Cats, ranging from tigers and lions to manuls and lynxes, had always been the top carnivores on land. Even domestic cats, which had been sucked dry by countless people, were the same.
Stray cats that bred without order were often called ecological disasters because they would hunt all the small animals they could prey on indiscriminately, even if they were not hungry.
Cats raised at home would also bring small gifts such as dead mice, dead cockroaches, and dead geckos to their owners.
It was not uncommon for cats in a free-range state to catch butterflies if they were bored, but generally speaking, butterflies, which had little meat and could be poisonous, were not in their hunting options.
Butterflies were usually not poisonous, but if the plant liquid they sucked was poisonous, they would also be contaminated with the corresponding toxicity.
When the black-and-white kitten suddenly rushed over, Zhang Zian thought that the target was himself, but when he looked closely, he found that its target was the butterflies.
To be honest, those butterflies were very beautiful, and the scales on their wings were colorful in the sun. It would be a pity if they were killed. After all, everyone loved beauty. This was a world that valued appearance. If they were ugly moths, then he probably would not think so.
The butterflies sensed the arrival of their natural enemies, and suddenly flapped their wings and scattered. Some flew around the trees, some flew into the stems and leaves of plants to hide, and some flew higher. Anyway, none of them stayed to wait for death.
People who had caught butterflies with their own hands had experienced it. Butterflies seemed to fly slowly, but it was not as easy as they thought to catch them. Because their wings were too big, they could not be caught if they were too slow, and if they were too fast, the wind from their hands could blow the butterflies away. Of course, catching butterflies with insect nets did not count.
These butterflies were different colors, and they seemed to be different species.
Generally speaking, butterflies with black, gray, and brown wings tended to be smaller, faster, and more flexible, because they had no other means of survival.
If it was butterflies with brightly colored wings that could be seen at a glance from a distance, they often used complex colors to confuse the enemy, and even disguised a pair of fierce big eyes on their wings to intimidate the enemy … Although this method was not very useful to humans, after all, humans did not include butterflies in their diet, it was still very useful to birds or other creatures.
Their flight paths were irregular, sometimes up and sometimes down, sometimes left and sometimes right. They used this method to distract the enemy's attention, causing them to be dazzled and not know which one to catch.
The black-and-white kitten did not seem to be affected much. After rushing into the group of butterflies, it suddenly waved its claws, and like Li Yuanba, it first swung its right paw to slap the slowest butterfly to the ground, then pressed its left paw down, and pressed the slowest butterfly into the grass. Finally, it flicked its tail, and another butterfly that tried to hide behind it spun several times in the air. Its movements were very skilled, as if it had done this often.
If it wasn't for the limitation of its size, it would be a little tiger.
Seeing that the enemy was coming aggressively, the butterflies immediately changed their strategy and flew higher, intending to temporarily avoid the attack. Even if you are a powerful kitten, you don't have wings, right?
Unexpectedly, the kitten also knew how to make reasonable use of the terrain. It jumped up a small tree, climbed halfway to the roof next to it, ran faster, and jumped into the air at the edge of the roof. It stretched out its body and stretched out its claws, accurately grasping a butterfly, and then rolled forward into the grass.
When it emerged again, there were still a few blades of grass on its head.
"Amazing!"
Zhang Zian found it interesting, and it could even be said that it was an eye-opener. He had never seen a cat so good at catching butterflies.
The kitten shook its head, shook off the blades of grass, and suddenly rushed to the side without warning. Before, there was a dead leaf butterfly disguised as a dead leaf. No matter how the other butterflies made a fuss, it did not move. Even Zhang Zian did not recognize it. Unexpectedly, it was still discovered by the kitten.
The dead leaf butterfly was pressed between the bottom of its claws and the grass.
Zhang Zian did not know whether it was hungry and wanted to eat the butterfly or just simply catching it for fun. If it was the former, it would definitely put the butterfly into its mouth; if it was the latter, it should release the butterfly.
In fact, cats were not suitable to eat butterflies. It might cause diarrhea, so he wanted to stop it from putting the butterfly in its mouth.
However, it raised its claws, and it seemed to be the latter option.
Zhang Zian was shocked to see an incredible scene. After it removed its claws, there were no struggling butterflies under its claws, nor were there any crushed corpses. Instead, a little light floated up from the bottom of its claws, like the light of fireflies in the night. Then, it slowly faded into the air and eventually disappeared.
He rubbed his eyes.
What the hell!
"Just now … What happened? Did my eyes go blurry? "
"Meow!"
The kitten went to chase other butterflies without stopping.
Zhang Zian walked to the place where the dead leaf butterfly was and used the tip of his shoes to search the grass a few times. He really did not find the body. Of course, it could also be that the body was stuck to the meat pad of the cat's claws, and the light he saw could be … the reflection of the window glass of the surrounding houses.
In fact, there was another possibility, which was that his cognitive ability really had a problem.
The butterflies did not have the ability to resist, and they were all driven away from the green space by the kitten.
Only then did the kitten trot back and roll on the lawn contentedly.
"Just now … How did you …"
Zhang Zian just wanted to ask, but his vision suddenly seemed to tremble. The world briefly appeared to have a double image, but soon returned to normal.
At the same time, there seemed to be something deep in his heart that was trying to get out of the cracks in the rock. Before this, the rock was perfect, but now there were slight cracks, and the power that suppressed it had loosened.
"Did I miss something?" He tried to think, and he sorted out his thoughts by muttering to himself. "In the Teahouse in Hidden Fog and the library … Should I go back and take a look?"
"Meow!"
The kitten shook its head.
Zhang Zian was stunned again. "You were just shaking your head?"
Was it a coincidence?
It was just a kitten. How could it understand and respond to his words? Besides, that was before it appeared, so it could not have known.
"Can you understand me?" he tried to ask again.
"Meow!" It nodded.
It actually nodded again …
In order to confirm that it was not a coincidence and to avoid misunderstandings, he said, "If you can understand, raise your right front paw …"
As soon as the words came out, he was dumbfounded. How could the kitten tell left from right?
As a result, it really raised its right front paw.
Zhang Zian pinched his face. It hurt. It seemed that he was not dreaming — the kitten could really understand his words.
