Strange Life of a Cat

On Saturday, Zheng Tan became familiar with the general activities of this event and the layout of the venue. There were also many people who came here that day, especially those who like cats but cannot keep cats due to various reasons. It was enough to satisfy their eyes. , and when leaving, they even discussed coming together tomorrow.

When returning to the hotel, Zheng Tan listened to Charlie and the others discussing the day's events. Xiao Guo went out to expand his network. Xiao Guo was quite satisfied with the harvest on the first day of the event. He won three medals, which was not very good. The results are not bad, but they are just good enough. The bulk of Xiao Guo's business is in cat food and peripheral products. Today, the sales of cat food there are good, and there are several people who have contacted Xiao Guo for supply.

I heard that the cat of the woman who was traveling with Xiao Guo and his team and howled on the bus did not get a satisfactory result this time. The cat almost got into a fight with another cat that was competing at the time, but , for that woman, although it was a bit regretful not to win the award, she still loved and protected her cat. This made Zheng Tan's impression of her much better.

In fact, many cat owners who came to participate in this event, even if their cats did not win an award, just came to do soy sauce once and did a small job. They did not care about gains and losses, unlike those who mainly advertise breeding cats for breeding. A business-oriented people. When Zheng Tan was at the venue, he saw several cat owners comforting each other, and some even comforted their own cats. Regardless of whether their cats were depressed because they thought they had not won the prize, perhaps they were also telling themselves that the important thing was to participate. , in their hearts, their own cats are always the best.

Zheng Tan did not listen carefully to what others were saying. He only knew that Xiao Guo and the others had done well on the first day. He had to prepare for tomorrow's project. Zheng Tan and Jin Ling practiced together again in the evening.

In fact, it was mainly Zheng Tan who was running, and Jin Ling just had to sit there and be a qualified vase.

When Xiao Guo came back in the evening, he was still worried about Zheng Tan's psychological pressure. Unexpectedly, when he walked in, he found that Zheng Tan was already sleeping on the bed.

Compared to Zheng Tan's calmness, Xiao Guo is still a little worried. Even if the cat performs well when his team shoots commercials on weekdays, there will be too many people at the venue tomorrow, and the onlookers, especially children, will Screaming and yelling can affect the mood of cats. Today, several cats participating in the competition were in bad condition. Sometimes, cats who are slow also have the advantage of being slow. For example, the cats in Xiao Guo's own shop that participated in the competition have nothing to talk about in terms of their psychological quality. To put it bluntly, their reactions are slower and slower. , temperament is too gentle.

Xiao Guo knows that Zheng Tan is different from other cats. Moreover, because of the great harvest on this first day, he hopes that more people will know about Green Wings and the Obviously So Pet Center tomorrow. , knowing the products in this industry chain that he founded.

You should have good results, right?

At night, Xiao Guo, who should have fallen asleep after drinking too much, had a rare insomnia and did not fall asleep until late at night.

The next day, the second day of the event, Zheng Tan got up in the morning, finished breakfast refreshed, picked up Charlie's freshly wet and warm towel and wiped his face, then followed Xiao Guo and his group to the venue. While walking.

Before getting out of the car, Zheng Tan looked out of the car window. There were many people surrounding the venue. There were many tents selling pet daily necessities, and there were various cat crawlers on display nearby. shelf.

There was a long queue at the other entrance of the venue. There were many people bringing cats here today because the venue held a series of activities such as free grooming, epidemic prevention, and physical examinations for pet cats. Of course, the free items are limited. If you want something more detailed, you must contact us and make an appointment and go directly to the physical store. Today’s free items are just to show those cat owners.

The layout of the venue has also been slightly changed, with a space in the center being freed up for cat performances and interactive sessions.

As soon as Xiao Guo arrived at the venue, he was pulled over to discuss the matter. When leaving, he asked Charlie and Jin Ling to take Zheng Tan to familiarize themselves with the environment.

Zheng Tan watched the staff over there checking the cats and the person in charge who participated in this activity, and by the way, he once again confirmed whether there was any objection to the order of appearance. After all, the order of appearance was also drawn by lot, and no one could blame anyone. If the situation cannot be resolved in time, the order will be changed.

There are ten cats participating in this session, and Zheng Tan is the seventh. If it starts at nine o'clock, it will be calculated as one cat in fifteen minutes, and it will be eleven points. Of course, there is no absolute rule for the time of each cat. There are some possibilities. It ends in five minutes, and some will last longer. It is decided that one of these is a cat performance, and the other is their popularity, which can drive the audience to pay more attention and ask for photos and so on. The higher the popularity, the longer it will last.

Zheng Tan looked at the list in Charlie's hand, and then looked away without interest.

At this time, some cat owners and cats participating in this session were arriving one after another. Zheng Tan glanced at them briefly. Those cats looked very smart, and the familiarity between them could be seen from their interactions with their owners or trainers. And none of these cats have leashes, but some of them are wearing small clothes, which looks like that. Zheng Tan also discovered that most of these cats were not purebred luxury cats, and many of the luxury cats had many flaws of their own.

There were already some people standing on the second floor, looking expectantly at the open space on the first floor.

BC, let's go! Charlie greeted Zheng Tan. They were going over there to sign reports. The inspectors needed to look at the photos taken during registration to see the person and cat.

Because he wanted to appear in public, Xiao Guo asked them all to call Zheng Tan BC. The name of the contestant written on the registration form was Black C, and the breed was domestic cat.

There were only ten contestants, so it didn't take long to check and sign on the spot. Jin Ling took Zheng Tan and wandered there for a while before resting aside.

It's started, it's started! Someone from the crowd called to his companions.

Zheng Tan glanced at the crowd that had gathered quickly. Many people were holding cameras and DVs. A few fathers let their children sit on their necks, while the children were holding DVs to take pictures.

Seeing so many people paying attention, Zheng Tan, who originally had a casual attitude, felt that his performance must not be too bad later. Since he decided to come out to participate in the event, he had to show some skills and let those with cameras and DV Don't be too disappointed.

The owner of the first cat to appear has put more thought into it. The clothes on the cat will not interfere with its movements, and when it appears, it stands on a ball and rolls the ball out.

Rolling a ball may seem simple, but in fact it is not. Zheng Tan failed several times when he first tried it at the pet center, and only later did he get used to it.

Okay! Someone over there clapped their hands and cheered.

I don’t know if it’s a request.

After the man cheered and applauded, the surrounding crowd also applauded.

After the cat rolled the ball, it also jumped through hoops, hoops, and obstacles. Although people have seen these events in circus performances broadcast on TV, the feeling at the scene was different.

At the end of the performance, the cat stood on the man's shoulder and bowed to the audience, which caused a burst of applause from the audience. It didn't react much to those who took photos and turned on the flash. It just squinted its eyes. Overall Sounds pretty calm. After the performance, a few lucky spectators who drew ticket numbers went over to take photos with the cat and its owner.

Zheng Tan looked carefully and saw that several responsible persons around him had begun to tell people in the crowd to try not to turn on the flash. After all, not every cat could be as indifferent to the flash as the one at the beginning.

The next few cat performances were similar, and some male audience members focused on the cat owners with cat ears.

There is a cat group musical instrument performance that has attracted a lot of attention. Those instruments are different from professional instruments. Some of them are more like children's toys but they can make sound. Moreover, they have been specially modified to make it easier for cats to operate. Although this cat group only played a simple song like Happy Birthday to You, with a few wrong keys in the middle of the performance, people still applauded enthusiastically.

The cat in front of Zheng Tan was performing the horizontal and parallel bars. It moved from one end of the parallel bars to the other with its two front paws. There were a few more moves when playing on the horizontal bars. For a cat to do this, Already very good.

I used to think that people would be dissatisfied if the performance was too simple, but it turned out that Zheng Tan was overthinking it. People do not have that high requirements for animals. Even if the cats just jumped two hoops and did two somersaults, they would still feel that the performance was too simple. It was worth it this time.

Seventh place, BlackC from Chuhua City's Green Wings Association! The host actually paused when he reported his name. There are very few cats with such names. Even if it is an English name, this name is too weird. Forget about black, still C? What does C mean? Are there also black A, B, etc.?

Some people in the surrounding audience got excited after hearing the host announce their names.

Damn it, is it that BC? A real BC! I didn't expect that I would be able to see a live BC performance when I come here!

I used to feel good watching their cat food commercial videos, but this is a live show and I can't shout 'stuck'. I don't know how the performance will be.

What is BC? Is it famous?

You don't like to hang out on the XX pet forum. This cat is very famous in the XX forum. The cat food I use at home is the brand of this cat's advertisement.

…

Someone here was talking about who BlackC was, and props had already begun to be placed in the venue. Looking at the props being placed one by one, the attention of the onlookers gradually shifted.

Holy shit! What is that prop? A wall?

Those stools marked with letters...are a little weird. Are they going to have zigzag lines?

Wow! Beautiful girl!

“Is this going to be a Beauty and the Beast show?”

...Where is the beast?

Amid people's discussion, Zheng Tan and Jin Ling walked into the scene.

Jin Ling was dressed in a small and fresh outfit today, and she looked more like a girl next door. There was a sweet and warm smile when she smiled, which made some of the male audience members look at her.

Zheng Tan didn't wear any decorations or small clothes, so he was playing naked.

When entering the venue, the one who caught the eye was definitely Jin Ling, but some people who followed Zheng Tan and knew cats well could see that the cat that appeared now was different from the previous cats.

The cat's steps seemed to be calm and elegant. Its tail drooped downwards and the tip of its tail was raised. Coupled with Zheng Tan's serious black face with no expression, someone sighed: Hey , really looks like a little black panther!
