The days of being a cat in Japan

Today is the day when the pets of the Fujimoto family check their bodies once a month.

According to Dr. Fujimoto's regulations, the pets of the Fujimoto family have to go to the hospital for a basic check-up on the first Sunday of every month.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Fujimoto was holding the big golden retriever, the little fat man was hugging the raccoon cat, Junko was holding the black feather, and Mo and the white feather chicken were arguing behind.

Taking advantage of the lack of people when the door just opened in the morning, Mr. Fujimoto put on a white coat, a mask and gloves, and went to the third floor to lift the owl out of the bird's nest.

The owl who was watching the night with Mr. Nursing last night narrowed its eyes and hooted a few times at Mr. Fujimoto.

Dr. Fujimoto quickly weighed the screech owl and checked its wings while comfortingly said, "Good boy, it's just a basic checkup, and it will take about ten minutes. After the checkup, I'll give you another meal in the evening." beef strips."

Hearing this, the owl turned its neck around a few times quickly, and screamed excitedly. It likes beef strips the most, and it would be even more like it if it was fed by the nurse.

Knowing that the light during the day will make nocturnal birds such as the neighboring scops owl feel uncomfortable, Dr. Fujimoto's inspection speed should be accelerated as much as possible, and the inspection must be completed as early as possible.

Junko's crow Kuroba was on the examination table after the screech owl. This guy was in a hurry to go out on a date. After the doctor sent the owl back to the nest, he took the initiative to fly to the examination table.

Kuroba was brought up in Fujimoto's parents since he was a child, and the doctor is very familiar with it.

So the examination for Kuroba was the fastest. After a few minutes, it got off the examination table and flew out through the window on the second floor.

Because the first two examinations were all poultry, the doctor simply bent down and hugged Noble on the examination table.

Because of the particularity of the white-feathered chicken breed, Dr. Fujimoto took the examination of Noisy very seriously.

In addition to the most basic observation of height, weight, appearance, and mentality, Noisy also undergoes cardiopulmonary function and bone density tests.

After all these checks were done, Noisy was carried to the ground and put aside to wait for the check results later.

Afterwards, the big golden retriever of the Fujimoto family, Azhong, was inspected. This guy has grown a little more recently.

Dr. Fujimoto really didn't want to carry such a big dog on the examination table to test the firmness of his own table, so he simply lowered his body and gave the big golden retriever an examination.

Looking at the 34.5 kg weight record recorded on the examination form, the doctor turned back and checked Ah Zhong's weight last month.

Then he said: "I have gained more than three catties in a month, Awang, you have to control your food intake. Compared with your body shape, your current weight is two catties overweight. Although it is not overweight, it is You have to pay attention too."

As he spoke, the doctor wrote with a pen at the bottom of the big golden retriever inspection report, reduce snacks and increase exercise.

The cihuamao, who also had these words written on the medical examination form last month, felt very sympathetic to the big golden retriever.

You must know that Mrs. Fujimoto, who is in charge of preparing food for them, will really halve the number of snacks this month after seeing these words.

The big golden retriever, who didn't know that the snacks were going to be controlled, wagged his tail and was taken away by the nurse, after which Xu Jie jumped onto the doctor's workbench very naturally.

Because of the popular reality show this month, Xu Jie hurriedly moved with Mo to the school to avoid trouble.

The cat kennel at school is no better than at home. Although there is a lot of afternoon tea between meals and three meals a day, it is more difficult to eat some snacks alone when you are hungry.

As a wild cat's cat's nest, there will be no such things in it.

So Mrs. Fujimoto didn't need to control it last month, and Xu Jie's snack intake naturally dropped.

In addition, the raccoon cat who guards the school playground, dare not go out and has nothing to do, except for sleeping, runs in the school every day.

After such a month, Xu Jie felt that his current weight would definitely lose some weight, so he went on the scale confidently.

After checking the same height and weight, the doctor looked at Xu Jie's physical examination form and said with satisfaction: "The Great Sage did a good job, and he lost more than a catty. Come on, after you lose more than a catty, your weight will be reduced." Achieved."

The raccoon cat, which had been complacent after hearing Dr. Fujimoto's praise, drooped its tail immediately after hearing the doctor's words.

Meow, after running like this, you are still more than a catty overweight. How is this possible? Doctor, is your scale broken?

Resolutely refusing to admit that it was Li Huamao, who was too overweight before, who thought so.

It took more than an hour for the doctor to check all the pets in the house.

Just as he was sorting out the materials and preparing to receive today's patients, a black shadow suddenly jumped onto the examination table beside him.

Dr. Fujimoto, who was taken aback, took a closer look and found that it was the big black cat of Daisheng's family who jumped up for examination.

"Are you going to have a physical examination too?" Dr. Fujimoto asked hesitantly, looking at the big black cat carried up for the examination.

I can't blame the doctor for having such doubts, because since the big black cat appeared in their house and now lives in their cat litter, the doctor has never had the opportunity to examine it.

At first, it was because this big black cat was not a pet at home, and Mr. Fujimoto was not familiar with it, so it was not easy to get close to it.

Later, I became familiar with it, but every time the pets in the house were checked, the big black cat either left or lay silently watching quietly, showing no intention of participating at all.

Dr. Fujimoto believes that with the IQ of this big black cat, it must be able to see what it is doing.

So the posture of it leaving or lying on the side without participating has already shown an attitude, that is, the cat does not participate in this kind of inspection.

Facing such a big black cat, the doctor really didn't want to do anything, because he knew that with the cat's ability, if it didn't cooperate, he would definitely not be able to control it.

So although the doctor has long been curious about Dahei's physical data.

But he didn't want to be scratched, so he restrained himself and just looked around.

But today Dahei actually wants to cooperate with the inspection. Is this the sun coming out from the west?

Although I don't know what made the big black cat suddenly change his mind, but the doctor will never miss this golden opportunity.

So Dr. Fujimoto picked up a pen and paper, quickly created a form file for Mo, and then carefully began to examine the big black cat.

Because this was the first time to do a physical examination for Mo, Dr. Fujimoto was extra serious and careful during the examination.

The first is the body shape and appearance inspection. Mo's cat has a big and round head, high cheekbones and a long nose bridge. The cat's eyes are big and oval. No tear stains or eye droppings were found on both sides of the golden brown cat.

The ears are large, wide and pointed, with a wide distance between the two ears. There are dense long feathers inside the ears, which match with the body hair.

Because Mo can be regarded as half wild, the doctor's inspection for parasites is particularly strict.

He took out a small flashlight, gently pinched Mo's ear to look inside, and found that the inside of Mo's cat ear was very clean and dry, without any trace of earwax or ear mites.

Gently touched Mo's nose with his hand, the drying temperature was suitable and there was no secretion. The experienced doctor Fujimoto nodded silently when he saw this. He felt that the cat should be very healthy.

After the inspection of the head, the next step is the inspection of the limbs, tail and fur. There is no problem with these inks.

In order to ensure that there were no mistakes in his examination, Dr. Fujimoto deliberately opened Mo's long hair to expose the skin. He wanted to see if there were any ectoparasites on it.

Facts proved that Dr. Fujimoto was too worried. The insects that dared to parasitize Mo's body should not have been born yet.

Finally there is a height, length and weight check.

Dr. Fujimoto took out the tape measure and began to measure, weigh and record the big black cat.

Because it was just a daily inspection, the cat itself had no signs of disease, so the doctor did not perform biochemical tests and temperature measurements on Mo.

But even so, looking at the latest medical report of the big black cat, Mr. Fujimoto, who has been a pet doctor for many years, still said that I saw something new today.

The big black cat is 120 centimeters long and weighs 15.65 kilograms. Although the doctor has long known that the big black cat is long and heavy, he was still surprised when he saw the data today.

This is the largest and heaviest cat he has ever seen in his work for so many years. If it grows by a few centimeters, it can compete for the Guinness World Record.

Mrs. Fujimoto, who was watching on the sidelines, also admired such data and said: "Oh my god, Dahei actually weighs more than 30 kilograms, and you can't tell it at all from the figure."

Dr. Fujimoto smiled and explained to his wife: "When I checked Dahei just now, I found that it was covered with cord-like muscle masses all over its body. You should know, my dear, that under the same volume, , Muscle is at least twice as heavy as fat, so it's normal that you can't see it."

Mrs. Fujimoto let out a sigh of relief, looked at the medical examination form in the doctor's hand and said: "There is no doubt that Dahei has Maine blood in his body, but where does the other half of his blood come from? I really can't imagine it."

Dr. Fujimoto shrugged and said, "Don't say it's you, even I can't tell. I'm even wondering if Dahei has lynx blood in his body, otherwise there is no domestic cat bigger than Maine Coon." variety."

The couple, who have spent half their lives dealing with pets, discussed for a long time, but failed to come to a joint conclusion.

In the end, Dr. Fujimoto decided to seal up this form and study it when he had time.

Just as Dr. Fujimoto locked the form, Mo walked slowly to Xu Jie's side, licked its cheek tenderly, and then uttered a chirping sound like a bird.

This is the meow that Maine Coon cats only make when they are in a very happy mood. It is a unique ability of Maine Coon.

But Xu Jie, who was beside it, was confused by the call. He didn't know why Mo was so happy all of a sudden.
