[Comprehensive] Notes on Cat Raising by Benmaru

Natsume's house is not very far from Nanatsujiya. In the yard of an ordinary two-story building, there are green trees with branches and leaves spread out like umbrellas.

The tired two cats simply stayed in Natsume's arms, probably feeling a bit crowded, Chihiro squeezed the cat teacher to the side again, the soft body with smooth fur is simply the best She couldn't help but put all her weight on Mr. Cat's body, and calmly ignored the other's disgusting eyes.

Natsume took out the key and opened the door. Hearing the movement, Toko came out from the back room. When he saw the cat Natsume was holding, he raised his hand and covered his mouth in surprise, "Oh, Kishi, where did this come from, little boy?" cat?"

"Someone entrusted me to take care of it temporarily, Aunt Tazi, can I bring it in?"

Tazi showed a gentle smile, she turned slightly sideways, and moved out of the way, "Really, what nonsense are you talking about, of course it's okay."

Chihiro poked her claws out of Natsume's arms, lowered her head and looked down.Thinking that Chihiro was going to come down, Natsume quickly bent down and put her and Mr. Cat in a low voice. He knelt down, touched Chihiro's head with his hand and said, "Xiao Qian, right, my room is on the second floor. Come up with me?"

Feeling left out, Mr. Cat raised his short leg and patted Natsume's leg without hesitation.

"Teacher...it hurts, what are you doing!"

"Huh..." Teacher Cat let out a strange hum from her mouth. Chihiro glanced at it and felt that something was a little strange, but she didn't care, and walked towards the second floor very actively.

Did you understand?Natsume was surprised for a moment. He was about to say something when the doorbell behind him suddenly rang.

"It seems that Tanuma and the others are here." Natsume got up to open the door. Unexpectedly, when the door opened, Nishimura flew out from the side.

"Wow!" Natsume, who was startled, took a step back, and then heard laughter from Nishimura, "Just saying this will scare you!"

Really... Natsume couldn't help showing a little wry smile, he took the condolences brought by Tanuma, and let them in sideways.

The purpose of Tanuma Kitamoto and Nishimura's visit this time was for their unfinished summer homework. During the last fishing chat, Nishimura found that his homework hadn't touched a single word, and he wanted to hold a study session anyway.

Tanuma took a few steps back and came to Natsume's side, and asked in a low voice, "It's okay, Natsume, did I bother you?"

"Huh?" Natsume raised his head slightly, but soon, he laughed, "No, I'm glad you can come."

"Ah! Isn't this the cat from yesterday?" Nishimura's exclamation came from the room, Natsume and Tanuma looked at each other, and walked over quickly.

The white cat with beautiful blue eyes was sitting on the stairs at this time, she looked around blankly, as if she didn't understand what was going on now.

"The person from before asked me to take care of it for the time being..." Natsume took a step up, and then saw Chihiro also standing up, and after taking a step up, she looked back at him again.

Really waiting for me...

Natsume thought, he was still holding the cat teacher who jumped up suddenly in his arms, and led Tanuma and the others into his room.

Studying will be more boring than I imagined. On the Chihiro wooden floor, I looked sideways at the cat teacher who was concentrating on eating yokan. For the first time, I sincerely felt like I lost something if I didn’t eat sweets.She simply turned around and stared at Natsume who was discussing with Nishimura.

As a kind of cat that regards making trouble as the criterion of meow life, Chihiro leaned over after a short hesitation, raised her paw to grab Natsume's clothes, and climbed up on his legs while the other was under his head, Resting his paws on the pages of the book, he read it carefully.

Hmm... I don't understand... Is it because she is too old?

She tilted her head with a pensive expression, and then when Natsume hugged her and wanted to hug her off her body, she jumped onto the table very simply, and then lay down on Natsume's open book.

This is bad...

Natsume held a pen and showed a helpless smile, while Mr. Cat, who was eating yokan, seemed to smell something that disturbed him. He immediately stood up straight, and then saw his food reserve stretching out his hand, intending to touch his new belt. cat back.

Never let this happen!

Completely forgetting that he himself is a big monster, Mr. Kitty rushed to the table at an unimaginable speed, squeezed Chihiro away, and lay down on Natsume's book by himself.

"..." Natsume was silent for a while, then grabbed Mr. Cat by the neck, lifted him up and put him back on the ground while saying "Don't make trouble, teacher".

Isn't this too discriminatory?Teacher Cat couldn't help but looked at Chihiro, only to find that Chihiro had curled up on the table and seemed to be asleep.

Teacher Cat narrowed her eyes, and simply lay beside Natsume and continued to stare at Chihiro to see what she would do next.But Chihiro seemed to be really asleep, laying motionless on the table. After a long time, it was Mr. Cat who couldn't help it first. He yawned, closed his eyes, and just lay there. Fell asleep on the mat.

But what he didn't expect was that shortly after he fell asleep, Chihiro started to move again. She walked to Natsume's side lightly, tilted her head to see the moving pen in his hand, then stretched out her claws, carefully Touched.

Natsume's hands stopped, he turned his head, looked at Chihiro who was staring at him with wide eyes, and couldn't help showing a helpless smile.

Seeing that Natsume did not reject her actions, she simply lay down on her side and hugged the pen in Natsume's hand tightly.

This is no longer a situation where you can do your homework quietly.Tanuma couldn't help but put down his pen, and said hesitantly, "Why don't we rest for a while?"

Although Chihiro often acts like a spoiled child, to be honest, she really doesn't have much interest in teasing cats, especially when the other cat uses a cat teasing stick that other cats have used.

As a result, a group of people who were about to stop teasing the cat found that the cat didn't want them to tease them at all.However, after all, the rest time had already begun, so Tanuma simply took out a deck of cards from his body and said, "Why don't we draw the joker cards."

As a result, when Mr. Cat woke up, he was very surprised to find that the white cat that was still on the table just now was nestling in Natsume's arms, watching them draw wild cards with a satisfied face.

It was too much, Mr. Cat felt that this was the most angry thing after Natsume returned the name without authorization.

So, when Natsume sent Tanuma away and began to have lunch with Aunt Toko, Mr. Cat took the initiative to start his revenge plan, which was to eat up the food in Chihiro's bowl.

Covering the hot fried shrimp in his rice bowl with his body, Mr. Cat, who stretched his neck to eat Chihiro's food, was picked up again by Natsume without any surprise.

Chihiro tilted her head to look at the scene in front of her, and took the opportunity to snatch away the other party's fried shrimp.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Cat, who was still receiving Natsume's lesson, struggled almost immediately, but before he jumped down, he saw Chihiro eating half of the fried shrimp at a very slow speed.

"..." Mr. Cat stood there as if petrified. After a while, he rushed up and forcibly snatched the fried shrimp from Qianxun's bowl.

When Aunt Tazi came over, she saw two cats standing side by side eating and trying to push each other away. She couldn't help smiling and sighed meaningfully, "The relationship is so good. .”

At the same time, Chihiro and Teacher Mao felt a cold in the back, they finally stopped the childish fight, changed the tension just now, and started to eat obediently.

After lunch, Natsume suddenly remembered the note that Nanao gave him before going home.He hurried back to the house, opened the note from his backpack, and sat on the floor.

Chihiro and Cat Teacher rushed in almost at the same time, and the two heavyweight cats jumped on Natsume one after the other.

Natsume showed a very delicate expression for a moment. He reached out and touched Chihiro lying on his chest, and then said to Teacher Cat with difficulty breathing, "Teacher...you are pressing on my stomach..."

The chubby beckoning cat expressed disdain for this, he snorted, but instead of going down, he just turned around and pointed his short and round tail at Natsume.

Natsume, who smiled wryly, had to bear the weight of love and hate. He raised his hand, carefully looked at some scrawled handwriting on the note, and then said softly, "So Xiaoqian, you don't like sweets. No wonder you don't eat sweets." You didn't even take a bite of the last pudding."

Chihiro turned her head and took a look, and found that this was simply a breeding guide for herself. It described in detail what she liked and disliked. If she hadn't been there at the time, she would almost have thought that she had been taken care of by Honmaru. The knives were given away.

Natsume suddenly laughed, and there was an eternal sense of loneliness in his smile, but it was very gentle.He raised his hand and touched Qianxun's head again, his tone was very gentle, "It seems that your owner likes you very much, and treats you like a family member."

Chihiro blinked, and then found that the emotion called warmth that surged up in her now has not overwhelmed her reason, her brain is still very clear, and what she thinks is still the worst possible consequences that may happen in the future.Looks like I'm not going to be that sentimental person anymore, she thought, but she wasn't upset.

She buried her head in Natsume's arms, and looked sideways at the green leaves outside the window.The sunlight shone through the gaps in the trees, and printed some strange shadows on the ground through the windows.

So hot……

Only then did Chihiro feel the heat belatedly, she quickly jumped off Natsume, changed her sticky and caring Nuanmao appearance just now, and ran to the farthest place from the window in the room, collapsed into a sheet The listless cat pie showed a don't touch me expression by the way.

Things changed so fast that even Natsume couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

He looked down at Mr. Cat who was staring at him, and simply dragged out the bedding from the closet, put it indoors and lay down.

Mr. Cat consciously occupied the position next to Natsume's pillow. He closed his eyes, not worried about gaining weight if he slept after eating.

The room was too quiet and harmonious, which made Chihiro a little unaccustomed.She turned over, rubbed her front paws with her face, and shrunk into a small semicircle.

The appointed time came quickly, and Natsume squatted down to open his backpack, thinking about how to put the cat cakes on the ground in.

Chihiro, who just woke up, looked up at him for a while, then stood up with a face of reluctance, and very consciously walked into the backpack and lay down.

It's so cute.

Smiling, Natsume hugged the backpack in her arms, and led Mr. Kitty down the stairs.Tazi showed a somewhat surprised expression after seeing Natsume, and when he learned that he was going to return the cat, there was a little bit of reluctance on his face.

"Really, it would be great if I could stay for a while longer, the house hasn't been this lively for a long time." She turned her head to look at Mr. Cat, showing a soft smile, "It's rare to have a companion here, so Miaoji should be very happy too. "

The two cats who were obsessed with fighting looked at each other silently, and at the same time clicked their tongues inwardly.

On the other hand, Natsume showed a wry smile. He really didn't expect that with only one more cat, the "lively" level of the house would increase several times...

He bid farewell to Aunt Toko, and then came to the area near Nanatsujiya that had been agreed upon before.Tsurumaru, who was dressed in white, had spotted them a long time ago, he smiled and raised his hand to greet them, "Yo~"

His clothes were covered with dust, so he didn't need to think about creating another scare.

Yaoken took a step forward, watching Chihiro crawling out of the backpack, he walked over to take Chihiro from Natsume's arms, his voice was low but hearty, "The candlestick has been thinking about you all morning, Xiaoqian. "

Chihiro has no guilt about this, she found the most comfortable position in Yaken's arms, and then lay down.

Yaken smiled slightly, looked up at Natsume, and thanked him seriously again, "I'm really sorry for your inconvenience."

"No, it's not a big deal." Natsume beckoned to Chihiro as a farewell.The breeze blew through his hair, and his slender face looked even paler in the sunlight.

Cattail simply lifted Chihiro from Yaken's arms, while he stepped back, he grabbed her paw and waved at Natsume.

Unexpectedly, there was a small stone and a puddle of rainwater behind him. Cattail, who was not looking at the road, tripped over the stone, and then fell down in front of everyone in front of him. into the mire.

Fortunately, he subconsciously held Qianxun in his arms instead of throwing her on the ground by mistake.But even so, mud was inevitably stained on Qianxun's proud, snow-white fur.

She looked down at her hair, and suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness.

Sure enough, after Yao Yan pulled his brother up, he frowned and said to himself in a deep voice, "It seems that this time, Xiaoqian must be given a bath..."
