In the process of inquiring about information in order to become a qualified shovel officer last night, Hao Qi noticed that the growth history of any shovel officer is full of deep claw marks left by his master.

As a weapon to protect themselves, it is actually normal for cats to pop out their claws hidden in the meat pad and launch attacks when they feel threatened, but in most cases, as the closest people to cats, shovelers are often inadvertently injured by cats who play HIGH.

With this scene of blood and tears as a profound lesson, and the lessons accumulated by countless predecessors and martyrs with blood and scars, cutting the claws of his cat girlfriend has become Hao Qi's first priority after "shoveling for his girlfriend".

However, under the explanation of the kind-hearted shopkeeper, Hao Qi learned that it was not an easy task to cut the claws of a cat.

"Actually...... I still recommend that you bring the cat to me and let me help you, because cats are actually very grudgeful little creatures. ”

"Huh? Is it possible to cut a claw and hold a grudge? ”

"It depends on the cat's personality, the timing of the owner's choice when cutting its paws, and most importantly...... Will you accidentally hurt the cat? ”

Probably thinking that this explanation could not express her meaning more intuitively, so the shopkeeper's sister hugged her oversized Ragdoll cat to the counter, and then raised the cat's front paws to show Hao Qi.

"You see, the cat's claws are usually shrunk into the meat pad, which is to prevent the claws from rubbing against the hard ground to make a sound when hunting......"

"I see...... There is also this kind of operation. ”

Hao Qi listened carefully with a learning attitude, and while listening carefully, he also clearly saw the action of the girl gently pushing the tip of the cat's paw out of the meat pad.

"Because of this, when cutting the cat's paws, the first thing to do is to choose a time when the cat does not alike you to touch its paws."

"For example?"

"Hmm...... It's actually better when sleeping, but some cats will press their paws under them when they sleep, so cats are more vigilant, and they don't like people to touch their pads casually......"

“…… So what to do? ”

"Therefore, generally cutting the cat's paws is not a job that can be completed at one time, skilled cat owners will choose to use several times to complete this work, and each time the cat must be combed and fed to comfort the cat, otherwise, it is likely to be alienated because the cat is unhappy......"

While reminding Hao Qi seriously, the shopkeeper's sister picked up the well-behaved and docile cat in her arms a little, so that its paws could be seen more clearly by Hao Qi.

"You see, the cat's claws are very similar to human fingernails, and these pink parts near the roots, once accidentally cut, the cat will be injured and bleeding, and it is possible to get infected because of touching unclean things, and if the cat is injured, the next time the cat will be very disgusted with cutting the claws, and the relationship with the owner will become very poor......"

…… So after listening to the words of the shopkeeper's sister, Hao Qi's feeling was ...... No matter what you do, it seems that the relationship with the cat will deteriorate?

"That'...... How much does it cost to cut claws? ”

Originally, Hao Qi just asked casually, but unexpectedly, the expression of the shopkeeper's sister suddenly became nervous.

"Trust me! I really don't want to ask you to bring a cat to me because I want to pay a fee...... I just think that if the relationship with the cat really deteriorates because of the damage to the cat, then you and the cat will probably be sad......"

Speaking of this, probably worried that Hao Qi would not believe it, she added in a low voice.

"After all, you're a man...... If you don't believe me, I can help for free! ”

I'm really sorry that I'm a careless man with a cat!

Hao Qi, who was already thinking about whether to bring his girlfriend here, heard this sentence and made a decision simply.

"Forget it...... Give me nail clippers. ”

"Good...... Good. ”

Seeing that Hao Qi couldn't be convinced, the shopkeeper's sister could only find the nail clippers for the cat's paws from under the counter.

Speaking of nail scissors, it actually looks more like a small tailor's scissors, but the blade part of the tip is a strange semi-arc, and next, the shopkeeper's sister also demonstrated to Hao Qi how to use this nail clipper.

"Just gently push the cat's paws out like this, and then cut off the tip of the paw like this with nail clippers......"

"I see......"

It didn't seem to be a difficult operation, but after watching it again, Hao Qi, who knew it in his heart, paid the money and was about to leave, but the shopkeeper girl behind him stopped him softly.

"Also, generally speaking, you only need to cut the cat's front paws, because the cat's hind paws will be used to climb high and stabilize the body, if you accidentally lose your center of gravity and fall and get injured......"

"Ah, I see, thank you."

Humbly accepting the advice of the shopkeeper's sister, Hao Qi put his nail clippers in his pocket, smiled at the girl, and then pushed the door and left.

The reason why I finally chose nail clippers was, of course, not simply because of anger, but because of ...... You can't bring your girlfriend here every time to get your nails cut, right?

As a boyfriend, since he has decided to take good care of Xia Miaomiao, he has to learn this kind of thing to cut nails, no matter how difficult and troublesome it is.

Not to mention...... Hao Qi felt that it was right to say that ordinary cats would be angry with their owners because of such things as cutting their claws, but Xia Miaomiao was her girlfriend after all, so this was what he was least worried about.

Of course, Hao Qi can also see that this shopkeeper is the kind of person who really likes and treats pets well, and she chose to open this pet shop, probably because she wants to serve more people who like small animals, so that he can understand the name of "pet".

But then again, compared to "pampering", Hao Qi will never lose to her.

After all, my own cat has another identity as a "girlfriend", doesn't it?

So, full of love for his girlfriend and determination to take care of her, Hao Qi returned home with confidence.

"Looks like you're still sleeping?"

didn't see his girlfriend greet him at the door, and Hao Qi, who realized that she was probably still asleep now, lit up in his eyes, took off his shoes and tiptoed into the bedroom.

Sure enough, the cat girlfriend was sleeping on the bed, and Hao Qi was pleasantly surprised to see that her front paws were not pressed under her, but in a sleeping position lying on her side, naturally stretched to one side.

"Chance!"

Of course, Hao Qi couldn't miss this excellent opportunity, so he immediately took out nail clippers from his pocket and squatted at the head of the bed, carefully picked up one of his girlfriend's front paws, and carefully pinched the tip of one of the claws out of the meat pad according to the method he had learned before, and then brought the nail clippers close to the tip, starting the great cause of cutting his girlfriend's claws for the first time in his life.

"Click!"

The first claw was cut smoothly, which also made Hao Qi breathe a sigh of relief.

"It doesn't seem to be as difficult as the shopkeeper's sister said, haha......"

Before he could cut his second paw, he suddenly found that his cat girlfriend had opened her eyes without knowing when, and was staring at him with a bad face.

"Hao Qi, what are you doing?"

Seeing the rest of the claws that were originally shrunk in the meat pad pop out suddenly, Hao Qi's ears seemed to sound the sound of a big sword unsheathed.

"That...... Miao Miao, listen to my explanation...... Yes! ”

So, the confident Hao Qi used his bloody and painful experience to once again verify a truth-

Talking girlfriend, in a sense...... It's not much better than a cat that can't talk!
