As soon as the price was mentioned, Tang Yuyun's attention suddenly shifted from the soft and cute little milk cat. She knows that breeds of cats are not cheap, as long as they carry a pedigree certificate, they can easily cost tens of thousands, especially when she heard that this store can also teach kittens to dance, and the price is more expensive than other stores.

She has more money, but after all, she is not a rich second generation, and she doesn't want to spend money in vain, so she presets a price in her heart, just waiting for Zhang Zi'an to say his offer.

Zhang Zi'an introduced: "The price of that little milk cat is 30,000 yuan, with documents such as pedigree certificate, immunization certificate and DNA screening certificate, is it acceptable?"

"30,000?" Tang Yuyun put on his coat and paused slightly, "It's a little expensive...... You can buy a Ragdoll at this price, right? And it's a good Ragdoll ......."

To be honest, this price somewhat exceeded her psychological expectations, and she had planned to spend a maximum of 25,000.

"Yes, if you want to buy a Ragdoll, we have it too, but Abyssinian cats are completely different from Ragdolls, their personalities are very different, and in my opinion, there is no comparison between the two cats. ”

It was not surprising that she was too expensive, but Zhang Zi'an tried his best to explain to her, showing that the money was worth it.

Betting on cats is like this, the pet-grade Abyssinian cat is indeed less than 30,000, and the certificate is complete, it is about 15,000 to 20,000, but once the little milk cat grows into a competition-level cat, and it is a very rare chocolate-colored competition-level cat, 30,000 yuan is more than that, if it is sold cheaply, he will lose too much.

He told her frankly about the risks and benefits involved, if she plans to wait for the little milk cats to grow up before choosing, it is okay, after all, if you raise them at home, there is no need to raise a competition-level one, a pet-level one is enough.

"Uh...... What is DNA screening? Sounds lofty......" After hearing this, Tang Yuyun did not rush to make a decision, but planned to ask clearly. Some of the pet stores and catteries she had visited before didn't mention it.

"This thing can't be said just by talking, you better come with me to take a look, seeing is believing, isn't it?" Zhang Zi'an led the way in front, and the two entered the pet store one after the other.

Tang Yuyun looked inside the store, and his eyes fell on the ragdoll kittens near the chaise longue, which were frolicking and rolling on each other, like a few small balls of yarn. The appearance of the ragdoll cat is really invincible, especially for the girl, and even she was slightly shaken when she had already made up her mind.

"Giggle!" she heard a few strange calls, and as she looked, several adult Abyssinian cats climbed on the frame like elves in the jungle, staring at her with wide, pale green eyes. After a moment's attention, they seemed to lose interest in her, chasing each other on the cat's climbing frame, their movements unobtrusive, and the explosive muscles could be seen under the smooth chocolate-colored fur. They play tirelessly and seem to have an infinite amount of energy in their bodies.

It couldn't be more stark than that.

The difference between a ragdoll and an Abyssinian is clear, with the former being more like a domestic cat in the conventional sense, while the latter is full of wild beauty. For example, the former is more like a delicate lady, while the latter is like a female high jumper who can participate in the Olympics, there is really no comparison, and it doesn't matter which one is prettier, it just depends on which one you like.

"That's the father of those little cats. Zhang Zi'an invited her to sit down and pointed to one of them for her to see.

It was a very handsome male cat, who did not participate in the chase of other cats, and squatted alone on the climbing frame of another cat, which stood out.

From this cat's body, Tang Yuyun vaguely saw what the little milk cat would look like when it grew up. She took out her phone and wanted to take a picture, but the male cat, who had been motionless before, immediately joined the chase of the other cats, and the action was lightning fast, and her phone lens could barely keep up with its speed, let alone focus, because the shutter speed was not high enough, and the photo was all blurry.

After several attempts, she regretfully put down her phone.

Lu Yiyun brought the relevant information and asked her to take a look.

"It's ...... English?" Tang Yuyun flipped through the documents in his hand and frowned slightly. She was fluent in reading books in foreign languages, but there was too much jargon in those documents.

Zhang Zi'an explained to her one by one: "Today's cats can actually be roughly divided into two kinds, one is the cat with an older bloodline, such as the Egyptian cat and the Abyssinian cat, which existed thousands of years ago, and the other is the new cat breed that has emerged in recent years, such as the Ragdoll cat, the folded ear cat and so on. ”

She nodded in understanding.

"This brings us to the issue of genetic diseases, have you heard of the genetic diseases of folded ear cats?" he asked.

"I've heard a little about it, do you mean that folded-eared cats are prone to hypochondriasis?" she said uncertainly, recalling what she had learned before.

"Pretty much. Zhang Zi'an continued, "Generally speaking, the older the cat breed, the healthier it is, and the fewer genetic diseases, after all, these cats have survived thousands of years ago to the present, and if the genes are unstable, they will be extinct long ago." The more new cat breeds there are, the more likely they are to carry the gene for a hereditary disease, because people often breed them for the purpose of intensifying and fixing their appearance. ”

"Back to the Abyssinian cat, which is generally healthy, but can suffer from pyruvate kinase deficiency, which can cause intermittent anemia if it occurs," he said. It is a genetic disorder that can be detected through genetic screening. Just now the 11 little milk cats have all undergone genetic screening, the specific method is to collect oral endometrial samples, and then mail to foreign professional testing institutions, the testing fee for each cat alone will cost dozens of dollars, plus the international courier fee is higher, after all, this is a biological sample, the courier fee is very expensive. Still, for the sake of their health, the tests that need to be done should be done, and this money cannot be saved. ”

"Oh. Tang Yuyun somewhat understood that there was a reason for the high price, not Zhang Zi'an's sky-high asking price.

"That'...... Is the test report out?" she was very concerned about whether the kitten was healthy and whether it might suffer from a serious genetic disease.

"Not yet, the courier has just been sent out. Zhang Zi'an showed the stub of the international express delivery, "After receiving the test results, I will notify you immediately." If there is a health hazard in that little milk cat, you can get a full refund, and you can also give you a discount if you insist on it, and you will never deliberately hide it, and you can rest assured about this. ”

His open and honest attitude makes Tang Yuyun appreciate it very much, for a pet that will accompany her for more than ten years, she is more inclined to spend more money to buy a peace of mind, and it is not easy to find a pet that has not been selected by others, if you miss this time, you don't know when you will wait next time, it will be to satisfy her obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In order to buy a cat, she spent a lot of effort, collected information everywhere, inquired about the news extensively, and her nerves were always very tense, for fear of missing it. Once she has made up her mind, she can be freed from anxiety, focus her time and energy on work and recharging, and maybe she will soon be able to earn back the extra difference, which can be regarded as her self-comfort.

After thinking about it, she quickly made a decision: "Okay, I bought it, let's go through the formalities now." Don't sell that little milk cat to anyone else......"

"Don't worry, Xiaoyun, take her through the pre-sale procedures. ”

Zhang Zi'an was also very relieved to hear this, and he glanced at Cathy's portrait, which showed her smiling brightly at the Abyssinian cats in the store. He always reminded himself that neither the cats nor the money from the sale of the cats belonged to him, but to Cathy, and that he was just the one who took care of the chocolate-colored Abyssinian to a more glorious stage, and only in this way would he not fail to live up to the responsibility entrusted to her.

The money from the sale of cats should be put to a more appropriate use.
