Strange Life of a Cat

As Ermao had expected, just as the photos were sent, there was a phone call. Father Jiao and Mother Jiao took turns to fight. Ermao explained for a long time, took a few more pictures and sent them over, so they felt a little relieved.

In this regard, Ermao can understand that no one will calm down if the pet cat in the house is covered with needles, and Ermao specially dealt with the lighting problem when taking the photo just now, so that the needles on Zheng Tan's body can be seen. Make it more conspicuous. In this way, the impact on Jiao's father and Jiao's mother will be even greater. No wonder the two over there have such a big reaction.

Ermao was next to him and called the Jiao family to explain that Zheng Tan, who had been needled, felt fine. He didn't feel much pain, and he didn't feel as comfortable as he imagined. Also, he wasn't sick at all, so it shouldn't be too serious after being needled. reaction?

What did Uncle Lin say before the injection? First relieve Zheng Tan's sleeping condition, and then use acupuncture to check whether there are other hidden diseases. Now it seems that it is still the same as his previous judgment.

Are you sick? Wei Ling asked. Now that the needles have been inserted, Uncle Lin should judge if there is any problem.

Uncle Lin shook his head silently, and said after a long while: Looking at its physique, I really find it hard to believe that this is a cat that is about to be classified as middle-aged and elderly. It is unbelievably strong.

Aren't you sick? It was really sick at the time. It slept for a week. The veterinarians in the pet center couldn't do anything about it. Ermao had already finished calling, and he also sent the results of Uncle Lin's diagnosis to Jiao's family just now. He said it, but after hanging up the phone, he still asked his question.

Uncle Lin continued to shake his head.

Only Zheng Tan knows, this probably has something to do with his biggest secret. It's like, no normal cat has the strength similar to that of an adult, and Zheng Tan can feel it in his own body, except for the sleep problem for more than a year, and he always dreams in a trance from time to time, I didn’t feel any other health problems. Although Er Mao’s evaluation of Zheng Tan was a bit more embellished, most of them were correct. Zheng Tan can indeed eat, drink, run and dance. After seven years, the feeling is still the same as before. It's the same as when a cat is not long ago.

The so-called aging can only be related to age and compared to cats, other things cannot be explained.

After the needle was withdrawn, Uncle Lin said, I'll study it after I go back. How long will you guys stay here, Ermao?

There is a week or two. Er Mao said.

Okay, I'll take this time to think about it.

Although he has always been very confident in himself, Uncle Lin is really confused this time. He has been treating all kinds of birds and beasts for so many years. The situation is similar, but I didn't expect...

After Zheng Tan completed the needle injection, the old master played chess with Uncle Lin, and asked about the situation of Dashan in the middle. As for the meal preparation, the elderly don't need to worry about it, there are special personnel in charge, but today Ermao and Wei Ling came, and the meal preparation was done by their daughters-in-law with their sleeves rolled up.

Seeing that Zheng Tan really tastes similar to what people eat, and the taste is also similar, the old man and Uncle Lin are now convinced. Just now they specially prepared a plate of scrambled eggs with onions, and two relatively spicy appetizers. Dashan would never touch it, but Zheng Tan ate it anyway, and nothing happened after he ate it. At that time, Uncle Lin didn't care about the unfinished wine in the glass. He put down the glass and took Zheng Tan to check it. It was still the previous conclusion. This made Uncle Lin, who has been in contact with veterinarians since childhood, amazed.

Several men at the wine table were also talking. Zheng Tan heard that they mentioned Dashan, and only then did he know that the reason why his brothers and sisters don’t mention Dashan often is because of some experiences back then, and they don’t want to recall some embarrassing things. The unbearable past made by Dashan; the other reason is that the Dashan species is relatively special in China. After all, it is not a foreign country, and it cannot be kept as a pet in a fair manner. It is enough for one’s own people to know, and talking about it will only increase the topic. This is also for Dashan. A kind of protection, so they only occasionally mention the cat of the master's family when they are outside, but they seldom say in detail what kind of cat Dashan is.

Originally, I thought that the old man would criticize them a few times, but I didn't expect the old man to save face and didn't lecture the three of them in front of women and children. After dinner, Uncle Lin took his leave, and the old man chatted with Er Mao and the others about the three of them's current status, how the family was doing, whether there were any worries, how the children were doing, and other common topics. After that, the old man also talked about Dashan.

The old man picked up this unusual cat in a mountain far away from here, so he named it Dashan. Generally speaking, creatures like caracal cats should not exist in the local area. However, I heard that there were people who illegally brought in wild animals, and those people should have brought them in.

When Dashan was young, the old man only thought of it as a slightly special cat. He had never seen a caracal, so he didn't think about it in other directions. Later, he heard some people say that it was a caracal. It's just that there were no caracals in this area originally, but after bringing it here, it became unique here.

It's not that the old man has never thought about finding a companion for Dashan these years, but every time this guy gets along for a while, he kicks the companion who has finally gone through the formalities and brought him over.

Even though Dashan has a bad temper, always causing troubles, and his behavior is not always satisfactory, but the old man keeps Dashan by his side all the time. After a long time, after forming a habit, the old man regards Dashan as a little friend in his old age. And Dashan gets along very well with the old master. He doesn't like being hugged by others, especially children, but that's others, not old people. Old people are special. Uncle Lin is also one of them.

After getting older, Dashan doesn't like to make trouble for others as much as before. The old man said.

Wei Leng curled his lips when he said this, and he didn't want to cause trouble. Who took off his son's pants? ! It can only be said that Dashan is looking for trouble a little less now. He is getting older and doesn't have so much energy to make trouble for others. He has more energy than energy.

And Dashan doesn't really dislike Ermao and the others. He usually pays attention to concealment when he is outside. Dashan is not a pure family pet, but is in a semi-wild state and retains many wild habits. Yesterday was because he wanted to welcome Ermao and his party People squat on the conspicuous stone pier by the side of the road, otherwise people passing by would not be able to spot it so easily. According to Ermao and the others, Dashan used to greet them there often, which seemed to have become a custom.

Judging from these words and Dashan's performance, this cat is still very humane.

On the first night here, Zheng Tan slept in a folding tent. This is a small tent, it will be propped up after opening, it was given by Xiao Guo, but Zheng Tan didn't use it when he was at home, so he brought it out this time. Put some soft cushions prepared by Mother Jiao as mattresses inside, and Zheng Tan sleeps there at night.

The folded tent is placed on a small square table near the binary bed.

Maybe it was the acupuncture during the day that worked, or maybe it was the relaxation after a long drive. Zheng Tan slept well at night and didn't feel uncomfortable in the strange environment.

In the early morning of the next day, there was a sharp, piercing creak sound that seemed to be scratched on a hard board, which made people get goosebumps, and it was quite rhythmic, just like the slogan One Two One Two.

Zheng Tan's hearing is good, and this voice can't help Zheng Tan to sleep again. Startled by the sound, Zheng Tan came out of the small tent.

Ermao had already sat up, rubbing his forehead with his hand, looked at Gong Qin who was still a little dazed, and Er Yuan who was sleepy on the small bed, and said, I almost forgot, the mountain-style alarm clock rings on time every day.

Zheng Tan went out the window, jumped onto the railing on the second floor and looked down.

In the yard, Dashan was scratching a hard board, which made the sound. At this moment, Dashan's two front paws were rhythmically scratching the board leaning against the wall. Looking at the board again, there were already countless claw marks. It is conceivable that such a situation is not only It just appeared today, just like Ermao said, this is a mountain-style alarm clock.

On an open space outside the yard, the old man is practicing boxing there. The speed is not fast, but it is not Tai Chi either. It may be the old man's own set of fitness boxing.

After the three sleeping families on the second floor got up, the three Ermao brothers went to practice boxing with the old man. They had been exposed to this set of fitness boxing for a long time, but they didn't practice much on weekdays after leaving here. still familiar.

Over there, one teacher and three apprentices were practicing boxing, and the two mothers here took out their cameras and took pictures.

Eryuan, Fatty Wei, and Pei Jie are all new things. Pei Jie has been in contact with some of them and practiced along with them in the past. The former two just thought it was fun and went to join in the fun.

What's more interesting is that after waking up the three families, Dashan also came to the boxing side of the old man.

Others are punching, Dashan is rolling, and the rhythm of rolling is quite similar to the rhythm of these people's boxing, even the movements of stretching arms and legs can sometimes match Ermao and the others. The Dashan-style rolling method has been rolled like this on weekdays. Even the rolling place should be where Dashan usually stays. There are no traces of grass there. Obviously different.

Cats can't seem to shake off that contented slouching, even when they're grinding their claws.

Uncle Lin said that in addition to the treatment and maintenance he gave Dashan, the reason why Dashan lived so long and so healthy may also be related to his own personality, or in other words, related to some habits of cats.

It is always difficult to distinguish between cats and dogs, but in the contest of life expectancy, cats are superior. This may be related to their more leisurely and leisurely habits hidden in their wildness and their coping methods for domestic life.

Take domestic cats as an example. Although most cats die in their teens, there are also many cats in their 20s and 30s. I heard that some experts estimate that the theoretical value can reach 40 years old.

There is a big mountain, even if Ermao and the others are not here, this courtyard will not make people feel dull. Gong Qin said.

The sun has not yet risen, and the air is slightly chilly. An old man, an old cat. One punches, one rolls.

Sometimes Ermao and the others really love and hate Dashan, but no matter how complicated the relationship is, no matter whether Dashan is always tossing around like a bear child, they still hope that Dashan can stay with the old man and continue to be so bearish. One day it can't stand up anymore, maybe it's time for it to leave.

Readers please pay attention, don’t feed onions to your cats and dogs, it can easily cause poisoning, chocolate, etc. should also pay attention, they are not black charcoal.
