Chapter 1779
Pet King
Translator: 549690339
On online media platforms, everyone was used to seeing all kinds of cute and cute or funny and playful pets, especially the large group of people who kept pets on the cloud. Subconsciously, they felt that pets were just that cute and every pet was a happy fruit. But in fact, what the uploaders showed was only the tip of the iceberg. In real life, pets had both cute and troublesome sides, and some pets even had hateful sides.
Zhang Zian looked at the bullet screen. There were only a few people who had extreme opinions.
The so-called extreme opinion was either to simply throw the cat away, or to beat it up a few times until it was convinced and scared, or to accuse the cat of not being patient and responsible.
Most people actually sympathized with the cat, but there were different opinions on how to deal with the cat.
When the comments stopped, Zhang Zian said,ââThis situation is actually not uncommon. Iâve always advised first-time cat owners not to pick up stray cats from the park, because itâs easy to completely dispel their enthusiasm for raising cats.â
âFirst of all, everyoneâs criticism of this friend is unfair. There has never been a lack of people on the internet who take advantage of others. Everyone has heard how much trouble this cat has caused her. In my opinion, she has already done her best. If anyone has the confidence to do better than him, Iâll pay for the shipping and ask that friend to send the cat to you. Ask the other netizens to supervise you. Youâll pass as long as you can take care of it for half a year. â
The public opinion on the internet still needed to be guided, and the voices of clamoring and criticism were indeed much less.
âMost of the people who are gathered in my live broadcast room should like pets, but to different degrees. Some people think that pets are pets, and some people think that pets should enjoy the same rights as humans ⦠These are all understandable, but I want to emphasize that even in Western Europe, where small animals are the most strictly protected, once a pet attacks or hurts people, the owner can send the pet to euthanasia. No one has the right to say anything.â
âAlthough people tend to be more tolerant of cats, at the legal level, there is no difference whether it is a cat or a dog. Because if a pet attacks you today, it may attack your neighbor tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, it may attack a child ⦠Just like the friend just now, does your family never have a relativeâs child visiting? Who would be responsible if the cat scratched or bit the child? Me? Ta? Or are you all the netizens in the live broadcast room?â
âWhy is there such a law? What happened to the protection of animal rights? That friendâs cat was no longer a kitten. If it was a kitten that bit or scratched people, it could be regarded as a kitten playing around without knowing the severity, but the claws and teeth of an adult cat were too lethal. In the face of human safety, the rights of animals could only be secondary. Although many netizens jokingly call themselves cat slaves, itâs okay to make fun of them, but they canât take it seriously. Human ancestors evolved in the cruel natural environment for millions of years to stand at the top of the planet. Itâs not for you to bow to any creature. â
Fina licked its paws, meaning to say that it would not argue with him for now, and that they would settle the score at night.
Most of the netizens were reasonable, and the extreme netizens only made up a small portion. It was just that the voices of these extreme netizens were often louder, so they could suppress the voices of others.
Zhang Zianâs words were reasonable, and most of the netizens agreed with him.
âAfter weâre done with the theory, letâs talk about reality. That friendâs cat is an adult stray cat that I picked up. Why do I keep emphasizing that pedigree cats have better personalities? In addition to genes and excellent breeding, another important reason is that pedigree cats have never experienced suffering since birth. â
âIn the recent Oscar-winning movie âparasiteâ, Mrs. Park was rich not because she was kind, but because she was rich, she was kind. Pedigree cats had been pampered since they were young. They were kind and willing to trust the world and strangers. If there was a bowl of cat food, they were willing to share it with other cats because they knew that as long as they acted coquettishly to their owners, the bowl would be filled with cat food again ⦠But what about stray cats that were hungry and full? A bowl of cat food might be their food for a few days. It will fight whoever touches its food. It rummages through the trash can and takes the chicken bones under the sofa because of this insecurity. It is collecting food in case it goes hungry tomorrow. â
âItâs not its fault, but itâs even less of that friendâs fault. Could this kind of behavior be changed? Perhaps. However, the longer the cat was a stray, the more deep-rooted this behavior became. Even if it changed, it was impossible for it to be as gentle and pleasant as the breed of cats raised from childhood. If that friend was at fault, it was because he didnât know this before he showed kindness. If he knew this, he probably wouldnât have picked up the cat and he wouldnât be scolded by you guys here today. â
âCan it abandon it? I think that if thereâs really no other way, itâs understandable that the Qianqian couple abandoned the cat. They could divorce if they had domestic violence, and the wrong party would leave the marriage with nothing. Why would they force the cat to live for the rest of its life? It was a torture for both sides to stay at home. âAs for the second hurt, if the cat treats it as its master and its home as its home, abandoning it is indeed a second hurt, but it treats it as an enemy and its home as a hunting ground. A breakup may be a release for both of them â¦â
At this point, just when everyone thought that Zhang Zian was going to suggest to him to throw the cat away immediately, he changed his tone and said,ââBut if you donât want to give up, I can teach you some methods. Try and see if they work.â
âI want to try again. Iâve been raising it for so long. I want to finish what I started. Otherwise, Iâll always have a knot in my heart.â That person finally spoke again.
âAlright,â he said. Zhang Zian nodded.âFirst of all, youâre not the only one whoâs feeding the cats the wrong way, Yingluo. I dare say that at least half of the netizens watching the live broadcast are feeding the cats the wrong way.â
This sentence successfully attracted everyoneâs attention. Many people were not convinced and were ready to hear what he had to say before retorting.
Everyone was in disbelief. Was there any other way to feed it? At most, he would just eat less and eat more.
âYou left the food in the house and left on your own, so that the stray cat could sneak out to eat the cat food so that it wouldnât starve. However, its attitude towards you was still very bad. You said that it was ungrateful, but Iâm sorry. In the eyes of the cat, you have no gratitude at all. The cat food it ate was found by itself. What does it have to do with you?â
The netizens were stunned. A cat would actually think this way?
âDidnât it not dare to come out when you were at home? Alright, then donât come out. Let it hide under the sofa and starve. Letâs see how long it can endure. When it canât bear the hunger anymore, it will come out for a stroll like a child throwing a tantrum and not eating properly. That means itâs not hungry. Letâs see if it will eat after two meals! No matter if itâs a human or a cat, if you want to starve yourself to death, you need steel-like perseverance. Otherwise, why is there only one âMaidan Gandhiâ?â
âItâs extremely hungry and will definitely come out. If you change the trash can to a flip-over one that it canât open, donât leave any food that can be easily obtained at home, only a bowl of cat food in your hand, it can only covet this bowl of cat food if it doesnât want to starve to death. âYou canât be soft-hearted at this time. If it wants to eat, you have to take away the cat food and not give it any. When it comes close to you again and does this again and again, it will know that food doesnât grow out of thin air. Itâs because you go out and hunt every day that it has food to eat. Itâs because youâre giving it alms. Only then will it know how to be grateful and whoâs the boss in the family.â
âWhen other people raise cats, they can also use this method at the beginning because the most important need of a pet is food. It is the most convenient and effective way to train a pet with food. The cat at home is too arrogant and distant. One of the important reasons is that it gets food too easily. It doesnât feel that you have raised it, so why should it be grateful to you?â
The pet-raising netizens in the live broadcast room all felt a faint sense of enlightenment.
The meowing and expressions of cats and dogs when asking for food often made people unable to help but satisfy their desire for food, especially cute kittens and puppies. As soon as they called, their owners would hurriedly bring food to them.
If the owner was usually busy, whether it was going to work or school, he would often leave early and return late. He was afraid that his pet would be hungry, so he would pour excessive cat and dog food into the petâs food bowl every morning for the pet to eat in the form of a buffet.
Especially for kittens and puppies, many people believed the advice on the internet, saying that kittens and puppies didnât need to limit their food intake. They could fill their food bowls and eat as much as they wanted. This was a big mistake.
Not to mention the possibility of the kittens and puppies being stuffed, this method was equivalent to missing the best weapon to train them, causing them to have the wrong idea that they found the food with their own ability, and that big two-legged beast at home was a piece of trash. It took up my space and often used its dirty hands to hit me ⦠If you dare to hit me again, Iâll bite you to death!
In the long run, as the kittens and puppies grew up, their attitude towards their owners would become more and more slighted. When they grew up, they couldnât change it even if they wanted to.
Their family was clearly not rich, but they still had to raise their children well. If their children wanted money and food, they would give it to them. If they wanted food, they would buy it. What would their children look like? Even if you used your butt to think, you would know, right?
If the child was already like this, would the more insensible cats and dogs spontaneously thank their owners? Stop dreaming!
Those articles that described how Western parents educated their children, excluding the Chicken Soup for the Soul factor, were at least correct in educating their children on the concept of money. For example, letting their children clean and trim the lawn in exchange for pocket money. This was because children would know that money was not easy to get. It was exchanged for their parents through obedience, sensibility, and labor.
Compared to pets, pets also had to understand that food was given to them only because they were obedient and sensible. It was given to them by their Masters after they went out to hunt. They had to respect their Masters, or they would starve.
If a child didnât know how to be grateful to his parents, he wouldnât be filial when he grew up. If a pet didnât know how to be grateful to its owner, how could it be close to its owner? The logic was the same.
Everyone knew the principle of educating children, but why were they all so dumbfounded when it came to pets? It was probably because people subconsciously felt that pets were insensible and could be indulged. Besides, there were many Ugly Children, but not many ugly pets.
âThank you for your explanation, manager. Iâll return the automatic feeding machine I bought from you right away.â Someone said.
Zhang Zian was confused.
I f * cking â¦
âI understand the logic, and I want to feed him every meal myself, but I really donât have the time. The unemployed store manager doesnât understand the pain of 997! âItâs because itâs easier to raise a cat â¦âSomeone said.
âYou donât have time?â Zhang Zian snorted.âNo time is just an excuse.â He didnât even have the time to grab an appropriate amount of cat food in the morning and put it into his food bowl? Cats are not as fragile as you think. You can have a meal in the morning and eat a second meal at home at night, no matter if you come back at 9 or 10 at night. â
âAs for beating up cats, first of all, Iâm not against punishing pets. Even if a mother cat beats up a kitten, sheâll be ruthless. Otherwise, the kitten wonât be able to learn the right way to get along with humans or other cats. But thereâs clearly a more effective way of feeding, and beating can only play a supporting role. Using a stick and a carrot at the same time is the right way to educate pets. â
âThe other problems that the friend mentioned, such as the cat peeing and pooping under the sofa, resisting bathing, and so on, are actually all minor details. As long as you implement the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wild, hide all the edible things in the house, make it hungry and come out from under the sofa on its own initiative, giving up its dignity and wildness to ask for food from you, all the other problems can be easily solved. Donât worry, I donât believe that a cat has the willpower to starve itself to death. The key is that you donât be soft-hearted. If youâre soft-hearted and give up halfway, it will become even more arrogant and despotic. â
âThank you, manager,â the ID said gratefully.âYou really live up to your name. I know, Iâll be cruel â¦â
âDonât rush. â Zhang Zian said,âIâll get the ugly words out of the way first. If you do what I say, most cats can change their attitude towards you. As for how much it can change, thatâs another matter ⦠But! But! However, just as there were very few people with antisocial personalities, there were also very few stray cats that had been seriously stimulated and had antisocial cat characteristics. This kind of cat was beyond saving. It was like an iron block that could never be heated. No matter how good you were to it, it would return kindness with enmity. This kind of cat is really evil. If you try my method and find out that your cat is this kind of evil cat, then whether you abandon it or send it to euthanasia, I will support you. This kind of cat is not suitable to live under the same roof with humans. â
In conclusion, he didnât try to smooth things over. Instead, he clearly expressed his attitude. This was because his saint-like heart seemed to be good to the cat, but in fact, it had harmed this innocent and kind netizen. Although he was a pet store manager, he did not hesitate to stand on the human side when it came to the choice between the innocent and the evil cat.
âOkay, I understand. Thank you, manager. As long as youâre still livestreaming, Iâll come to clock in every day and report my progress.â The netizen said,âIâll go offline first. Iâll go and hide some food.â
âGood luck, I wish you good luck.â Zhang Zian said.
After it left the live broadcast room, Zhang Zian said to the other netizens,ââListen to my advice. If you donât have a diamond in the rough, then be more honest. Donât pick up stray cats. Kittens are still fine, but donât pick up stray adult cats. Unless you have super patience, the trouble they will bring you will be far beyond your imagination.â
