The days of being a cat in Japan

In the early morning of the new year, Xu Jie was woken up by the little fat man when he was in a drowsy sleep.

Lifting his head from Mo's arms, Xu Jie opened his apricot-core eyes with some confusion, and tried his best to focus on the little fat man's face.

After it woke up completely, Xu Jie found that Fujimoto's family were all dressed up in kimonos.

Looking at the eyes of the cat in the cat nest that finally became clear, the little fat man rubbed its fluffy head and said, "Great Sage, we are going to the temple to pray for blessings. You and Ah Zhong are already in the living room earlier." It’s ready for you guys, remember to eat it.”

Xu Jie turned his head and looked outside when he heard the words. They were going out before the sun rose?

However, thinking about the New Year worshiping temples to pray for blessings seems to be a tradition here in Japan, so Xu Jie opened his mouth wide and let out a sigh of relief with tears, wagging his tail to indicate to the little fat man that he understood, and then lay back on Mo's body and continued to sleep .

When it woke up, it found that Mo was surrounding it, and a big golden fur outside the cat's nest was poking its head towards the cat's nest.

Finding that Xu Jie woke up, Ah Zhong said to the two cats in the cat nest in a naive voice: "When you wake up, get up and have breakfast. Hei Yu said that the 'people' who stay at home for the first meal of the new year must be We have to get together and eat."

Hearing this, Xu Jie hurriedly crawled out of the cat's nest and looked at the quartz clock on the wall. It was almost eight o'clock, and it was already past their daily breakfast time.

With Ah Zhong's bottomless dog belly, he must be very hungry at this time, so it's really strange that he didn't wake him up but obediently waited outside the cat's nest.

What Xu Jie didn't know was that Ah Zhong, the golden retriever, had long wanted to wake him up for breakfast.It's just that the big black cat blocked the door of the cat's nest to prevent it from approaching. It stretched out its paws to push the great saint, but the black cat bared its teeth at it.

The ying ying ying was really scary, Wang had never seen such a fierce cat, no wonder Hei Yu kept telling it not to provoke that black cat.

Wang woo woo woo, Hei Yu is still nice to Wang, and after a while, Wang goes out to bask in the sun with Hei Yu on his back.

Xu Jie came out of the room to eat breakfast with his tail cocked and Mo Mo in his arms. At a door, he found the crow Heiyu taking a sand bath in its sand basin.

Seeing Xu Jie and the others come out, Hei Yu shook the sand on his body and jumped out of the sand basin and said: "On the first day of the new year, you have to take a bath. The master said that this will be auspicious for the next year, do you want to try it? "

Hearing this, Xu Jie shook his head repeatedly, asking the cat to take a bath, what a joke, if he wanted to clean himself, he and Mo would lick each other after breakfast.

Well, cats are such a hassle.

For feral cats, human holidays mean nothing to them.

The only benefit to these wild cats during the Chinese New Year is that there will be more food.

But I heard those humans say that the New Year is a time for family reunion, so Mo plans to take a holiday for himself on the first day of the New Year. Today he will not step on the territory, and the cat will be here to accompany his little raccoon.

After eating breakfast, Xu Jie and snuggle together to clean each other's bodies one bite at a time.

Ah Zhong didn't want to look at the two shiny ones, so he pushed the glass door open with his paws with Hei Yu on his back, and went to play in the small yard.

But Azhong and Heiyu didn't stay comfortably in the small yard for long, and soon seven or eight cats jumped up the fence of Fujimoto's house.

Ah Zhong knew some of these cats, such as Ah Wang and Tabby.But there are still some Ah Zhong doesn't know, such as the couple with round face and Tian Yuan.

These wild cats came to see what happened after they found out that the unshakable Mo Da hadn't come out to inspect the site today.

Although he knew that wild cats were not easy to mess with, Ah Zhong, as a watchdog, couldn't let these cats easily enter and leave his house, so the golden retriever, who had always been docile, barked at the wall.

Compared with the golden retriever Ah Zhong, the well-informed and well-informed Hei Yu knows a lot about the cat gang.

It raised its paws with ankle rings, lightly tapped the golden retriever's big head a few times and said, "Don't bark, Ah Zhong, these guys are the backbone of the cat gang, and they helped rescue the one upstairs. Corgi, remember?"

The golden-haired Ah Zhong stared at the bird's claws dangling on his big head with his eyes, and his eyes almost became cross-eyed.

Heiyu looked at the golden retriever whose eyes were about to disappear under his paws, and really had the urge to flap his head with his wings.

Awang didn't care what the black crow and the golden retriever were thinking. It stretched out the cat's head and looked in through the glass window, wanting to see if Mo was inside.

The cat's eyes were very sharp, and soon it saw Xu Jie and Mo who were basking in the sun on the window sill while licking each other's fur.

Seeing the pair leaning together, the sticky black hair with stripes mixed in, and the two with black hair sandwiched in the stripes, the corners of Awang's mouth twitched several times.

It's really silly, how could something happen to Mo, the reason why he didn't go out to step on the territory today is because he couldn't bear to leave a certain raccoon cat.

What do humans call this kind of thing, don't you be a fool?Wouldn't it be possible that Mo should learn from this that the king should not go to court early?

Concubine Xu Yaoshui Jie, beautiful and beautiful, was in Mo's arms. Hearing the noise from the other side of the yard, it shook its ears and raised its head, and saw a wall of cats with curious faces.

Xu Jie's limp cat's body stiffened for a moment, and Mo looked up at the wall when he saw this.

The cats of the cat gang immediately looked at the sky, looked at the ground, licked their paws, and licked other cats' paws if they couldn't lick their own paws.

I've seen it, I've seen it, the cat's face...

But those who celebrate the Chinese New Year can be regarded as guests, Xu Jie naturally can't let them squat on the wall.

So Xu Jie pushed away the cat's head stretched out by Mo, and said to the cat gang members on the wall with some guilt: "Happy Chinese New Year everyone, uh, I have good cat food and purified water here, everyone come down and eat some Bar."

As if to cover up his guilty conscience, he quickly ran to the locker to look through the high-end cat food that was just delivered last month.

Picking out a bag of cat food of each flavor, Xu Jie grabbed the bag and pulled it out forcefully.

But the combined weight of those bags of cat food was almost equal to Xu Jie's current weight. With his small body, how could he be able to drag it.

Seeing this, Mo came over to help, and when they worked together to take the cat food out, there was the sound of opening the door from the entrance, and the Fujimoto family, who had gone out early in the morning to pay their respects, came back.

The little fat man who ran in first, stood at the porch, looked at Xu Jie and Mo who were carrying out cat food, looked at the cats squatting on the wall, and suddenly realized: "My lord, those cats are here for you!" New Year's greetings? I'll open some cat cans for you, and you can take them out and treat them together."

Speaking of which, the little fat man didn't even change his kimono, so he got into the storage room to dig through canned food for the cat.

By the time the little fat man opened the canned cat food and pushed the door to the small yard, the members of the cat gang who had been invited had already jumped off the wall and were getting ready to eat in rows.

In order to come to find Mo, most of the cats in the cat gang have not had time to eat breakfast. Since there are cats willing to entertain them, the cats are also happy and relaxed.

A Zhong, the golden retriever, squatted aside, sticking out his tongue hahaha, watching a group of cats gather around cat food and canned cats to choose their favorite flavor under Xu Jie's introduction.

Walking over with a bag of beef-flavored cat food, Xu Jie gave half of the cat food and the remaining half to the golden retriever and asked: "Although I have already eaten breakfast, you want some snacks to try?" Do you want to taste it?"

Ah Zhong's sensitive nose smelled the smell of beef constantly drifting towards him, and the saliva in his mouth began to secrete involuntarily.

But as a trained pet dog, Ah Zhong first took a look at the little master who stayed in the yard.

Sister Junko said that a good dog will not eat what is given by outsiders.The hostess also explained that the dog cannot bully the cat at home because of its size, and cannot compete with the cat for food.

Although Azhong has always felt that he has the advantage in terms of body size, he really may not be able to take advantage of the cat.

But this time, the cat invited it to share the cat food, so there should be no problem, right?

Rubbing the head of her golden retriever, Jiantai agreed to the other party's request to taste the cat food.

After hooking up with the golden retriever, Xu Jie set his sights on Crow Heiyu again. He held a newly opened can of cat food to the crow and said, "Brother Heiyu, try it, the latest canned chicken cat food , all chicken legs are used in it, which tastes much better than the one with chicken breasts.”

Crows are omnivorous birds, and their diet includes various grain seeds, insects and other things, so a can of chicken and cats is still somewhat attractive to crows.

Seeing that everyone was eating, Hei Yu also let go of his reserve, and jumped in front of the canned chicken, first nodded to Xu Jie to express his gratitude, and then began to bow his head to eat the canned food.

Seeing that everyone started to bury their heads in eating, Xu Xinji Jie thought, these cats, dogs and birds should soon forget the picture of him sticking together with Mo if there is something to eat?

When the little fat man returned to the house, he was surprised to find that there were guests in the house, and these guests were familiar to him, they were the neighbors who lived upstairs.

The kind-hearted Fujimoto family has very good neighbors. They have lived here for more than ten years. Every year on the first day of the new year, neighbors will come to visit for New Year's greetings.

But looking at the various fruit snacks and rice cakes on the table, and looking at the various eating scenes of the cats, dogs and crows in the yard outside, the little fat man felt that he had realized the meaning of the New Year.

In addition to family reunions and gatherings with relatives and friends, another meaning of Chinese New Year is that you can eat and eat casually.

Holding a plate of rice cakes baked by his sister, wrapped in seaweed and dipped in some soy sauce, it smelled fragrant.It is smooth and soft in the mouth.

The little fat man squinted his eyes and attacked the whole plate of baked rice cakes. He knew that he didn't have to worry about someone saying that he was overweight for a while, and he asked himself to control his food intake. After all, it was Chinese New Year, so how could he not overeat.
