The more they listened to Zhang Zian's explanation, the more excited Zhou Jiena and Wang Yan became. They felt that Garfield was a cat tailor-made for them.
Generally speaking, single people were more suitable to raise cats than dogs, but Garfield was an exception. Because it needed the cooperation of others to clean its tear stains on a daily basis, this type of cat was more suitable for raising at home.
"Meow ~"
As if it had heard their discussion, the Garfield kitten let out a soft meow.
"Wow! This sound is so nice! I'm attracted to sounds! Come on, meow again? "Wang Yan said happily with an intoxicated look on her face.
Seeing that Zhang Zian did not object, she tried to stretch out her finger and scratch its chin.
Maybe it was comfortable from being scratched, as it really did meow softly again.
"This sound is so nice!" Zhou Jiena was also full of praises.
Garfield's meow was soft, low, and light, but when it reached people's ears, it was numbing to the bones, making people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze. People who were sensitive to music might not feel it, but people who were sensitive to sound would be able to distinguish Garfield's unique meow at once.
Zhang Zian gave a thumbs up. "Good hearing! Garfield is the cat breed with the best meow, second to none. They don't meow often, and even when they meow, their voice is very low, and they will never disturb people. "
The reason why Garfield was suitable for raising at home, in addition to the fact that it didn't meow often and that its meow didn't disturb people, was because its personality was extremely docile. It was probably the most docile type of cat, and it basically didn't bite or scratch people. Even when it was the most angry, it would only gently bite its owner's finger and purr a few times to express its protest. It was especially suitable for families with children. At the same time, because they were too docile, once they were lost outdoors, their ability to survive was almost zero.
Some pets, such as golden retrievers, were submissive to humans, but when faced with other cats and dogs, they would reveal the instincts of a hunting dog, displaying extremely strong aggression. They were even jokingly called "dog treasures."
In contrast, Garfield was not only docile to humans, but also friendly to other cats and dogs. It was a pacifist through and through.
Because Zhou Jiena and Wang Yan's current financial situation was not well-off, and they had just entered the workplace, time was tight. When they returned to the rental house, they might have to recharge their batteries. So, they decided to raise a cat together. But after a year or two, when they were no longer students and became mature beauties in the workplace, of course, they might raise another cat. After all, raising a cat was like opening a harem. They loved every cat they saw. At that time, they might have a headache about how the first cat would get along with the new cat. However, Garfield did not have this problem. They would not bully others, and they were happy to share their owner's love with other cats.
They exchanged glances again.
How about this?
Okay, I agree.
"We want this Garfield," Zhou Jiena said on behalf of the two of them.
"Okay, let's go to the cashier." Zhang Zian gestured for Lu Yi Yun to handle the rest.
"By the way, do you want related pet supplies?" He asked again, promoting, "Like a cat litter box, a food bowl, a water dispenser, and so on. Because Garfield is a flat-faced cat, they need a food bowl that can adjust the height, and a water dispenser that is suitable for them. These things can be bought online, right?"
Zhou Jiena went to the cashier to complete the formalities. Wang Yan, who was left behind, blushed slightly because Zhang Zian saw through their thoughts. They planned to buy pet supplies online to save some money.
Since he saw through them, Wang Yan said embarrassedly, "Then you can help us choose. We don't understand."
People who had never raised a flat-faced cat were likely to make mistakes when choosing a food bowl and a water dispenser. They bought utensils suitable for ordinary cats, but flat-faced cats needed special utensils. Otherwise, when eating and drinking, water and food would be stained all over their faces, increasing the burden on their owners.
Zhang Zian gladly accepted the order, picked out utensils suitable for flat-faced cats from the shelf, and put them on the cashier to settle the bill.
"Ah, I almost forgot one thing. Where you live, do you have a water purifier?" he asked.
"A water purifier … We plan to install one." Wang Yan was eager for him to change the topic, so she quickly responded.
Before, they were worried about whether they could become official employees of the company, so they did not dare to install a water purifier in their rented house. If they did not pass the internship period, they might have to find another job and change houses. Now that they had passed the internship period, they had settled down. They planned to work at the company for at least a year or two before considering the problem of job-hopping, so they would live in their existing house for at least a year or two. Appliances like the water purifier, which the landlord would not equip, would have to be prepared by themselves.
"That's good. Garfield's genes determine the risk of kidney stones or urinary tract stones. No matter what kind of stones they are, they will eventually damage the kidneys, so it is best for them to drink pure water, and it is best to let them drink as much water as possible and urinate as much as possible," Zhang Zian explained.
Domestic cats originated in the arid areas of the Middle East. Like fennec foxes, in order to save hard-won water, they would concentrate their urine and then excrete it. This was a very unhealthy habit, causing a great burden on the kidneys and easily forming stones. Therefore, all cats should drink more water, but unfortunately, cats were used to drinking water from their food.
"Oh, I got it. We will buy water for a few days, and then we will install a water purifier." Wang Yan suddenly understood.
In fact, a cat could not drink much water. It did not cost much to buy bottles of pure water every day, but since they planned to install a water purifier, it was just right.
In view of the fact that they were novice cat owners, and they wanted to raise a cat like Garfield, which required special care, when they were going through the formalities, Zhang Zian tried to remind them as much as possible.
"Also, our Binhai City is close to the sea, so the seafood is rich and the price is cheap, but it is best not to feed Garfield saltwater fish. If you want to feed fish, ordinary freshwater fish will do. Of course, the safest thing is chicken breast or finished cat food."
"Ah? Why? "
They were stunned. The concept of cats eating fish and dogs eating meat had been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the seafood in Binhai City was cheap and cheap. Saltwater fish was cheaper and more delicious than freshwater fish. Experts on TV and health guides on the Internet also encouraged people to eat more saltwater fish. If it were not for Zhang Zian's special reminder, they would definitely feed saltwater fish to the cat when they went back.
"It is still the problem of stones. Saltwater fish contains a lot of magnesium salts, which will lead to the formation and aggravation of stones. In addition, saltwater fish also contains a lot of thiaminases. If cats eat saltwater fish for a long time, it will lead to vitamin B deficiency and further cause cervical spondylosis, "he warned.
"Cats are not people. They will not change their taste just because they always eat chicken breast or the same kind of cat food. Don't apply human thinking to them. For cats, fresh cooked chicken breast and high-quality cat food are the safest and most reliable food. "
