Chapter 600: Kneading

For business reasons, some cat cafes didn't feed their cats themselves and waited for the customers to do so for them. This gave the cats a better appetite and made the customers feel more satisfied. The cats in the snack bar were fed till they were about 80% full, and then ate the dried fish as snacks. They would stop eating after they were full. Zhang Zian was telling the girls the truth.

After having fun feeding the cats, it was also fun to start battles of intelligence against the smart and swift cats. The girls tried to lure the cats over with the dried fish and the cat toys, so they could hold them in the arms and play with them. But the cats always kept a safe distance, failing all of their attempts.

It was like playing with a claw crane. The girls stared at the cute dolls in the machine, trying to grab one by controlling the machine arm. When they almost succeed, the dolls fell back down. Unwilling to give up, they put in another coin and tried again until they won. Many girls ended up putting in a lot of money into the machine. Or at least their boyfriend's money.

After a quarter or so, the girls had barely touched their food. They spent the entire time playing with the cats.

Zhang Zian observed them carefully. He wasn't mesmerized by their beauty, but was only seeing if anyone was reacting unusually. Ever since Snowy and Vivi came in and did a live broadcast, he always paid special attention to customers with pet allergies, and also told Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Lu Yiyun to do the same.

He waved at Uncle Li, and they both headed into the kitchen. Fina and Snowy Lionet followed them.

”Uncle Li, you should make a sign and hang it by the entrance, where everybody can see. The sign should warn people who are allergic to cats to be careful, and to enter at their own risk,” he said.

It was normal to find cats in a pet shop, but not in a restaurant. If a customer allergic to cats didn't notice the name and walked in without thinking, they could end up having severe allergic reactions. It would be a lot of trouble. They could get sued.

Uncle Li always followed reasonable advice, and nodded in return.

Some people liked cats and some didn't. Even some cat lovers might not like watching others play with cats while they were eating. Some customers might think it wasn't sanitary to keep cats in a restaurant. Deciding to be a cat fancier's restaurant meant saying goodbye to customers who weren't fond of cats. Zhang Zian explained this clearly to Uncle Li. iIt was impossible to make everybody happy at the same time.

While they were talking, Fina and Snowy Lionet were checking out the kitchen.

In the kitchen, there were a lot of shiny stainless steel appliances, stoves, fans, and utensils, all catching Fina's attention. It jumped onto the counter, and saw dough inside a stainless steel pot, giving off the sour smell of yeast.

Snowy Lionet also tried to jump up, but failed horribly. It couldn't jump half the height of a table with its poor motor skills. It tried to climb up the table legs by using its four short legs, but still couldn't do it.

Aunt Li collected the customer's dishes and headed back to the kitchen. She saw Fina curiously snooping around the rising dough, and noticed that its nose was almost touching it. Afraid of the dough getting ruined and delaying the food service to the customers, she wanted to take the dough pot away from it.

Fina lifted a paw and hit the dough, staring back at her unhappily.
