Gu Weijing flipped through these materials.

He's going to be a copy of the "Cat Nanny" just now.

Similar to the scene where Ngawang and Bu Tao play with cat ball, based on Tony and Amy's daily life photos, he conceived a set of scene illustrations to evoke Tony's memories of Amy and get closer to his heart.

The photographs in his hands are all scanned and remade from a very old film.

Many of them were shot in the 80s and 90s of the 20th century, when digital cameras were just leaving the laboratory and the consumer market was still dominated by Kodak.

When they were sent, they were very intimately chronologically sorted.

The document on the left side of the screen shows the progress of Tony's treatment and psychological evaluation by his family doctor.

In the document on the right, there are photos of Tony and Amy's lives during this time.

Fingers swiped across the screen, and as far as the eye could see, there were bits and pieces of Tony's relationship with the cat, as well as changes in his psychological profile assessment.

Read these materials.

Let Gu Weijing have the illusion that one side sees life, and the other side sees the soul.

The first photograph of Amy was taken in September 1986.

In the photo, little Tony is sitting on the grass with a cat on his head, and the gray and white kitten looks like a woolen hat made of small clumps of fluff.

Tony's eyes rolled upwards and he looked hard at the cat above his head, revealing a large area of the whites of his eyes in a cross-eyed manner.

On the screen on the left, Tony's diagnosis was first diagnosed three weeks ago when he was diagnosed with autism.

The full medical report is long, but fortunately, the highlights have been highlighted.

[Patient situation - CARS score (note): 45 points, ABC score: 103 points]

[Significant affective disorder, poor imitation ability, mild abnormality of audio-visual response, no language ability, intellectual disability (suspected?) ), indifferent to the ability to deal with the external environment......]

(Note: CARS is an abbreviation for the Child Autism Rating Scale, and a total assessment score of more than 30 points can be diagnosed with autism, less than 36 is considered mild-moderate autism, and a total score of more than 36 is severe autism.) The same is true for the ABC scale, the higher the score, the more severe the autism manifestation. ）

[Suggestion: Cultivate the patient's ability to get along with the external environment, cultivate hobbies such as music and art, and try animal therapy to attract the child's attention and attention to the outside world.] 】

"This was your first encounter."

Gu Weijing tilted his head, not knowing whether it was an unintentional capture or a specially posed pose.

Anyway, the children are really cute in the shape of cats.

In the photo, Tony rolls his eyes and looks at the cat, and there is no sign that he lacks attention to the outside world.

Photo of Tony feeding the kitten, photo of Tony and kitten sitting on the swing, photo of Tony running after the kitten, photo of the kitten running after Tony......

Slide through one photo after another.

Every time he saw a photo worthy of being turned into painting material, Gu Weijing marked them separately from the photo collection.

By Amy's side, it's always easier for this boy to have a rare smile on his face.

As long as he spends time with his cat, Tony will always act a little more like a normal person than usual.

As the photographs go by year after year, the diagnostic report on the left and the content of the annual follow-up are constantly changing.

CARS score: 45, 43, 44, 42, 40, 41, 39......

The fluctuation of the score of autistic patients with 1~2 points is within the normal error range, but this trend of approaching the normal boundary as a whole is rare.

The more severe the autistic person, every point towards the boundary of taking off the hat is very precious.

Budao's CARS score is exactly in the critical range of 30 points, and it is unknown whether he will be able to successfully live an ordinary life in the future.

People over the age of 10 with severe autism are almost completely insulated from normal society.

Tony's condition has been steadily improving on a year-to-year basis.

In addition to intellectual disability from suspected to confirmed, this is basically impossible to do at birth.

Both the perception of the outside world and the ability to express oneself emotionally are steadily improving.

Even the language ability has changed from none to poor, and then to medium.

Even the psychiatrist who was in charge of treatment at the time, when he saw this linear change, he had to sigh from the bottom of his heart - Tony and Amy, people who grew up together since childhood, and cats are really a rare fit.

When Tony was sixteen, his CARS rating was at an all-time low of 35, which was the threshold for moderate autism.

The treating physician at the time wrote the unbelievable rating on the rating sheet with a fountain pen.

After the examination, Tony, Amy, Jane Arnold and the attending doctor took a group photo outside the clinic.

The cat in the photo on the right is jumping on Tony's shoulder, its little paws resting gently on top of his head, and looking sideways at the camera.

Tony grinned as he held the cat in his hand.

Their pair turned out to be more like the intimacy between elders and children than Jane Arnaud, who was shaking hands with the attending doctor next to her.

Looking at such a bright and bright smile, Gu Weijing felt his heart twitch for no reason.

Before the great change, people would always have thought that life would go on so easily.

When he reads "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he often only wants to see Liu Bei seize the land of Bashu and stop.

This is the pinnacle of the Shu Han regime.,Before that, everything was like the prophecy of the military advisor Zhuge Liang, and the hegemony was slowly unfolding.,The protagonists are the children of fate.,It seems that the promise of reviving the Han dynasty is really only tomorrow.。

After this.

Second Master Guan died, General Zhang also died, the lord Liu Bei also died after being burned for 800 miles, and the three brothers of Taoyuan Jieyi died in a vastly white place. After the heart-wrenching peak paragraph, there is one tragedy after another.

It's like he knows the plot of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Gu Weijing could smell the smell of bad luck in the air.

He knew that Amy was already a very old cat by this time, and soon he would not be able to jump on top of Tony's head as dexterously as he did now, and put his paws on his big head like a kind mother.

Soon the story will take a sharp turn.

He clearly remembers the 46-point rating on a recent CARS evaluation card given by Dr. Jin Anqing.

After a dozen years of happy times, Tony is about to close his heart again.

Gu Weijing took a slow breath and continued to flip back the information.

The final image was taken in 2001, 14 years after Amy arrived with the family.

The original scanned film photographs have evolved into short videos taken by VCD camcorders.

Both the cat and Tony have grown up.

Not only grew up, according to the age of the cat, Amy was already an old cat at that time.

Because of the disease.

It lay dying in its cradle, its nimble and vigorous body in the past, and it was very dry.

Luck is also misfortune, good medical conditions allow Amy to live longer than the average terminally ill cat.

When Gu Weijing saw the video, he knew for the first time that a cat with ordinary meat could be as thin as a firewood rod picked up.

In the background of the video.

Doctors and nurses in blue uniforms decorate warm-colored rooms with flowers and cartoon motifs, and soothing classical music plays on the stereo.

At the turn of the millennium, Amy was found to have a tumor in her head.

For this tumor, Jane Arnaud spent tens of thousands of dollars on the treatment of his son's precious cat, and he could buy a thousand native cats like Ngawang in Myanmar.

But Amy is too old, and the folded ears are not a long-lived group among cats.

Material resources are sometimes poor.

It is a more humane choice to let her leave the world here peacefully.

This is the best pet hospital in New Zealand.

Not only does it have a professional senior veterinarian, but it also provides pet hospice care and animal euthanasia programs for pet lovers who have a lot of money in the upper class and have nowhere to spend.

It's not so much hospice care for pets.

It would be more accurate to provide emotional support for those owners.

The nurses will decorate the room with warmth and comfort, and will also post pictures of various cute animals, and finally give the cat's urn jar and a strand of cut cat hair to the owner after euthanasia.

It can customize some accessories such as cat necklaces according to different customer requirements.

In the past, a local TV variety singer cried profusely and expressed his hope that he would like to have a bracelet with dog hair in the hollow, and wear it when he sings, thinking that it will bring her good luck, temperature and faith.

There are even animal "priests" who give end-of-life mass to animals.

Anyway, as long as you have money, except for the fact that you can't bring the dead back to life, all kinds of services are available.

The concept of the elite pet hospital is that a death is not terrible, and the pet does not leave, but ascends to heaven and accompanies the owner in another way.

The video, titled "The Ritual of Love," was also filmed at the pet hospital.

In the video, Tony is standing not far from the cradle, looking at his cat.

A man next to him who looked like a veterinarian or a ritual, holding Tony in one hand and Jane Arnaud in the other, said softly.

"Amy is in pain right now, it's just about to go to a pain-free place, and in a little while it will reappear with you. We remember that Amy is a good cat, and her heart and soul will be loyal to her beloved owner......"

Tony is already an adult.

In terms of size, he was half a head taller than his father and the doctor next to him, but his face looked helpless like a fragile baby.

He pursed his lips and fixed his eyes on the cradle in front of him.

Gu Weijing didn't know if Tony would be able to understand what was about to happen.

The medical case is marked with a different situation between Tony and Bu Dao, and Tony does have a severe intellectual disability in the physical sense.

Judging from the perspective of brain development, he may not be much smarter than the cat in the cradle.

Being able to communicate some common sentences in everyday life is the limit of his comprehension.

Theoretically, it should be quite difficult for him to understand the specific meaning of "euthanasia".

But in the video camera, which is not clear, Tony's sad eyes made Gu Weijing feel heartbroken.

I don't know if it's a word of comfort or prayer.

The doctor put down Jane Arnold and Tony's hands and prepared to take the cat cradle away.

"Mourning, sir, if you don't have a special request to stay with the animal until the last minute, the 'sleep' process is usually recommended not to be watched."

"Okay, let's not go and see." Jane Arnold took her son's hand.

"Finally, let's make sure, the ashes are planted in greenery, and I want a cat plush doll of the same color as Amy, right?"

The doctor checks the checklist next to the cradle and looks at the items the client has selected one last time.

The master illustrator glanced at the silent child with an inquiring gaze, waited a few seconds, and then turned to the doctor and said, "Well, that's it." ”

"Please take a short break here, it will take about twenty-five minutes."

The doctor handed Jane Arnold the torn out voucher and prepared to leave with the bassinet.

Just then, a large hand grabbed the other end of the cat's cradle.

"Sir?"

The doctor looked at the older child who was grabbing the cradle.

“NO。”

Tony shook his head.

"Sir, Amy is not leaving, he is just with you in another form, please mourn. This is a process that every life must go through. ”

The doctor was relieved.

Tony still stubbornly shook his head and said no.

The doctor shrugged, not angry.

He knows the situation of Jane Arnold's son, the client is God, and besides, what is the argument with a child with autism who will never grow up?

"Sir, help persuade your son to take control." He said this to Jane Arnold and the other nurses.

The man stretched out his hand and prepared to carry Amy straight from the cradle.

“Oooh——fuck”

The doctor let out a sudden, uncontrollable cry of pain.

Tony clung to the edge of the cradle and didn't let anyone snatch it away...... The burly little kid suddenly opened his mouth wide and bit the arm of the doctor who was trying to take Amy.

"Sir! Mr! Come on, he's crazy. ”

It's really a chicken, a dog, an extremely embarrassing scene.

Tony actually bites the doctor.

For a moment, the figure in the camera swayed, the doctor, Jane Arnold, the nurse of the pet hospital, and Jane Arnold's personal assistant.

All sorts of people shook in front of the camera, and even the cameraman ran up to help.

The noise and cacophony completely obscured the soothing classical music in the background, and the scene was a chaotic mess.

At this moment, Tony was so frightened that he burst into tears.

He was once again isolated from this ordinary world, but he still stubbornly clung to the cradle.

He hugged him so tightly, as if he wanted to prevent fate from mercilessly separating him from his own Amy.

His mouth was wide open, as if to bite every outstretched hand.

Amy looked like she was shedding a lot, showing her flesh-colored skin under her hair like a bald old man. However, in the arms of the burly Tony, the body is set off as if it is more compact than the small lump on his head fourteen years ago.

"What a kid who was raised by a cat."

Gu Weijing sighed.

Tony is nineteen years old, and he is the strongest man in the pet ward, but at this moment, he can only subconsciously attack every "bad" person who tries to take Amy away from him with his teeth like a poor kitten.
