In the past when Snowy ended her live broadcast in the pet store, her mood was quite goodââbut today was an exception. The reason, of course, was the Siamese cat that had contracted rabies. Even when she left the pet shop to take a taxi home, the mournful cry seemed to linger in her ears.
Before leaving, the words that Zhang Zian had said to her deepened the gloom in her heart⦠They had also made her somewhat puzzled. Even if the Siamese cat had contracted rabies after being scratched by a stray cat, it was not like every stray cat was a carrier of rabies, right? Was it necessary to be so cautious?
Although she didnât really understand, she heeded Zhang Zianâs words. After all, Zhang Zian knew more about pets than she did, so maybe he had his own reasons.
She sat in the back seat of the taxi. Snowball was on her lap and the cat bag was thrown aside. After its haircut, Snowball seemed to have lost some weight.
The ride wasnât very long and soon, the taxi stopped by the entrance of the villa area. Snowy paid the fees and got out of the car with the cat bag.
The guards in the community knew her, so she entered the villa without any obstructions.
Spring had arrived, and the willows in the villa area had all sprouted. That meant, however, that the annoying willow catkins were coming, too. The property staff in uniforms were trimming the branches and lawns, and soon the villa area would be green.
Wu. There was a familiar bark in the forest between the lakes.
Then, an adult husky shot out of the forest with its bright red tongue stuck out. It quickly rushed over to Snowy. It seemed like it had wanted her to give it a warm hug, although she had never done so.
Snowy stopped and stared at the husky that was getting closer and closer. She was a little confused.
Because of its frequent defeat in front of Snowball, Good-For-Nothing seemed to have become a lot more obedient recently. It always hid when it saw Snowball from afar.
Good-For-Nothing lived up to its name. Since it was called Good-For-Nothing, it only remembered to eat and not defeat. Good-For-Nothing was thick-skinned and fleshy. It was not because it was hurt by Snowball that it had learned to be obedient, but every time it suffered defeat in front of Snowball, it was punished by Jin Er, who would starve it for a meal.
It was strange that it was rushing out again that day⦠Did it not see Snowball beside Snowy?
Not waiting for it to rush up to Snowy, Snowball jumped out and reached out its claw towards its face.
Good-For-Nothing was so scared it immediately slammed its brakes and scrambled backward. It had at least avoided the danger of getting disfigured. It had yet to find a partner, so how could it get disfigured so easily?
It took a few steps back and looked at Snowball without recognizing it. It blinked and squinted its eyes as if to say, âYou little thing⦠Youâre so arrogant even though youâre new?â
Snowy was speechless. Donât tell me that because of Snowballâs haircut, this stupid dog doesnât recognize Snowball anymore? Then it must be really stupid! Is its nose just for display?
After squinting and blinking for some time, it still didnât recognize the cat in front of it to be its enemy. It only felt that it was careless earlier, and as long as it was a little serious, it would not have any problems dealing with the kitten. The days of the Big Husky Holy Cult unifying the villa area was near!
It slowly came closer again, smiling as it raised a front paw. It looked like it was trying to pat Snowballâs head and get Snowball to submit to it.
The action enraged Snowball because Snowball had just had its head patted in the pet shop by a black and white cat whose size was much smaller than that of its own. Just as it had no place to vent its frustrations, the defeated, big, stupid dog actually wanted to pat its head?
Snowball leaped out, alternating its two front paws, and showering scratches on Good-For-Nothing.
Good-For-Nothingâs spirit flew away to the clouds. It had no time to care about its face and ran away while letting out cries of grief.
In the past, Snowball would always stop after its victory and wouldnât chase after it, but that day was an exception, Snowball chased Good-For-Nothing all the way to the woods by the artificial lake before it decided to stop.
âGood-For-Nothing, youâre really good for nothing. Since you canât beat it, why would you still provoke it?â Jin Erâs scolding could be heard coming from the woods. âWhat? You donât know this cat? It just removed its coat and you donât recognize it anymore? D*mn! I really want to smack you!â
During Spring, the branches and leaves were sparse, and through the gaps in the forest, Jin Erâs back was revealed. He was sitting by the lake and fishing.
Good-For-Nothing sat by the side, looking all depressed as it kept nudging the lid of the cooler box.
It could clearly smell the smell of the honey-roasted chicken drumsticks inside the cooler box, but why couldnât it recognize Snowballâs scent when it had only shortened its hair?
âShoo! Go stay in a corner! Iâll eat todayâs dinner for you!â Jin Er said.
It turned out that after Good-For-Nothing was bullied, it went to its owner for comfort.
Snowy also made her way into the woods, and when Good-For-Nothing saw Snowball beside her approaching step by step, it got so scared that it hid behind the Jin Er and trembled. Although it curled its body and tried to hide, it was unfortunately too big, so it could still be clearly seen.
Jin Er despised it for being so disappointing so he kicked it, but it just ignored that kick.
Jin Er turned to look at Snowball. âYo, Snowball got a haircut? No wonder my Good-For-Nothing couldnât recognize it.â
âHaha, I was the one who cut its hair. Isnât it ugly?â Snowy laughed.
Jin Er said, âItâs not ugly. How is it ugly? I think it looks quite spirited. It just doesnât look like a Persian cat anymore.â
He slowly cast the fishing line, and the hook made a shining arc in the air before it made a small splash of water at the surface of the lake and sunk under the water. Only the floater remained on the surface of the lake, making a simple harmonic motion as it gradually came to a still.
Snowy clearly saw that there were no fishing lures on the hook.
As Snowy was in a daze as she stared at the floater, she heard Jin Er ask, âWhatâs wrong, Snowy? You donât look too happy. Did someone bully you? Is it your workaholic old man? If so, then thereâs nothing I can doâ¦â
âNo, itâs not that⦠I just saw a poor cat today,â Snowy said as she waved her hands.
âWhat poor cat?â Jin Er asked.
Snowy then told him about the Siamese cat, some of which she saw with her own eyes, and some of which she heard from Zhang Zian.
After listening to Snowy, Jin Er smiled and said, âItâs really pitiful, but Snowy, you donât have to be sad.â
âWhy?â Snowy asked.
Jin Er put his fishing rod down and said in a serious tone, âYou feel that the Siamese cat is pitiful, but what about the stray cat thatâs also infected with the virus? At least the Siamese cat had lived a happy life for half a year, but the stray cat may have been wandering since birth.â
Snowy was silent.
Jin Er then continued, âThe stray cat is also pitiful, but the number of stray cats in the world is no less than ten thousand, all of which are very pitiful. You canât help all of them, so donât let this affect your mood.â
Snowy knew that what Jin Er said makes sense, and she really hoped that one day, all the stray cats in the world would be happy. But that was probably a delusion, right? No one would be able to achieve that⦠probably no one.
