Wang Qian and Li Kun saw Zhang Zian take out the cat food and immediately understood what he meant.
"Master, are we going to feed these stray cats?" Wang Qian confirmed.
"Yes, there are so many stray cats. I'm afraid the food nearby isn't enough for them to eat," Zhang Zian answered.
Wang Qian advised without hesitation, "But … the more we feed them, the more cats there will be, right? And if we feed them every day, cat food will cost a lot of money … "
All animals were lazy. If they could easily find food here, instead of risking being thrown bricks by naughty kids to go through the trash cans and garbage bags in the residential area, the stray cats would definitely choose the former. The result would be that more and more cats would gather here, and with the addition of mating and reproduction, the number of stray cats would increase explosively.
Of course, Zhang Zian had also considered this problem, but he couldn't think of any other way at the moment. The gathering of stray cats had already caused a certain amount of trouble for the surrounding residents. He had asked Lu Yi Yun about this, and she also said that there were people in her rented community who complained about the stray cats going through the trash cans and leaving trash everywhere.
If this continued, the surrounding residents would definitely be more disgusted, so it would be better for him to feed the stray cats and keep them in the green space so they wouldn't go around causing trouble.
"Don't think too much about it. Come and feed them twice a day, in the morning and at night. Let them form the habit of eating here," Zhang Zian ordered.
"Okay."
Since Zhang Zian had made up his mind, Wang Qian and Li Kun could only obey. Each of them carried a small bucket of cat food to the area where the stray cats gathered.
At first, when the stray cats saw people coming, they all ran away in fear, hiding in the grass and not daring to come close. After a while, they saw Wang Qian and Li Kun go back, and their natural curiosity made them return to their territory. They lowered their heads and smelled the cat food, then licked it and found that it seemed to be food.
When one stray cat started to eat, other stray cats followed suit. They even fought and fought with each other. There was obviously enough cat food, but they all wanted more for themselves.
For a while, the grass was full of chaos, and the sharp sounds of cats were endless.
Wang Qian and Li Kun were still a little worried that they would be scratched by stray cats and have to go to the epidemic prevention station to get vaccinated, so they put down the cat food and came back, standing on the side to watch.
Cats were not social animals, and they were destined to not get along well with each other. However, they would slowly form their own territory and sphere of influence, and then they would not quarrel so much.
Wang Qian and Li Kun saw the stray cats jumping out of the bushes one after another to fight for food. They had planned to count their numbers, but they soon got dizzy from counting, so they gave up.
There were a few brave stray cats. They might have been fed by people when they rummaged through the garbage in the residential area, so they weren't that afraid of people. Their stomachs weren't full, and they didn't want to fight with other cats for food. Perhaps they couldn't win, so they cautiously approached Zhang Zian and the others. They stopped a few meters away and stared at the box they had brought.
It licked its tongue and meowed adorably, lying on the ground and stretching its back.
These cats were old foxes who often dealt with humans. They knew what actions could please humans. As long as they made a slight gesture, the stupid humans would obediently offer their food with both hands.
However, the three of them were used to dealing with cats, so they were already immune to these cute actions. It was just like how it was difficult for a porn appraiser to get hard after reading countless porn films …
Zhang Zian took a small plastic food bowl and filled it with cat food. He sprinkled it in front of him, meaning: If you want to eat, come and eat.
There were a few cats, but there was only a small bowl of cat food.
At first, the cats showed disdain, as if they were full of moral integrity, but as soon as one cat approached the food bowl driven by its appetite, the other cats couldn't sit still and pushed each other to bury their heads in the food bowl.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Zian slowly approached from behind and suddenly picked up a cat. Before it could understand what was going on, he put it into the cat cage that Wang Qian opened, and Li Kun locked it.
Then, another one.
In a short while, the greedy cats were all put into cages, except for one clever and cunning cat that ran away.
They were very confused in the cage, not used to such a small environment.
"Master, why are you catching cats? Do you want to sell stray cats? "Li Kun asked in confusion.
Zhang Zian didn't have time to answer before he heard someone say at the entrance of the green space, "Hey? There's such an empty space here? I didn't know about it before. "
It was Sun Xiaomeng. As she walked in, she looked around curiously. She wasn't an old resident of the neighborhood. She opened the clinic on Zhonghua Road because there was Binhai University and several residential areas nearby. The rent and traffic could reach a better balance. In other words, she didn't have enough money.
"You're here?" Zhang Zian greeted her.
She nodded. "Why did you call me here? If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known that there was such a big green space here, but it's too desolate. I wouldn't dare to come at night. "
"Do you see these stray cats?" Zhang Zian raised his chin and gestured.
She didn't need him to remind her. There were a surprising number of stray cats here. In the grass, between the branches, under the benches … there were cats everywhere. Cats weren't social animals. Under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be so many cats in the same place.
"These cats … are they all yours?" She noticed the leftover cat food on the ground and naturally thought the wrong way.
"How is that possible?" Zhang Zian complained. "If I had so many cats, I would be broke! Let's not talk nonsense. I called you here to discuss with you about sterilizing these stray cats. "
"What?" Sun Xiaomeng thought she didn't hear him clearly. There were too many cats here. Just looking at them gave her a headache.
"I mean, there are so many stray cats here that it's practically a disaster. It's spring now, the breeding season. If this continues, by next spring, the number of stray cats here will more than double. So we have to do sterilization," Zhang Zian explained.
Sun Xiaomeng also knew the danger of the overflow of stray cats. It would bring a devastating blow to the city's ecosystem, and it would also bring trouble to the surrounding residents. But …
"Who will pay for the sterilization? You? "She pointed out the crux of the problem.
Zhang Zian said, "… Look at you. Talking about money is too vulgar."
Wang Qian and Li Kun understood and looked at each other. They knew that their master wanted to use his silver tongue to trick people again.
But Sun Xiaomeng didn't fall for it. She said straightforwardly, "If it's just one or two, no problem. It's a piece of cake. I definitely won't talk about money. But there are more than one or two hundred cats here. Do you want me to work myself to death and not pay?"
Zhang Zian shook his head. "I didn't ask you to do all of them in one go. Just do it in batches. A few today, and a few the day after tomorrow when you're free …"
"I don't have free time," Sun Xiaomeng interrupted. "Do you think I'm like you?"
She wasn't exaggerating. With the rise of the clinic's reputation, she had accumulated a lot of client resources. Basically, she had appointments from morning to night. If she agreed to Zhang Zian's request, she could only work overtime for free. After a tiring day, her legs were sore. Who wouldn't want to rest early?
"We can let Long Xian practice. Doesn't she want to open an independent veterinary clinic in the future?" Zhang Zian said.
Long Xian was currently working as a nurse in Sun Xiaomeng's clinic to accumulate experience and funds. But one day, her dream was to own a pet clinic of her own.
Sun Xiaomeng frowned and said awkwardly, "But she hasn't passed the veterinary qualification test yet …"
"It doesn't matter. Let her do it behind closed doors after work. No one will know. Besides, these cats are ownerless. Who will care?" Zhang Zian spread his hands.
Sun Xiaomeng looked around at the stray cats again. She had refused to do it before just to bargain, but she also knew that she couldn't let them continue to do what they wanted. Especially recently, she had come into contact with several cases of cats that had been injured by strangers. If the number of stray cats continued to increase, the situation might not be good.
As for letting Long Xian do the sterilization, it didn't matter, because sterilization was a very simple and small operation. There wouldn't be any accidents.
"Alright, let's do that." She sighed and reluctantly agreed.
"Don't always have a bitter face. You'll get wrinkles. In fact, the workload for you and Long Xian isn't that big. You just have to sterilize the female cats here." Zhang Zian comforted her with a laugh.
Sun Xiaomeng was stunned. "Why only sterilize the female cats?"
She really didn't understand. Even if they were sterilized, the difficulty of sterilizing male cats was obviously lower than the difficulty of sterilizing female cats. In theory, as long as all the male cats here were sterilized, the number of stray cats could be controlled. Of course, this was only in theory. In reality, there would always be new male cats coming here. So to be safe, it was better to sterilize all the male and female cats.
Zhang Zian chuckled and avoided the question. "You don't have to worry about that. Anyway, I'll be in charge of the male cats. You and Long Xian just have to do the female cats. Do you want to take care of everything? Then I won't object … "
"… Okay, then you can send the female cats that want to be sterilized to my clinic. Let me make it clear in advance that Long Xian and I only care about the surgery. We don't care about anything else. "Sun Xiaomeng shook her head. She didn't want to argue with him anymore. There were still customers waiting for her at the clinic.
"No problem." Zhang Zian agreed.
Wang Qian and Li Kun separated the males and females of the cats they had just caught. According to Zhang Zian, they would keep the males and send the females to Sun Xiaomeng's clinic.
After they left with Sun Xiaomeng, Zhang Zian leisurely found a bench and sat down. His eyes glanced at a white cat with strange hair and a black stripe on its forehead.
Snowy Lionet licked its paws, its eyes shining with excitement.
"Meow meow meow! My sharp claws have been hungry for a long time! "
It stared at his crotch. "Let's practice with their balls first!"
