Gao Zhuo complained incessantly about the serval at home.
One morning, after getting up, he poured a bowl of dog food in the kitchen. Usually, the Pomeranian would come to eat as soon as it smelled the food, but that day, the Pomeranian did not come until he finished his breakfast.
He looked around the villa for the Pomeranian, calling its name, but no matter how much he called, the Pomeranian did not respond.
He looked for it again and again. His house was big, had many rooms, and even had a basement. After searching for a total of ten minutes, he did not find the Pomeranian.
He was a little puzzled, thinking that the Pomeranian had slipped outside while he was not paying attention. But then he found another problem. The serval at home was also missing.
Since the serval began to bark and pee, for the sake of safety, he would tie it up at night. But when he found the cat room, he found that the nylon rope was broken, and the serval was missing.
He picked up the nylon rope and looked at it. The broken part was very rough. It did not look like it was cut by a sharp knife, but more like it was bitten.
The broken rope and the missing Pomeranian gave Gao Zhuo an ominous feeling. He ran outside and called the security guard in, and the two of them looked for it together.
When they found the rooftop, they found a string of dark red blood on the floor.
The security guard also felt that something was wrong and discussed with Gao Zhuo whether to call the police.
Just then, they heard a noise behind them. When they turned around, they found that the serval was coming over with the Pomeranian's body in its mouth, and it placed the dog's body at Gao Zhuo's feet as if it was showing off.
Gao Zhuo and the security guard were so scared that their legs almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the serval did not do anything drastic. After putting down the Pomeranian's body, it lay down quietly and yawned lazily. Its lips and teeth were still stained with blood.
This Pomeranian was raised by Gao Zhuo's mother for several years. Fortunately, she was not at home that day, and only Gao Zhuo was in the house. Otherwise, if she had seen this scene, she would have been scared to death.
After Gao Zhuo calmed down, he ordered the security guard to dispose of the Pomeranian's body. He must not tell his mother that the dog was lost. On the other hand, he quickly went to find an iron chain to tie the serval.
He was worried. What should he do with this serval? He didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly went to find a few of his buddies to discuss it. His good buddies were basically all from rich families, and all of their ideas were bad. Some said that they should just let the serval go, some said that they should just strangle the serval to death, and some said that it was normal for cats and dogs to fight, so there was no need to care, and that they could record it and post it on Weibo. Maybe it would go viral …
He couldn't just leave it alone. He had raised it so big that he couldn't bear to strangle it to death. Besides, who would strangle it? Releasing them was an option, but he hadn't decided where to put them yet.
Since he couldn't decide for the time being, he could only keep it like this for now. However, there was a new problem — wild animals had a strong body odor. In the past, this serval would take a bath every once in a while, but since this incident, no one dared to give it a bath, for fear that it would lose its temper and bite people.
Now the serval was chained in the house every day. Because it hadn't bathed for a long time, it smelled bad, and its temper was getting worse.
Speaking of this, Gao Zhuo said, "Store Manager Zhang, I heard that no matter how wild a cat is, as long as it comes to your shop, it will be as obedient as a large doll. Do you think you can give it a bath? It smells too bad … I have found several pet shops in Binhai City, and they all said no, they can't wash it. They all unanimously recommended your shop. "
Zhang Zian was speechless. I knew it must be like this. People of the same trade are enemies, and the ancients didn't lie!
This was not a recommendation, but a joke!
"You mean … you have brought the serval here?" he asked.
"Yes, of course I have. Just put it in my car. Wait a minute. " Gao Zhuo called Lin Qi, and the two of them trotted out of the shop. They carefully carried a large wooden box out of the trunk of the car.
As soon as the wooden box was shaken, a shrill meow came from the box.
The customers who were buying pets in the shop were shocked and looked at the wooden box with fear.
Not only the customers, but also the kittens in the shop were scared and hid in the corner. The sensitive Abyssinian cats jumped to the top of the container and looked down anxiously.
Fina, who was dozing off, sat up with a start. It was very familiar with this kind of meow. As early as two thousand years ago on the African continent, it had heard this kind of meow many times and knew that this was a very difficult opponent. All the hair on its body stood up. It pricked up its ears and stared at the wooden box with a stern look.
Wang Qian and Li Kun, who were sitting side by side playing mobile games, and Lu Yiyun, who was paying for the customers, were all scared by the scream. Especially the former two, whose hands trembled and made a mistake, were scolded by their teammates in the game. The latter was shaken and pressed an extra 0. Fortunately, she didn't press confirm.
Zhang Zian had just asked casually. He didn't expect Gao Zhuo to move so fast. Before he could stop him, Gao Zhuo had already moved the wooden box in.
The wooden box was about one meter long, half a meter wide, and half a meter high.
"Manager Zhang, the cat is inside. I was worried that it would be seen in public, so I got a box to put it in," Gao Zhuo said after taking a breath.
Zhang Zian thought to himself, "Fortunately, you have some common sense. Otherwise, some customers might have called the police."
The customers were very interested in the meowing of the cats in the wooden box. On the surface, they pretended to be buying pets, but in fact, they were curiously looking at the wooden box, secretly guessing what kind of cats were in the box … or felines.
Zhang Zian saw that there were too many people. If he opened the box here, it would be embarrassing if he met enthusiastic citizens who liked to call the police. He winked at Gao Zhuo and Lin Qi, asking them to carry the box to the shoe store next door.
He had seen pictures of servals before, but he had never seen a real one. He was very curious and planned to open his eyes first. After all, seeing was believing. As for how to bathe the serval, he would think about it after seeing it. Anyway, he didn't promise anything.
Gao Zhuo and Lin Qi looked at each other and felt it was unbelievable. Why did he take the serval to the shoe store? Was he going to make things difficult for it?
Xie Tao and the movers moved very fast. The shoe store was almost empty. Although the transfer procedures had not been completed, the key had been given to Zhang Zian.
"Come in." He unlocked the door and asked Lin Qi and Gao Zhuo to carry the box in.
On the first floor of the shoe store, there were only a few empty shelves and a lot of empty shoe boxes. There were cardboard balls used to cushion and shape the shoe boxes scattered on the floor, and the smell of shoe polish could be vaguely smelled.
"Manager Zhang, this store … is yours?" Lin Qi and Gao Zhuo put down the wooden box and looked around the messy room.
"Yes, I just bought it. I'm going to expand it," Zhang Zian answered truthfully.
"You should have done that earlier!" Lin Qi slapped his thigh. "Last time I came to your store to pick up the Ashera cat, I felt that your store was too small and not worthy of your identity as a cat trainer! This store looks a lot bigger than yours, but I think it should be bigger. A thousand square feet should be enough. "
"A thousand square feet? Are you going to open a supermarket? Are you going to pay for the missing money? "Zhang Zian said impatiently.
Lin Qi was from a rich family, but he was not generous enough to pay for someone else to buy a house. Hearing Zhang Zian's words, he smiled and said no more.
A few curious customers were outside the shoe store, trying to see what was going on. Zhang Zian was about to close the door when he saw Fina follow him out with a serious face.
Where Fina was, of course, there was Snowy Lionet. Snowy Lionet followed Fina with its short legs, meowing.
When they also entered the store, Zhang Zian closed and locked the door of the shoe store.
The French glass door of the shoe store was so dirty that nothing could be seen through the glass from the outside.
Gao Zhuo did not wait for Zhang Zian to speak. He had already opened the wooden box. It turned out that there was an iron cage in the wooden box, and an almost adult serval was standing in the cage anxiously.
The serval's body was pale yellow with irregular black spots. At first glance, it looked like a cheetah, but it was a few times smaller than a cheetah, and its tail was not as thick as a cheetah's. Its small face, which was disproportionate to its body, was tense, and it cast a scrutinizing look at Fina. A pair of signature big ears swayed vigilantly like a radar, pointing in the direction where Zhang Zian and Snowy Lionet were talking. There was a black area with white spots on the back of each ear, like two plasters.
The main reason why domestic cats were cute was that they had big faces and big eyes. However, serval's face was very small, about the size of a child's palm, and its eyes were not as round and charming as domestic cats'.
"Awoo!"
Fina's stare made it a little uncomfortable. It opened its big mouth and roared, showing its bright red tongue and sharp fangs. Compared to domestic cats, its voice was closer to that of a wild feline.
"Meow!"
Facing its old rival on the African continent, Fina also roared, not to be outdone. However, its volume was obviously not as loud as the serval, and it was naturally at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
Lin Qi was shocked, and said as if he was having a headache, "My god, its teeth are so sharp that it's scary …"
"Don't underestimate a serval. A serval's bite force is 17 kilograms, which is equivalent to half of a cheetah's, and its bite force is all concentrated in its canine teeth. It's not surprising that it can bite through thin nylon ropes. In contrast, although a human's bite force is 45 kilograms, that's the bite force of the posterior molar teeth. Calculated according to the pressure per unit area, it's far inferior to a serval, "Zhang Zian explained.
Lin Qi stuck out his tongue. "One bite and four bloody holes on the body. No wonder it can bite a Pomeranian to death."
Zhang Zian sneered. "Pomeranians are nothing. African wild servals can catch birds in trees, catch fish in the water, dig holes to catch mice, and even large and medium-sized mammals such as antelopes are on their menu."
"That's amazing!" Hearing that, Lin Qi looked at Gao Zhuo with admiration in his eyes. "You even dare to raise such a beast at home?"
Gao Zhuo shrugged helplessly. He could only say that it was scary to be uneducated.
