After hearing Hans's exclamation, Li Du felt somewhat puzzled. ”Why is that?”
”This little cat is worth way more than two thousand dollars!” Hans excitedly explained. ”Don't tell me that you didn't know its breed beforehand.”
Li Du more or less understood what Hans was talking about. ”Do you mean that this is a very rare breed?”
”Of course. Do you not know what it is? Just look at its appearance, can't you tell?”
This time, Li Du closely examined Ah Meow. The most eye-catching detail about this cat was its two pearl-like round eyes that emanated a feeling of intelligence. It also had hair with patterns like that of a leopard, two black streaks across its face, and two pairs of long limbs and a tail.
At Hans's hint, he gasped, ”My God, don't tell me that this little one is a jaguar or a leopard!”
Hearing that, Hans rolled his eyes before shouting, ”Where have you seen jaguars or leopards this small!?! This is a cat, but it is an ocelot!”
”Oh, so it's still a cat.” Li Du meekly smiled. ”Then that's good, I was afraid that I had brought a leopard home.”
”We have no common language,” Hans sighed. ”Do you actually know how much these cats can sell for?”
Li Du shrugged. ”I don't know, but I don't care either. I plan on taking care of it until it's better and then returning it to the wild. No matter how precious it is, I'm not going to sell it.”
”You are planning on doing charity?!”
”Yeah, of course, this time.”
Hearing this, Hans went to the bank. When he came out, he stated, ”We don't have much to work with this time, so we need to plan ahead.”
”Didn't you go to the bank to withdraw money?” Li Du asked.
”No, I was transferring funds to a homeless shelter,” Hans shrugged.
”Like I would believe that,” Li Du smirked.
He had believed that he rescued a normal yellow cat, so on the way home, he went online to search for info on ocelots. It was only then that he found out that this breed was an extraordinary cat with the potential to grow over three feet long!
Could a three-feet long cat still be called a cat? Li Du felt that it should more accurately be described as a tiger.
As for the price, Li Du had a basic understanding of how exorbitant it could get, but he didn't search for a more precise price. He was worried that he would sell Ah Meow if he knew how much the cat was worth.
With its lower half locked in casts, and in an unfamiliar environment, Ah Meow became very alert. When they got to Li Du's bedroom, the cat immediately hid within the bed sheets, only its eyes visible to observe its surroundings.
”As long as you know the rules,” Li Du patted its head. ”If you are disobedient, I'll just give you to the zoo.”
Detecting the threat in Li Du's voice, Ah Meow immediately hid even further under the covers, not even daring to show its eyes.
Earlier at the hospital, Li Du noticed that the cat's stomach was somewhat deflated; probably due to thirst and hunger. He went to get it a piece of chicken breast and poured some water for the little guy.
As soon as the chicken breast appeared, Ah Meow immediately jumped out from the covers.
With wide eyes, it continued to stare at the piece of meat while swallowing its saliva. Seeing this, Li Du laughed as he placed the food in front of the cat.
Who would have predicted that the cat would then let out a ”meow” before directly slapping the chicken away? Ah Meow gave Li Du a look that said: ”I'd rather die than eat this lowly food.”
Li Du was not bothered. He simply walked away to browse for more information about public auctions.
