1034 Spare No Effort in Searching for Something (1/2)
Although the original Tom in Tom and Jerry actually was a Russian blue cat, many people did not think so. The reality was that whoever was loud, was reasonable, and whoever had the majority, had logic. Tragically, the number of people in favor of Russian blue cats was less than one percent compared to people in favor of British Shorthair cats. Especially compared to the domestic blue cat, fans of the British Shorthair dominated the world. Saying ”Tom's original form was a Russian blue cat” in a forum or on Tieba could cause one to be besieged by the people in favor of the British Shorthair, so nobody really wated to trouble themselves.
Zhang Zian was not afraid of catfights or of arguing in general. Anyway, he had a lot of time.
There were British Shorthairs in the shop. If one randomly compared a British Shorthair kitten to Vladimir, anyone could see which was more similar to Tom in the animated film.
”The pretentious shopkeeper successfully strikes again!”
”Although it's very logical, this information is really too boring…”
”Perhaps I can use this knowledge when my future children watch Tom and Jerry… But first I must find a girlfriend!”
”So that means that your children are still on your hand and paper?”
There were also netizens that asked curiously, ”Snowy, how could you tell? Why is it that I could not tell?”
Snowy smiled and said, ”When I was young, my dad and mom had me watch animated films so I could learn English. I rewatched Tom and Jerry many times. I didn't manage to learn English, but I practically memorized the whole show. When I saw this cat, I felt that it really looked like Tom. I just found out that it was a Russian blue.”
Hei Zi also recalled it and sighed. ”Actually, now that you say that, I've seen it before too… Right, what is that very strong dog on that show? That dog that always locks throats with Tom to save Jerry.”
”The American Bulldog. It is also a type of working dog,” Zhang Zian shrugged his shoulders and said meaningfully, ”Such is the Hollywood routine. It is always the United States that finally beats Russia and saves the world.”
Vladimir did not know what they were talking about. He clenched his fist instinctively and shouted, ”The stray cats all over the world unite to defeat the American Imperialists, paper tigers, and all running dogs!”
Zhang Zian was speechless.
”Then do you have American Bulldogs here? I think that dog is strong and brave. Can it be a guard dog?” Hei Zi looked around the store, trying to find the dog from the cartoon.
Zhang Zian shook his head. ”A bulldog is a shepherd dog. As a guard dog, it is not alert and flexible enough. I don't have any here, anyway.”
”Oh…” Hei Zi could not help but feel that it was a pity because, in his memory, the dog in the animated film was very great.
His gaze landed on Zhan Tian, and he hesitated for a moment. He said, ”This dog… Like Famous, it's a German Shepherd, right? Are you selling this dog?”
In the daytime when the shop was open, Zhan Tian always laid in front of the stairs dutifully to prevent customers from going up to the second floor. Sometimes customers threw empty bottles on the ground, and it would pick them up and throw them into their specific trash cans.
Hei Zi knew that Zhang Zian would definitely not sell Famous, and he did not know what kind of background Zhan Tian had. Based on its appearance, however, Zhan Tian was even bigger and scarier than Famous, and it looked very domineering. Its gaze had a certain alertness to it.
