Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 85

He did worry at first—what if Brother Pi ended up traumatized? Should I find him a girlfriend or something? But it turned out, Brother Pi had a mental fortitude beyond imagination.

After a heart-to-heart with him, Shen Luo confirmed: Brother Pi was totally fine. The only difference was, he had completely given up on guy dogs. Shen Luo was relieved—he had plenty of other things to worry about.

Like the kittens, for instance.

One mama cat had given birth to three before heading off after her spay. Qiuqiu had four more. Then there were two tiny ones from a stray who'd risked her life to deliver them. Now the pet hospital had nine kittens running around. Just thinking about it gave Shen Luo a headache.

Sure, the kittens were super cute and didn't eat much, but they needed careful care. What really stressed Shen Luo out was what would happen when they grew up. Plenty of people claimed they wanted to adopt, but not everyone was a good fit.

And then there was the injured owl with a fractured bone. Quiet little thing, very calm, with huge round eyes that had the same piercing gaze as a real cat's. It was Shen Luo's first time caring for an owl, and he'd been nervous at first—he'd done loads of research and was still figuring things out as he went. But so far, so good.

For cases like these, where he had no prior experience, Shen Luo made sure to keep detailed notes—for next time.

Big Horn hadn't been in the mood to go out lately. His chicks were going to be given away soon, and the whole family of five was sticking together as much as they could. Shen Luo sometimes felt a pang of guilt about that, but there was no way around it—he simply couldn't afford to keep so many animals.

Then came Feng Yuanyuan, bringing her beloved cat Feng Baobao in for a routine check-up. On the outside, Feng Yuanyuan was the textbook definition of a career woman, but when it came to Feng Baobao, she was the softest, most doting mom you could imagine.

"How's the new boyfriend, Yuanyuan?" Shen Luo asked, casually poking around. He knew she was the type who had everything but a stable relationship, so when she finally got a boyfriend, of course he was curious about how that was going.

Feng Yuanyuan waved her hand, looking exasperated. "Ugh, don't even bring it up. Such a headache."

Naturally, Shen Luo had to dig deeper. "What happened? You guys break up?"

"Yeah," she said.

That only made Shen Luo more curious. "How come? Wasn't he a great guy? Higher income than you, good-looking, right age, totally into you—what went wrong?"

Feng Yuanyuan sighed. "Baobao didn't like him. What could I do?"

Turned out she had passed the guy, but he hadn't passed Feng Baobao's test. That was rough.

Honestly, Shen Luo thought Feng Yuanyuan, despite being career-driven, would probably be amazing at managing a household. Anyone who married her would be lucky—as long as they could match her level.

Feng Baobao, of course, was her precious baby—a spoiled, willful cat totally used to getting her way.

"How many guys has Baobao chased off by now?"

Feng Yuanyuan shrugged like it didn't matter. "Plenty more fish in the sea."

"Hopefully."

Sensing she didn't want to dwell on it, Shen Luo moved on and started chatting with Feng Baobao instead, personally giving her a bath.

Feng Baobao was a clean freak among cats. Most cats hated water and baths, but not her—she actually enjoyed it.

After taking a shower, Shen Luo finally figured it out.

Feng Baobao was jealous.

Feng Yuanyuan had started showing affection toward a new guy, and Feng Baobao was not having it. The mom who used to cook cat food only for her was suddenly cooking human meals for someone else? Not okay. The bed that used to belong to just her and Mom? Now a two-legged beast had the audacity to claim space on it—and even shoved Baobao off the bed? Super not okay. And to top it off, the guy even complained about her fur? Triple not okay.

So, this manipulative little fluffball decided to leave some fragrant "presents" in the guy's shoes—yeah, literal stinky cat poop.

The guy had never been into animals to begin with, so getting sabotaged by a cat like that just made him hate Baobao even more. But since he couldn't actually do anything to her, he tried to get Feng Yuanyuan to discipline the cat.

That was when Baobao pulled out the big guns—she started faking a limp in front of Feng Yuanyuan.

And of course, being the devoted cat mom she was, she noticed immediately. At first, she thought Baobao must've fallen or gotten hurt somehow. But then she saw how Baobao started avoiding the guy, even screaming dramatically whenever the guy so much as walked past her, like she'd been stepped on.

The guy insisted he hadn't touched the cat, but Feng Yuanyuan wasn't so sure. They started arguing. And in the heat of the moment, the guy blurted out how much he hated Baobao—and that he wanted to get rid of her.

Yeah, no.

That was the final straw for Feng Yuanyuan. She kicked him out, and that was the end of that relationship.

Shen Luo had to admit, he was genuinely impressed by Feng Baobao's intellect. He'd always thought of Baobao as just a spoiled, pampered fluffball, but now? Turned out, this scheming little genius had just outplayed a grown man.

At this point, Shen Luo figured Feng Yuanyuan might never be able to get married as long as Baobao was around.

But later, he realized he was wrong.

Even a manipulative cat like Feng Baobao could meet someone whose vibes just... clicked. Sometimes, a relationship falling apart wasn't the worst thing—it might just be making space for something better.

All Shen Luo could do was remind himself: sure, some pets are adorably dumb, but some are next-level smart and cunning. Never underestimate a cute face—behind it might be a mastermind in fur.

Feng Baobao's story ended up in Shen Luo's article about pet shenanigans, and he even wrote it from Feng Baobao's point of view. When Zheng Jiamei read it, she couldn't stop saying, "No way!"

At home, Feng Baobao was a pampered little princess, all delicate and proper, but the moment she stepped into the hospital, she turned wild. Zheng Jiamei always thought Feng Baobao wasn't dumb, but she'd never pegged her as that smart either.

Shen Luo said, "Whatever, don't believe it then. Just take it as a short story I made up."

Zheng Jiamei just curled her lip.

Then, Shen Luo sent off the two finished pieces to the magazine editor's inbox—one was "How to Pick the Perfect Pet (Cat Edition)", and the other was the tale of the scheming queen herself, Feng Baobao.
