Daily Life in the Pet Shop Ch. 140

"It's really not good. What if others know that Fang Yi has taken in so many stray cats and dogs? What if they throw away the cats and dogs they don't want to keep in their own homes?" Ting Shan was also a little worried, because Da Fei went to the pet shop every day, so he knew a lot about the pet shop.

"This isn't a problem. When you film the show, you can emphasize that our shop takes in stray cats and dogs. Let people know that if they come across strays, they can contact us."

Aside from spreading awareness that people could adopt animals for free from the pet shop, this was what Fang Yi wanted most. If abandoned cats and dogs were left at his shop, at least he could take them in—far better than letting them struggle to survive on the streets.

"Boss, don't you keep shouting that you have no money?" Ting Shan felt that he was deceived. Fang Yi often cried poor to him, and he was soft-hearted for a while and donated a lot of money to the pet shop.

"Cats and dogs don't eat much, so what's the difference between raising one more or one less? We can recruit people to adopt healthy stray cats and dogs."

"It's fine to put them in the park. I'll contact the management staff there. But you have to pick a few more animals that are eye-catching so I can help you promote them." After listening to their conversation, Cai Ya understood Fang Yi's concerns.

These days, there were too many overzealous fans—some might even organize group visits to watch the recording. That would definitely be inconvenient.

"Sister Cai Ya, let me tell you something." Cai Ya agreed to record the show in the park, and indeed considered the pet shop. Du Qianze prepared to find some fun animals for Cai Ya in advance. The one in front of him was Mimi in the park.

"There are more than a dozen stray cat gathering points in this park. Fang Yi comes to feed them every day. There is a dog here. Because it was raised by cats, it always thinks of itself as a cat and imitates cat meows. You can bring it when you record the show."

"Is it true?" Cai Ya and Ting Shan were a little unconvinced, but looking at Naima and then at Da Fei, they were not doubtful of Du Qianze's words, but they were too surprised.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, let the boss take you to see it." Du Qianze followed Fang Yi to see Mimi twice. Mimi's cat meow was gentler than his Da Bai.

"We need to charge an appearance fee." When it came to money, Fang Yi never hesitated—business was business.

"Don't worry, we will go back and fight for you to get more appearance fees from the station. You can pick a few interesting animals when you go back. I will report to the station and prepare the script in advance. By the way, you must bring Peanut and Melon Seed." Among the pets in the pet shop, apart from Naima, Cai Ya's most memorable one was Melon Seed.

"Let's go." Fang Yi got up and took them to see Mimi.

The park was quite large. They walked for more than ten minutes before they reached the gathering point of stray cats where Mimi was.

At this time, the stray cats were still sleeping in their nests, and Mimi was lying in the cage obediently without coming out.

"What the..." Hearing Mimi's cry, Ting Shan cursed directly, and Cai Ya was also surprised that a dog could imitate a cat's cry, and imitate it so well.

Mimi came out of its nest and affectionately ran toward Fang Yi, meowing a few times as if asking why he was here at this time.

Fang Yi touched its head and said that he came to play with it. He took a small bag of dog food from his pocket and fed it to Mimi. Fang Yi turned around and asked Cai Ya, "How is it?"

"Awesome." Cai Ya gave Fang Yi a thumbs up. The animals raised by Fang Yi always refresh her worldview.

"I didn't raise it, nor did I train it specially. Mimi has suffered a lot to be like this now." Before Fang Yi lived here, there were already many places where stray cats gathered in the park, but at that time no one came to feed them. If they wanted to eat, they could only find it by themselves.

Mimi was thrown out when it was born. At that time, it was still small, ran slowly, couldn't take care of itself, and didn't look good, so it was difficult to find food.

According to Fang Yi's observations, it had been taken in by a stray cat. Normally, cats and dogs were natural enemies, but to survive among the cats, Mimi had to learn to meow—otherwise, it would have been rejected and bullied. Since it had still been young at the time, after living with cats for so long, it truly started believing it was one. It mimicked their behavior and movements, fitting in completely. Even though Mimi hadn't felt it was difficult, looking back, its experience had been undeniably tough.

"Indeed, it is probably more difficult for a dog to learn to meow than for a parrot to learn to talk." When Cai Ya heard Du Qianze talking about Mimi, she had already started searching on the internet. The possibility of a dog learning to meow was basically impossible. Even if it learnt it reluctantly, it didn't sound like a cat.

After eating the dog food that Fang Yi gave it, Mimi licked Fang Yi's palm affectionately. It wanted to play with Fang Yi for a while, but thinking that cats were aloof, it proudly walked back to its nest with cat steps.

"It can also walk like a cat." Ting Shan pointed at Mimi and whispered.

"It can walk like cat. It thinks of itself as a cat, so it has basically all the behaviors of a cat, except climbing trees. It has poor claws and is slow in climbing trees." Fang Yi answered.

"I have a feeling that Mimi will become very popular. You must bring Mimi with you to the show when the time comes." Ting Shan took Fang Yi's hand and said very sincerely, "The ratings of this episode have gone up. I don't want Da Fei's salary anymore. I'll give it all to you and save it to buy dog food for Mimi."

"Okay." Fang Yi nodded and accepted Da Fei's salary without hesitation. Anyway, he didn't take the initiative to ask for it.

"Qianze, you should go to the pet shop more often during this period. Tell me more about the strange pets in the pet store and cultivate more feelings with them." Cai Ya turned around and said to Du Qianze.

"Okay, thank you Sister Cai Ya." Du Qianze knew what Cai Ya meant by this. He had a good relationship with the animals that were going to be on the show, so he could show up more often on the show.

"I also want to have a dog. Can I take this Mimi home?" Ting Shan didn't care what Cai Ya said. He was still excited.

"No, Mimi doesn't like to go home with people. It's used to staying here." Fang Yi rejected Ting Shan's request.
