Regarding cat training, Zhang Zian made a few requests to Tim and Lauren.
First of all, no one was allowed to watch him train the cats, so he needed the Kellers to send him to the wild and then pick him up.
Second, it would take a few days to train the cats, and the exact length was not certain, so he asked the Kellers to be patient.
Tim and Lauren agreed readily.
This was Zhang Zian's intention to show off his Kung Fu, because he wanted to take their cats away alone. If he did not give them some assurance, they would not dare to agree. As a Qigong Master and Kung Fu Master, he would definitely not covet their cats.
After eating breakfast with Tim and Lauren, Zhang Zian followed them to the room where the kittens were. He did not let Fina follow them in case the kittens behaved too strangely. The couple had been surprised enough today, and they would be numb if they were more surprised.
Even so, the kittens still smelled Fina's scent from Zhang Zian, and behaved very respectfully and obediently to him. They even automatically gathered in front of him, waiting for his inspection.
Although Zhang Zian had seen these kittens in photos, seeing them in person and looking at them in photos were different. He squatted down and carefully observed them one by one. These kittens had short hair, and were not as beautiful as adult cats. They were like cute little furballs.
If they were adult cats, Richard would not dare to get too close, but when it saw that they were just kittens that had just been weaned, it boldly stood on Zhang Zian's shoulder and watched with him.
Tim pointed at the kittens and introduced them one by one. He told Zhang Zian which ones had been reserved by customers, which ones were reserved for competitions or as breeding cats, and the rest were up to Zhang Zian. Everyone knew what they were doing, so Tim spoke frankly and without reservation.
The most important feature of a Ragdoll was its blue eyes. No matter how much it looked like a Ragdoll, as long as its eyes were not blue, it was not a Ragdoll. Common Ragdoll cats were roughly divided into three types: key color, glove color, and bicolor.
Zhang Zian found that most of Tim's Ragdoll cats were the most popular two-color Ragdoll cats in China. A more rigorous official name was "two-color plus white." The key to distinguish them from the other two kinds of Ragdoll cats was the inverted V-shaped white spots on their faces. The faces of the other two kinds of Ragdoll cats were basically dark-colored, so they were less aesthetically pleasing than the two-color Ragdoll cats.
The key point of breeding a two-color doll was the control of the white spot gene. The more symmetrical the white spots on the whole body were, the more popular it would be with ordinary people. However, the CFA competition did not pay much attention to this point. The white spots on the face of the Ragdoll kitten left by Tim were not very symmetrical. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was far less beautiful than the other Ragdoll kittens. However, its bones, body shape, and facial structure were more symmetrical, which in the eyes of experts represented more stable genes, and the CFA Competition paid more attention to these.
However, Zhang Zian did not intend to participate in the CFA competition in China, so he felt that it did not matter. Even if he had to choose, he would not choose that one. He would rather choose the white and symmetrical doll that was more popular with consumers — the people loved it, and the experts were nothing!
The two-color doll was subdivided into seal two-color and blue two-color. The difference was that the former's color was slightly darker, while the latter was slightly lighter. The former looked more energetic, while the latter was more lovable. There were also two two-color dolls with bobcat patterns. It was as if they had lost a game of cards and had a few mustaches drawn on their faces, which added a touch of playfulness. Generally speaking, the price of a Ragdoll with bobcat patterns was slightly lower, and it was a good choice for people with a limited budget.
Zhang Zian inquired about the price, and Tim told him bluntly that the price of a pet-level Ragdoll was less than 1,000 US dollars, while the price of a better competition level was about 1,300 US dollars to 1,400 US dollars. The kitten that he specifically asked to keep belonged to a high competition level, and its price depended on how many championships it could win when it grew up.
Simply converting, even a competition level Ragdoll cost less than 10,000 RMB, while a similar level Ragdoll would cost at least 30,000 RMB in China, and he would have to wait in line. He did not ask Tim how much he planned to sell the dancing Ragdoll kittens for. Anyway, there was no shortage of rich people in China or the United States, and people would buy them no matter how high the price was.
Tim instructed Alan to move the pet air box and put all the kittens into the van that they usually used to transport goods. Alan was responsible for driving. Tim followed behind with Zhang Zian and Fina in the family station wagon. Lauren stayed at home and watched the two cars drive away one after the other.
Zhang Zian's request was very simple. He just wanted to find a deserted wilderness. After passing several similar places, he finally chose a small mound that the car could drive on, where he could see far away from the surroundings.
Alan and Tim moved the kittens down, as well as the barbecue grill, fuel, and chicken breasts in the ice bucket that Zhang Zian had specially requested. In addition, Zhang Zian also prepared camping tools such as tents, because he planned to spend the night here. Although Alan once again begged to stay and watch and promised to keep his mouth shut, Zhang Zian did not give him the chance.
Tim left the van and left with Alan in the family station wagon. Before leaving, he gave Zhang Zian a prepaid cell phone so that he could get in touch with the cattery when necessary.
After confirming that there was no one around, Zhang Zian released Xinghai, Old Time Tea, and Snowy Lionet into the open space.
"Meow!" Xinghai had a good rest in the pet bar in the game. As soon as it came out, it was full of energy and looked around curiously, "Zian, is this the United States?"
"Yes, although it looks similar to China, but..." Zhang Zian smiled mysteriously, "You will know in the evening."
Xinghai looked at him in confusion, but he did not intend to further explain, so he changed the topic, "It is very open here, and there is no one around. Xinghai can play hide-and-seek as much as she wants! Wait a minute, let me pack up, and then we can have a good time! "
"Meow!" Xinghai was eager to try, and kept looking around for a reliable hiding place.
Old Time Tea stretched its body and focused its eyes on Los Angeles at the end of the horizon. It was a sunny day, and the visibility was good. Old Time Tea's bamboo hat played a good role in blocking the sun, so its sight was not affected by the sunlight.
"Zian, is this the United States?" Old Time Tea asked.
Zhang Zian moved a camping chair over and asked Old Time Tea to sit on it. He replied, "Yes, Grandpa Tea, when I finish my work, let's go to the city together and broaden our horizons."
Old Time Tea nodded happily, "That's what I was thinking."
Snowy Lionet just came out of the game. Although it was a little dizzy, it still rushed to Fina. "Your Majesty! I missed you so much! This is a foreign country, and the cat is unfamiliar with the land. I urgently need you to comfort my wounded heart! "
Fina stretched out a cat paw lazily against its forehead to prevent it from jumping on it.
Snowy Lionet's front paws were much shorter than Fina's, so it could not get what it wanted.
Zhang Zian set up the tent according to the instructions, then set up the barbecue rack to cook the chicken breasts. He also boiled a pot of water to make tea for Old Time Tea. While he was working, he said to Fina, "Please take care of these kittens. The sooner you finish, the sooner we can go play. You also want to go to the big city to broaden your horizons, right?"
Fina squinted its eyes with a lack of interest, "Come on, I am not interested in big cities! The weather is good today. Quickly spread a blanket for me. I want to sleep in the sun. "
"Do you want me to apply sunscreen?" Zhang Zian couldn't help but ask.
"What?" Fina didn't understand.
"Nothing. I was just kidding." Zhang Zian swallowed his sarcasm in his heart. Did she think this was a beach?
Fina stared at him coldly, "I am warning you, don't make fun of me again and again, or else —"
"Castrate!" Snowy Lionet said, wanting to see the world in chaos.
Zhang Zian confidently pointed to Los Angeles and said, "Don't worry, there is a place there. You will not be disappointed when you go there! So, get to work! "
