The days of being a cat in Japan

In early February, the coldest days of the year have begun to pass.

Although it was not yet time for the ice and snow to melt and everything to recover, the temperature outside began to rise slowly little by little.

This morning, Mo went out to inspect the territory as usual, and Xu Jie was still lying on the old position of the cat climbing frame in the living room, lazily basking in the sun.

Under the cat climbing frame, a big golden retriever and a little yellow chicken are happily playing their games.

I don’t know how these two guys with huge size differences made friends. In short, the boat of friendship between Ah Zhong and Noisy started sailing as soon as it sailed.

In order to take care of his little friends, the big golden retriever even changed the way he likes to play games.

It's still the same old tennis ball, but it's changed from the high and low catch and throw to the current kicking ball that rolls around on the ground.

Now the noise is not what it was when it came to Fujimoto's house half a month ago. Not only has it grown a lot in height and weight, but white hard feathers have also begun to grow on the edges of its wings.

Although the little yellow chicken, which started to grow, gradually began to lose its fluffy and cute appearance, but the little fat man didn't care about this, and still loved it very much.

Hugging his body on the ground to fight for the ball with Ah Zhong, he raised his head to take a look at the cat climbing frame whenever he had the chance.

Seeing Xu Jie lying there obediently, it will continue the game with peace of mind.

At noon, Mo came back on time, and not long after, Hei Yu also flew in from outside with Granny George.

Seeing that all the 'people' in the house had arrived, Xu Jie stood up, stretched himself on the cat climbing shelf, and then leisurely climbed down from the shelf wagging his tail.

Several animals came to the kitchen together and took their places.

Mo walked out of the team and came to the cabinet where the pet food was stored. He pushed the cabinet door open with his paws, and took out their rations one by one from inside.

First is the little raccoon flower and its cat food, then the dog food of Ah Zhong, then the bird food of Hei Yu and Mynah, and finally the 'infant' food specially prepared by the doctor for Noisy.

Pour these things into their respective food bowls one by one according to the fixed amount of ink, and then put the things it took out back into the cabinet in order.

The pets of the Fujimoto family would be fed three times a day. In the past, before the doctors left, they would leave a certain amount of food and water in the food bowl. When the animals were hungry, they would naturally come to find food.

But the disadvantage of this method is that there is no way to control the meal time of the small animals. When Ah Zhong was young, he had poor self-control ability. It happened that the doctor just went out with his front feet, and he ate up all the reserved food with his back feet.

The consequence of doing so was that that day Ah Zhong was so stuffed that he could hardly walk in the morning, but he didn't eat at noon, and he was hungry all afternoon.

Although after being taught several times by the master and Hei Yu later, Ah Zhong has a long memory and is no longer greedy, but occasionally when he can't help it, he will sneak to the food bowl to eat a few mouthfuls.

For this reason, Dr. Fujimoto once used a fixed-point automatic feeding machine at home, but the machine was broken by a young golden retriever within a few days, and the helpless doctor had to change it back to the original method.

Later, Xu Jie was raised in the family, and Xu Jie brought Dahei.

The observant doctor soon discovered that the big black cat brought by their raccoon cat seemed very unusual.

At a fixed time every day, the black cat would come over with snacks or afternoon tea for his raccoon cat.

Not only is the timing very accurate, but the amount of food brought over is not too much or too little each time, just enough for them to finish eating.

In order to verify some of his thoughts, the doctor once calmed down and observed Mo's actions for more than a month, and finally he determined that Mo was a cat with the concept of time and quantity.

After reaching this conclusion, a thought suddenly popped up in the doctor's mind, since Dahei is so capable, why not let him manage the lunch of the animals in the house?

It sounds like a joke idea, but it was realized in the Fujimoto family.

After more than a week of running-in, Mo officially became the first special member of the family who could open the cupboard without being punished.

The pets in the house didn't have much reaction to this. For Xu Jie, shouldn't food be handled by Mo?What's wrong with ink mastering lunch?It even prepares snacks and afternoon tea.

And the big golden retriever has no objection to this, because it only needs to eat what it has.

As the housekeeper, Hei Yu is the one who pays the most attention to this matter among the animals.

After a few days of adaptation, it found that Mo did a very good job, allowing them not only to have lunch on time, but also to order and choose flavors.

For example, when he woke up this morning, Xu Jie told Mo it that he wanted to eat shrimp-flavored cat food for lunch.

Before Mo went out to inspect the territory, Heiyu and Ah Zhong also reported to him that one of them hoped to eat beef-flavored dog food, and the other hoped that there would be more sunflower seeds in today's lunch.

Looking at a group of animals eating hard on the food bowl, it seemed that Mo had definitely fulfilled their wishes.

As for the little thing that is noisy, it is too young to have the right to picky eaters. It can only eat the special chick feed given to it by the doctor.

After lunch, Xu Jie licked Mo's hair, and Mo squatted on the tatami with his body propped up, obediently letting Xu Jie lick it.

The little yellow chicken blinked its small eyes and looked at its father and younger father expectantly. After the ink was filled, it ran over quickly on two toothpick legs.

Chicken feathers cannot be licked, but in order not to show favoritism, Xu Jie still licked the little yellow chicken's head twice to show affection.

It's really only two strokes, any more Mo will come over and snatch away the noise.

It was one o'clock in the afternoon when Xu Jie started to go out for activities. Looking at Xu Jie and Mo who jumped out from the cat road, the noisy mood became a little lost.

As a little chick whose fur hasn't even sprung yet, the temperature outside is not something it can bear.

So Xu Jie and Mo both rejected its application to go out with it.

But it soon became happy again, because Kuroba and George flew over.

As the housekeeper in the family, Kuroba believes that it has the responsibility to take care of and teach the younger generation.

That guy, Dasheng, knows everything, and he can relax without using his own black feather.But Noisy doesn't know anything, so Black Crow has recently picked up the pointer again, ready to teach Noisy a lesson.

Of course, the little yellow chicken is not lonely at all in the classroom, because there is a golden retriever dog Ah Zhong who has been repeated for ten thousand years to accompany it.

After the afternoon study session, it was time for the little fatty to leave school.

Jiantai who just came home must do her homework, and the little yellow chicken who has just been taught by Heiyu knows that it is not allowed to disturb the little master at this time.

After playing for half a day and studying for a few hours, they all felt tired. Taking advantage of the little fat man's time to do his homework, Ah Zhong and Noisy lay sprawled on the tatami to take a nap.

After dinner, it was time for the children. Jiantai, Golden Retriever and Noisy, their voices, laughter and shouts began to be heard everywhere in the house.

The living room has been completely occupied by them now, and Mrs. Fujimoto and Junko who want to follow the drama can only watch the small TV in the master bedroom.

And Dr. Fujimoto, who was also looking at the materials, had no choice but to hug his laptop and curl up on the bed to look through it.

Xu Jie, who knew they were going to make a fuss early in the morning, rushed to the cat shelf after dinner.

Looking at Mo who was guarding the cat shelf, the little fat man raised his hands and stared at him for a while, and finally gave up the idea of ​​bringing Xu Jie in to play together.

09:30 in the evening is the time for children and pets to rest.

After the little fat man came out of the bathroom, with the moisture that had not completely dissipated from his body, he ran to the paper box 'chicken coop' on his slippers.

Stretching out his head to look inside, the little yellow chicken is really not inside.

Seeing this, the little fat man tiptoed to the side of the cat's nest, and listened softly, and sure enough, he heard the Great Sage's meowing and noisy chirping in the cat's nest.

Noisy, who was lying under his father's big fluffy tail, squatted on the cushion and listened carefully to his little father telling him stories.

In the noisy little world, he thinks his father is the most powerful, because no one in the house dares to provoke him, and the cats and dogs outside must listen to him.

And the smartest one is of course its little dad, who knows everything, and can give answers no matter what he asks.

I heard from Teacher Heiyu that his little dad can not only understand the characters written by his owners, but also understand foreign languages ​​and arithmetic, and he can also help everyone deal with diseases and wounds.

Astronomy, geography, human history, his little dad can speak clearly and logically. I heard that the animals outside admire his little dad very much, and even nicknamed him Dr. Cat.

But what makes the little yellow chicken most happy is the bedtime story Xu Jie would tell it every day.

Satisfied, Noisy's eyelids became heavier and heavier amidst Xu Jie's regular meowing, and finally it tilted its head and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that Noisy fell asleep, Mo stretched out his head and gently took the little yellow chicken in his mouth.

He got up and walked out of the cat's nest, and greeted the little fat man with a slight nod of the head, and then gently put the noise in his mouth into the 'chicken nest' covered with toilet paper.

The little fat man lightly pulled down the light switch in the house, and the light went out in an instant.

Watching the light outside go out, Xu Jie let out a sigh of relief. Another day of busy work has passed, and now it can take a good rest.

Xu Jie, who closed his eyes and relaxed his body, lay down, and Mo, who had re-entered the nest, began to gently push Xu Jie's head with his body.

Raising his head, Xu Jie looked at Mo with an inexplicable expression on his face. He didn't sleep in the middle of the night. What does this guy want to do?

Seeing that Xu Jie was finally willing to talk to him, Mo squatted in the cat's litter, shaking his beard and shining golden brown eyes, said to Xu Jie, "Xiao Lihua, I also want to hear a bedtime story."

Xu Jie: ...
