Chapter 122 - 122: The Big-Eyed Cat
Under normal circumstances, there was no need for them to catch the cat. However, the girl who reported this matter told them that the cat became aggressive and even attacked people after it had kittens. The residents nearby had complained about it due to its aggressive nature. If they did not catch the cat and bring it away, there was a possibility that the cat would be killed.
After some consideration, they decided to bring the cat away. However, it was just as reported; the cat’s temper was really quite… fierce. It looked weak and pitiful, but it would bend its back, and its hair would stand on ends as it hissed, looking as though it was going to attack at any given moment as soon as they approached.
“The cat is hiding inside with her kittens. You can’t see them now. I took a short video earlier so you can have a look,” Gu Yuwu said.
The stray cat had white fur, and despite being dirty, it was very good-looking. Its eyes were big and green, and its ears were slender.
Lin Xiaowan, who had been drawing a lot recently, suddenly thought of a pitiful young woman with messy hair wearing a white dress when she looked at the cat. She thought to herself, ‘Wow! I’m really good at imagining things…’
Meanwhile, the few people from the Animal Rescue Association were still trying to lure the cat out. However, it was extremely vigilant. It completely ignored the treats and the food in front of it.
This was Lin Xiaowan’s first time seeing such a scene so she was a little reluctant to leave. She asked, “Can I stay and take a look?”
“Of course. I don’t have anything to do today. Let’s go for a meal later?” Gu Yuwu replied. Then, she remembered that Lin Xiaowan came to look at the art exhibition so she looked at the time before she said, “At this time, you should be done with the art exhibition, right?”
“Yes, we were on the way to the underground parking lot actually,” Lin Xiaowan said before she turned to Xiao Han and continued to say, “Senior Brother, I won’t leave with you.”
Xiao Han looked at the sky worriedly before he said, “Alright. However, the weather is bad. You guys should leave early.”
After Xiao Han left, Lin Xiaowan was worried she would disturb the live broadcast if she went over to take a look. She felt more at ease when she found out that they were only filming.
The white female cat sat next to her kittens as she looked around vigilantly. From time to time, it would comfort the kittens that were mewling.
Lin Xiaowan could not see clearly so she tiptoed to have a better look. She asked, “How many kittens are there?”
The female cat had chosen to make its nest in a hole in the cement ground. There were pieces of rotten wood around the opening, slightly concealing the situation inside. It was dark and almost nothing could be seen.
The female stayed in the hole, refusing to come outside.
Previously, the rescuers had used a small torchlight to see the situation inside. However, the female cat was particularly sensitive to light so they only took a quick look.
One of the people replied to Lin Xiaowan, “It seems like there are three or four of them? However, I’m not too sure since we didn’t have a good look.”
Just as everyone was thinking of ways to lure the cat out, a slender Dragon Li cat with stripes suddenly walked toward the hole where the female cat and treats were.
Everyone was slightly stunned.
“Eh? Is this one a stray as well?”
The rescuers observed the new cat for a moment.
“I don’t think so. It doesn’t seem afraid of humans…”
Previously, the girl who reported this matter also said that there were a few domestic cats in the area. However, she was not sure if they belonged to a family or if they were raised collectively by the community.
The Dragon Li ate the cat food in a leisurely manner. After taking a few bites, it began to meow. It looked at everyone before it turned its attention to the female cat.
No one acted rashly and continued to observe the situation.
After a while, someone speculated out loud, “Perhaps the two cats know each other… After the Dragon Li cat came, the female cat didn’t seem as nervous as before…”
Gu Yuwu laughed and chimed in, “Maybe it’s the father of the kitten! In fact, this Dragon Li cat is quite handsome!”
Lin Xiaowan looked at the Dragon Li cat for a long time, but she still could not figure out its gender. She asked, “How can you tell its gender?”
Gu Yuwu said with a smile, “1 was just guessing as well.”
The cats meowed at each other, and at this point, it was clear that they were familiar with each other. After a long time, the female cat finally raised its tail and deigned to take a few steps out of the hole. Its small steps were graceful and elegant, making it look just like a little lady. At the same time, it also did not forget to stare at the two-legged beasts around her.
After dawdling for a long time, the female cat finally sat down next to the Dragon Li cat and lowered its head to eat. It had only taken two bites of the canned food when a clap of thunder rang in the sky. Shocked, it leaped up, but before it ran away, a huge net fell down and accurately captured it. The net did not only capture the female cat, but it captured the Dragon Li cat as well.
The rescuers also did not expect the net would come in handy at this moment.
The female cat kept struggling and crying while the rescuers put on gloves so they could carry it into the cage they had prepared.
On the contrary, the Dragon Li cat was like a little fool. It did not resist when it was carried, and it stared at everyone with its bright eyes in a daze as though it did not know what was happening.
The rescuer who was carrying the Dragon Li cat turned it around to have a look before he laughed and said, “This is also a female cat. It’s not the kittens’ father.”
The thunder was like a warning. As soon as they had settled the two cats down, bean-sized raindrops began to fall. They barely had time to react before it rained heavily as the sounds of thunder continued to ring in the sky.
Gu Yuwu hurriedly pulled Lin Xiaowan away and said, “Let’s go to the car first.”
‘If Huo Zheng finds out that his beloved was drenched in the rain, it’d be terrible…’
Lin Xiaowan, who was still thinking about the cats, said, “Aren’t they going to bring the kittens away?”
As soon as Lin Xiaowan’s voice fell, the rescuers also completed the distribution of work. Two of them carried the cages and prepared to leave.
“Get into the car first. We’ll bring the kittens over..”
