Chapter Twenty-Eight: Your "Li Yuanba" is pregnant
Seeing that Zheng Si got along "very well" with those kittens inside, the "prince" who had been staying on the cat climbing frame couldn't sit still, and after two temptations, he jumped inside.
It's just that the five kittens are still the same as before after discovering the "prince", arching their backs and blowing up their fur to make a warning sound, the only difference is that now because of Zheng Si's presence, the five kittens seem to be more confident, and they are all next to Zheng Si, making it inconvenient for Zheng Si to lift his feet.
The "prince" took two steps to that side, and the kitten's back arched harder, and the warnings sounded one after another, and at the same time, Zheng Si was pressed tighter.
Zheng Si is very annoyed now, why are these five big kittens at his feet so close? I feel uncomfortable, but I am afraid that the cats will be kicked, pressed or bumped into by a large range of movements, so I am impatient and a little stiff at the same time. And Zheng Si's depressed mood peaked when the "prince" approached.
Zheng sighed and pulled his ears, and looked at the approaching American shorthair cat with oppressive eyes: You don't want to roll Lao Tzu to kill you!
Xiao Guo, who was staying outside the plastic board, saw this situation, and also called his cat in a low voice, seeing that his cat had no chance to shoot this advertisement, and those kittens did not give face at all.
Under pressure from many parties, the "prince" slowly retreated, and then jumped out of the circle and went to Xiao Guo for comfort.
Seeing that the "enemy" had gone, the kittens' alarm was lifted, and they continued to play around Zheng Si, Zheng Si walked and they also followed him, Zheng Si stopped and they all rubbed up, rolling next to Zheng Si or playing with Zheng Si's paw tail or something.
Compared with the happy mood of the kittens, Zheng Si has always put on a stinky face, and there are not many expressions of cats, but anyone who sees Zheng Si now will come to the conclusion that "this cat is in a bad mood now".
Zheng Si looked down helplessly at the kitten cub who was rolling on his back beside his paws. The soles of the kitten's feet are very tender, reflecting a soft luster under the light, and they are not at all as rough as the soles of the big cats. And Zheng Si runs and climbs trees every day, grinding the soles of his feet more than other cats.
Zheng Si watched as he waved his little feet in the air, raised one of his front paws, and compared it with the little pink palm in the air.
Tsk, it's so small, it's not as good as the meat ball in the center of my palm. It's really soft, though.
Click, click!
The sound of the camera taking pictures sounded and the flash flashed.
Zheng Si looked sideways, Xiao Guo was holding the camera and taking pictures excitedly, like a monkey constantly changing positions and angles, because there are many obstructions and obstacles here, so Xiao Guo's posture is very strange when taking pictures, just like those obscene uncles when they photograph the scenery under the girl's skirt.
"Store manager, that's it, right?" Employees are eager to give it a try. The matter of shooting the cat food advertisement for kittens should be this black cat, except for it, several cats in the store are far behind.
"That's it! Ready guys, it's time to get started! Xiao Guo's eyes were full of excitement, "Our advertisement can definitely pull a big order!" ”
The advertisement designed by Xiao Guo is very simple, and the general plot is as follows: a litter of abandoned kittens is found by a big cat, and then the big cat gives them cat food. And there are two kinds of cat food to be taken in here, one is kitten milk cake, and the other is canned kitten, all of which are produced and sold by Xiao Guo, and they have been inspected by a special quality inspection department, which is guaranteed in terms of quality, which is also one of the reasons why Jiao's father agreed to Zheng Si to take over the work.
Xiao Guo's previous worry was that he was afraid that the big cat would not get along well with the kitten, but now when he was shooting the advertisement, he found out that it was too sticky and not good, and several kittens refused to stay in the prop nest obediently, even if they stayed inside, as long as they saw Zheng Si appear, they would run over there.
The good thing is that this situation is easier than not getting along well, and the kittens do show affection for the two cat foods, which makes Xiao Guo more confident in his own products.
It took four hours to finish filming, and the rest is the post-production work, Zheng Sian can't care about the rest of the things, he wants to leave quickly, and he doesn't want to stay here as a dad anymore.
It's a pity that what makes Zheng Si depressed is that the sky is overcast, and it starts to rain, obviously the weather forecast says that there is no rain!
Xiao Guo called Jiao's father and said that he would send the cat back when the rain stopped, the rain should not last too long, no matter what, the cat would definitely be sent back before dark.
Therefore, Zheng sighed and continued to stay in this studio. The good thing is that the five kittens are probably tired from filming commercials, and they sleep together after eating cat food, and there is a thermogenic pad under the kitten's litter. Recently, the temperature has been a little low, and the big cats are not there, so the kittens are prone to catching colds.
Originally, Xiao Guo planned to let Zheng Si go over to sleep with the kittens, which was more trouble-free and reassuring, and the effect of the thermogenesis pad was definitely not as good as that of a real cat.
Zheng Si closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, not hearing Xiao Guo's words. Whoever loves to go will go, anyway, Lao Tzu will not go!
During the break, everyone who didn't have lunch ordered takeout. Knowing that Zheng Si didn't eat cat food, Xiao Guo prepared chicken rice for Zheng Si.
While everyone was eating, the door to the studio was slammed open.
"Guo Xiaoming! Help me! ”
It was a woman who came in, she should still be very young, she was a little embarrassed with her umbrella and her hair scattered, Zheng Si couldn't see her appearance clearly, mainly because of the cover of her hair and the influence of the black-framed glasses.
The person who came in was carrying a pet bag, and he didn't let the bag rain even if he got wet.
Xiao Guo, who was eating a boxed lunch, almost choked when he saw someone coming, "I said Yanzi, my name is Guo Mingyi, not Guo Xiaoming, how many times have I said it and I can't change it...... What's wrong with you? ”
"Help, my family's Li Yuanba is sick!" The people who came in put down their umbrellas at random and ran over in a hurry.
Hearing the young woman say the name "Li Yuanba", Zheng Si squirted out all the chicken nuggets in her mouth.
How majestic and domineering this must look to be to be called such a name!
So Zheng Si chewed the chicken rice in his mouth and looked over to see what kind of dignity was inside the pet bag.
"What's wrong with your 'Li Yuanba'? I remember you said that your one is very strong. After Xiao Guo took two mouthfuls of food, he walked to a place on the edge of the room, where there was an open space and a table, so it was inconvenient to save it here, after all, everyone is eating here now, and it is not good to treat the cat.
"If you're sick, you'll have to send it to my brother, and I'll sell some pet supplies." Xiao Guo said as he unzipped the pet bag.
"Isn't this an old classmate, I'm more at ease by going through the back door." Swallow explained, with concern on her face.
With Xiao Guo's action of opening the pet bag, Zheng Si finally saw the true face of "Li Yuanba".
it! This coat color like a fire scene is really special, and it feels domineering!
The cat's coat is predominantly black, with some yellow and some white fur mixed with it.
From the cat's point of view, Zheng Si felt that this cat had a strong aura, not a simple character, and it was estimated that the fight was also fierce.
This is also the first time Xiao Guo has really seen "Li Yuanba", and he has only seen photos on the Internet before. After Yanzi and Xiao Guo got in touch, the two chatted on the Internet, Yanzi was very happy when he knew that Xiao Guo had opened a pet center, and showed Xiao Guo a photo of his "Li Yuanba" on the Internet, but the two didn't talk too much, Yanzi came to the store to buy vaccines and canned cats, and the cat was brought for the first time.
"You cat...... I felt fierce. Xiao Guo said. He didn't touch it with his hands, but after seeing too much, he could see the emotions that the cat wanted to express at this moment from the cat's eyes. Xiao Guo felt that it was better not to touch the cat first, otherwise there would be a few more blood marks or tooth marks on his hands in the next moment.
The cat lay there calmly, except for a slight change in his eyes when Xiao Guo approached, there was not much abnormality.
Xiao Guo only took a cursory look at the cat and asked, "How do you determine that it is sick?" ”
"It often lies in one place to sleep now, doesn't move much, it used to go out to play, and when it's at home, it doesn't react to teasing it, although it didn't play much before, but there is always some reaction, and now it's basically ignoring those toys, it's been going on for a while, it's indifferent to a lot of things, and it's always staying there. My neighbor said it was probably sick...... Guo Xiaoming, is it very sick? Swallow said worriedly.
Xiao Guo thought about it and asked again: "Has there been a change in the amount of food?" ”
"Yes, I ate a lot."
Xiao Guo nodded, and then said, "It's nothing, don't worry, your 'Li Yuanba' is just pregnant." ”
Zheng sighed: Why does the phrase "......" sound so terrifying?
And after hearing this, Yanzi reacted even more strongly, looking like he saw the divine beast: "Impossible, how can my 'Li Yuanba' get pregnant!" It's a male cat! ”
Xiao Guo glanced at her and pointed to the cat lying on his side in the pet bag, "You don't need to look at anything else, as long as you see this coat color, you will know that tortoiseshell cats are basically female cats." The reason for this coat color is due to the random inactivation of the X chromosome.
If the X chromosome containing the linkage recessive gene is inactivated, it will appear black, and if the X chromosome containing the dominant gene is inactivated, it will appear yellow, and the X chromosome inactivation in different parts of the cat's fur is random, so the color of the cat's hair will be similar to this mottled, that is, the tortoiseshell color of yellow and black. ”
After listening to Xiao Guo's explanation, Yanzi was entangled for a moment, "I studied computers, not chromosomes." ”
Yanzi and Xiao Guo are high school classmates, and their majors in college are not the same.
"Didn't anyone around you tell you you had a female cat?" Xiao Guo didn't understand very much, the place where Yanzi lived was also a relatively old residential area, and the neighbors should be very familiar with each other, and there should be communication between them. If one person can't recognize it, can't anyone else recognize it?
"I ...... I don't go out much, and our neighbors say it's a male cat, so I named it 'Li Yuanba'. "Swallow is a little embarrassed.
Yanzi's real name is Li Yan, a very common name, and she is not good at dressing up, and her presence among her classmates is very low since she was a child. The cat was actually a stray cat, which was later adopted by Swallow and brought home.
"Your neighbors? The kid who likes to wear shiny leather shoes? Xiao Guo asked.
"Yes, that's him!" Swallow nodded.
Xiao Guo sighed, "That guy also brought his cat over last week to give the cat a click little JJ, his family is a female cat, click a hairy little JJ!" The kid probably thinks cats are as easy to distinguish between male and female as dogs. ”
Knowing that his cat was pregnant, Yanzi asked a lot of things to pay attention to, and Xiao Guo also answered them one by one.
"During pregnancy, female cats should avoid drugs and chemicals, especially steroids and gray fulfillin for mold treatment, and pay special attention to the quantity, quality and variety of food fed......
Yanzi took a recording device and recorded all of Xiao Guo's words.
"Okay, let's talk about these first, when the time comes, you will also check the information yourself, if you don't understand, you can ask me, online message or mailbox, I guess I've been a little busy recently, and I'll take time to look at messages and emails after I'm busy."
"Well, thank you! Hey, those are kittens? The swallow's gaze swept to the hairy ball in the corner over there.
"Well, a six-week-old kitten, who just filmed a commercial, is now tired and sleeping."
"Advertising? Ads for kittens? Can I take a look? ”
Xiao Guo thought about it, didn't refuse, and showed Yanzi some of the unprocessed clips he had taken.
"It's so cute," Yanzi exclaimed, then pointed to Zheng Si, who was squatting on the tallest cat climbing frame to rest after eating, and asked Xiao Guo, "Is it the black cat's cub?" ”
"No, the mother of these kittens is a short-haired domestic cat, and the father is a Siberian forest cat, this can be determined, just look at the fur of these kittens." Xiao Guo explained.
"Then why does it get along so well with kittens?"
"I guess it's a strong affinity for kittens." Xiao Guo doesn't know about this problem either.
"Then this black cat is really special. Hey, Guo Xiaoming, when my kitten is born, I will also bring it over to take a few pictures, and I may have to borrow this black cat at that time. ”
Xiao Guo didn't say anything, but looked in the direction of Zheng Si.
Zheng sighed: "......" paralysis! Don't take kittens!
