Zhou Jiena and Wang Yan watched the kitten cry, and they suddenly panicked. They knew that they were not beautiful, and they only drew their eyebrows when they went out on the weekend. Their appearance was at most at the level of a passer-by, but even so, this kitten was not ugly enough to cry, right?
It stared at them with its watery eyes, and its eyes were sad and pitiful, as if it had been bullied by them.
This kitten's body shape was somewhat similar to that of a British Shorthair. It also had a big head and a small body, and its limbs were short. It looked ignorant, like a plush doll, which could arouse people's desire to protect it. Its head and back were mainly dark blue, and its neck, chest, abdomen, and limbs were white. It was somewhat like a British Shorthair, but its face was completely different from that of a British Shorthair. In addition to its gorgeous bronze eyes that were filled with water vapor, the most eye-catching thing was its flat nose. When it stared at you, it looked like the emoji of "daze."
The abundant tears wet the hair under its eyes, and the hair became tufts of hair, making its round face look a little sloppy.
"Hey, this cat … I seem to have seen it many times in emoji packs …" Zhou Jiena was the first to discover this.
"Yes! Indeed! Although it is not the same fur color, this expression … I really see it in various emoji packs. It looks like a poor wife who has been bullied. "Wang Yan also echoed." But why is it crying? Is it uncomfortable? "
"This … Let's talk to the boss," Zhou Jiena said.
Wang Yan nodded and raised her voice. "Boss, this cat …"
Zhang Zian raised his head. Before he could say anything, Li Kun, who was the closest to him, jumped up from his chair, picked up a small bag, and walked to the kitten.
Li Kun skillfully took out a few things from the bag and lined them up on the display cabinet.
Zhou Jiena and Wang Yan looked at it curiously and saw small scissors, paper towels, cotton pads, cotton balls, and a small bottle of transparent unknown liquid. Among them, the shape of the small scissors was more strange. Unlike ordinary scissors, it was slightly curved, and the tip of the knife was blunt.
When Li Kun got up, Wang Qian also moved. He put down his phone, walked into the pet bathroom on the first floor, and washed his hands a little. He only washed his fingers with soap, because their hands were soaked in water many times a day. If it was not necessary, they would not wash their whole hands. Otherwise, the skin on the back of their hands would easily be frostbitten or cracked in autumn and winter.
When Li Kun took out all the things, Wang Qian also came over after washing his hands. The former pressed the body and head of the kitten to prevent it from moving, while the latter picked up the blunt scissors with his clean fingers. First, he used the small scissors to cut the wet hair under the kitten's eyes, and then he used a tissue to dry its tears.
This was not the end. Wang Qian put down the scissors, threw away the tissue, opened the bottle cap of the unknown liquid, wet the cotton pads with the transparent liquid, and carefully wiped the short hair under the eyes that was mixed with tears and dust.
Finally, he took a cotton ball and dipped it in clean warm water, and wiped the unknown liquid clean.
The whole process seemed a bit complicated, but the staff basically did similar things several times a day. Practice makes perfect, and it was done in three or four minutes at most.
The refreshed kitten became energetic. Because of the moisture from the tears, its big bronze eyes were brighter and more radiant than other kittens, and could even reflect the reflections of the two girls.
The two girls were stunned until Wang Qian and Li Kun packed up their tools and planned to return to their seats to continue playing games. They quickly asked, "What … are you doing?"
"Cleaning the tear stains," Li Kun replied briefly.
"That is …" They pointed to the transparent liquid in the small bottle.
"Boric acid."
"Oh? Acid … it's actually acid? " The two girls were stunned at the same time. They looked at each other and felt that the other's expression was somewhat similar to the kitten.
"Don't talk about acid. Boric acid is not sulfuric acid, so it is not irritating," Wang Qian said casually.
Wang Qian and Li Kun went to throw away the trash, and Zhang Zian continued, "Cats need to secrete tears to keep their noses moist, but sometimes the nasolacrimal duct will be blocked, and the tears will overflow. Human skin is smooth, and it will be fine to wipe the tears off. However, cats' tears will get on their fur, and after a long time, they will form tear stains. Therefore, ordinary cats only need to clean their tear stains occasionally, but this kind of cat …"
He raised his hand and pointed to the flat-faced kitten. "This kind of Garfield needs to be cleaned every one or two days because of the structure of the nasolacrimal duct."
"This is Garfield?"
The two girls had heard of the name Garfield, but their impression of Garfield was that of an exaggerated image from an anime. Except for a pair of melancholy drooping eyes that were somewhat similar to this kitten, it was difficult to associate it with a classic anime.
Compared to anime, the image of Garfield in online memes was more common. It always had a silly expression that made people unable to help but laugh.
"Well, Garfield is a very unique kind of cat, very unique in every sense," Zhang Zian said.
What attracted the two girls was not the Garfield kitten's charmingly naive appearance, but its pair of big eyes that were more gentle than other cats'. They were like two shining gems. Other cats' eyes were beautiful, but they were not as spirited as Garfield's. Anyone who saw Garfield for the first time would definitely be attracted by its eyes.
Its bright and melancholy big eyes, coupled with its simple, adorable, and non-aggressive appearance, made it look like a pitiful little thing that urgently needed to be comforted. Both of them were extremely moved. Even if they looked at other cats, its watery eyes would still appear in their minds.
The two of them looked at each other again, and from each other's eyes, they read each other's thoughts. How about … this one?
"How much is this Garfield?" They made up their minds and decided not to hesitate anymore.
Out of a sense of responsibility, Zhang Zian reminded them, "Garfield itself is not expensive, but there are fewer people who buy it because it is more troublesome to take care of it than other cats. As you have seen just now, it needs to clean its tear stains every day. Otherwise, if the hair under its eyes is in a long-term state, it may cause infection or inflammation. Other cats also need to clean their tear stains, but not as frequently. Many customers like Garfield very much, but they are all dissuaded because of this. If you can tolerate this shortcoming, you will find that Garfield has a lot of advantages. "
In the eyes of Zhou Jiena and Wang Yan, this shortcoming was not a problem that needed special attention. Both of them were very diligent girls who loved cleanliness. Otherwise, they would not have become good friends.
They noticed that just now, Wang Qian and Li Kun had cooperated to complete the cleaning of Garfield's eyes. One person had to hold Garfield and not let it move around, while the other had to do the cleaning. Otherwise, if it moved around, the cleaning work would become complicated and dangerous. This might be the main reason why other customers were dissuaded. Many cat owners were single. Where would they find someone to cooperate with them every day?
But this was not a problem for them.
