Fina yawned, jumped out of the car, and glanced at Zhang Zian indifferently, as if to say, "Why did you call me out?"
Tim's old friends had sharp eyes. They had been running catteries for several years to more than ten years, and they were much better at judging cats than Zhang Zian. At the first sight of Fina, they recognized that it was a rare Egyptian cat from the color of its eyes, its face, and its posture, but according to the standards of the CFA, it should not be a purebred.
What surprised them was that this Egyptian cat was quite unruly, and its eyes were extremely sharp. From beginning to end, it gave off a sense of warning that strangers should not approach it. The cats that participated in the CFA competition were specially selected. Not only did they have to look good, but more importantly, they had to be docile. They were so docile that even if strangers, such as referees, picked them up and pinched them, they would not resist, let alone scratch them with their claws. Otherwise, no matter how good they looked, they would be disqualified.
This Egyptian Mau was obviously not one to be touched casually. Its eyes clearly told them that they wanted to touch it? Give it a try, I dare you!
If this was the case, not to mention the championship competition, even if it was a competition for house cats, it would not be able to win. Because even in the competition for house cats, there were referees who would touch and pinch it, tease it with cat teasers, and check whether it was healthy and docile.
They watched Fina, while Zhang Zian watched the other contestants passing by. The contestants were all carrying cat cages with all kinds of cats in them. Most of them were purebred cats with noble bloodlines, and occasionally there were mixed-breed cats participating in the competition for house cats. As Tim's old friends expected, all the contestants were very docile, quietly lying in the cat cages, so the fear they showed when they saw Fina was not noticed by their owners.
There was no wind when Zhang Zian performed the breathing exercise on the lawn in front of Tim's house, and there was still no wind now, so Fina's smell could not spread far. Only the contestants passing by were affected.
Simon, Vincent, Jack, and Carl looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. This cat had a serious personality problem, and they were afraid that it would not even be able to win the championship for house cats.
Just as they were about to subtly remind Zhang Zian, they heard the stadium broadcast, reminding the contestants to hurry up and enter the stadium. The game was about to begin. They were all aiming for the championship titles of various cat breeds in the tournament. They were not as relaxed as Zhang Zian. Their cats had already been brought into the venue by their families or assistants in advance, but when the competition started, they still had to be present in person, so that their own cats would be more at ease.
"We're about to enter. Jeff, nice to meet you. Say hello to Tim and Lauren for us. Tell them we'll be there on time for their Thanksgiving party, "they said to Zhang Zian, shaking his hand again and patting his shoulder warmly.
"Okay, I'll tell them," Richard said.
"You should also enter the venue as soon as possible. Although the requirements for the competition of house cats are not strict, you still have to sign up," they reminded him before entering the venue.
"How about this? You guys go first, I'll accompany him to sign up." Vincent stayed behind because of his friendship with Tim.
"You should be more nimble! If you can't get the championship this time, you better not use this as an excuse! "The other three joked.
"F * ck off!" Vincent laughed and scolded them.
With Vincent's help, Zhang Zian and Fina easily settled the registration related matters. Vincent led him to the booth and left. Jane and the photographer were not stopped. They entered the venue smoothly and followed Zhang Zian all the way.
Zhang Zian sat in the booth, curiously looking at the situation in the venue. Fina was also very curious. Since it was summoned from the long river of history, it had never seen so many cats.
"What? Why is my cat acting strange? "
Zhang Zian heard someone talking next to him. He turned around and saw an old white lady with a kind face. She was wearing reading glasses and had curly silver hair. She was dressed in simple clothes and had a cane in her hand. She stared at the cat she brought with her in confusion.
When he saw her cat, Zhang Zian was also stunned, because he had never seen such a cat.
Growing up in a pet shop, Zhang Zian thought he had seen a lot of cats. Except for extremely rare cats like the Egyptian Mau, he had seen most cats, but obviously the cat in front of him was an exception.
This was a slender and elegant cat with a delicate wedge-shaped face, towering triangular ears, and charming almond-shaped eyes that were slightly upturned. For a slim body, its muscles were quite strong, its limbs were slender, and its tail was long and powerful.
In terms of body shape alone, it was 60% or 70% similar to Fina, and it was also very similar to the Holy Cat statue in Zhang Zian's shop.
However, its eyes were amber, and except for the white chin, its whole body was covered with chocolate short hair, and there was an M-shaped pattern on its forehead. These prominent characteristics distinguished it from the Egyptian Mau.
It looked at Fina in horror, and its body was tightly lying on the booth, not daring to move.
Fina also noticed it, because it felt that it was somewhat similar to her, not only in appearance, but also in demeanor and temperament, as well as some kind of indescribable smell. Fina looked at it with interest.
Zhang Zian coughed, put his fist in front of his mouth, and whispered to Richard, "Ask what's going on."
"Hi! Do you need help? "Richard raised his voice due to the noise in the venue.
The old white lady's hearing was a bit poor, and she only realized that he was talking to her after Richard asked for the second time.
"Hi! Hello, young man, "she greeted him in a friendly manner.
"Call me Jeff. I noticed that you seem to be in trouble. Do you need help? "Richard said.
She reached out her wrinkled hand shakily, "Oh, that's so nice of you! My name is Catherine, and you can call me Cathy. "
Zhang Zian stood up, leaned over, and shook her hand.
"Cathy, what's wrong with your cat? What's the problem? "Richard asked.
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on either …" Cathy stroked her cat in confusion, "My Wendy has always been a very lively kitten, and very naughty. I need to hold it down hard to prevent it from running away from the booth … I don't know why, but it has been like this since just now, lying there motionless. I'm worried that it suddenly got sick … but I just took its temperature in the morning, and everything is normal … "
Zhang Zian understood what was going on. Her cat was not sick, and it was purely because it was scared to see Fina. He walked over confidently, "Can I see it?"
"Of course, please." Cathy gestured, wondering if this black-haired young man was a veterinarian. That would be great.
Zhang Zian picked up Wendy, observed it from another angle, and then winked at Fina, meaning not to scare it. Look at how scared it was! It was scared to the point of peeing!
Not only Wendy, but the cats in the other booths nearby also showed different degrees of abnormalities, which confused the owners. They whispered to each other to discuss countermeasures, looking very anxious. This was the booth for house cats. Most of the people who brought cats here were ordinary cat lovers, not professional breeders, so they were helpless in the face of this kind of abnormality. Wendy was the closest to it, so it was the most seriously affected.
Fina glanced at him with disdain, meaning to say, what else can you do besides being pretentious in front of the elderly and children?
Zhang Zian said, "Beating Nanshan Nursing Home and Beihai Kindergarten has always been my ultimate ideal and life goal."
Nevertheless, Fina still released some kind of signal, and hummed softly at a frequency that human ears could not hear.
Wendy and the nearby cats felt as if they had been granted amnesty.
Zhang Zian could feel that its tight muscles suddenly relaxed.
He put it back on the booth, and it was no longer lying down. It returned to its standing position, but still bowed its head respectfully to Fina.
