Zhang Zian and Xinghai played hide-and-seek for a while. Suddenly, they heard Vladimir shout rhythmically, "121, left, right, left! 121, left, right, left! "
The three Abyssinian cats followed the rhythm of its shouts. When it shouted one, they moved their left front leg and right hind leg. When it shouted two, they moved their right front leg and left hind leg. Although it was still not very neat, it was already improving. It was much better than before. In time, they should be able to walk very orderly.
One of the characteristics of cats was that they could walk in a straight line, which meant that all four of their feet could step on the same line. The models on the runway also walked this way, but the models were trained. Unlike cats, who walked instinctively, they would almost never go astray. Human soldiers walked in two straight lines, so the cats' walking was more pleasing to the eye.
Vladimir said, "Everything has to be done in the right way. This way, you can get twice the result with half the effort."
Fina finally felt satisfied and nodded reservedly. "Walking in unison is just the beginning. I still have to let them learn to walk in a straight line. Turn off the music and disperse first. Don't disturb my sleep!"
After saying that, it jumped to the highest level of the cat tree, closed its eyes, and began to sleep again.
Zhang Zian thought to himself that this was really something. It really knew how to torment people!
He turned off the music, opened the shutter door, and let the fresh air flow into the shop.
It was almost the most suitable season of the year. If they didn't go out for a walk, it would be a waste of such good weather.
Famous poked its head out to look at the staircase. When it saw that the hide-and-seek was over, it dared to sneak down quietly.
Zhang Zian was about to continue cleaning when he saw that Vladimir walked over. It raised its head and asked, "Yesterday, the stupid big guy and the middle-aged woman, what was that infectious disease they were talking about?"
The so-called stupid big guy, of course, referred to Liu Yonghui, and the middle-aged woman referred to Liu Wenying.
Vladimir arrived at the shop late, so it didn't see the scene of Liu Wenying's Siamese cat suddenly having an attack in the pet shop after being infected with rabies. Therefore, it didn't quite understand some of the details of the conversation between the two of them yesterday. It didn't ask at the time, but now that it was free, it raised its doubts.
"Oh, you're asking about this …"
As Zhang Liao swept the floor, he told it about what had happened. It was about Liu Wenying's Siamese cat being scratched by a stray cat that came out of nowhere when it was walking in the residential area. It was infected with rabies, which caused the residents of the residential area to panic, especially some stubborn old men and women. They decided to kill all the stray cats in the residential area.
"Oh, and what's rabies?" Vladimir raised a new question.
"It's an infectious disease shared by humans, felines, and canines. Regardless of whether it's a human, a dog, or a cat, once infected, it's almost certain death." Zhang Zian explained, "So people are very afraid of this kind of infectious disease, and sometimes they do extreme things because of fear."
"That's a problem …" Vladimir muttered to himself.
For domestic pet cats, the impact of this problem was very small. After all, most pet cats would not leave home, so there was almost no possibility of infection. But for stray cats, the problem was more serious. The frequent cat abuse incidents had made their lives difficult, and the terrible infectious diseases were like ghosts raging among stray cats.
"If we want to fight against a strong enemy and win, we must try our best to preserve our strength," it said. "If we can't stop the spread of the infectious disease in time, stray cats will be defeated by the disease before the Holy Cat statue and the cat abusers do anything."
"That's true, but there doesn't seem to be a good way," Zhang Zian admitted. But rabies had always been a big problem, and it wasn't something that could be solved easily. "You have to be careful when you go out in the future. Although it's good to get along with a group of cats, you have to pay attention to your own safety."
"Because someone choked to death on food, so you don't eat anymore?" Vladimir didn't seem to care much about its own safety. It didn't care at all, which was similar to Fina.
It thought about it and asked, "After being infected with rabies, are there any obvious symptoms?"
"Yes, such as photophobia, fear of wind, fear of water, confusion, and so on. In some cases, it will also be more aggressive towards humans and animals," Zhang Zian explained.
Vladimir's eyes lit up, as if it had thought of a good idea. It said confidently, "That's easy."
Zhang Zian thought to himself, "You're not an internationalist warrior, Bethune. Can you invent any special medicine?"
He saw it walk to the door of the shop and whistle.
After a while, a black cat appeared on the wall of the opposite community. It jumped down the wall, carefully avoiding the cars, and ran over.
"It's a member of the Meow Meow Branch of the opposite community," Vladimir introduced.
Zhang Zian was speechless.
It seemed that while he was sleeping soundly every night, Vladimir had already done a lot of things in secret …
After crossing the road, the black cat kept a safe distance from the pedestrians. It walked to a place about a few meters from the entrance of the pet shop, then hesitated and didn't dare to go any closer.
Vladimir looked back at Fina.
Zhang Zian froze for a moment, then understood. This black cat was a stray cat. It smelled Fina's scent and didn't dare to go too close.
Since it didn't dare to come over, Vladimir simply walked out of the pet shop, walked in front of the black cat, and squatted down.
Zhang Zian wondered what it was planning to do.
Without waiting for him to ask, Vladimir took the initiative to explain, "Didn't you say that rabies will make you delirious? So I thought of a way. "
Zhang Zian nodded. "What way?"
Symptoms such as photophobia, fear of wind, and fear of water were quite good to use to determine whether humans were infected with rabies. However, cats were nocturnal animals and were naturally afraid of water. They would find a place to rest from the wind, so it was not reliable to use these symptoms to determine whether a cat was infected with rabies.
But confusion … How could they determine whether it was infected with rabies?
Vladimir grinned. "The way is to match the secret code."
"Match the secret code?" Zhang Zian found it quite interesting. Cats could match the secret code?
Vladimir nodded. "That's right! Stray cats often fight with each other for territory. Sometimes, even if it's not for territory, they will still fight. Objectively, it creates the conditions for the spread of rabies. "
Zhang Zian admitted that it was right. Fights between stray cats were very common. Although most of them were roaring at each other and competing to see who was louder, they would occasionally use their claws.
"So I'm going to let the nearby stray cats match the secret code with each other when they get close to each other. Cats that are not in their right mind definitely won't be able to match the secret code, right? If the other party can match it, it means that they are sane, and the chance of contracting rabies is very small. On the other hand, if the other party can't match the secret code, don't approach the other party, "Vladimir explained.
This method was quite interesting. To put it bluntly, it was to isolate the source of infection. It was very old but very effective. Thousands of years ago, people did not have specific drugs and vaccines to fight against infectious diseases, so they could adopt the method of isolating patients from the general population to control the spread of infectious diseases.
"Practice is the only standard to test the truth! I'm going to feel the stones to cross the river. I can't be conservative or rash. First, I'll conduct a small-scale test in Binhai City. If it works, I'll further promote it to stray cats in the country in the future, "it said confidently.
Zhang Zian felt that there were a lot of things to complain about, but for the sake of a harmonious society, it was better not to say anything.
"Okay … Then what are you going to use as the secret code? If you meow twice, it'll meow three times, like this? Or if you meow three times, it'll meow four times? "he asked half-jokingly.
"That's too simple. It's easy to be fooled, and it won't have the effect of distinguishing between friend and foe." Vladimir waved its paw and denied it. "Let me and this black cat give you a demonstration, and you'll understand."
Zhang Zian looked at it seriously.
Not only him, but the other elfins in the shop also looked at it curiously. Even Fina opened her eyes a little and stared at the interaction between Vladimir and the black cat.
Vladimir took a few steps back and retreated to the door of the shop. It raised its head and chest and squatted straight. The black cat did the same. They were about two to three meters apart.
It cleared its throat, raised its right front paw, and raised its feet above its head. It said, "The king covers the earth, meow!"
Pfft!
Zhang Zian almost choked on his own saliva!
"Where did you hear that from?" he asked, speechless.
Before Vladimir could answer, Old Time Tea poked its head out from behind the TV and explained with a smile, "Last night, it watched 'The Snowy Forest' with me …"
This was f * cking learning and applying it on the spot!
The black cat didn't quite understand what Vladimir was saying either. It was stunned and didn't know what to do.
Vladimir patiently taught it, "Don't worry! Come, learn what I did just now. "
The black cat also raised its right front paw and raised its feet above its head. "Meow meow meow meow meow!"
Vladimir also raised its right front paw and raised its feet above its head. "Pagoda Town Demon Cat!"
"Do you understand? This is the secret code. After meeting, one cat will say the first half of the sentence, and the other cat will say the second half. As long as they can match, it means that the other party can be trusted, "it explained.
"Come, do it again. This time, I'll say it first." It raised its paw and said, "The king covers the earth, meow!"
"Meow meow meow meow meow!" The black cat raised its paw in response.
"Well, not bad. This time, you go first. "Vladimir put down its paw and gestured.
The black cat raised its paw. "Meow meow meow meow meow!"
Vladimir raised its paw. "Pagoda Town Demon Cat!"
Zhang Zian didn't know what kind of expression he should put on at this time. Fortunately, Vladimir didn't make the secret code too complicated. If it had said a few more things — "Why is your face so black?", "You're so energetic!", "Why is it blue again?", "To prevent the cold, I've applied wax!" and so on, then he wouldn't dare to look directly at "The Snowy Forest" in the future …
After practicing it a few times, Vladimir waved its paw in satisfaction and said, "Okay, go and spread this set of secret codes to other stray cats. In the future, when everyone meets, they have to match the secret codes first."
The black cat meowed and left with the order.
