Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 254

[Chapter 243 The Red-haired Rat]

After Zheng Tan stayed there for a day, he couldn’t stay there anymore, because none of those cats meant to leave this area. Even if a cat went out, Zheng Tan didn’t dare to keep up with him at will. He didn’t know whether the other party was going in the direction. The way he went back.

And the red-striped cat that brought him has stayed in the nearby area since he came back. When it ran out last night, Zheng Tan followed with anticipation, only to find that it was just going for food, not at all. It means to go out.

Zheng Tan was lying on a branch pondering, thinking of a way to go back. When he came to the practice base, he did not bring a collar, nor did he bring any signal tracker or anything. Maybe even if he did, it would be useless. Listen to lead the team. The teacher said that the members of the field test team said in their records that in many places in the mountainous and forested area of Qishan City, no signal was detected at all, and the compass was useless. It was probably due to geological and magnetic fields.

This is also one of the reasons why this vast mountain and forest area has never been taken down by people.

Zheng Tan was in a hurry to leave. One was that the people at Jiao’s house were worried, and the other was that he felt that he was not very safe here…

There are not many cats gathered here, but female cats are the majority, and one by one They are all very sturdy, and each one is at least one lap stronger than Zheng Tan. Even the smallest cat here, who is estimated to be underage, is a little bit bigger than Zheng Tan, and his temperament is a little bit cruel, don’t let it go. Saying that Zheng Tan couldn’t accept what happened to the cat, he would take ten thousand steps back and say that even if he could accept it, it wouldn’t be a pleasant experience.

Thinking about it makes me tremble.

Just as I was thinking, a voice came from under the tree.

A few cats over there are fighting over a mouse again.

When Zheng Tan came here, in addition to seeing the red-haired lead cat, he also saw a red-haired wild boar, and a red-haired mouse, the kind of red-haired mouse that the cats were chasing.

Yesterday, a nearly 20-centimeter red-haired mouse was taken up by the leading cat into a tree for dinner.

Later, there were several little red-haired mice caught by those cats, probably the cubs of the big mouse. It seems that the leading big cat dug out a mouse’s nest.

The little red-haired mice, the cats scrambled for food as if they saw a delicacy, and even fought to grab a little mouse.

The red tabby cat got into a fight with another cat yesterday.

After winning, he immediately ate the small red-haired mouse.

For fear of being robbed by other cats if one is not careful.

From yesterday to now, Zheng Tan ate a few fruits, a bird’s egg, and a fish caught in a stream.

The fruit is to see a cat nibbled twice.

Zheng Tan saw no poison.

Just ate a few fruits from that tree, the taste was okay, and the bird eggs were when the cats were catching birds.

The bird eggs that fell in the grass were not wanted by the cats, so Zheng Tan fished them out. To those cats, the bird eggs were just toys. When they were bored, they fiddled with them and used them as balls to play with. As for eating, they were not interested.

Zheng Tan thought about the experience of eating fish. Maybe it was the cat’s tolerance for the fishy smell. Zheng Tan had a hard time eating it, but he didn’t feel nauseated after eating, and he didn’t eat the internal organs and fish head. That Zheng Tan couldn’t keep his mouth shut. After catching the fish, Zheng Tan cut open the fish with his claws to remove the internal organs and washed it several times with the water of the stream. The water in the

stream was very clear. As for parasites and microorganisms, Zheng Tan now It’s impossible to care about that much. If you don’t care about it, you should fill your stomach first. Those cats also eat the fish here and drink the water here. They live well and grow strong and healthy. Zheng Tan believes that he should be able to bear it .

Looking at the sun rising and setting, Zheng Tan was heartbroken and decided to go out and try. Even if he couldn’t get back to the base, this forest is not the Amazon jungle. If you walk in one direction, be careful and you will always be able to out?

The big deal is another ten days and a half months or a few months of wandering life. It would be good to be able to go back. I don’t know when I can wait for those cats to go out. If they don’t go out any more, then I don’t want to stay forever. it’s here?

After making the decision, Zheng Tan got down from the tree and looked around. There were several cats playing around. The red tabby cat was sleeping on the tree, while the leading cat looked at the birds flying by and flirted. He pouted, thinking about where to go for food at night.

Would you like to say hi?

Zheng Tan sneered in his heart, the language was not clear, so he said hello.

I remember when I came, it seemed that I came from there. If there is a stream, if you see the big wild boar, let’s walk along the stream.

After Zheng Tan determined the direction, he raised his foot and walked over there.

When he was leaving, Zheng Tan felt that the leading cat was looking at him, without stopping or making other movements.

After walking for about 50 meters, Zheng Tan heard a call from behind. It was the red tabby cat. It had come down from the tree and ran towards Zheng Tan. Perhaps it realized that Zheng Tan was leaving, and it came to stop He. Retained, but before it could get close, the lead cat jumped down and slapped it, preventing the tabby cat from coming.

The red tabby cat pressed its ears and seemed very unhappy. It thought that Zheng Tan was a good cat and would be a good friend, so he brought it back directly, how could he leave?

After stopping the red tabby cat and making sure it wouldn’t come, the leading cat walked in Zheng Tan’s direction. The big round body made Zheng Tan a little stressed, but Zheng Tan didn’t feel any maliciousness or threat.

The lead cat paused when passing by Zheng Tan, glanced at Zheng Tan, then continued walking, walked a little further, and looked back at Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan’s heart skipped a beat, this is the rhythm to lead the way!

He followed quickly, ran two steps, and Zheng Tan stopped and turned around. The tabby cat was still standing there.

If it is a cat living in this jungle, it would be good to stay here, but unfortunately Zheng Tanzhi is not here, nor is he a real cat, he actually wants to help the tabby cat to be a comfortable shelter from the rain However, it was later discovered that it would be a bit more conspicuous to build it. If someone came here, they would probably find that with Zheng Tan’s ability, he couldn’t make a too hidden nest.

Since these cats are living well here, they must have their survival skills, so Zheng Tan will not have much to do.

If I can leave smoothly, I probably won’t come here in the future.

Zheng Tan thought.

Taking a last look over there, Zheng Tan raised his heels to meet the cat in front of him.

It was a little different from what Zheng Tan thought.

Zheng Tan has no memory of the place where the lead cat took Zheng Tan. It was different from the scene he remembered when he came yesterday. On the way, the cat also caught a red-haired mouse, which is probably the same as those little red-haired mice before. The rats are in a litter, but I didn’t expect to be hit by the big cat.

The red-haired rat’s tail was stepped on by the lead cat. Compared with the lead cat’s paws, the red-haired rat was really not enough to look at.

Zheng Tan looked at it, the lead cat didn’t seem to care about such a little red-haired mouse, when those cats were robbing the little red-haired mouse today.

The big cat didn’t even bother to glance.

The two cat paws fiddled with the red-haired mouse.

The lead cat was no longer interested, and moved the half-dead red-haired mouse to Zheng Tan’s side.

Zheng Tan lowered his head and looked at the red-haired rat that rolled his belly on the ground and was panting in front of his claws, but no other movements seemed to be moving like he was dying.

In the past few days, he has eaten snakes and fish, but he has never eaten mice.

To kill is to kill.

Can get the claws but not the mouth.

The lead cat continued to move forward.

Zheng Tan ignored the red-haired mouse lying on the ground, and planned to follow, but he didn’t think the lead cat saw Zheng Tan didn’t move the red-haired mouse.

He turned around and moved the red-haired mouse to Zheng Tan’s feet.

Does this mean you won’t lead the way if you don’t eat mice?

But Zheng Tan really doesn’t want to eat this, at least now he can’t eat it.

The two cats just stood there, on the bar.

Zheng Tan was helpless, wouldn’t he be staring at him like this all the time?

But the cat in front of him still looked at him with a look of “I don’t know what to do”.

How to do?

Zheng Tan looked around, his eyes fell on a vine plant, he tore off a section of the vine, removed the leaves on the vine, and then tied the red-haired rat on the ground with the vine, and the extra one. A small piece of vine is held in its mouth.

After finishing, Zheng Tan raised his chin towards the cat in front of him: Is that all right?

The leading cat looked at Zheng Tan, and then at the thing that was bound like a silkworm cocoon, looked at Zheng Tan with contempt, and then raised his feet and walked forward.

It doesn’t matter if you despise it, as long as you lead the way, anyway, everyone will return to the bridge and return to the bridge after the road, out of sight and out of mind.

Zheng Tan thought to himself.

However, after continuing to follow for a while, after the cat in front ate a few insects that he didn’t know what it was, Zheng Tan became more and more suspicious. Could it be that this big cat is actually trying to come out for food?

Since there is no better way for the time being, Zheng Tan still follows it and continues to walk, the big deal is to wait for the cat to finish its foraging and then follow it back to the forest.

And the red-haired rat, bound like a silkworm cocoon, was thrown to and fro along with Zheng Tan’s running.

Zheng Tan didn’t bother to pay attention to its life or death. He was played like that by the lead cat just now. He probably died soon. Anyway, he wasn’t going to eat the red-haired rat, so he just threw it away.

About half an hour later, Zheng Tan jumped on a tree, climbed to a high place, and looked at the setting sun. He felt that the sense of direction that had disappeared for a day and a night came back, and he felt at ease.

This is not the place he walked through when he came, it was a little off, but not far, Zheng Tan felt that he could find the way when he came.

And the lead cat, after bringing Zheng Tan here, turned around and went back. Maybe it knew that cats like them could not run away at will, let alone appear in the area of human living, so it had to guard this place. , this area has never been entered by humans.

As for the tabby cat, it was probably just an accident at the base.

Ordinary people have ordinary ways of living, and they have special ways of living. Zheng Tan can’t adapt to their life, and they can’t adapt to the life that Zheng Tan wants.

Looking at the mountains and forests that could not be seen under the twilight, Zheng Tan took a deep breath and prepared to drive to the base overnight. As for the half-dead red-haired rat…

eh?

!

Zheng Tan lowered his head and found that the red-haired mouse, which he had tied like a mummy, was nibbling on the vine energetically. The vine was bitten open by the movement of its two front teeth. Compared with the red-haired mouse, the vine had The teeth are much thicker, and Zheng Tan thought that the vine was quite sturdy before, but he didn’t expect this red-haired rat to easily open a big hole like it was biting tofu, and it was about to bite.

There was no movement just now, and it was like this in a blink of an eye.

Noticing that Zheng Tan was looking at it, the red-haired rat who had squeezed half of its head out of the vine fiercely showed Zheng Tan its two little white teeth.

Zheng Tan now understands that this red-haired rat is also looking at the object. If the lead cat is there, this bitch will only dare to pretend to be dead!

Zheng Tan squinted at the red-haired rat showing a fierce light.
