Chapter 880: Sterilization Surgery
Wang Qian and Li Kun saw Zhang Zi'an take out granular cat food and immediately understood what he meant.
"Master, do you want to feed these stray cats?" Wang Qian confirmed.
"Well, there are so many stray cats, I'm afraid there is not enough food for them nearby. Zhang Zi'an replied.
Wang Qian persuaded without hesitation: "But...... The more you feed it, the more cats there are, right? And if you feed it every day, it will cost a lot of money for cat food......
If you can easily find food here, instead of risking being thrown bricks by bear children to rummage through garbage bins and garbage bags in residential areas, stray cats will definitely choose the former, and the more cats gather here, and the number of stray cats will explode with each other.
Of course, Zhang Zi'an has also considered this problem, but he can't think of any other way for the time being, the stray cats gathered here have caused some trouble to the surrounding residents, which he asked Lu Yiyun to verify, and she also said that some people in her rented community complained that stray cats rummaged through the garbage bins and made the ground full of garbage.
If this continues, the surrounding residents will definitely be even more disgusted, so it is better for him to feed the stray cats, fix them in this green space, and stop causing trouble everywhere.
"Don't think about it so much, you come and feed them twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, and let them get into the habit of eating here. Zhang Zi'an commanded.
"Okay. ”
Now that Zhang Zi'an had made up his mind, Wang Qian and Li Kun had no choice but to obey the order, each carrying a small bucket of cat food and putting it in the gathering area of stray cats.
At first, when the stray cats saw people coming, they were afraid to stay away and hide in the grass and did not dare to approach. After a while, they saw Wang Qian and Li Kun go back, and their natural curiosity made them return to their own territory, lowered their heads and sniffed the granular cat food, licked it again, and found that it seemed to be eating.
When one stray cat starts to eat, other stray cats follow suit, and even scuffle and snatch each other, obviously the amount of cat food is enough, but they all want to monopolize more.
All of a sudden, the grass was full of chickens and dogs, and the shrill meows of cats were incessant.
Wang Qian and Li Kun were still a little worried, afraid of being scratched by stray cats or something, and they had to go to the epidemic prevention station to inject vaccines, so they put down the cat food and came back, standing aside and watching.
Cats are not social animals and are destined to not live in harmony with each other, but they will slowly form their own territory and sphere of influence, and they will not be so noisy at that time.
Wang Qian and Li Kun saw the stray cats jumping out of the grass one by one to grab food, and they originally planned to count their numbers, but they were soon dazzled and simply gave up.
There are a few bold stray cats, who may have been fed when they are usually rummaging through the garbage heaps in residential areas, and they are not so afraid of people, their stomachs are not full, and they don't bother to grab food with other cats, or they can't grab it, so they tentatively approached Zhang Zi'an and they cautiously, stopped a few meters away, and stared at the box they brought.
Lick your tongue, meow softly, and stretch on the ground.
These cats are old fritters who often deal with humans, and they know what kind of actions can please humans, and if they put on a little pose, stupid humans will obediently serve food with both hands.
However, the three here are all often dealing with cats, and they have long been immune to these cute actions, just like it is difficult for a yellow connoisseur who has read countless films to harden again......
Zhang Zi'an took a small plastic food bowl and put a handful of cat food into it, and sprinkled it very close in front of him, meaning: If you want to eat, come and eat.
There are a few cats, but there is only a small pot of cat food.
The cats looked disdainful at first, as if they were full of the temperament of not eating the food that came from it, but as soon as one cat approached the food bowl driven by appetite, the other cats could not sit still, and pushed each other and buried their heads in the food bowl.
At this time, Zhang Zi'an slowly approached from behind, picked up one coldly, and before it could understand, he put it into the cat cage opened by Wang Qian, and Li Kun locked it.
And then, another.
After a while, all but one of the greedy cats was put into cages, except for one clever and cunning cat.
They are confused in their cages and are not used to this small environment.
"Master, what are you doing catching cats? Do you want to sell stray cats?" Li Kun asked in confusion.
Before Zhang Zi'an could answer, he heard someone at the entrance of the green space say, "Hey, there is such a vacant land hidden here? I didn't know it before." ”
It was Sun Xiaomeng, and she looked around quite curiously as she walked inside. She is not an old resident of the neighborhood and only runs a clinic on Zhonghua Road because of the nearby Binhai University and several residential areas, which can strike a good balance between rent and foot traffic – in other words, not enough for her wallet.
"Coming?" Zhang Zi'an greeted.
She nodded, "What's the matter with calling me here?" If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known there was a big green space here, but it was too desolate for me to come at night. ”
"See these stray cats, right?" Zhang Zi'an gestured with his chin raised.
Without being reminded by him, she found out as soon as she came that there were a surprisingly large number of stray cats here, in the grass nests, among the branches, and under the benches...... There are cats everywhere. Cats are not social animals and do not normally gather so many cats in the same place.
"These cats...... You raised it all?" She noticed the remnants of the cat food on the ground, and naturally thought crookedly.
"How is it possible?" Zhang Zi'an complained: "If I had raised so many cats, I would have been poor! ”
"What?" Sun Xiaomeng thought he hadn't heard clearly, because there were so many cats here that he had a headache when he looked at them.
"I mean, there are so many stray cats here, it's almost flooded, and it's spring, it's breeding season, and if this continues, the number of stray cats here will more than double next spring, so you have to be spayed and neutered. Zhang Zi'an explained.
Sun Xiaomeng also knew the danger of a flood of stray cats, which would bring a devastating blow to the urban ecosystem, and would also cause trouble for the surrounding residents, but ......
"Who pays for the sterilization?" she said, pointing out the crux of the matter.
Zhang Zi'an: "...... Look at you, it's vulgar to talk about money. ”
Wang Qian and Li Kun looked at each other with understanding, knowing that Shizun wanted to use his three-inch tongue to fool people and wanted to prostitute for nothing.
But Sun Xiaomeng was not fooled, and said bluntly: "If it's one or two, no problem, I definitely don't talk about money, but I'm afraid there are not one or two hundred cats here, do you want to be tired and I won't give money?"
Zhang Zi'an shook his head, "I didn't let you do it all in one go, just do it in batches, make a few today, and make a few more when you are free the day after tomorrow......"
"I don't have time to spare. Sun Xiaomeng interrupted, "You think it's like you?"
She is not exaggerating, with the improvement of the reputation of the clinic, she has accumulated a lot of customer resources, basically every day from morning to night there are appointments, if you promise Zhang Zi'an, she can only work overtime for free, tired of a day to stand legs are sore, who doesn't want to rest early?
"She can let Long Xian practice her hands, doesn't she want to open an independent veterinary clinic in the future?" Zhang Zi'an said.
Long Xian is currently working as a nurse in Sun Xiaomeng's clinic to gain experience and funds, but one day her dream is to have her own pet clinic.
Sun Xiaomeng frowned and said embarrassedly: "But she hasn't passed the veterinary qualification certificate yet......"
"It's okay, let her do it behind closed doors after work, no one will know, besides, these cats are ownerless cats, who will care?" Zhang Zi'an spread his hands.
Sun Xiaomeng looked around at the stray cats here again, she had strongly refused before just to bargain, but she also knew that she could not let them continue to let themselves go, especially since she had recently come into contact with several cases of cats that had been injured by strangers, if the number of stray cats continued to grow, the situation might not be good.
As for letting Long Xian do the sterilization operation, it doesn't matter, because sterilization is a very simple and minor operation, and there will be no accidents.
"Okay, so be it. She sighed and reluctantly agreed.
"Don't always have a bitter face, wrinkles - in fact, you and Long Fiber don't have that much work, you just need to spay the female cat here. Zhang Zi'an comforted with a haha.
Sun Xiaomeng was stunned when she heard this, "Why do you only sterilize female cats?"
She didn't understand it very much, because even if it was sterilized, it was obviously less difficult to sterilize a male cat than a female cat, and theoretically as long as all the male cats here were sterilized, the breeding number of stray cats could be controlled. Of course, this is just a theory, in fact, there will always be new male cats coming here, so it is safe to do as much as possible to spay and neuter all male and female cats.
Zhang Zi'an smiled and replied lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, in short, I am responsible for the male cat, you and Long Xian only need to do it for the female cat-do it all? Then I don't object to it......"
“...... Okay, then you can send the female cat to be spayed to my clinic. I said in advance that Long Xian and I would only have surgery and nothing else. Sun Xiaomeng shook her head, she didn't want to mess with him anymore, and there were appointment customers waiting for her in the clinic.
"No problem. Zhang Zi'an agreed.
Wang Qian and Li Kun distinguished the male and female from the few cats they had just caught, and according to Zhang Zi'an's wishes, they left the male and the female to Sun Xiaomeng's clinic.
After they left with Sun Xiaomeng, Zhang Zi'an leisurely found a bench to sit down, and glanced at a white cat with surprisingly long hair and a wisp of black stripes on the wall.
The snow lion licked its paws, its eyes glowing with excitement.
"Meow meow meow! The old lady's claws are already hungry and thirsty!"
Its gaze was fixed on his crotch, "Let's use their balls first!"
