1020 The Wandering Cat Journal 2 (1/2)
Vladimir was not sad because of its failure, and instead became more frustrated and brave. Following that, it opened its eyes wide and sought out the next target in the streets.
It seriously reflected on the failure just then and thought of the words that the girl had said, ”Preferably one with plenty of time, and not as poor as I am.”
It seemed to be quite logical.
It recalled the customers who went into pet stores, excluding the children who came with their parents, the fans of Famous, and those who obviously were just looking and did not buy. Most of the customers who actually paid for them had the same characteristics––they looked more relaxed economically and had were leisurely looking. They were not rushing back and forth. In other words, they had plenty of money and leisure.
It made up its mind and said confidently to the yellow and white kitten, ”Little devil! Cheer up! It will be all right next time!”
The yellow and white cat still had a face that showed it did not care.
Vladimir carefully observed the pedestrians that were walking around, then very quickly noticed a suitable target.
It was a very fat young man, about the same age as Zhang Zian. He was a little shorter than Zian, but more than twice his width.
In his left hand, the man was carrying a large plastic bag from a supermarket filled with puffed and instant foods. He had a large bottle of coke under his arm, which he took out to drink it after every few steps.
It was still cool at night, but he had on his short-sleeved t-shirt and knee-length shorts only. He wore a pair of flip-flops on his feet and a grey baseball cap on his head with the word 'platelet' on the front. It seemed that he had written it himself. The font was crooked and worse than Zhang Zian's.
What was the use of wearing a hat on a night between spring and summer? It neither provided shade nor protection from the cold.
Could it be… his name was ”Platelet?” And to prevent the trouble of having to introduce himself, he put his name on his head?
That was an acceptable explanation.
He walked very slowly; even the yellow and white kitten was faster than him. He looked down at his mobile phone and occasionally gave out a disgusting laugh.
Ge! He belched loudly and for a long time, then drank a large mouthful of coke. The young girl passing by him turned her head away with her nose covered.
Vladimir thought the person was strange, but it was in line with the ”rich and leisurely” standard. If he could raise himself to the point of being so fat, then a kitten should be no problem.
”Go! Now it's your turn! Imitate my movements just now and act cute in front of him. As soon as he's happy, he'll definitely bring you home.” It pushed the yellow and white kitten.
The yellow and white kitten was not very willing. After being urged a few times, it leisurely ran in front of ”Platelet,” then laid down on the ground and rolled around.
However, ”Platelet” was too concentrated on his phone, and did not notice the small cat under his feet. He was about to lift his flip-flop and step on the yellow and white kitten.
Vladimir had to decide whether to hit ”Platelet” with an iron fist or remove the yellow and white kitten from under his feet, but it finally chose the latter. If he was sent to the hospital, he would not be able to raise a cat.
It had a quick eye and claws. It grabbed the yellow and white kitten's neck in time and dragged it a few steps away from the man's flip-flop. It then said righteously and severely yelled, ”Stop!”
”Platelet” was skillfully sending bullet screens when he suddenly heard a cat sound. He put down his cell phone in surprise and saw two cats in front of him.
As Vladimir was close, it smelled the strong stench of sweat coming off of him, as if he hadn't bathed or changed his clothes for several days. It did not have time to pay attention to such details. What it had to do was show the yellow and white kitten to it.
It pushed the yellow and white kitten, urging it to begin its performance.
The yellow and white cat repeated its actions. Although its imitation was not perfect, Vladimir felt that it was still passable.
It totally thought that ”Platelet” would cry out, ”Wow! How lovely!” and then take the yellow and white kitten home in a logical way. Unexpectedly, he just glanced at it lightly, took a step aside, went on, took a big drink of Coke from his armpit, and sent a bullet screen on his mobile phone.
Vladimir was speechless.
What was going on?
Could it be that he did not like cats, or perhaps he did not like kittens that were too small?
Among the customers who entered pet stores and were willing to pay for their pets, quite a lot of them came for dogs. People generally preferred a dog's loyalty and high levels of interaction, and they preferred to spend time walking dogs every day.
Could it be that ”Platelet” was also a dog fan and did not have any feelings towards cats?
Vladimir felt that it was not good to force people to do what they did not want to do. If he did not like cats, there was no need to force him to take the yellow and white kitten home. Otherwise, the yellow and white kitten would also not be happy.
