Jiang Feifei excitedly stared at the kittens in the delivery room, waiting to be fed. Most of them were learning to walk under the mother's gaze, or cuddling and playing together. Some of the better developed kittens had already begun to stumble and trot, although they were often brought back to the cat's nest by the mother after running a little too far.
Compared to the squinting eyes they had when they first opened their eyes, their eyes were now fully open. Their visual system was basically fully developed, and they could see this strange and novel world like an adult cat.
She had thought that the aquarium would be full of marine life and aquarium equipment. She didn't expect that the second floor would be separated into two delivery rooms, where two adult female Abyssinian cats lived with a group of kittens.
Zhang Zian was mixing cat food for the kittens, and from time to time, he explained the things that needed to be paid attention to. Jiang Feifei listened carefully.
"From today on, you have to add a certain amount of solid food to the kittens, and slowly increase the proportion to prepare them for a smooth weaning in a month," Zhang Zian explained.
Jiang Feifei nodded. "I understand."
Ever since she knew about the existence of this group of kittens, she took the initiative to take care of them, saving Lu Yi Yun from running back and forth several times a day, because they had to eat several meals a day.
"The color of their eyes seems to be different from the big cats?" She observed the adult female cats and kittens alternately and found this interesting phenomenon. Did they inherit the color of their eyes from their father?
Zhang Zian replied, "This is normal. All kittens have grayish-blue eyes. When they grow up, their eyes will slowly turn into their mother's amber color."
"So that's how it is. It's amazing!" Jiang Feifei suddenly understood. "In the past, the stray cats in our school would occasionally give birth to a litter of kittens, and they would wander around the campus. The cute girls in the school would always feed them, but I've never observed them so carefully … But now that I think about it, some of the food they fed seemed to be not suitable for cats. If only I had known at the time, I could have asked them not to feed them. "
She sighed softly. It was only after she came to work in the pet shop that she learned about the various taboos in the diet of cats and dogs.
Zhang Zian shook his head and comforted her. "Don't worry too much about it. After all, they don't understand that kind of knowledge. They're just doing it out of kindness. For stray animals, as long as the food is not poisonous, the first thing they need to do is to eat their fill. Next time you see a similar situation, you can tell them that if they don't know what to feed them, the safest way is to feed them cat food. Even the cheapest loose cat food is better than starving them. "
Jiang Feifei nodded, but then said regretfully, "It's a pity that I'm graduating soon. I won't be able to stay in school for long, and I always feel that after the semester starts, there are fewer stray cats on campus than before …"
"Are there fewer stray cats?" Zhang Zian asked casually.
"Well, in the past, when it was spring, there would be cats meowing outside the dormitory at night … You know." Jiang Feifei blushed a little. She smiled and waved her hand, trying to alleviate her embarrassment.
There was an artificially planted grove near the female dormitory at Binhai University. The trees were not dense, and many girls liked to read or exercise in the grove every morning. Because the girls liked to feed stray cats, the grove had also become a paradise for stray cats. They often stayed there.
However, every spring, there would often be conflicts among the girls. The reason was, of course, the stray cats that kept meowing in the grove every night.
The girls who lived on the lower floors could not bear the disturbance. The mournful meowing of the cats that resounded throughout the night had reached the point where it affected their sleep. Due to the lack of adequate sleep, their studies and lives during the day would be affected to varying degrees.
Of course, there would definitely be people who would say something sarcastic, such as, "If that's the case, you might as well rent a house and move out."
There were people who could not bear the disturbance and moved out to rent a house, but not everyone had the money to do so. Moreover, the convenience and safety of living on campus was incomparable to living outside of campus, especially for girls who were determined to take the postgraduate entrance exam. Living on campus was more convenient for them to occupy seats in the study room.
Therefore, these girls would often post notes in the grove and at the door of the dormitory, hoping that people would not feed stray cats. If they wanted to feed them, they could go somewhere else to feed them, so that they would not all be gathered nearby. The wording on the notes was gentle, some were tough, some were pitiful, and some simply scolded the people who fed stray cats as they wished …
If someone happened to be feeding cats in the grove, then the matter would be serious. Both sides had many supporters, and they would often quarrel. If it were not for the fact that they might be punished or even expelled by the school, there would definitely be people who would not care about their manners and fight.
Similar incidents would erupt in the spring, and then gradually die down in the other three seasons.
In the second year, the new generation would replace the old one. The old students would leave the school, and the new students would enter. It would be another cycle.
Jiang Feifei was on the neutral side among the girls.
She lived on a higher floor, and as long as the windows were closed in the spring night, the cats' cries did not affect her and her roommates much. In addition, she had good sleep quality, and fell asleep very quickly. Her roommates often joked that she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow, which gave her the right to be neutral.
On the one hand, she felt that stray cats were very pitiful, especially adult female cats with children. On the other hand, she also sympathized with the girls on the lower floors. Being unable to sleep every night would definitely affect their studies and lives, and it might even further affect their life path.
Fortunately, compared to cats and dogs, she liked the mysterious sea creatures more. She just thought that cats were cute, and she would not stop walking when she saw a cat. She would also not take the initiative to feed stray cats. She was also cautious and did not like to meddle in other people's business, so she had not had any conflicts with other girls in this regard.
In fact, most of the girls in the dormitory were on the fence like her. As long as things did not affect them, they would not participate in any side. At most, they would casually say a few words in private.
The strange thing was that after the semester started, the girls' dormitory did not have any conflicts or quarrels because of the feeding of stray cats. Of course, this was not because the girls did not like cats anymore, or because their qualities had suddenly improved. It was because the number of stray cats in the grove had decreased a lot. Although the remaining few would occasionally howl at night, they were still weak.
Under such circumstances, even if there were still people who insisted on feeding stray cats, the girls on the lower floors who were affected would turn a blind eye and pretend that they did not see anything …
