The days of being a cat in Japan

Return to his temporary residence along the original road, an unfinished building with only three floors, where Xu Jie lives in the underground part.

This place was supposed to be a rest room reserved for the security guards in the underground parking lot. The main body has almost been built, and the walls on all sides are very solid. Only the places reserved for windows and doors are still empty.

It is very close to the exit of the abandoned underground parking lot. Although it is not very quiet, it is sheltered from wind and rain.Once there is any trouble, Xu Jie can quickly escape outside, which is already a very good place to live for wild cats.

Xu Jie found an old piece of clothing that no one else wanted, and put it in a pile for a temporary home.

Lying in his own den, Xu Jie was slowly digesting food while thinking about where to go for dinner.

Now Xu Jie has gradually adapted to being a cat. Three meals a day are the most important thing for him. Breakfast and lunch are easy to talk about, but the most troublesome thing for him is dinner.

Thinking about it, the school is the best place. The children not only have food in their hands, but the effect of its newly proficient cuteness skills is the best there.

It's a pity that when it gets dark, there is no one in the school, and the security guard will lead a big dog to patrol at night.Otherwise, Xu Jie would definitely put his home there, live in it and never come out.

Thinking about Xu Jie's consciousness became a little fuzzy again, and slowly he fell asleep again.

In the abandoned security room, which is spacious for a cat, the small snoring of a purring cat was soon heard.

When he woke up, it was already dark, and Xu Jie, who had overslept, couldn't help running out of the nest in a hurry.

Different from the daytime, the city at night does not only belong to humans. Some small rodents or insects living in the city will come out to look for food under the protection of the night, and nocturnal animals that target them will also be here. Time to come out and hunt.

Xu Jie would never choose to come out to look for food after the sun went down unless necessary, but today was different. When he was wandering around the school after eating lunch, he heard the announcement that it would rain tomorrow.If the news is accurate, it's hard to say when it will be hungry tomorrow, so it must be full tonight.

I found a place to check the time. At [-] o'clock in the evening, people who had dinner and went out for a walk at this time have already started to go home one after another. After a while, when there are fewer people on the road, all kinds of things will go out.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Jie finally decided to take a risk. Instead of going to the back alley of the relatively safe but far away restaurant street, he planned to try his luck at the night market.

There may be rain tomorrow, and it will be very boring tonight. People don't want to be bored at home in this kind of weather, so the night market is full of people.

Xu Jie shuttled carefully among the crowd, looking for targets that could allow him to use the cuteness skills.

If you want to use this skill, you must find the right target. Those bosses who are selling food are not suitable. When they are busy doing business and need to support their families, they don’t have the extra patience to appreciate a cute cat. Not cute.

The best targets are girls in their teens or twenties, who have no resistance to soft, fluffy fur and wide almond eyes.

It would be great if they were accompanied by their boyfriends. Boys who are eager to show their love in front of girls will definitely satisfy Xu Jie's request for food.This is Xu Jie's life experience summed up after being a cat for the past few days.

Xu Jie squatted on the steps outside a shop with his tail crossed, shaking his head and keeping his eyes on the people coming and going.

Suddenly it stood up, tilted its head up and let out a soft meow like a kitten.

The two female high school students who were passing by it stopped when they heard the sound, and then looked for the sound, and saw a civet cat about half a year old, shaking its gray-brown fluffy fur and looking at them softly.

The two girls were attracted by the watery yellow-brown almond-shaped eyes, and the closer they got, the cuter the cat became.

It has a small round head with a pair of perfectly sized furry ears on top.Unlike other monochromatic or variegated fur, although the fur of this cat also has gray, yellow, brown, and white colors, it is not distributed in patches.Instead, they are regularly mixed together like threads, and each fluff has at least three colors, just like the fur of a hare.

In addition, the most conspicuous thing on the cat is the long black stripes from the head to the end of the tail. Looking at it from a distance, it makes the kitten extremely majestic.

The two young girls couldn't help trotting all the way to Xu Jie's side. After testing it out and making sure that Xu Jie wasn't aggressive, they couldn't help but reached out and stroked its smooth fur.

Xu Jie squatted obediently on the steps, letting the two girls do their hands at it, and from time to time brushed the backs of the two girls' hands with his tail.

The feeling of the fluffy and soft tail sweeping over the back of the hand was like a fine velvet brush gently sweeping over the girls' hearts. One of the girls couldn't bear the temptation and hugged the cat into her arms.

Xu Jie, who was being held in his arms, rubbed his head against her cheek, and the girl screamed softly that she wanted to raise it, but unfortunately, her companions stopped her on the grounds that the rented apartment did not allow it.

Xu Jie doesn't really want to be adopted, otherwise it would be very easy to find a family to adopt him with his current cute skills. After all, cats are very popular pets in Japan.

But becoming a pet of a family means that it is likely to lose its freedom. It is locked in a room with only a few dozen or even a dozen tatami mats every day and cannot go out. After that, if he dared to be in heat, he would have to be stabbed. Just thinking about this kind of life has already made Xu Jie's back hair stand on end.

In contrast, although the life of a vagabond is very unsafe, it is still free anyway.Although life is a bit difficult, it is comfortable to live. It is not uncommon for Xu Jie to have encountered more difficult days than this.

Xu Jie believes that for it to become a cat, finding an owner is more prudent than finding a partner.If he really meets someone with the right personality and the right temper, Xu Jie doesn't mind having many companions around him.But if he can't meet a suitable one, Xu Jie would rather just wander around like this.

Thinking about it, Xu Jie realized that the item in his sight suddenly changed. It turned out that two girls were carrying it to the door of the convenience store, and they were discussing what to buy to feed the cat.

Convenience store owners apparently run into this situation from time to time, and are quick to give treats that cats would be interested in.

The two girls picked through and finally paid for some loose grilled fish fillets.

Xu Jiesi ate the fish fillets handed over by the two girls in a gentle manner, and after he was full, he played with them for a long time to express his gratitude.

After ten o'clock, the crowds in the night market became less and less, and when even the shopkeepers began to gather their things to prepare for closing, the two girls reluctantly bid farewell to Xu Jie.

After watching the two well-meaning girls board the taxi safely, Xu Jie turned around and lifted the food packaging bag that had just contained the grilled fish fillets.

The two girls bought more than a catty of grilled fish fillets, and Xu Jie only ate a third of them just now. The rest of the girls said they would leave it to him, and Xu Jie planned to drag the grilled fish fillets back to the nest.

Finally, this night's work was not in vain, and they even discussed tomorrow's brunch together.Moreover, grilled fish fillets are durable, so Xu Jie plans to set aside some for himself as food reserves.

While dragging the food reserves to the nest, Xu Jie listened to the movement around him with his ears up. His keen sense of smell had already told him that this area was the territory of another group of stray cats.

The owners of the site were very strong, at least it didn't smell the information of the group of wild dogs nearby from the air, obviously these guys didn't dare to set foot here easily.

In order not to offend the owner of this territory, Xu Jie was extra careful every time he passed by.

There's no way, it's living on someone else's territory now, so it has to be more careful.

Just as Xu Jie dragged the food bag across the street and was about to return to his nest, he suddenly heard some strange noises.

After spitting out the bag in his mouth, Xu Jie widened his eyes and searched around, but found nothing.

Xu Jie, who shook his ears and thought he was being suspicious, took back the bag again and dragged it towards the unfinished building.

Not long after it left, a black shadow flicked its long tail and followed behind it.
