Going to the bathroom was a very private thing. Even between husband and wife, one person would not stare at the other person from beginning to end. That was simply looking for a fight.
At first, Zhao Qi didn't care. She thought that Lan Lan might be thirsty and followed it to the bathroom when it heard the sound of water. However, when she went out to take a look, Lan Lan's basin was still full of water, and it didn't seem to want to drink water. After a few times, she couldn't stand it anymore. No matter when she woke up in the morning or in the middle of the night, as long as she went to the bathroom, Lan Lan would follow her and stare at her.
It was really … weird.
Fortunately, Lan Lan was a cat, and she had a lot of tolerance. If it were anyone else, she would have already turned hostile.
But even so, she felt that she had a nervous breakdown and was under a lot of psychological pressure. She had to relieve the pressure by shopping and shopping crazily. Of course, this was an excuse. To be precise, she wanted to reduce the number and time of going to the bathroom at home as much as possible.
Her best friend, Shi Shi, was one of the few people who knew the inside story. She once suggested to her that she should simply hit Lan Lan a few times when it stared at her in the bathroom again, so that it wouldn't dare to do it again.
Since the last time Zhang Zian corrected her wrong way of raising a dog, she no longer spoiled her Labrador blindly. She rewarded it when it should be rewarded, and punished it when it should be punished. If it was really naughty and refused to change, she would hit it a few times on the spot when it made a mistake, so that it would recognize its mistake and dare not do it again next time. From then on, her Xiao La seemed to have changed into a dog. It was no longer the dog that barked, peed, and pounced around. Instead, it had become a well-behaved dog that people praised when they brought it out. It obeyed orders, sat, and stood when people told it to stand. The neighbors who raised dogs all asked her for advice on how to train them. Both Shi Shi and her boyfriend were proud.
Therefore, Shi Shi, who had tasted the sweetness, suggested to Zhao Qi that she should punish Lan Lan severely.
Zhao Qi was very confused. On the one hand, she felt that it couldn't go on like this. It was too weird. On the other hand, she was reluctant to hit Lan Lan. Besides, what was the use of hitting it? Cats were not dogs. Maybe it would only destroy the relationship between her and Lan Lan. Instead of that, it was better to let it stare at her. Maybe after a while, she would get used to it.
Actually, there was something she didn't mention. Sometimes, Lan Lan would not only stare at her, but it would also run over … and pull her pants. The small ones were very expensive, and if she wasn't careful, her pants would be ripped off by its claws.
Zhang Zian found it funny and said, "Actually, it's nothing. Lan Lan may think that you are hiding the good stuff in the bathroom and eating it secretly when it is not paying attention, so it has to stare at you."
This time, the staff and the two girls could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing.
Zhao Qi was angry and amused at the same time. She stomped her feet and said, "Don't make fun of me! "Lan and Lan Lan and Yang. "Lan" to "I am to and I?
"Well …" Zhang Zian shrugged. "In fact, this situation is not rare. Not only cats, but dogs also sometimes do this. It's just that people think that dogs are very clingy, so when dogs follow the toilet, they don't think about it. As for the reason … After all, humans are not cats and dogs. We don't know what they are thinking. We can only guess. "
"You can guess. Anyway, I want to know the reason," Zhao Qi stubbornly asked.
"Some people say that it is because cats are afraid of water, and the bathroom is a place with a lot of water. So, it followed you in because it is afraid that you will fall into the toilet and drown … It also shows that it still values you," he explained.
Zhao Qi had mixed feelings. She was very happy that Lan Lan was so worried about her, but the way it was worried made her very confused.
"Some people say that the cat is wondering why you don't use cat litter when you go to the toilet. It wants to help you cover up your excrement after you go to the toilet to prevent the smell from attracting natural enemies. In the eyes of cats, humans are stupid cats that are neither good at hunting nor good at hiding their tracks. If they don't worry about humans, humans may starve to death or be eaten by natural enemies in minutes," he said.
Zhao Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"But I don't think either of these statements are necessarily accurate." Zhang Zian's tone changed. "The loophole in the former statement is that dogs are not afraid of water, so why would dogs follow you in? The loophole in the latter statement is that when the cat follows you into the toilet, you may not have excreted yet. How would it know that you don't use cat litter? There are a lot of similar speculations. Some people say that the cat smells the ammonia in the excrement, so it is attracted … "
Zhao Qi thought about it. Lan Lan sometimes followed her into the toilet when she just entered and before she took off her pants.
"What do you think is the reason?" she asked humbly.
Zhang Zian said, "I personally prefer another explanation. Whether it is cats, dogs, or humans, they are most vulnerable when they go to the toilet, and they are vulnerable to natural enemies. So cats and dogs follow you when you go to the toilet because they want to … watch your back and help you keep an eye on you. In fact, these explanations have some truth, but there are also loopholes. The real reason may be both, or it may not be related at all. "
Zhao Qi listened to his explanation and was even a little fascinated by it. But after listening to it carefully, she still didn't understand the reason.
Zhang Zian advised, "You don't have to worry too much. No matter what the reason is, in the end, one thing is for sure — Lan Lan cares about your existence and values you very much. It is not like what you think, where it grew up and became estranged from you. It just changed its way of caring for you."
After a pause, he said, "When it was young, it only wanted you to play with it, so it stuck to you all the time. But now that it has grown up, it disdains the way it played when it was young. Isn't this the same as a human? Now that you are asked to play with your childhood toys, can you still play with them? "
The others felt the same way. Yes, those childhood toys, even if they were not thrown away, had been in the corner of the house for a long time.
Zhang Zian finally gave an example as a conclusion. "Or, this is like a child who used to be very close to you, and you were the only one for each other. He grew up quickly under your eyes, but your impression of him has always been that of a child. You didn't realize that he was growing so fast, and then you feel lost because he has become estranged from you. In fact, he has grown into a teenager who can take charge of things on his own. He is no longer so close to you, and even deliberately alienates you. But when he thinks that you may be in danger, he will appear by your side and use his own way to protect you."
Whether it was Zhao Qi, Wang Yan, Zhou Jiena, or the staff, they were all a little stunned.
