Chapter 5: The Cat Called Orange Sauce
The sun just shone a little light, and Cheng Chuxia woke up slowly, probably because of the effect of the drug when she was on a drip yesterday, and the deep sleep made her rest well.
As soon as Cheng Chuxia came out of the room, he saw that his grandfather had just come back from the balcony, still holding a bowl of cat food in his hand, and he had not moved.
"Grandpa, does the ponzu sauce still refuse to eat?"
Orange Jam is a short-haired Persian cat with orange patterns, which was brought back by Cheng Chuxia's father when she was 17 years old when she was on a business trip.
"Alas, it's been a few days, and I don't know if I'm sick, I ate a little bit yesterday, and this morning I've been nesting in the lattice and refusing to come out, not eating, and refusing to drink water, some of them are sick, are you sick?"
"Probably, they've been nested in the lattice lately."
When she walked to the balcony, Cheng Chuxia saw the fluffy thing nested in the corner at a glance, she approached and rubbed the little head, it moved its ears, its eyes were a little dull, there was no energy, it was usually the most lively at this time, it could always jump on her body after she got up and be coquettish, but now it will only nest in the corner, occasionally making a few "woo" sounds, like a cry for help, and like an uncomfortable protest, which caused Cheng Chuxia to feel distressed.
"Hello, cats don't look like people, most of the discomfort is endured, it's not a matter of not eating or drinking all the time, it looks like you have to go to the hospital to take a look, I won't go for a walk in the afternoon, I'll take it with me."
"I'll go, I've been to the pet hospital when I took it for vaccination, and it's a weekend anyway. ”
When I first started raising orange sauce, Cheng Chuxia checked a lot of relevant knowledge, as well as some relevant bloggers shared experience, many cats will not be too noisy when they are unwell, and when they are found by careless owners, it is already very serious, grandpa is right, cats are not like people, most of the time they choose to endure, they can't speak, and they don't know how to express painful emotions.
The orange sauce was placed in the pet backpack, and because it was much older than before, it could now be seen through the round space mirror, with two round eyes open, looking at the time boundary outside. Along the way, many people were attracted to this cute little kitten and greeted him, but Orange Sauce was still listless and didn't want to pay attention to them. Cheng Chuxia could only patiently explain that it was sick and was about to go to the hospital.
There were still a few minutes away from the hospital, Cheng Chuxia felt that there seemed to be no movement in the backpack, and when he looked down, he found that the orange sauce was biting his hand, and the wound had already come out with a lot of blood. Cheng Chuxia's first reaction was that it should have been scared by the passer-by just now teasing the cat.
Hurriedly sat down on the bench on the side, wanting to take it out to check the injury, her hand just hugged it out, probably accidentally just hugged the wound, orange sauce screamed in pain "Meow-" jumped onto the road, unfortunately, just bumped into the person who came over.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
Cheng Chuxia apologized anxiously and worriedly, the other party wanted to pick up the orange sauce that almost fell to the ground, and Cheng Chuxia's heart was tight.
"Cheng Chuxia?"
"Han Rui, it's you."
Seeing that it was Han Ruicheng in early summer, he was inexplicably relieved.
"Is this your cat?"
"Uh-huh, I just found out that it had bitten itself, and it suddenly jumped up when I wanted to see the wound."
"A cat doesn't hurt itself for no reason, is it sick, has it been doing anything abnormal lately, is there anything else besides hurting itself?"
"I haven't eaten or drunk for two or three days, and recently I've always been hiding in a corner by myself and not wanting to come out, occasionally whining softly, and I want to take it to the doctor on the weekend, but I didn't expect to bite myself without paying attention to it just now."
"It may be a little depressing, but it's better to take it to the hospital quickly. Let's go, in front, let's go together. ”
"Uh-huh."
Cheng Chuxia was worried about the orange sauce and didn't dare to delay it for too long.
In the hospital, the doctor examined the orange sauce, combined with some of the conditions that Cheng Chuxia said, and judged that it was mild depression.
"This symptom is called seasonal affective disorder. It's a seasonal blues. The lack of sunlight affects the secretion of some hormones, which, combined with the lack of company from the owner, can lead to fatigue, anxiety and sadness in the cat. In fact, it is not a big problem, the owner should pay more attention to spend time with the cat, take it out more often, or find some playmates for it. ”
Since the third year of high school, the time to accompany Orange-chan has become very small, and sometimes Orange-chan can't see her for several days, "Doctor, can depression be cured?" ”
"Yes, the symptoms of this kitten are not too serious, just pay more attention to it every day, be careful not to let it be frightened, let the nurse take the wound on its hand to the next consultation room to bandage it."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
The orange sauce was taken away by the nurse, and Han Rui and Cheng Chuxia stayed outside the door to wait.
"I didn't expect you to have research on pets as well."
"I used to raise a Labrador, kept it for more than four years, and then died."
To put it mildly, it seems that the hidden sadness cannot be heard. It can be seen that when Orange Sauce was injured, his eyes were anxious, probably because Orange Sauce reminded him of the dog that had accompanied him.
"Good thing you have a cat."
"Why?"
"Cats have nine lives."
After saying that, Han Rui laughed to himself, as if he was deliberately bringing the sad atmosphere just now, Cheng Chuxia didn't know how to follow him stupidly, and laughed.
"Last time, I always thanked him ......"
"I know, yesterday he called to ask about my situation, and he couldn't bear my soft grinding and hard bubbles and confessed himself, it was the math teacher who reported my recent state to him, and he called my mother again to find out, the homework is none of your business, it was me who was careless."
In fact, Lao Xie said this that day: "...... Don't mess with Han Rui's hat, he was still thinking of a way to carry it for you in the office that day......"
"That's good, thank you for that note, if you need it, mine can also borrow you."
"Okay!"
"Click-" The door opened, and the orange sauce was carried out by the nurse, who was originally drooping his head and had some energy again at the moment he saw Cheng Chuxia. After holding the orange sauce from the nurse's arms, Cheng Chuxia said thank you to the nurse.
"I'm sorry, I've neglected you all this time, isn't it painful."
Han Rui looked at Cheng Chuxia who was so cautious and a little incredible, and Cheng Chuxia, who was usually very arrogant and dismissive of everything, also had such a warm side. Cheng Chuxia put the orange sauce in the backpack, and Han Rui just helped her open the bag.
"Alright, we're home, Orange Sauce!"
?!?
"What did you just say it was called?"
"Oh yes, I haven't introduced you yet, it's called orange sauce."
A familiar name flashed through Han Rui's mind: Cat Orange Sauce?! It's her!
On the way back, Cheng Chuxia kept talking to the orange sauce,
"What do you want to eat tonight? Don't you like pudding the most? ”
"Orange sauce, let's go pick a toy, okay?"
……
Han Rui, who was walking behind, quietly opened his mobile phone and logged in to the game, game friends:

The smile gradually became clear on his face, the weather was so nice today, the sun was warm, the breeze was gentle, and the dandelions along the road were drunk in the wind......
