Chapter 5: Poor Folded Ears Cat

Zhou Yi had never had a cat before, so he didn't feel surprised to see the two little leopard cats obediently jumping back on the table to eat. But in the eyes of the clerk, this was a bit unusual.

Generally speaking, dogs can be trained to be obedient, while cats are more autonomous, and cats will be clingy but will not obey the orders of their owners.

When Zhou Yi was almost finished drinking a cup of coffee, Su Feirong pushed the door and walked in.

It seems that there is a date, today's Sophie Rong is dressed beautifully, her makeup is a little thicker than yesterday, and with her beautiful face and beautiful figure, she can be called an urban beauty.

"I didn't expect you to come to our store for the second time so soon, and I heard from the clerk that you brought two Bengal leopard cats, which makes me have to suspect that you are a cat dealer." Sophie Rong said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"It's because I need money urgently, and when I raise enough money, I don't think I will come again." Zhou Yi smiled heartily.

"Okay, let me see the kitten first......" Su Feirong couldn't help but sigh in her heart after seeing the two Bengal leopard cats on the table.

It's not that Sophie Rong has never seen Bengal leopard cats, and she has seen a lot of purebreds, but it's rare to see these two so beautiful. If these two are really purebreds, if they work well, they may be able to refresh the highest transaction price of Bengal leopard cats. Because, in addition to the cute heads, the patterns on the bodies of these two Bengal leopard cats are too similar to the leopards.

At this time, the appraiser named Uncle Qian yesterday also came over, and after saying hello to Su Feirong, he went to check on the two Bengal leopard cats.

About ten minutes later, Uncle Qian said that he had seen the identification: "Judging from the ears, eyes, nose, and patterns on the body, they are all purebred Bengal leopard cats, and their appearance is almost perfect, I really can't find any shortcomings." ”

"Well, good. This weekend, I have to trouble you to come over, it's hard work, go home and rest. Sophie Rong nodded.

After Uncle Qian left, Su Feirong looked at Zhou Yi and looked at it for a while before saying, "I didn't expect you to take out all the high-quality products, I'm really curious where you got it." ”

"I raised it myself, and I was in a hurry to use the money to sell it." Zhou Yi could only prevaricate.

As soon as I heard this, I knew that it was perfunctory, but Su Feirong didn't get to the bottom of it, but got to the point: "Say, what price do you want?" ”

"It's better for you to open it, I don't understand the market." Zhou Yi said.

"Okay, one is 30,000, and two are 60,000, do you think it's okay?" Sophie Rong said.

Zhou Yi calculated in his heart, yesterday's two Scottish white folded ears were sold for 20,000, plus today's 60,000, it is just enough for 80,000, and there is still 20,000 yuan left to pay back the money owed.

Zhou Yi decided to raise the price again, so he said: "That's the case, I need to raise 100,000 yuan, I had 20,000 yuan yesterday, and there is still a difference of 80,000, so I hope these two Bengal leopard cats can be sold for 80,000." ”

Su Feirong lowered her head and thought about it, in fact, she didn't think that Zhou Yi's price of 80,000 yuan was too high, after all, as long as these two Bengal leopard cats were sold, they would make at least twice as much, so they would not suffer a loss if they received 80,000 yuan.

She was thinking about whether Zhou Yi was lying when he said that he urgently needed money, she thought yesterday that Zhou Yi was really raising money to sell those two white folded ears, but the next day she sent two more valuable ones, no matter how you look at it, they are pet dealers with a supply.

Although making up lies will not affect the transaction, it will affect the mood, but Su Feirong doesn't know why, she has a good impression of the guy in front of her who is suspected of being a cat dealer.

"Okay, 80,000 is 80,000, there is not so much cash in the store, can I write you a check?" Su Feirong finally agreed to Zhou Yi's asking price.

"Okay, thank you."

After Zhou Yi got the check, a big stone in his heart finally landed, and he finally scraped together enough 100,000 yuan.

Zhou Yi went to the bank, took out all the money, and then took it home and handed it over to his mother, if that group of people came to ask for debts again, he would pay them back directly, and he would never provoke these social residues in the future.

……

In the pet café, after Zhou Yi left, the clerk handed a document bag to Su Feirong, and then said: "This is the result of the health inspection of the two white folded ears, and the CFA pedigree certificate has been applied, but there is no parenthood of the two kittens, so it will take some time." ”

Su Feirong took the file bag and opened it, took out the health inspection results and scanned it casually, there was no problem, and when she was about to close the file, she suddenly glanced at the column of whether she was sterilized, and it was written "sterilized".

Sophie Rong frowned, and the three-month-old kitten was neutered? It's not that it can't be done, it's just that pet cats usually don't have sterilization until after October, and three-month-old kittens are too small.

Su Feirong hurriedly turned the inspection report to the first page, confirmed that it was the health examination report of the two Scottish white folds, and then looked carefully at the page by page.

At a glance, Sophie Rong saw that something was wrong. The first point is neutering, and both kittens are infertile. The second point is that the bones of these two kittens are completely healthy.

In fact, folded ears cats are a poor life that should not appear, because their folded ears genes all carry the genetic disease gene of abnormal cartilage ossification development.

The incidence of cartilage lesions is related to the genes of the dominant surname and incognito, and scientific breeding methods can try to avoid cartilage ossification lesions, but at the same time, kittens with folded ears will also appear. The price of a folded ear cat is n times that of a vertical ear, so unscrupulous cat dealers will ignore the incidence of kittens in order to produce 100% of the folded ear kittens, and even all kittens will be 100% sick.

Once the disease occurs, the kitten's bones will be diseased, and every time the sick kitten moves, the bones will be extremely painful. Therefore, many cat lovers have called for no longer breeding folded ears cats, which is a torture for poor little life.

Even folded ears cats that do not suffer from chondrogenetic diseases need to endure varying degrees of degenerative joint diseases as long as there is a folded ear gene. It can be said that it is difficult for a cat with folded ears to have 100% healthy bones, otherwise the cartilage of the ears will not be soft.

When Su Feirong first accepted these two kittens, she was afraid that unscrupulous cat dealers would buy them as breeding cats and continue to torture these poor little lives. From the very beginning, she was ready to spay and neuter her two kittens so that they could live happily ever after.

However, the physical examination report of the two folded ear kittens said that the two kittens had no bone problems at all, and they were completely healthy under X-ray irradiation, which is not like the folded ear cat.

Therefore, Sophie Rong began to suspect that these two kittens were not folded ears cats, because there were some kittens that had droopy ears when they were kittens, and they looked like folded ears cats, but when they grew up, their ears stood up.

"Xiao Fang, you take those two white folded ears to the pet research center for another examination, I want the most detailed, especially the part of the folded ear gene." Sophie Rong closed the inspection report, and then commanded the clerk loudly.

"Boss, what's wrong? Did something go wrong? ”

"Not sure yet, but it's possible that we've been tricked, and those two may not be folded ears." Sophie Rong suppressed her depressed mood and said.

"How so? Uncle Qian said that it was a folded ear cat, how could it be? ”

"Don't worry about it for now, you take those two white folded ears for genetic testing, and go now. Take these two Bengal leopard cats with you. Sophie commanded.

The clerk said yes and went to run errands.

And because Zhou Yi has never had a cat, he knows very little about folded ear cats.

When I first chose to breed a Scottish Fold cat, I didn't know that the Fold cat had a cartilage genetic disease, and I just liked it at the time, so I chose two cute white Fold ears, and naturally I didn't know that the two white Fold ears I sold would cause so many troubles.

……

Two days later, Su Feirong personally went to the pet research center that she had cooperated with for a long time, and after getting the appraisal report, she looked at it in the research center.

The first are two Bengal leopard cats, which were identified as purebred and there is no doubt about it.

And the two Scottish Fold cats are a bit of a problem, these two kittens have all the characteristics of Su fold, but there is no "abnormal development of cartilage ossification" This lesion gene.

What's even more terrifying is that the genetic identification results show that the folded ear genes of the two kittens are the same surname.

If it is other folded ears in the cat that has two folded ears genes, then there is no doubt that this cat will have cartilage lesions 100%.

However, the current situation is that the two kittens have the folded ear gene but not the hypochondria gene.

What does this mean?

Sophie Rong was stunned by this astonishing discovery for a while, and she remembered the little folded cat that her father bought for her when she was a child, which was a memory that she could never forget for a lifetime.

It was when she was six years old, because she saw a silver gradient folded ear cat at the neighbor's house, and she liked it so much that she pestered her father and argued for a kitten.

Her father asked someone to find a beautiful folded ear cat, which was milky, small and cute.

Sophie Rong hugged the kitten every day, almost to the point of eating and sleeping together.

However, as the kitten grows up little by little, the kitten becomes more and more inactive, often sitting and refusing to move. Then, the kitten's tail became more and more stiff and could not swing from side to side.

When it is five months old, the kitten's hind leg bones begin to proliferate, giving birth to bone joints, and it is even more lame when it walks.

Sophie Rong knew that the kitten was sick and cried every day holding the kitten, so her father sent the kitten to the pet hospital, but the answer was that there was no way to treat it, so she could only eat chondroitin to slow down the condition.

After another three months, the kitten left before she became an adult, Sophie Rong cried for three days, and her father found her a second kitten, but she was very resistant and cried and drove the kitten out of the door.

Since then, Sophie Rong has never had a pet again, but when she grew up, she opened a pet café to help others choose suitable pets to keep them company.

Therefore, when she saw Zhou Yi running around with two folded ears kittens, she would be very angry and go up to teach him a lesson.
