Chapter Ninety-Nine: I'll Call You Nana from Now on
After leaving the Pepsi Center, Ji Liang hung his backpack in his right hand, couldn't help but yawn, and walked in the direction of the apartment.
The apartment is not far from the arena, less than ten minutes away. He had just gone through a hard battle, and now he was full of exhaustion and missed the big bed in the apartment very much.
Meow~Meow~
Suddenly, Chi Liang's ears moved, and he faintly heard the meow of a cat, but its voice was very small, and it seemed to be very immature.
Chi Liang's footsteps slowed down, and he looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw a half-open cardboard box on the side of the road not far ahead.
"Stray cats?"
After pausing in place, a thought emerged in Chi Liang's heart.
Meow~Meow~
At this time, the cat's meow sounded again, and this time Ji Liang heard it more clearly.
"It's supposed to be a kitten!"
Chi Liang had a judgment in his heart, hesitated slightly, and slowly walked towards the cardboard box.
Looking at the scene in the cardboard box, Chi Liang was slightly stunned, he didn't guess wrong, it was indeed a kitten inside.
Unexpectedly, it was a very cute kitten, and it seemed that there were no defects, and it was not known why its owner abandoned it.
It is a snow-white cat, with shiny pure white fur, slightly folded ears, and a small elf-like face, a pair of dark blue eyes that are large and round, and the petite size of the young beast takes this image to the extreme.
In addition to this kitten, there was also a card pinned to the cardboard box, and Chi Liang picked it up and looked at it and found that it was written by the cat's original owner.
Here are a few neat lines in English describing the reasons for abandoning the kitten. Judging from the description of the other party, he didn't hate the cat, but his wife, who had just married, hated the cat, and he had no friends to accept it, so he had to abandon it, hoping that someone would take it in.
"Yes, it's cute, but the problem is that I'm busy, I'm almost a trapeze, where is there time to take care of it!"
Chi Liang shook his head, to be honest, he doesn't hate cats and dogs, on the contrary, he likes them very much. But as he said, he doesn't have much time to spare, and if he goes to an away game, it can be as short as two or three days, or as long as a week before he comes back.
Meow~
Just as Chi Liang was about to put the card back, the cat raised its head, opened its big and round dark blue eyes, and barked softly at Chi Liang, and then leaned over with its little head, wanting to lick Chi Liang's fingers.
Moe, very cute!
This cat has a strong charm, its movements, demeanor and voice are all cute, at least Chi Liang did not shrink his hand, let the cat lick his fingers.
"Let's just find a companion, if you don't have time, maybe you can ask the landlord!"
For this cute and cute cat, Chi Liang also liked it from the bottom of his heart, and finally gave up his previous idea, touched the cat's little head, picked up the cardboard box, and strode in the direction of the apartment.
"In other words, this is a Scottish Fold cat, but fortunately it's not the kind of cat that is particularly clingy, otherwise it would be annoying!"
Looking at the graphic introduction on the computer, Chi Liang looked at the cat in the carton again, and finally got confirmation.
The Scottish Fold is a cat breed with a genetic mutation in its ears, named after where it was found and its physical characteristics.
Folded ears cats have a fold in the cartilage that causes the ears to bend forward and point in front of the head. Because of this, this cat is born with an orthopedic disease and often uses a sitting and standing position to relieve the pain.
However, newborn ears are not folded, and their ears do not begin to fold when they are about three to four weeks old.
The folded ear cat that Chi Liang picked up, its ears were slightly folded, and its age was probably in this range.
Folded ears cats are naturally gentle, approachable, and willing to be in the company of people, they like to be involved in whatever you do, but usually just quietly, but do not make a sound to disturb you.
However, although the athletic talent of the folded ear cat is average, it does not mean that it does not like to play, but prefers to have the company of its owner.
After determining the type of cat, Chi Liang began to have an in-depth understanding of its habits, and since he had decided to raise it, he naturally needed to know more about it.
"It's so late, I can't buy cat food, but it seems to be hungry!"
After the initial understanding, Chi Liang was a little troubled, except for breakfast, his lunch and dinner were solved in the stadium or hotel, which also led to not much food in the apartment, most of which were eggs and vegetables, as well as some milk.
After carefully checking the information, Chi Liang found that the folded ear cat could drink milk, so he poured the warm milk into the bowl and put it in front of the folded ear cat.
The folded ear cat glanced at Chi Liang, then stood up, stretched out his little head, stretched out his pink tongue, and began to lick the milk.
Chi Liang couldn't help but stretch out his right hand, touching its little head, while thinking about it and saying, "I'll call you Nana in the future!"
He double-checked, it was a female cat, and he didn't want to waste brain cells, so he casually took the name Nana.
After filling his stomach, Ji Liang carried Nana to the bathroom and prepared to bathe it.
Meowo>_ When she turned on the shower, Nana instantly exploded and began to struggle violently, as if she was very afraid of the water. "Oops, forgot that most cats don't like bathing!" Feeling Nana's struggle, Chi Liang had to close the shower valve again and start thinking about countermeasures. Cats don't like bathing, in addition to being afraid of water, it may also be that bathing makes them uncomfortable, which is why cats refuse to bathe. However, Nana is only a kitten, and she has not yet reached the point of abhorring bathing, and most importantly, she is still a kitten, and her struggle is very limited. If he forced Nana to take a bath, Ji Liang could easily do it, but instead of doing so, he touched Nana's head and began to ease its emotions. As if infected by her master's movements, Nana's mood quickly stabilized, and her originally trembling body began to stop shaking. At this time, Chi Liang asked Nana to stand in the basin and gently turned on the shower, at this time, Nana once again showed signs of fried hair, but it was far less intense than before. After testing the water temperature, Chi Liang gently moved the shower, and the warm water began to soak its hair. Nana was a little resistant at first, but under Chi Liang's care, she gradually gave up struggling, her body was still trembling, but her eyes were fixed on Chi Liang, like a child who wanted to show herself to be brave in front of her parents. The rest of the process is simple, and everything goes smoothly. Although her body trembled, Nana never moved again.
