Chapter 452: Model Father

Xuan Ying squatted down and held the cat in her arms, this is a three-month-old kitten, the hair is not very long, the face and body are not fully grown, and it is not as beautiful as in the movie, but it is still very comfortable to hold in her arms.

"Excuse me, what kind of cat is this?" she asked softly, caressing its soft fur.

Zhang Zi'an didn't quite understand what was going on, but he knew what kind of cat he was selling in his store, so he replied: "It's a Siberian forest cat, which can be called 'Sisen' for short." ”

"You mean it comes from the icy Siberia, no wonder the hair is ......so long," she said suddenly.

Luo Qingyu picked up the camera and just wanted to take a picture, then put it down again, "Wait, Xisen? Isn't this a ragdoll? I don't read much, don't lie to me! I've seen a ragdoll cat!"

At first glance, the accent color Sissen does resemble a ragdoll, with the same blue eyes, similar coat color, and similar body size, standing next to five ragdoll kittens like siblings.

"Of course it's Sison, this kind of cat is not very common in China, but you don't confuse people with ragdolls. If you want to talk about history, Xisen is much older than the puppet, and the hair is longer and stiffer than the puppet, even if it can't be distinguished from the appearance, you can touch it. Zhang Zi'an corrected.

Xuan Ying grabbed a strand of its hair between her fingers, straightened it gently and slowly as if it were her own long hair, and exclaimed in a low voice, "It's so long!"

"It's still underage, and their fur will be longer when they are adults. Zhang Zi'an solemnly reminded: "One of the reasons why this kind of cat is bought less in China is that their hair is too long, and it will be very hot in summer, after all, their hometown is in Siberia, where water is dripping into ice, and the hair is too short to live." And most parts of China are not so cold in winter, but very hot in summer, so if you plan to keep this kind of cat, the indoor temperature in summer should not exceed 27 degrees, more than 27 degrees this cat may suffer from heat stroke coma, it is best to keep it below 20 degrees. ”

Luo Qingyu smacked his tongue and said: "What a delicate cat! Xuanying, you have to think about it carefully! In summer, the temperature should be kept below 20 degrees, so doesn't that mean that you have to turn on the air conditioner all day long? The summer in Binhai City is so hot and so long, and the electricity bill alone is not cheap......

"That's basically it. Zhang Zi'an admitted that he didn't hide the shortcomings of his pets, and by the way, he despised Luo Qingyu fiercely in his heart, and said that he didn't look at him holding a latest-type high-end SLR, but it was a reward for the photography contest, not he bought it himself, just by virtue of the sentence just now, the essence of this kid's dick silk was exposed......

"It doesn't matter. Xuan Ying shook her head.

Her father has left enough money, although he is not a tyrant, but it is enough to ensure a worry-free life, and she will also work after graduation, and it is not a problem to have a cat - the most important thing is that this is not an ordinary cat, but a cat that lives in a magical pet shop, a cat that is raised by the owner of the shop, who is a cat whisperer, she thinks that this cat will bring good luck to herself, and she hopes that this cat can be like in the movie, with her father's soul in her body.

She knew it was superstition, but what about superstition?

"Guest, have you decided to buy this cat?" Zhang Zi'an observed her demeanor and saw that she had already regarded this Xisen as her own.

"Well, I decided. She carefully picked it up. This Sisson was also meekly snuggled in her arms.

Luo Qingyu saw that Xuan Ying was about to leave, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, have you forgotten Xuanying? The cat in this shop can dance, but let me tell you, if you don't let him hand over the identity of the owner to you, you can't command this cat to dance!"

Speaking of which, there are a lot of reasons, he just wants to take a few photos of kittens dancing, and then post them on Weibo, maybe he can make an appointment with a few girls who love cats......

"No need. Xuan Ying said very freely, "I didn't buy this cat to make it dance, as long as it is healthy and safe by my side." Besides......" she smiled mysteriously at Zhang Zi'an, "If this cat gets lost, I hope it can be found here." ”

She suddenly remembered that in the movie "Nine Lives", Mr. Plush Pants had only two lives left when he appeared, which means that he had already helped seven people escape their doom before returning to the mysterious shopkeeper to wait for the next customer with a confused soul. So, this cat should be the same.

Zhang Zi'an was a little stunned by her laughter, so he had to pretend to be Zhizhu holding it to laugh.

Luo Qingyu was even more confused, he didn't know why the two of them were laughing, and even began to doubt his IQ......

"Ah, by the way, shouldn't there be a food bowl, a litter box and a cat bag?" Xuan Ying remembered the plot in the movie again and said happily.

"Oh, yes, I was about to ask you ......"

Usually Zhang Zi'an takes the initiative to ask customers this question, but when he encounters such a different customer today, his inherent rhythm is disrupted, and he is a little at a loss for a while. In order to hide his embarrassment, he walked quickly outside, pointed to the dazzling food bowls on the shelves and asked, "Which one do you want?"

There are all kinds of food bowls on the shelves, ceramic food bowls depicting cat and fish patterns, silver aluminum alloy food bowls, simple and durable plastic food bowls, transparent tempered glass food bowls, etc., which can meet customers of different levels and different needs. Fina uses an aluminum bowl because she likes shiny things.

"I love this. Luo Qingyu picked up a tempered glass food bowl and looked left and right for a suitable shooting angle.

Zhang Zi'an snatched it from him, "If you don't buy it, put it down." ”

Luo Qingyu: "...... How do you know I'm not buying?"

"Pay first. Zhang Zi'an stretched out his hand.

Luo Qingyu didn't have a cat, this tempered glass food bowl was so expensive, he didn't want to spend money in vain for no reason, so he asked Xuan Ying as if flattering: "This food bowl is good, very beautiful, why don't I give it to you?"

Xuan Ying ignored him, his eyes wandered on the shelf, and then he stood on tiptoe and took down a pink ceramic food bowl from the top of the shelf with one hand.

"I want this. She didn't hesitate to fall in love.

Zhang Zi'an has seen people who have difficulty choosing such as Deng Jie in the late stage, and he has also seen customers who don't choose at all, and just take the cheapest food bowl and leave, he doesn't know what criteria Xuan Ying used to choose, and he chose so quickly.

"By the way, cat bag! I want another cat bag, do you have a woven cat bag?" she asked again.

Zhang Zi'an thought for a moment and replied, "Uh...... Yes, wicker weaving, is it okay? But because it is handmade, the price is not cheap. ”

"It's okay, it's like that, the wicker weaving is airy, it's cooler, isn't it?" Xuan Ying squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Wait a minute, I'll get it. ”

Most people will not specifically ask to choose a wicker hand-woven cat bag, which is both heavy and expensive. Zhang Zi'an ran to the storage room upstairs, rummaged around, and really found a wicker cat bag that had been saved before and was not sold, and simply wiped it with a rag.

As he passed by the bedroom, he saw that Richard seemed to be hiding something in a panic, but he didn't have time to think about it at this time, and went downstairs with his cat bag.

"I've been waiting. Is this okay?" he showed her the cat bag back and forth.

"Yes, I like it. Xuan Ying opened the lid of the cat bag and put the Xisen kitten in her arms. It also seemed to like the cat bag, and immediately lay comfortably on the cushion inside.

She observed it through the wicker fence, and suddenly remembered a question, and asked eagerly: "I forgot to ask, is this cat male or female?"

"Male. Do guests want male or female?" Zhang Zi'an asked rhetorically.

Luo Qingyu pouted and said: "I want a mother, male cats are more wild, they like to toss around, they pee everywhere when they are in estrus, female cats are more docile and quieter, and they can give birth to kittens, how cute the kittens are, a litter of fluffy little hair...... If you can't keep that much, you can give me a few ......."

What he said was roughly right, and Zhang Zian did not refute it, waiting for Xuan Ying's decision.

Xuan Ying sighed, a little hesitant. She wants a male cat, just like the plush pants in the movie, but Luo Qingyu's words tickled her heart, if there is a litter of fluffy kittens around her, she must be so happy that she is dying......

"Has it been neutered?" she lowered her gaze to see where it was hidden, but unfortunately the fur was too long to see anything.

"No, I was too young to be neutered, which may affect my physical development. There are pros and cons to neutering and non-neutering, and the overall pros outweigh the disadvantages. If you want to sterilize it, you can wait until you are old enough to take it to the pet hospital. Zhang Zi'an took out one of the photocopies on the cash register for customers to pick up and handed it to her, "This is the relevant knowledge and instructions for sterilization." ”

"No, not yet, I'm thinking about neutering it. She waved her hand and refused, but did not answer, "Maybe when it grows up, find a wife for it and give birth to kittens, and then sterilize." ”

Zhang Zi'an was not reluctant, put the photocopy back in its place, and said: "What few people know is that Xisen's male cat is more special, very fatherly, as a spouse of the female cat gives birth to a kitten, the male cat will also help the female cat take care of the kitten, which is different from other cats." ”

"Huh, really?" asked Xuan Ying in surprise.

"Of course it's true. Sison's male cat can be said to be a model father among cats, and will not leave it alone after mating, as is the case with most other cat breeds. Zhang Zi'an affirmed, "In fact, this is the biggest feature that distinguishes Xisen cats from other cats." Probably because the weather in Siberia is so cold, it is difficult for newborn kittens to survive if they are raised by female cats alone. It's a pity that in the current trend of neutering, this shining point of the Xisen cat has been gradually buried......"

"Great...... It turns out that you are a model father......" Xuan Ying put her hand into the cat bag, caressed the back of its neck, and whispered thoughtfully, the words "model father" echoed repeatedly in her heart.

Although his father was always busy and left too suddenly, he really loved her and always wanted to be a model father who was competent.

"It must have been fate that brought me to this pet shop. She muttered.

Luo Qingyu was very wronged, "Exo_me? Obviously, I brought you here!"

The kitten was touched comfortably by her and barked softly, as if in response to her.

"By the way, it's my birthday. Xuan Ying said suddenly very abruptly.

Zhang Zi'an was stunned, but still subconsciously said: "Happy birthday." ”

"Thank you. Tears fell from her eyes.
