Strange Life of a Cat

After going out with Mr. Fang, Zheng Tan also learned something.

The heads of several relatively large-scale pet hospitals in Chuhua City are discussing privately to establish a cat-loving association. In fact, they have been discussing for a long time, but they have not yet decided. The decision to be made this time is mainly due to the two projects that came out some time ago. A cat abuse incident and the reaction of the public and the media.

If they want to establish this association, they will inevitably have to deal with people from the Environmental Protection Association, the Bird Protection Association, and other organizations. After all, the conflict between cats and birds has become more and more serious. People from the provincial Bird Protection Association once had Several private cat-loving organizations have quarreled. In terms of environmental protection, some plant protection organizations often complain that many stray cats destroy plants and ecology everywhere. Because of this, when considering the name of the association, several organizers screened it and finally decided on scientific breeding, green civilization, etc. as the theme of this event. The name of the association is Green Wing, abbreviated as GW, icon It's a green wing with a cat's hand in the middle.

No matter what the organizers of the Green Wings thought, at least when Zheng Tan first heard the name, he didn't feel it had anything to do with cats.

Among the organizers of this upcoming event, Xiao Guo and his pet center are the most influential. In the past two years, more and more people have known the name of the Obviously So Pet Center. As one of the organizers, Xiao Guo, As the vice-president of Green Wing, he is so busy all day that he has no time to eat. Promotional videos, public service announcements, and announcements, although he was not the only one to do it, he still had to work hard at everything.

Xiao Guo knew that Mr. Fang was acquainted with the Jiao family, and Zheng Tan was familiar with Mr. Fang. Therefore, during this event, Xiao Guo focused on the big fish of Mr. Fang. If Mr. Fang could help, Xiao Guo, the deputy, The president's right to speak will definitely be greatly improved. After all, Green Wing has just been established. There are several vice-presidents, and their powers are temporary. No one obeys anyone. There are still people below waiting for you to make a fool of yourself, so they are all thinking about it. Take advantage of this event to show your abilities and secure your seat.

So, Xiao Guo went to visit Mr. Fang in person. For Zheng Tan's sake, Mr. Fang didn't act like a big name, so he simply accepted Xiao Guo's invitation and promised to donate a sum of money. Xiao Guo can talk to one of Mr. Fang's assistants in detail.

After Fang Sanye discussed the business with Old Liu, he mentioned this activity. When Old Liu heard this, he thought that the reason why his son became so lively and cheerful now was because of cats, so he immediately became interested and donated some money. , small things, it’s like spending money to buy peace of mind.

Of course, Mr. Fang probably didn't have time to attend the event in person, so the people below went there instead. However, for Xiao Guo, as long as this person is willing to take the money, it is already the greatest success.

Mr. Fang, Lao Liu, and Xiao Guo are all busy people, but Zheng Tan's side, in general, has not changed much. Life is quite comfortable, not too boring, and every few days If there is something to do, it is also something to make money. Think about it, which cat can do this and still make money to support the family.

Dad Jiao is on the other side of the ocean, and he uses chat software to chat with him here every week to understand what is happening at home. However, Father Jiao is not here, and sometimes some things discussed at the pet center are not very convenient. Mother Jiao is the one who makes the decision, but Mother Jiao does not have much time. Xiao Guo occasionally has some cat food advertisements that are not easy to solve. I would send emails to Dad Jiao with questions. Some time ago, I sent emails through the mail because of the shooting of a public service advertisement. It was Dad Jiao who was making all the decisions.

In fact, Zheng Tan is quite famous in a small circle. However, at the request of Jiao's father, a lot of information about Zheng Tan is kept confidential and kept very low-key. Moreover, Zheng Tan didn't have much of a role in this public service announcement because his appearance didn't meet the requirements.

Compared with other cats, black cats always have a mysterious, evil and domineering nature. Zheng Tan really can't express how pitiful he is. Therefore, in order to achieve the desired effect, Xiao Guo and the others chose They are a few cubs with an advantage in appearance, which are the easiest to arouse people's sympathy, especially women.

Zheng Tan thought it didn't matter. He didn't want to pretend to be pitiful anyway. However, as a cat with fans, Zheng Tan must attend that event and just wait for Xiao Guo's arrangement. No one who doesn't know will tell Zheng Tan Tan was associated with the cat in the family compound of Chuhua University.

Because it was Zheng Tan's first time to attend such an event, Jiao's mother couldn't do anything else but focus on the food. Mother Jiao has an invitation letter from Xiao Guo. She will also take her two children there to have a look. She even has her camera ready.

Obviously. Many customers of the pet center have informed about this matter. If they decide to go, they will receive a ticket from the pet center. Recently, the pet center also put up some billboards about this event and gave away some tickets. .

Ermao became a member because she spent a sum of money at the pet center a few days ago, and members were notified by a dedicated person.

Sounds interesting. Okay, keep the tickets ready for me. I'll go get them tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Er Mao was swinging a slender plastic rod. There was a rope tied to the front end of the plastic rod, and a stuffed toy was tied to the other end of the rope. Er Mao was leaning on the bed, holding the rod to tease the cat. The cat jumped left and right, running around on and off the bed.

Daughter, daddy will take you to the cat party when the time comes.

The tabby cat, who didn't understand Ermao's words, grabbed the stuffed toy, bit it and pulled it, and the tail of the stuffed toy was bitten off.

The event venue held by Green Wing is six or seven stops away from Chuhua University, and public service billboards were set up at seven bus stops on the way from Xiaoguo's pet center to the event venue. All the funds this time came from various sources. Donations from other parties, and even some advertising companies have deducted a large part of the amount.

Zheng Tan was taken behind the scenes by Xiao Guo early. He was with a few of Xiao Guo's friends who often shoot commercials, waiting to be placed in the exhibition area. Those few looked calm, but Zheng Tan couldn't remain calm.

Because several cats, including Zheng Tan, were wearing a small prop - small green wings similar to the logo of the Green Wings Association, to represent the image of such a pet center. Zheng Tan just felt like a bunch of idiots with these wings. But those few were probably used to being tortured by Xiao Guo, and they didn't have much interest in the little wings on their backs.

Zheng Tan couldn't bear to pull off the green wings on his back. In the morning, Xiao Guo also said that he would be an ambassador for the pet center. Zheng Tan was not interested at all. Anyone who likes to be an ambassador can be used all day long. It was so annoying, he just hoped that today's activities could end as soon as possible.

In the exhibition area, the cats in the pet center only need to lie down on the big cat climbing frame with the name of the association and the pet center printed on it. As soon as Zheng Tan was taken out, he stared at the cat holder at the top of the cat climbing frame. Ban, the first person brought there was the representative cat of the pet center - the shorthair cat Prince. I have to say that his appearance has an advantage and he looks so strong.

But Zheng Tan didn't care. After Prince jumped on the cat carrier he was interested in, Zheng Tan also jumped on it before it could pose.

This cat climbing frame is custom-made and has a large style. Each cat pallet can accommodate at least three cats lying on it at the same time. Therefore, Zheng Tan does not feel crowded when he jumps on it.

After seeing Zheng Tan, the Prince moved to the side, but Zheng Tan didn't make a sound or move his paws. He just looked at it. Within a few seconds, the Prince pressed his ears and consciously looked towards a cat below. Jump over the board. Then, Zheng Tan occupied the highest cat climbing frame by himself, lying on it with a bad face. He was not in a happy mood now, and he didn't look good at anyone. However, this kind of gesture makes people passing by the cat climbing frame have a thought at the same time: this cat has a really strong aura.

Hey, buddy, where is that black cat? The question was from an employee of another pet hospital. They often come into contact with cats and can tell who the leader is from the interactions between these cats. Originally they thought it was the shorthair cat, but now it seems that it is not like that. The beautiful shorthair just looked a little domineering, and the black cat jumped up, showing off his superiority.

The employee of Mingmingsu Pet Center who was laying out things was surprised: You don't even recognize it? BC!

BC? the man wondered.

The employee at the pet center didn't say much and pointed to one of the billboards nearby. It was a cat food advertisement composed of a story picture that Zheng Tan had recently photographed.

I'll go! It turns out to be this guy!

At the main venue, after several organizers and guests gave speeches, a series of promotional activities began.

This time, the main purpose is to promote the TNR plan to the public, so that residents who do not know about this aspect have the opportunity to receive relevant education. The so-called TNR is Trap→Neuter→Release, referred to as TNR, which is used to replace the management of euthanasia and reduce the number of stray cats and dogs, and use scientific methods to continuously control the reproduction of stray cats and dogs. This is also in line with the current popular humanitarian spirit.

Although the TNR plan is not perfect, and the people of the association are limited in what they can do, this method is also very controversial. After all, cats after TNR may still continue to disturb people and catch birds, and some stray cats and dogs attack people and livestock. . It can only be said that this event tries to let the public have a correct concept of animal husbandry, but if it must be discarded, please discard it in the TNR area specified by the association.

Some well-known companies such as Shaoguang Group also donated a sum of money to build a rescue center for stray cats and dogs. This event also received support from the government, and the media was also relatively active. If it hadn't been for something that happened a while ago, it might not have had such an effect.

There are many people who bring cats here to participate in activities. These pet cats are also familiar with people. Most of them are not afraid of people. Moreover, with their owners nearby, they are quite calm, but they are annoyed by a few reporters. He just shrank into his owner's arms and didn't stretch out his claws like some cats with a bad temper. After all, in this kind of situation, it is better to be a docile cat, and the bad-tempered ones were not allowed to be brought. It is precisely because of this that the event went much smoother.

Dad, look, it's BC!

Liu Yao pulled Old Liu to the exhibition area of ​​the Obviously So pet center. Because Old Liu had told him before coming, Little Liu Yao did not call out Zheng Tan's cat name in front of many people in the venue, but called He came up with the stage name BC which is quite famous in the circle.

Old Liu was very low-key today, and his clothes looked very ordinary. Just like Mr. Fang, the people who spoke on his behalf and made donations in the name of the company were all assistants. Old Liu happily took his son to visit the exhibition area. Xiao Guo didn’t know that this big man The boss actually came.
