Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 51

Wang Wei and Xiao Chuan were also amazed. They never expected the cat would come back like this! Watching the cat curl up by the heater with her eyes closed, warming herself, she still gave off an air of "don't approach me." Shen Luo couldn't help but feel annoyed. This cat really had a thick skin! Now that it was cold and she couldn't find food, she had come back to their door. Hmph!

This was probably the most ungrateful cat Shen Luo had ever seen.

The three of them were still keeping their distance, so they didn't rush to touch her. They just watched the cat, her fur puffed up from the heat, in silence.

After a moment, Shen Luo decided to just give in and get a bowl of cat food. He had been doing this for three years, and he never expected these cats and dogs to repay him. This cat was cold and indifferent, so it was normal she wouldn't repay him. He realized that thinking too much about it only made him more frustrated.

The mother cat smelled the cat food, sniffed it, and then started eating it hungrily. Clearly, she was starving.

Shen Luo watched her eat and thought to himself, "She left after having her kittens, and I thought she must be doing well out there. Who knew she'd still be hungry?"

He couldn't resist poking the cat's backside, but she didn't react at all.

After handling the hospital matters, Shen Luo and Xiao Chuan went back, leaving Wang Wei to stay at the hospital. To their surprise, over the next few days, the mother cat didn't leave. She just lounged by the heater, still giving off that "don't approach me" vibe, but her appetite was impressive.

On the fifth day of the New Year, Wang Bo and Zheng Jiamei returned to work. When they saw the mother cat, they were also quite surprised.

Wang Bo carefully checked the mother cat, and after deworming her, he noted that she had gained some weight over the past few days. He didn't find any problems—until he suddenly gasped, "Boss! This is bad! The mother cat is pregnant!"

Shen Luo almost stumbled and fell. This was truly shocking.

Since this cat wasn't very receptive to Shen Luo's attempts to communicate, he thought she seemed fine—energetic, with only a few worms, but nothing else seemed wrong. He didn't force any further checks. He hadn't realized she was pregnant. It was probably because of her past experience with giving birth here, she must have felt that the hospital was a safe place with plenty of food, so she came back on her own. Shen Luo suddenly thought that this cat was quite clever.

"After she gives birth, we're going to spay her right away!" Shen Luo gritted his teeth and said. This cat thought she could just have babies and get taken care of by the hospital? Not happening!

The surgery Shen Luo was referring to was spaying, of course. Male cats could be neutered at about six months old, and female cats could be spayed once they were a bit older. Spaying is beneficial not only for human society but also for the cats themselves.

As for concerns about harming their dignity, cats and dogs don't actually have those feelings. Concepts like dignity don't even exist for them. Their mating and reproduction are driven by instincts encoded in their genes, and if they don't go into heat or mate, they don't mind at all.

Shen Luo allowed the animals in his hospital to have up to three litters to let them experience the full life cycle—he wanted them to feel that process and not have any regrets later.

The mother cat let out a soft meow, and Shen Luo was momentarily stunned. The cat seemed to be agreeing, and he had thought she liked giving birth. But it was probably just her instinct pushing her. Shen Luo realized he might have misunderstood her intentions.

The cat meowed gently, and just like that, Shen Luo's frustration melted away.

The mother cat ended up staying at the hospital, and Shen Luo had to take care of this pregnant feline again. Good thing he was already a pro at it—and thank goodness she was getting spayed after this birth.

After finally sorting everything out with the mother cat, Shen Luo felt kind of drained.

Right then, someone showed up at the door carrying a dog whose face was a bloody mess, asking for emergency treatment.

Wang Wei took the dog and rushed it into the operating room, while Xiao Chuan helped with the prep work.

Shen Luo greeted the couple and their kid, saying, "Have a seat and some tea first. We'll do our best. The dog looks pretty badly hurt, but I don't think it's life-threatening."

Shen Luo could sense the dog still had a strong will to live—it wasn't weak at all.

The man wiped his face and said, "We really appreciate it, Doctor. Please save him. Do everything you can."

"Of course!"

The woman next to him chimed in, agreeing.

"What happened to the dog?" Shen Luo asked. "From the looks of it, doesn't seem like a car accident."

The man explained what had happened.

Turns out, it was New Year's, and their kid was being a typical little rascal, loving fireworks. The adults knew it was dangerous, so whenever he played with them, someone would always be nearby to keep an eye on him. But today, the grown-ups had to go back to work, so they were a little less attentive. The kid somehow found a firework on his own and started playing with it. This one had an especially short fuse, and when he lit it, there wasn't time to throw it away. The dog lunged forward and bit down on it, stopping it from exploding in the kid's face.

"Don't look down on our dog just 'cause he's a mutt—he's super loyal! If he hadn't jumped in like that, who knows what could've happened to our kid," the man said, patting his son, clearly still shaken.

Shen Luo hadn't expected that. Dogs were usually super wary of stuff like that—they'd stay far away. They're not like kids who think they're invincible. A dog throwing itself into danger to protect its owner like this... that's pretty rare.

Shen Luo said, "He really is a loyal dog. Don't worry—he should be fine."

The man and woman both nodded, though their faces were still clouded with worry.

About two hours later, the operating room door opened. Wang Bo came out first and said, "Your dog was definitely hit by a firework, right? His mouth is pretty badly injured—lost a few teeth too. He can only eat soft food for now. The facial injuries aren't too serious—give him some proper rest and he'll recover."

"Will he be back to how he was before?"

"Hmm, probably not fully. The teeth won't grow back," Wang Bo said seriously.
