how could someone who is a cat fan give this kind of thing.

Back home that night, Mrs. Fujimoto found the bag of liqueur chocolates and wanted to take it out and throw it away, but Mr. Fujimoto stopped her.

The doctor looked at the liqueur chocolates in the bag and said: "There are not many liqueur chocolates in this kind of packaging in our county. Wait for me to find a time to ask, maybe I can get some information from the sales store."

So this bag of chocolates was temporarily left behind.

But before the doctor went out with the chocolate to ask, Xu Jie had another problem.

It was Tuesday morning, and Xu Jie, who had just gotten out of bed, went to the small yard for morning exercises on a whim.

But before it stretched its arms and legs, a package of things was thrown in from the outside along the courtyard wall of Fujimoto's house.

The package was not tightly bound, so it scattered in mid-air, and the things in the paper package fell into the small courtyard of Fujimoto's house like a celestial maiden scattered flowers.

Xu Jie was frightened by these things falling from the sky and walked around the yard several times before finally hiding behind Mo.

Then it stretched out its head and looked out, and found that several dead mice were thrown in.

How is this going? ? ? ?Xu Jie's head was full of question marks.

Mo guarded Xu Jie behind him, lowered his head and sniffed the dead mice, his eyes widened in an instant.

Mo stood up quickly, pushed Xu Jie into the room with his paws, and said while pushing: "These mice were all poisoned to death, little raccoon, go back to the room immediately and don't come out, I've already remembered If you smell that person's scent, chase after him and have a look."

In the end, Mo felt that Yong was pushing too slowly, so he picked up Xu Jie and sent him back to the house.

Mr. Fujimoto, who came out to eat breakfast, found two cats in the house, one with fried hair and the other meowing in his mouth. He asked in puzzlement, "What's the matter with you, are the couples arguing?"

Mo Wenyan gently put Xu Jie on the ground, pushed him into the room, and then chased him out with his tail flicking.

Xu Jie turned over from the floor, hugged Mr. Fujimoto's thigh, meowed anxiously, and pointed to the small yard outside with his paw.

Seeing this, Mr. Fujimoto opened the door and walked out, and immediately found the dead mice that had fallen in the yard.

He knelt down and inspected it carefully, and quickly judged that all these rats were poisoned to death with rat poison before being thrown in from the outside.

If a cat eats a mouse poisoned to death by rat poison, what will happen to it will not be expressed too much.

So after Dr. Fujimoto found these dead mice, he took out his mobile phone without hesitation and called the police immediately.

After the police received the report, it didn't take long to catch the guy who threw the dead mouse into the yard by calling the surveillance.

The prisoner was a middle-aged man in his early 40s. After he was brought into the police station by the police, he first denied that he had done anything to murder the cat.

Later, under the strong evidence of monitoring and fingerprints, he had to admit that he wanted to poison the cat of the Fujimoto family.

Seeing that he was recruited, the police officer in charge of the interrogation couldn't help frowning and asked: "Mr. Yamamoto, as far as I know, you have no enmity with the Fujimoto family. You didn't know each other before, and that cat never caused you any harm." Trouble, why do you insist on poisoning it?"

The middle-aged man surnamed Yamamoto first talked about him when he heard the words, but later he saw that it was too perfunctory, so he said unwillingly: "I just can't see the arrogance of the Fujimoto family, you don't know their family That cat, go out and pretend to be stupid in the shopping mall for three days, and you can get 500 million yen. Why, we guys may not be able to earn such an income after working hard for a year. Their family Relying on a stupid cat in less than three days, do you think it's fair? I'm just too angry and just impulsive."

The two police officers glanced at each other, and then the older one taught the middle-aged man: "Everyone has his own way of life, you can't poison others just because you are jealous of them living better than you." Pets, this is very unethical."

The middle-aged man nodded and bowed again and again and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Police Officer, what you said is too right. I have fully realized my mistake, and I will never make it again."

On the other hand, when they learned that the prisoner who threw dead mice into the yard was caught, the Fujimoto couple deliberately postponed the opening of the store today and waited for news from the police station at home.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the police station called Mr. Fujimoto.

Then Mrs. Fujimoto heard her husband say to the phone: "Yes, I am Hiroyo Fujimoto, why did you release that man?"

The police officer on the other side of the phone said helplessly at this time: "Mr. Fujimoto, what Mr. Yamamoto wants to hurt is your cat instead of people. We are also very embarrassed about this. If your cat is really hurt , then you can ask him for some compensation, but now your cat is safe and sound, so even the Anti-Cruelty to Animals Law cannot apply to him, so in addition to criticizing education and adding some fines, There is no other way of punishment."

Mr. Fujimoto took a deep breath when he heard the words, and then said: "Then I understand, please trouble Mr. Officer..."

After another short communication for a while, Mr. Fujimoto hung up the phone, and Mrs. Fujimoto immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is that person released?"

Doctor Fujimoto said with a sullen face: "Well, the police station said that our great sage is fine, so they couldn't find the terms of punishment. After adding that guy's confession attitude after he went in, he was fine, so he was fined and let him out. gone."

Mrs. Fujimoto was very dissatisfied and said: "How can this be, that guy has tried to hurt the Great Sage many times."

Dr. Fujimoto rubbed his head and said, "I know, but what charges were used to arrest him? Did he attempt to murder the cat? Do you think it is possible to sentence that person to three years, five years, or even life imprisonment for this charge? Can the judge Agree?"

After hearing the words, Mrs. Fujimoto was speechless. After a while, she bent down and hugged Xu Jie, stroking Xu Jie's smooth fur and said: "My poor saint, I have suffered such a great grievance, but I can't even make a point of reasoning." No. Good cat, don’t be afraid, I’ll cook fish soup for you tonight.”

Because it has already been dealt with by the police, the Fujimoto couple thought that this matter was over.

So the couple simply packed up their things, took Xu Jie out and prepared to drive to their shop.

When the couple arrived at the parking lot, they found a short middle-aged man in a black down jacket and dark pants watching them from the opposite side of the parking lot.

Seeing that person's attire, Mr. Fujimoto immediately remembered the police officer's description of the man who poisoned the Great Sage on the phone, and almost instantly he was sure that this person was him.

The man put his hands in his pockets and stared at Xu Jie intently. When he found that Mr. Fujimoto was also looking at him, he smiled at them.

That smile was presumptuous and full of malice, without the slightest remorse or apology in it.
