Chapter 45: The Cat That Gets Hard
Morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Zi'an stretched his waist and got up from the bed.
It was his parents' room, and the bed was also a double bed for his parents.
If you ask him why he changed rooms, the reason is simple: his room was requisitioned by Fina.
When my parents bought this two-story building, they left the best room on the second floor to Zhang Zi'an as a bedroom, because although the room was smaller, the window was facing a small green space on the corner, not facing the street, it was quiet, and the air was good, suitable for studying. The worst room on the second floor was used as a storage room, and the parents' room was larger, but outside the window was an alley, and people often passed by.
Last night, Fina saw Xinghai's crib and unceremoniously asked for a similar, but a princess bed with a light veil. In a hurry, Zhang Zi'an got the princess's bed somewhere, so he had to let it sleep in his bed first, and he was disgusted by it.
After washing up and going downstairs, Xinghai was going around several display cases, running after his tail, as if he was playing hide and seek with himself.
"Good morning, Xinghai!"
"Meow, good morning, Zi'an, do you want to play hide and seek?" Xinghai looked at him expectantly.
"It's good, but let's fill my stomach first...... I envy you for not having to eat. Zhang Zi'an patted his empty stomach.
"Who told you that you don't have to eat in this palace?" Fina patrolled around the store early in the morning, as if this place was its territory, and at this time it stopped, and its turquoise eyes glared at Zhang Zi'an, "But you want this palace to eat the same thing as those ordinary cat people? This is an insult to this palace!"
Zhang Zi'an said that this gold cat is too difficult to serve, and he really has a headache, "Okay, you want to eat grilled fish, right? I'll buy it when I have time today." But I declare in advance that I have never grilled fish, and I am not sure if the grilled fish will be edible......"
Fina looked at her with disdain: "What do you want to do with that?"
Zhang Zi'an: "......"
He thought that Fina didn't need to eat like Xinghai, but it didn't seem to be the case, maybe it was because Fina was a cat that once existed?
He had no guess as to where Fina came from. It must have been a cat from ancient times, and the physical characteristics of cats at that time were different from those of today's cats, after all, domestic cats evolved in the direction expected by humans through human intervention.
In fact, it is not appropriate to say "evolution", this kind of evolution is just a unilateral expectation of human beings, so that cats develop in the direction of "birds according to people", but it is a kind of survival degradation for cats, such as hairless cats and folded ear cats.
Fina was the most well-proportioned and toned of any cat he had ever seen, with strong, but not over-developed muscles hidden under her satin-like golden fur, a steady gait, and a clear, piercing gaze that showed her vigorous vitality at all times. If we talk about evolution, this should be the most ideal evolutionary direction for cats.
Of course...... In terms of personality, even if it is too bad, this beckoning cat has a bad personality, always speaks in a pretending tone, and picks and chooses, sleeps in the princess bed, eats only roasted sea fish, disdains canned cat food, and only drinks mineral water - last night Zhang Zi'an was forced to go to the small shop next to him to buy water, and the domestic mineral water he bought wrinkled a bitter gourd face after tasting it, and finally reluctantly swallowed it.
God knows how its previous owner raised it so badly! Is this to raise it as a princess?
Is it a beckoning cat or a gold worshipper?
It's still the sea of stars that is cute, every time I see the sea of stars, I will be healed......
Zhang Zi'an was silently thinking about whether there were any of these, and at the same time he wanted to start today's clean-up work, and then open for business......
Huh? He found his job to be extra easy today.
The kittens have not been put back in the display case, Zhang Zi'an put a few cat litter boxes in the corner according to Fina's instructions, and then spread the cat litter, and a few kittens obediently went to the cat litter box to solve physiological problems, saving the time of cleaning up several display cases, and now he only needs to clean the display cabinets of Samoyed and Schnauzer.
The same goes for feeding and drinking, Zhang Zi'an put a basin of water and a bowl of food in another corner, and several kittens lined up to eat and drink. There are also two sets of water basins and two food bowls, one is placed flat on the ground for the British and American short Siamese, and the other is raised with discarded books for flat-faced long-haired cats such as the Persian cat - otherwise, the hair on the beard and neck of the Persian cat will be stained with water and food debris after eating and drinking, and it will take extra time to clean up.
More cats, less work?
Choosing between Fina's pretending and heavy work, Zhang Zi'an can only choose to continue to endure Fina's pretending face, after all, the capable pretending is really pretending, and if you don't have the ability, you can still force the pretending to be stupid......
Zhang Zi'an felt that it would be nice if Fina could even command those two dogs, but unfortunately this was absolutely delusional......
Samoyed and Schnauzer looked at the kittens who were having fun on the ground, wondering, why could they play outside while we were locked up in a display case?
Zhang Zi'an said: Let's have a good baby in the next life.
Since the clean-up work ended early, Zhang Zi'an opened the door early, although it was impossible to have customers so early.
Another reason to open the door early is to put a new sign at the door.
The sign is handwritten with a highlighter on a wooden board, which is extremely rudimentary, and the characters are quite ugly, after all, it is rare to write with a pen now.
The content on the sign reads: Our store provides a paid bath service for cats.
The content was a bit long, and he wanted to condense it, but found that no matter which word he removed, it was not appropriate.
Changed to: The store provides paid bathing services? No, people think that this is a bathhouse or a bathing city, especially the word "service" leads people to reverie, maybe there will be unscrupulous guests to ask for special services......
Changing "cat" to "pet"?
Remove the "store"? still can't do it, there is no subject in a word, and OCD can't afford to hurt!
Remove the "charges" and what do you think?
Changed to: Cat charges for bathing? What's more, this store manager is me or a cat......
That's it, don't change.
"Do you have a new business here?" Sun Xiaomeng's voice came from behind, and his words were full of doubt. Her home is in the south of the city, and her pet clinic is at the north exit of Zhonghua Road, so she will pass by the Qiyuan pet store located at the south exit of Zhonghua Road every morning when she goes to the clinic to open, sometimes get out of the car for a while, and sometimes stop to say hello, such as today.
"Of course, if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful. Zhang Zi'an said.
"Can you do it alone?" she knew very well how hard it was to bathe a cat, especially someone else's.
"Why don't you help me?"
"Don't dream! I'll go first, and there will be an appointment early in the morning. She deliberately showed off that she had a guest there, and then stepped on the gas pedal and left, and her voice floated from afar: "Don't forget to come to my shop in a week's time." ”
It was as if she had won the bet......
