Chapter 2 The Cat That Was Released
That day, Qiuqiu was not really forgotten, when the owner came home at night, found the dying Qiuqiu on the balcony, very distressed and blamed himself for not paying enough attention to it, fed it some food, prepared a nest for it alone in his bedroom, and brought some kitten cat food the next day to soak it in warm water for it to drink, Qiuqiu was able to survive.
But since that day, Qiuqiu's mentality has changed, and its psychology is no longer just a piece of sunshine, full of hope, kindness, tolerance and expectation for everything. It felt the coldness and determination of reality, in its psychology, there was already a dark and dull shadow on the back of the sun, it did not dare to try to get close to its cat mother and sister, but it hoped to be accepted again, hesitated for a few days, when it could sway and walk on its own, it came to the room of the former cat mother, and by this time the sisters had just been weaned and switched to kitten cat food. Qiuqiu rubbed towards the mother cat as affectionately as before, and before she could get closer, the mother cat slapped it over with one paw, and it continued to lean over without discouragement, and when it didn't react, the mother cat took its neck and pulled it out of the balcony.
This time Qiuqiu didn't feel so deeply, and it felt a little lost, but when it saw the sisters who followed the probe at the door, it felt like it was waving its little tail in its heart for no reason. A few little furball-like sisters came over happily, this one touched its head, the other bit its buttocks, and the young lady stretched out her front paws to pat its swinging tail, so Qiuqiu shook its tail more happily.
In the following days, Qiuqiu did not follow the cat mother, but it often played with its sisters, although the sisters' teeth grew earlier than it, the body grew stronger than it, and it would run and jump, most of the time Qiuqiu was bullied by the sisters, but the small baby teeth that had just grown out were not lethal, and the bite was itchy, Qiuqiu was not afraid, being bullied also meant being concerned, and it was trying to brush its own sense of existence.
Qiuqiu has both a big heart and a little cautious, it was abandoned twice by the cat mother, and there is a little grudge in his heart, which is unwilling to return to the cat mother. Everything can be done again, but it can not be three. And the owner saved it, became its food and clothing, every morning and evening waiting for the owner to feed the cat food in its small bowl, slowly it became particularly dependent on the owner, heard the door to run to the door to pick it up, when the owner sat in front of the computer, it sat at the owner's feet to rest.
Recently, it found that after the owner came home, he was always busy on the computer very late, and often quietly watched a few cats, gently stroked and picked them up to tease them, and brought back some snacks that made the cat mother and sisters flock to the fight, and the owner's eyes were full of a kind of guilt, distress and reluctance that made it unbearable to look at directly. Qiuqiu was scared and always felt that something bad was going to happen. The master has never been sorry for them, and there is no need to have such a guilty look and guilt-like behavior, could it be that he will do something to make him feel guilty in the future? Qiuqiu is a sensitive child, maybe it wasn't born sensitive, but after giving it unreservedly, it was abandoned and made it fragile and sensitive.
That weekend, something unacceptable happened, and the owner brought back four friends, and it was the first time that Qiuqiu had seen so many humans at once, all so tall, with loud and changeable voices, and different clothes. Qiuqiu saw the owner several times after seeing the owner's clothes, and realized that what they were wearing was not a strange leather, but clothes that could be changed. As soon as the four guests entered the house, they were immediately led by the owner into the room of the cat nest, and saw several kittens of different shapes each found a place where they thought others could not find it, and the body of Qiuqiu was the smallest, it was hidden under the bottom plate of a cabinet, and only dragged a tail straight outside. Only the cat mother tiger baby was particularly calm, she paced the cat steps, gracefully walked to the master's side, glanced at the owner, and then unhurriedly climbed a chair and lay on it, half-squinting, half-asleep.
Of the owner's four friends, three are women and one is a man. They effortlessly found the cat's hiding place, began to point, happy discussion, some reached out to pet them, and two young girls held mobile phones "click" and "click" to take pictures of the eldest sister and the younger sister, and tried to pick them up for a group photo. Qiuqiu was also pulled by the man's tail and slipped out, and the blood rushed to his head at once, Qiuqiu felt dizzy and uncomfortable, it turned its head and struggled, waving its claws to scratch the man's hands and face, but nothing could be scratched. The sisters are not weak, they usually haven't seen strangers, and they are very wary of these outsiders, and the contact of these people, the sisters are using both teeth and claws, trying to leave a mark on these guests that make them afraid of retreating, and it is a pity that the little kitten that is only one month old does not hurt when biting, and scratches people to leave only a white small mark at most. Only the young lady was more powerful, and scratched a line on the hand of the melon-faced girl with thin eyebrows and small eyes, and slowly poured out small beads of blood.
The four kittens were tossing and turning, and it didn't seem to affect the mother cat at all, and it seemed to be so familiar with such a scene, even the three sisters asked for help from it and their master, and it didn't seem to hear it. Qiuqiu is completely incomprehensible, I used to think that the cat mother disliked it because it was not manly enough, but the cat mother is still loving, it loves her three sisters, but now in this situation, it seems that all children can give up.
It wasn't until much later that Qiuqiu understood that it wasn't that the cat mother didn't love them, and sometimes it didn't have a choice, helpless, it wasn't the first time it gave birth to a baby, in fact, it had to give birth to several litters every year, this time it had given birth to a baby for the third time, the first two babies were sent away, and after living for so long, it had understood that some things were not against protest to change the outcome. The personal experience of this incident later made Qiuqiu understand a lot, and it also made it understand that what to do in the future must be considered for others, rather than uncontrollably bringing harm to others. In the world of cats, when the female cat is in heat, she will find a few male cats to mate at random until the end of estrus, and the same is true for male cats, and male cats will not care about female cats giving birth, female cats are pregnant, and they have to bring their own children when they give birth.
In the end, the four friends of the master took away the three sisters each, and the girl with thin eyebrows, small eyes and paws took away the charcoal head; Another thin and tall girl had a pair of reverse phoenix eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she took Bingbing away; The only man took Xiaohu away, he had a pair of triangular eyes, but he did have a round nose and round lips and a fat body, which made his triangular eyes no longer so eye-catching, but looked smiling and happy. Qiuqiu was not picked off, either because it was skinny and unenergetic, or because its fur was too unbright and dull. The other girl was willing not to pick it and did not take it with her.
In this way, it stayed with the mother cat, and the joy of staying behind overwhelmed the sadness of parting. It was this burst of joy that was too short-lived, looking at the much quieter room, and the helpless figure of the mother cat, Qiuqiu fell silent, and it began to miss its sisters intensely, and the insecurity that had gradually been put down became extremely clear again, and it began to worry about its own tomorrow, or the further future. At this moment, it suddenly wanted to comfort the mother cat, and it gently called its mother "meow, meow" to remind the mother cat that she still existed, but the mother cat's body remained motionless, quietly looking out the window. Qiuqiu feels more lonely, even if he stays, in fact, the mother cat doesn't care about herself at all, it is better not to stay, so that it thinks that the mother cat will care about it even a little bit behind her back.
At this time, the owner sent his friend back, and he walked in, came to the mother cat, gently stroked its back, whispered something, and comforted it. After a long time, he came to Qiuqiu's side again, and his eyes as he looked at Qiuqiu were both loving and pitying, but also a little disgusted and uncertain. Qiuqiu's heart contracted slightly, and it seemed that staying behind did not make it feel steady, but a lot of uncertainty, and the changes that would come at any time made it more humble. It meows softly, rolls on the ground, and bares its belly in anticipation of its owner's touch. It has been relying on others wholeheartedly, unable to survive independently, first relying on the cat mother, and now the owner, if this time the owner also abandons it, it really doesn't know what to do, that is, as a cat, its feelings can not go through too much pay and then be abandoned, it itself does not believe that it can cheer up again. The owner's hand did not fall on its belly, he tentatively made contact, then lifted it away from its body again, lit a cigarette, and slowly walked out of the room.
The sensitive ball became panicked, the animal's intuition allowed it to predict the owner's decision, it stayed awake all night, screaming mournfully, and did not eat, and the mother cat was also silent, did not sleep all night and did not eat. Until the afternoon of the next day, the two cats did not eat, Qiuqiu hung his head gloomily, and the mother cat looked out of the window blankly, and it remained motionless for the whole day and night, like a sad cat statue, and the air was particularly dull.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the ball was stuffed into a cloth bag by its owner and pushed out of the door. Qiuqiu called out to her mother in panic, poked her claws out of the mouth of the cloth bag, tried to hook her master's clothes, and screamed loudly all the way. The owner tried to pull its claws away, but the claws were already hooked into the shirt, and the ball would not let go, and if it tried to pull its claws, it would tear the shirt apart. The owner had to maintain a stiff hand half-holding and half-carrying the bag, and then got into a taxi, dozens of minutes later, they came to a crowded park gate, the crowd of people shuttling past the owner made Qiuqiu seem more uneasy and panicked, its voice changed from a long mournful cry to a low and short whimper.
The master climbed up the mountain with Qiuqiu, and on the edge of the dense jungle halfway up the mountain, he opened the cloth bag and released Qiuqiu. He gently stroked the ball, trying to soothe its emotions, but could not do anything. The cat is a very timid animal, and the ball has come to an unfamiliar environment, and the only familiar thing in front of him is the owner, and he tries to get back into the bag and hide. The owner rudely drove the cat away, picked up the bag, and took out the open kitten cat food from which he had eaten half a bag and put it behind a bush, fleeing the scene in both sadness and embarrassment. Qiuqiu followed closely behind to catch up with his master, and at the age of a month, he couldn't run, and after walking for a while, he was half dead of exhaustion, and instead of catching up with his master, he pulled away. At this time, it had reached the foot of the mountain, and the flow of people increased, so frightened that Qiuqiu hid in the bushes next to it, and when others walked over, it turned out again, only to find that the owner had long since disappeared.
It stood quietly in the sunset, hiding under the bushes, as the sun went down and it was getting dark.
