Whether it's a pet store in China or a cattery in the United States, operators have to wake up early like hard-working bees, ventilate and clean, change cat litter, and wait for customers to come. Although the cat is a very clean animal, the smell of cat urine is very choking, and dozens of cats together are even more terrible.

Tim gets up before dawn and creeps out of the bedroom so as not to wake his wife. He stood in front of the kitchen counter, methodically frying eggs and toasting bread so that his wife could wake up with a hot breakfast as soon as she woke up. The morning sun poured over his shoulders through the window, softening the rough lines of the big man's face.

"Ding!"

The toaster crunched, and two slices of bread popped out.

Tim heard something, and he squinted his eyes and looked up into the distance of the block.

A van truck turns around the corner with the words "Blue Peak" on its body.

Tim put down what he was doing and quickly opened the door to greet him.

"Hey, Jeff!"

He waved at the truck.

Zhang Zian parked the car on the side of the road and got out of the car in good spirits. A Chinese driver's license can be used temporarily in California, which saves him a lot of trouble. He went to bed early last night, there was no TV in the wilderness, and the Internet was very poor, so he had to sleep without entertainment.

"Tim, good morning!" Richard, who was standing incognito on his shoulder, responded to Tim's greeting.

"You're back just in time, let's go in and have breakfast. Tim was anxious to find out about his kitten, but he couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Zi'an waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry for breakfast, come and help the handle, let's unload the car first and let the kittens in." ”

Tim opened the back door of the truck and was relieved to see that the kittens were all safe and sound, and he picked up the two flight boxes and carried them into the house. Zhang Zi'an also picked up two and followed behind him.

"How's it going, Jeff, is the training going well?" he asked casually, pretending not to care.

"It's good, these cats are smart and learn very quickly. Richard responded, "I think in two or three more days, they'll be fully learned." ”

"Oh my God, Jeff, are you serious?" said Tim, his heart pounding a few times. Although Zhang Zi'an said at the beginning that it would not take a few days, such a fast speed was really beyond his expectations.

"No kidding, of course. "In fact, Zhang Zi'an's training has been completed, but he has reservations to surprise these crooked nuts too much, and he has not lifted the last seal for the time being. He could not stay in the U.S. for long, so he did not add a special directive for the kittens similar to the transfer of ownership.

He and Tim went back and forth to carry the flight box, and soon all the kittens were moved into the house.

At this time, Lauren also got up, put on her clothes and went downstairs, and greeted Zhang Zi'an warmly, and Tim told her the good news that training was going well, and she was also very surprised, because it meant that it was time for Thanksgiving. They plan to throw a party in their backyard on Thanksgiving, invite relatives over and play, and the dancing kittens are sure to make a splash.

Tim and Lauren invited Zhang Zi'an to sit down for breakfast together, Zhang Zi'an was not polite, he had a belly of barbecue yesterday and urgently needed to replenish some carbohydrates. He devoured bread, omelettes, bacon and orange juice, and missed the steamed buns, skewers, tea eggs, soy milk and fried dough sticks on the Zhonghua Road......

"By the way, Tim, what day is the CFA Tour coming from?" he moved his shoulder as he gestured for Richard to confirm the question.

Since you are in the United States, in addition to visiting the famous attractions in Los Angeles, it is also good to be able to participate in the CFA Tour in person. Although there is also a CFA tour in China, it has never been held in Binhai City, and he is now a CFA certified cattery, if he doesn't take the opportunity to open his eyes, can he pretend to be good in front of others in the future?

Since 2016, the CFA has officially separated China into a separate zone - the China zone, while the rest of the world, including the United States, is an international zone, which means: You Chinese are too powerful, we can't play with you, so give you a separate place, you can entertain yourself.

The fuse of this incident came from another gossip.

The catteries of some famous Ragdoll cats in China have obtained a large number of points through fraudulent means such as set certificates, pad points, and frequent births of female cats in a short period of time. Under the strong protest of catteries in other countries, the CFA warrior broke his wrist and cut out the Chinese area.

The set of certificates is a traditional means of counterfeiting, just like the deck of the car; and the advance score is the malicious use of CFA competition rules, pulling a large number of cats as the denominator, and the CFA rules are the more cats in the competition, the higher the championship score; let the female cat give birth to frequent is more bad, and even gave birth to the second child less than 2 months after giving birth to the first child, completely the female cat as a fertility machine, was severely punished by the CFA.

Therefore, even if he gets a high-quality Ragdoll cat with the peak of blue, Zhang Zi'an is not interested in participating in China's CFA competition, which is completely a competition of who can exploit loopholes, who can cheat more, and who can be more ruthless with his own female cat...... Once it is linked to interests, many people have no bottom line. The so-called regular cattery sometimes performs worse than the pet home breeding base in private.

However, he is still somewhat interested in participating in the CFA competition in the United States, after all, it is barely a pure land.

Tim pushed the table up and walked over to the calendar hanging on the wall to look at some important dates marked with markers.

"If you don't mention it, I'll forget about it – today. Tim sat back down and took the last bite of the omelette into his stomach, "What? Jeff, do you want to go for it?"

"Today?" Zhang Zi'an was stunned, almost choked on the bread in his mouth, and hurriedly drank orange juice to suppress the shock.

When he was in China, he asked Tim this question, and Tim's answer at that time was tomorrow, why did it suddenly become today? Could it be that the CFA temporarily changed its itinerary?

"Wait a minute, Tim, I think you said it was tomorrow, how did it become today?" asked Richard on his behalf.

"Sorry, my bad. Tim waved his hand apologetically, "After flying from the United States to China, I was confused and got the date wrong, so I told you that it would be held tomorrow." ”

Zhang Zi'an also thought for a few seconds before he realized, did he mean that Tim had confused the date after flying over the International Date Line?

He always thought it was tomorrow, but luckily Richard confirmed it today, otherwise he would have missed it.

"I remember the tournament wasn't far from here?" asked Richard.

"Not too far, quick by car, I'll show you directions in a moment if you want to go. Tim said, suddenly hesitating, and asked again, "Jeff, are you going to take that golden cat to the race?"

Zhang Zi'an saw that his face was different, and he didn't know what he thought, Richard replied for him: "That's right, but it's just to have fun, and I don't plan to get any rankings." ”

"That's right......" Tim and Lauren exchanged glances.

"Is there any problem?" asked Richard, and Zhang Zi'an cooperated with a confused expression.

Tim said with some embarrassment, "Jeff, do you mind if I ask? If I'm not mistaken, your cat should be an Egyptian cat?"

"That's true. Zhang Zi'an nodded.

Tim sighed, "So, does it have a pedigree? You know, a cat can't participate in the CFA Championship without a pedigree." ”

Zhang Zi'an was speechless for a moment, this is really nothing!

His embarrassed look fell on Tim's eyes, which confirmed Tim's guess in his heart - the cat was probably not a purebred Egyptian cat, so there was no pedigree certificate.
