Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 96

Before the man could respond, a fashionable woman nearby reached out, grabbed a biscuit, popped it into her mouth, chewed a bit, and said, "It's actually pretty good." Then she grabbed another one and fed it to her Pomeranian.

The little Pom was clearly delighted, even bouncing on the spot twice. Its round eyes stared up at the woman, begging for more.

Seeing that, the others also started giving their pets a taste. No reason not to—free samples, after all. Worth a shot.

The woman was dressed super trendy, and seeing how much her dog liked them, she immediately opened her purse, pulled out her wallet, and asked Zheng Jiamei for the price.

"Ten yuan a pack," Zheng Jiamei said. "You have to finish it quickly after opening, since there are no preservatives and they go bad fast."

"Alright, give me ten packs."

Zheng Jiamei packed ten bags into one, then added another and said, "You're our first customer—here's one on the house."

The woman handed over a hundred yuan. Zheng Jiamei held it for a second, unsure if she needed to give change.

Shen Luo, who'd been watching all this, couldn't help but sigh and squeezed into the crowd, stepping under the awning and tying on an apron to help out.

"Ten yuan for such a tiny pack?" someone said just as Shen Luo got into place.

Shen Luo looked over and saw it was another middle-aged man, maybe in his forties, hands behind his back. It wasn't clear what kind of pet he had with him.

"Of course," Shen Luo said. "These are all handmade by me. I used only the best beef and chicken, and the veggies are locally sourced—carrots and corn ground into powder and added in. If it wasn't for this expo, I wouldn't have even bothered making them."

The packaging didn't have any logos or branding. Definitely homemade. If it were some brand doing promo, it wouldn't be this low-key, right?

Before the guy could say anything else, Shen Luo added, "If you're worried, you can always check in with the Chong'ai Pet Hospital near Yujin River Park. As long as you follow the guideline of finishing it within three days after opening, there won't be any issues at all."

Since he even gave an address, it probably wasn't shady.

The more generous folks pulled out their wallets and bought a few packs. It wasn't super expensive anyway—and at an expo, what isn't overpriced? Even pet food costs more here. The stingier ones just looked and moved on.

They sold a few dozen packs right off the bat—not a bad opening at all.

Shen Luo and Zheng Jiamei stayed at the booth while Wang Wei went to grab lunch for the two of them. In the afternoon, Wang Wei would help Zheng Jiamei run the booth, and Shen Luo was going to take Qiuqiu to the competition.

The cat competitions mostly focused on appearance. Qiuqiu was also entering one of those, but she was in the Domestic Cat group—not competing against those fancy breeds.

After lunch, they rested a bit under the awning. Around two o'clock, Shen Luo got ready to take Qiuqiu to the competition.

But when he went to pick up Qiuqiu, Ah Chou actually got into an aggressive stance, acting like he'd never let Shen Luo take her away. Shen Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't expected Ah Chou to be so protective. Was it because he was so ugly that now that he'd finally found himself a pretty wife, he just couldn't let her go?

With no better option, Shen Luo had to bring both cats along.

Once Ah Chou realized he could go with Qiuqiu, he calmed down. Shen Luo had no idea how to handle a cat this obsessed with his wife.

That afternoon's main event was the cat show. Besides appearance contests, there was also a cat obstacle course. Starting tomorrow, it would just be exhibitions—no more competitions.

After showing the staff their entry papers, Shen Luo brought the two cats into the venue.

Qiuqiu was visibly shaking. She was already a timid cat, and now with the crowd and noise, she was absolutely terrified. If they were at the clinic, she would've long since hidden in a corner somewhere.

Ah Chou stayed close to her the whole time, grooming her to comfort her, trying to calm her down. Shen Luo figured maybe it wasn't such a bad thing Ah Chou came along—if Qiuqiu had come on her own, she might've fainted from fear by now.

The Domestic Cat group wasn't a big deal, so it was scheduled pretty early. Not long after Shen Luo arrived, someone asked him to put a leash on Qiuqiu and take her up.

He leashed Qiuqiu, and then Ah Chou as well. A staff member pointed at Ah Chou and joked, "This one's entering too?"

Shen Luo shook his head. "Nah, he's not competing. They're a couple. The one competing's really timid, she's better with him around."

The staff hadn't seen anything like it before—cats showing up with their spouse as moral support. It was kinda funny.

Once they checked in, got their number, took the official photo, and did all the prep stuff, Shen Luo got in line with Qiuqiu.

Before long, the host announced the start of the contest.

The cat beauty contest was pretty straightforward. The owners led their cats around the stage for the judges to see their posture, gait, and coat. Then they brought the cat over for a closer inspection—coat distribution, face shape, eye color, body length measurements, and so on. After all that, the cats were placed on a cat tower to wait for results.

Shen Luo took a good look around. Even though these cats had made it through a photo screening, there was still a wide range—coat colors were all over the place, some cats were chubby, some skinny. But Shen Luo honestly thought none of them looked as good as Qiuqiu.

Soon, it was their turn. Shen Luo handed Ah Chou off to a staff member and walked Qiuqiu onstage.

Before going up, he'd spent a while calming Qiuqiu down. Only then did she stop looking like she was about to pass out.

They walked a lap around the stage, and then Shen Luo carried Qiuqiu over to the judges. When they saw her, a few of them nodded slightly.

Qiuqiu had a mix of ginger and white fur. She was long-bodied, with white fur as pure as snow, and the orange patches were so bright they almost glowed. She ate the same stuff as any other cat, so Shen Luo had no idea why she turned out looking this stunning. Her eyes were kind of special too—at first glance they seemed average, but if you looked closely, you could see hints of blue-green in them.
