Daily Life in the Pet Shop Ch. 81
"Hello." Ao Ranqi reached out and shook the calico cat's paw, a little annoyed that he didn't bring cat snacks with him.
The calico cat shook its tail, jumped out of Ao Ranqi's arms, walked to the bowl and ate a few bites of cat food, then left.
"Don't cats here want to be with people?" Ao Ranqi asked with some regret. From childhood to adulthood, he had seen all kinds of cats, many of which were precious cat breeds, but there was no cat that he could remember. Today, this ugly calico cat made him worry.
"Most of them." Fang Yi nodded.
"Where is the cat just now?" Ao Ran asked anxiously.
"That calico cat is the same. It has been here for more than two years and has no intention of going back with me." Fang Yi laughed secretly in his heart.
This calico cat looked very nice, with light-colored fur that was pleasing to the eye. Moreover, its eyes looked warm, enough to melt most people's hearts. Fang Yi asked it several times if it wanted to go home with him, but the cat refused. He then asked Naima to try, but the cat still refused.
Although this calico cat looked very gentle, it had strong fighting power. It was a good mouse catcher and was also good at fighting. Almost all the cats gathered in this cat feeding spot were protected by it. Moreover, such a fierce cat was a female. Fang Yi always felt that it and Naima had a gender confusion.
"Did you say today that I will feed the cats here in the future?" Ao Ranqi suddenly asked.
"What? You don't want to?" Seeing that Ao Ranqi showed signs of disobedience again, Fang Yi frowned.
"No, no, how many cat feeding spots are there here? Tell me about it. Also, will the cat show up when I feed it?" Ao Ranqi asked.
"Yes, this is its territory. It basically doesn't let others come over. When you put cat food, it will also watch beside you to prevent you from bullying the cats here." Sure enough, it worked. Fang Yi silently gave the calico cat a thumbs up in his heart. It's really charming.
"Oh, then I'll come earlier in the future. I'll come to feed after finishing the things in the backyard. You tell the people in the store not to come."
"Okay." Fang Yi nodded and took Ao Ranqi to the next cat feeding spot.
Before they reached the cat feeding place, Ao Ranqi heard a dog barking. When he followed Fang Yi to the place where the cat food was placed, a dog came out from the corner and looked at them very proudly.
"Didn't you say that there are cats here?" Ao Ranqi pointed to the dog beside him and asked.
"Yes, there are cats here." Fang Yi said without blinking.
After Fang Yi finished speaking, the dog beside Ao Ranqi cooperated and "meowed", just like a real cat.
"What kind of dog is this?" Hearing such a weird sound, Ao Ranqi felt unwell.
"Don't stop, keep putting cat food, it won't bite you."
Fang Yi waved to the dog, "Mimi, Mimi, come here."
What happened next surprised Ao Ranqi even more. The dog actually walked to Fang Yi, lifted its head, let Fang Yi stroke its fur, and made a very pleasant "meow" sound.
"Although this dog is called Mimi, although it is a dog, it was raised by the cats here, so it always thinks it is a cat. Don't say it is a dog in front of it in the future." Fang Yi stroked Mimi's fur while talking to Ao Ranqi.
"What the..." Ao Ranqi muttered quietly, thinking that Fang Yi was really a weirdo, he actually found so many weird cats and dogs. He originally thought that Naima's hobbies were weird enough, but he didn't expect that there would be even weirder dogs.
"Don't dislike it in your heart, Mimi is a very powerful cat, it has caught dozens of mice." Ao Ranqi's performance was too obvious, even Fang Yi could see it.
Ao Ranqi didn't say anything, but silently complained in his heart, if you really think it was a cat, don't put dog food in the bowl, but if he said this, Fang Yi probably wanted to hit him again, so Ao Ranqi was very smart not to say it.
"Woof, woof, woof!" Mimi heard Fang Yi praise it, and it was so proud that it turned back to a dog's barking, which scared the cats around. When they found that it was Mimi who was calling, they warned it in a low voice a few times, and Mimi hurriedly meowed a few times, as if to apologize.
Ao Ranqi put away all the cat food, turned around and found Fang Yi feeding Mimi. Was it dog snacks or nutritional supplements? Mimi ate very happily, with a smile on its face.
"Humph." Ao Ranqi snorted coldly and said nothing. He felt that Fang Yi was deceiving himself. This was obviously a dog, but he insisted on saying it was a cat.
After Fang Yi fed Mimi and smoothed its fur, he took Ao Ranqi away. On the way, he explained to Ao Ranqi, "When Mimi was less than one month old, it was picked up by a stray cat here. I originally wanted to take it back to the pet shop, but the cat who brought it back was unwilling. So Mimi grew up here since it was a child. There are wild cats living here. Mimi grew up with the cats here. After a long time, it thought it was also a cat. If you say it is a dog, it will be unhappy."
After that, Fang Yi handed Ao Ranqi a comb and some snacks, and continued to tell him, "Mimi's eating habits are the same as cats. It doesn't eat much dog food, but she can't eat mice. The nutrition is not enough. So you need to give it extra food. It likes to eat the snacks here. When you come to feed the cat later, remember to bring these snacks and feed some to Mimi.
"Also, Mimi is a dog after all, and its body is not as soft as a cat's. The fur in many places cannot be licked. If you find that Mimi's hair is tangled, you should comb its hair. It is best to comb its hair every time you come. Bring Mimi back to take a bath at the end of each month."
Ao Ranqi took the comb impatiently, thinking that Fang Yi was too long-winded, and Mimi was too troublesome. The dog had many things to do, but he didn't dare refute Fang Yi's words, so he had to ask him, "I take Mimi back to the pet shop by myself. What if it doesn't listen?"
"So during this period, you have to treat Mimi well and make it willing to come with you. Although Mimi won't bite, it will scratch. Although its claws are not as sharp as those of ordinary cats, it is strong." Fang Yi said earnestly.
After hearing Fang Yi's words, Ao Ranqi felt very wronged. Wasn't it just a few hits on the dog? He was bullied like this. It was hard enough to clean up the cat litter, move cat food and do odd jobs every day, and now he was bullied by a dog.
"Oh, right." Fang Yi continued to add, "Mimi is not a dog, you can't walk it, you have to take it back to the pet shop."
