Chapter 43 This isn't right, what happened?!
Xu Ran found some meat strips and fed them to the country cat that had just arrived at the farm.
"You can only eat mice, not my chicks."
"If you dare to eat chicken, don't blame me for being impolite."
Xu Ran pointed to the chicken coop and reminded him.
Many cats are actually very smart and can understand human speech; the difference lies in whether they are willing to listen.
Country cats that grow up in rural environments must have excellent genes.
Because anyone with poor genes would have either frozen or starved to death and wouldn't have survived until now.
The three cats ate the meat strips without much change in expression, but they didn't resist Xu Ran either.
At this moment, Xu Ran picked up her phone, found a picture of a tabby cat, zoomed in on it, and showed it to them:
"Also, do any of your relatives or friends have a kitten like this? If so, call it over."
"I can raise it!"
Xu Ran continued.
He had previously seen some videos where cat owners, after losing their cats, would go to their neighborhoods to feed stray cats and show them pictures of their lost cats, asking the stray cats to help them find their lost cats.
The next day, the cat owner's cat was beaten and sent home.
Stray cats are quite perceptive.
The three tabby cats looked up at the photo of the tabby cat on the phone. As soon as they saw it, two of the tabby cats were so frightened that they took two steps back.
The other one was watching intently.
The tabby cat is among the best in terms of fighting ability among domestic cats, and it is also very aggressive, so many cats will run away in panic when they see a tabby cat.
The farm is really short of cats.
Owls alone cannot catch all the mice.
Xu Ran guessed they didn't understand and were just saying it casually.
It was already very late.
After finishing their meat strips, the cats ran off and disappeared into the night.
Xu Ran also went back to rest.
The farm was quiet at night.
The sounds of roosters crowing and sheep bleating have disappeared, and moonlight shines on the sunflower field, where the crops continue to grow vigorously.
Three tabby cats chatted with each other on the roof.
In mountain villages, cats and dogs all have social circles, and these circles are clearly defined.
They have a language that humans cannot understand.
The discussion should be related to the photos provided by Xu Ran.
Judging from their appearance, they seem to want to do something, but dare not do it.
I hesitated here.
Cannibals are soft and short.
Now that we've eaten the meat strips Xu Ran fed us, we have to get things done.
These three domestic cats happen to be quite principled, and if they want to live on the farm, they have to listen to the farm boss.
This is the pledge of allegiance.
Their heads bobbed back and forth, as if to say:
"What should we do? Go or not?"
"You go! I'm too scared!"
"For the sake of staffing!"
After some hesitation, the three cats took advantage of the darkness, climbed over the courtyard wall, crawled through the fence, and headed towards Nanshan Village next door.
There are many cats in Nanshan Village.
Most farmers keep one or two.
If this continues, you can imagine how many cats there will be.
Among these domestic cats, there are a few that are very powerful and are not to be trifled with by other cats.
They have no choice but to submit.
The two most formidable cats in Nanshan Village are a black tabby cat, commonly known as a tabby cat, and a yellow tabby cat, commonly known as a big orange cat.
Many people only know that orange cats are prone to gaining weight, but in reality, they can be very powerful fighters when they get aggressive.
The "big orange" here refers to a large orange cat with a uniform coat color; those with alternating orange and white colors do not count.
Black tabby and yellow tabby cats are extremely fierce fighters with exceptional survival skills in the wild. Moreover, these two breeds are particularly fond of fighting and will often engage in a battle whenever they meet.
Therefore, there is a debate online about whether the black raccoon or the yellow raccoon is more powerful.
Judging from many examples, each has its own merits.
Three domestic cats made their way to the territory of the black tabby cat.
As they walked on the wall, they felt a chill in their bodies, and their movements became much slower.
I sensed a murderous aura.
Their movements unconsciously slowed down, and they would look back after taking a step, as if something was wrong.
While they were still in shock, a sturdy black tabby cat with short, thick fur suddenly leaped onto the wall and stared at the three domestic cats.
The three tabby cats were immediately terrified and stood frozen in place, their bodies hunched over and their muscles tense.
He is the gang leader of Nanshan Village and one of the most powerful cats.
It takes care of all the cats in this area.
The gang leader didn't think much of the three cats, so he didn't make things difficult for them, but he did find their behavior a bit strange.
They were acting suspiciously late at night.
What are you doing wandering around aimlessly?
Then, the three tabby cats mustered their courage, approached the leader of the black cats, and began to communicate in their own feline language.
After that, they exchanged something, and soon disappeared into the night.
The gang leader left Nanshan Village and personally came to the farm for inspection.
At night, Little Grey seemed to sense something and suddenly woke up, looking towards the top of the wall.
However, it didn't see anything.
Inside the tree hollow, the owl kept its eyes fixed on the leader of the gang. It could sense the danger the leader posed, so it did not make any rash moves.
The gang leader also saw the owl, but he wasn't afraid.
After all, among species of the same size, whether flying in the sky, swimming in the water, or running on the ground, none can rival the feline.
After inspecting the farm, the gang leader left quietly.
The next day.
Xu Ran woke up very early.
Wang Ping had already started cooking pig feed, and Xu Ran went over to help.
Humans have their own way of life, and animals have their own way of life.
Another new day.
Around 11 a.m., after inspecting the farm, Xu Ran returned to the yard to rest.
He opened the system shop and redeemed several [Livestock Deworming Medicine] pills.
[Livestock Deworming Medication: This medication can prevent parasites from harming farm pets and livestock.]
This tool is very useful.
After all, the farm is close to the mountains, and the environment is closer to pure nature, so there must be a lot of parasites.
Xu Ran had to feed all the little ones some.
The calves and wild boars were very obedient; when given deworming medicine, they swallowed it whole.
The little Border Collie clearly didn't want to eat, so it started to play tricks.
After Xu Ran fed it, it first closed its mouth, lowered its head, and then secretly looked at Xu Ran with its eyes raised.
When Xu Ran wasn't paying attention, she quietly spat out the deworming medicine from her mouth.
However, dogs are always terrible at acting; you can usually tell what they're up to just by looking at their guilty eyes.
"Little Grey, come here!"
Xu Ran called it over.
Little Grey wagged its tail and ran over with a fawning smile.
Then, Xu Ran pried open its mouth, pressed the deworming medicine directly into its throat, pinched its mouth shut, and scratched its neck.
"Gulp!"
Little Grey swallowed a big mouthful.
Xu Ran then released it.
"You have to take this medicine, or you'll get infected with parasites."
"If you don't eat, I'll take you to get a shot next."
Upon hearing that he was going to get a shot, Little Gray immediately lowered his bottom, his face full of obedience.
Xu Ran just smiled.
After lunch, Xu Ran prepared to take a nap.
The weather is still a bit hot, but it's much better than before after that heavy rain.
It gets a bit hotter around noon.
As usual, Xu Ran took a stroll for a while. On her way back to the yard, a well-behaved and adorable calico cat caught her attention.
In the cat world, calico cats are all beautiful female cats with high looks, and they are very popular with male cats. Male cats often fight over calico female cats.
"Another one?"
Xu Ran found it quite strange.
"Mimi, come here!"
He crouched down, wanting the calico cat to come over.
In China, cats whose names are unknown are generally referred to as "Mimi".
Dogs that you don't recognize are generally referred to as "sniffing dogs".
The calico cat didn't move, stared at Xu Ran for a few seconds, and then suddenly ran behind the wall.
Just when Xu Ran thought it had run away, the calico cat reappeared, but this time it was carrying a very small tabby kitten in its mouth.
It looks like it must be its child.
The tabby cat's genes are very strong; when a tabby cat mates with any domestic shorthair cat, the offspring will definitely have tabby markings.
It possesses one of the strongest genes in the cat world.
Another factor is the white cat gene; any white cat that mates with another white cat will produce pure white offspring.
"Um?"
Xu Ran was stunned for a moment.
This isn't right.
What's going on?
No way, did they bring a cat?
what?
What happened?!
