Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 41

[Chapter 36 The Survival of Cats in the Streets and Alleys]

Following “Li Yuanba” for a walk outside, I gained a lot. This trip has a great inspiring effect on Zheng Tan.

I heard that “Li Yuanba” was born as a stray cat. Obviously, he has more experience in living outside than other domestic cats. He can distinguish the good and evil factors of various people and animals in the environment well, even if he is walking on the sidewalk. Still calm, and when encountering those malicious people, the way to deal with them is also different.

For some people, if you make threats or intimidation, he will stay away; for some people, the more you show threats and intimidation, the more enthusiastic he will be.

Humans are like this, but as a cat, their status is lower and the situation they face will be more severe. Therefore, many animals living in the streets will run away when they see people, because they can’t clearly distinguish who is kind and who wants. To express malice, after being hurt a few times, it will form a conditional launch, and run away when it sees someone.

However, “Li Yuanba” was able to choose the best way to deal with it in a short period of time.

For example, when passing a milk tea shop, there was a couple sitting on the chair next to him. The man called out a few times, and he was holding a string in his hand, which was swinging, attracting the cat’s attention.

Cats are always more sensitive to the sound of “mi”, and prefer the kind of rope that can move.

But he didn’t expect “Li Yuanba” to go away from him instead.

Zheng Tan was very curious at the time, because before that, someone called “Li Yuanba” like this. Although “Li Yuanba” didn’t pass, he didn’t change his walking route.

But this time, after pulling its ears, it moved away directly, very simply.

Zheng Tan also followed it and changed his walking route.

Not too far away, Zheng Tan heard the man who was sitting next to the milk tea shop holding milk tea barking again, so he looked back and saw a cat passing by over there, standing on the flower bed, looking like a house cat with furry hair. Very clean and supple.

Hearing the man calling and seeing the swinging rope again, the cat leaned over there. The next moment, the man sprayed the milk tea with the straw in his hand, and the cat hid quickly. Some, only some hairs on the sides were dipped in milk tea.

So, the cat was not happy, and lowered its ears and made a low growl.

If Xiao Guo is here, you will know that this is a warning from the cat and may attack or run away at any time. In this case, it is best not to mess with it.

As a result, the cat’s reaction caused the man to squirt even more.

The cat was sprayed with milk tea, and ran into the greenery with a scream, leaving only the laughter of the couple.

Rubbish!

The laughter was too harsh, Zheng Tan tugged at his ears, and when he saw those two faces, he wanted to go up and scratch it twice.

Zheng Tan looked at “Li Yuanba”, it had gone far, as if he didn’t know what happened just now.

The fact that Lu Jianqiu draws a knife to help is simply nonsense to cats. No one is a superhero, let alone a cat trying to survive.

A cat’s life is worthless.

Zheng Tan retracted his gaze and quickly followed “Li Yuanba”.

After crossing the street corner, I met a couple again. Similarly, the man also made a “mi” sound and made some movements to attract the cat’s attention. The cat before meeting ignored him and threw a “Li Yuanba”. A small pebble.

What makes Zheng Tan different is that this time “Li Yuanba” has a completely different performance than before.

It lowered its ears, raised its whiskers, bared its fangs, and let out a low growl.

The man obviously flinched a little, and his movement of picking up stones froze. At this time, the girlfriend next to him pulled his arm, as if afraid of being scratched.

So they clapped the dust on their hands, and the two quickly left.

For different people,

different coping methods, there is no blind retreat, strong when it should be strong, and avoid conflicts neatly when it is not necessary.

This is the attitude that “Li Yuanba” adopts when walking on the street, which is different from the lifestyle of other cats.

Zheng Tan has been following it not far behind, so he can see everything that happened before clearly, the former couple and the latter couple did show personality differences, and their instant expressions change can make ” Li Yuanba” to choose the most suitable method.

And if you can’t do something like “Li Yuanba”, you can only do the same as other stray cats. When you see people outside, you can avoid them, no matter how attractive they come up with, you can’t go there, because you don’t know the next moment. Will it be sprayed dirty or stoned, and I don’t know if my warnings are effective for those people or make them worse.

Not the golden pet of Beverly Hills, as an ordinary domestic animal living in the city, either settle for the status quo, or learn more survival skills.

Survival isn’t easy for a cat that can’t stay indoors.

The lack of experience in the social environment is the biggest test for Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan is used to thinking about problems from a human perspective, but now, he is slowly changing.

He didn’t know how long he would continue in this cat form. If he could never go back, in order to survive, he still had to learn a lot and learn how to look at things from the perspective of an ordinary cat.

Zheng Tan didn’t want to give up this cat life easily.

After walking around with “Li Yuanba”, when they returned to the pet center, Xiao Guo and the others had just finished their work and were calling Zheng Tan’s cat name.

Seeing Zheng Tan coming from the back door, Xiao Guo didn’t doubt it, thinking that Zheng Tan was just walking around out of curiosity, completely unaware that the back door in his studio area had been turned over and over again.

Returning to Chuhua University and entering the East family area, the hustle and bustle outside seemed to settle down, and suddenly it was much cleaner.

Most of the students I saw on the road who were in a hurry for year-end activities or various exams had never experienced anything in the world.

Students in this era have a much simpler psychology than ten years later.

It is experience, not age, that makes people mature. Even if these students with no background or family background go out now, they are probably not as good as those of their peers who have been struggling for many years.

Zheng Tan jumped out of Xiao Guo’s car and looked up. Ah Huang was lying on the lawn basking in the sun. This guy never left the campus. Perhaps, for him, such a large area was enough for him to toss.

Next to him is a strong cow on a leash, and a little flower of a St. Bernard dog napping on the grass.

Compared with her body size, Xiaohua is several times larger than Niu Zhuangzhuang, but Niu Zhuangzhuang is tied, while Xiaohua is not, because of her personality.

This guy, Niu Zhuangzhuang, is quite friendly to a few animals that he has been familiar with since childhood, but for other unfamiliar pets, he rushes up to fight.

Everyone in the compound remembers the thief’s leg that was bitten at the time of the robbery case, and they don’t feel relieved if they are not tied.

As for Xiaohua, several children in the courtyard often play with Xiaohua. Everyone knows that Xiaohua has a gentle temperament. Apart from drooling, her impression is not bad.

Seeing Zheng Tan, Ah Huang stretched out on his side and let out a “meow”.

When the cry is low and gentle, it means that it is greeting you and welcoming you, and it also means that it is in a good mood at the moment, and it is regarded as an answer to you.

When it screams loudly, it may be complaining, or begging, such as being hungry and asking for food.

Xiao Guo followed Zheng Tan upstairs. Every time he came back, it was like this. One was in a hurry to go home, while the other walked slowly behind.

Sometimes when Zheng Tan is sent back after shooting an advertisement, Xiao Guo will bring some photos taken during the advertisement to the Jiao family, and this time too.

When entering the door, Jiao’s mother was cooking dinner, Jiao Yuan, who came back from school early in the living room, was sitting on the small bench, and Jiao’s father was sitting on the sofa, as if he was talking, probably teaching him something other than books.

Xiaoyouzi has an interest group class today. She is taking a painting class and will be back in a while. When Aunt Ling picks up the child, she will pick up Xiaoyouzi by the way, so there is no need for Jiao’s parents and Jiao’s mother to go there.

Seeing Zheng Tan and Xiao Guo come in, the conversation between the father and son stopped. When Xiao Guo put down his things and had a cup of tea, they chatted about today’s advertisement. After they said goodbye and left, the conversation between the father and son continued.

Zheng Tan squatted on his special chair and listened to their conversation.

Jiao Dad is talking about the “broken window effect”.

And this topic started when Jiao Yuan complained about some phenomena in the class after returning home, such as copying homework.

In today’s Chinese class, the teacher severely criticized several students who copied homework. In Jiao Yuan’s view, other classes also copy homework, why is the Chinese teacher so serious.

After Jiao Dad heard Jiao Yuan’s complaint, he pulled over and started “classing”.

The broken window effect is that if someone breaks the window glass of a building and it is not repaired in time, others may be given some suggestive connivance to break more glass.

The result: in this insensitive atmosphere, crime thrives.

“Behaviour and environment are strongly suggestive and inductive to people. If the first broken window is not repaired in time, more serious things may happen. Similarly, your classmates will also think that copying homework is desirable. , an effective time-saving means, and then continue to copy…”

Zheng Tan looked at Jiao’s father and then at Jiao Yuan again, confused.

Why talk to a primary school student about such profound truths?

Anyway, Zheng Tan himself had done everything from elementary school to university, copying homework, being late, fighting, extorting…all things, except for a few words from the teacher that didn’t hurt, he didn’t have any constraints. They are all things that can be solved by throwing money. Since throwing a little money can solve the problem, why complicate it?

After thinking about it, Zheng Tan still squatted there and listened to Jiao’s father giving Jiao Yuan a “class”, and the topic had extended from class phenomena to business management.

“There are usually two types of environments for enterprise development, one is hard environment, such as office conditions, machinery and equipment, road facilities, etc.; the other is soft environment, such as working atmosphere, corporate culture, interpersonal relationships, management style, etc. For example Your uncle Mariko, he is paying attention to these ‘broken windows’ in the company now. As soon as the ‘broken windows’ in the hard environment have problems, they will be repaired and remedied immediately. In the soft environment, the ‘broken windows’ have even more influence and cannot be Relax your vigilance.

Behind any major problem is the complex accumulation of many problems, so your uncle Yuanzi has always been very careful, and once you find a situation, take timely measures, because those may affect the company’s reputation, and word of mouth is people I will give you a curse from Uncle Yuanzi’s company. No matter how capable you are, no matter how arrogant you are, if you want to develop well, you have to take those ‘broken windows’ seriously!

Just like your class, if your reputation is not good, you will be out of your house. I’m embarrassed to talk about the people in my class, right?”

Jiao’s father’s last words made Jiao Yuan extremely recognized, there is a class in their grade like this, and the reputation is very poor.

At first, I heard that someone’s pen eraser was stolen from the class, and the class and the teacher didn’t pay much attention to it. Later, bad incidents such as money theft gradually spread, so everyone took special precautions for the people in that class. The classmates in the class are embarrassed to report to the class while walking, for fear of being despised and rejected by others.

“As another example, the impact of this chain can also be explained from another opposite angle. For example, if your mother bought you a pair of new socks with a Transformers pattern that you like, you will definitely subconsciously wear new socks. Go choose some new and clean shoes, and if you wear shoes, you will definitely wear a pair of trousers that fit the shoes. After choosing the pants, you should also match the top and jacket. After wearing, you will definitely avoid getting dirty. , so, after such a process, your whole person’s image will change.”

“Oh, I understand this, just like Xiong Xiong, because he likes a hunchback, he said many times that the hunchback is not tall, but he still can’t hear it. , He is still hunchbacked as usual, because he is already considered tall in the class, so he doesn’t care. However, since he wore the new clothes that his mother carefully selected for him that day, he has stopped hunchback, and usually pays attention to being straight Back. Because when his mother gave him the clothes, he said that the clothes must be worn with a straight back to look good and attract girls!” Jiao Yuan said.

Zheng Tan: “…” Is this encouraging puppy love?

When Dad Jiao heard Jiao Yuan’s words, he thought about it for two seconds, and said, “So you are alluding to…”

“When will I buy new clothes for the Chinese New Year? Wouldn’t you just perfunctory me with a pair of socks?”

Zheng Tan: “…” It’s really tiring to hear this father and son talk!

There are so many great truths and potential topics from an ordinary class phenomenon!

The custom here is that children buy new clothes during Chinese New Year. As for adults, it depends on the conditions of each family.

Dad Jiao was not surprised by Jiao Yuan’s answer, he said, “What kind of clothes can you buy and how much your requirements are met, it still depends on your performance.”

“Of course! If I take the top five in the class, the clothes requirements will be enough. It’s all up to me?”

“Okay.”

“Even if I buy something edgier, less mainstream, and more aggressive with rivets?”

“Okay. If you want to spray mousse, it will satisfy you.”

” it is good!”

Jiao Yuan got the answer he wanted, and dragged his schoolbag to the room to do his homework. Near the end of the term, UU was reading www.sonicmtl.

com for their New Year’s gift, but also to fight.

After Jiao Yuan entered the room, Jiao’s mother came out with a vegetable plate, looked at the door of Jiao Yuan’s closed room, and Jiao’s father said, “The kid has made another condition

?

” Then if you really get into the top five in the test, you will let him wear that kind of clothes?”

“It’s okay, when you take him to a place that sells toy guns, he will have to change his mind. You can only choose the same toys and clothes. He definitely chooses the former. Last year, he was jealous of that one, and he got sixth in the test, but he couldn’t buy it back.”

“What if I can’t get the top five?” Jiao Ma asked again.

“The standard for the top five is set by himself, and he has to be responsible for what he says. If he really fails the test, buy him a toy gun, don’t ask for the bigger one, buy the smaller one, you can’t let this kid feel that You can get what you want without talking.” Jiao Dad said calmly.

Zheng Tan listened beside him and really worried for Jiao Yuan.

Jiang is still old and hot, when will he be able to escape from Jiao Dad’s Wuzhi Mountain?
