In the corner of the studio, where there used to be equipment, was a pen Inside were five, furry, little kittens Three of which had the clear s of a tabby The other two kittens were black and white Mr Guo mentioned that these kittens were part Siberian cat, so their fur was slightly longer than your average cat

Next to the pen was a cat tree, on it lay an Aether and it atching the five kittens below

The naed to the store and was na of the canned cat food was of him

The reason why he was used came down to the superiorities of the breed Aer than other cats The looked well built, unlike house cats which were often skinnier Just on looks alone, it tru Tan Many cat food brands used A

However, Zheng Tan was much smarter than that cat This was an unfair coht about hience with a cat

The other reason why Zheng Tan didn'twas because he was black cat Not everyone liked black cats Some were still wary of them due to superstitious reasons

So, looks were i his looks, he didn't plan to dye his fur

At theat the five kittens His paw flexed froer to jump in, but was not sure if he should

”Everything still the same?” Mr Guo asked the employees present

”Yes Whenever Prince went in, the kittens treated him as their arch enemy The other cats were treated the same Both the male and females Boss, didn't you say Charcoal was ill-tempered You sure he wouldn't bite the kittens?” One employee asked

Zheng Tan, as half-way up a cat tree, heard his words He looked over at Mr Guo

How dare you bad mouth me! Who said I was ill-tempered? Hoas I ill-tempered?

As he thought angrily, Zheng Tan scratched the cat tree so hard that the inner fillings were showing Prince saw this and inched in the opposite direction

Looking at the scratch marks on the cat tree, Mr Guo had a ive it a try He told all the e to bite the kittens, they would rush in to save them

Zheng Tan squatted on the cat tree and looked down at the five kittens At six weeks old, they were already showing curiosity They used everything to sharpen their teeth Everything was a toy to the, they played with their tails or paws Zheng Tan saw this behavior as slightly schizophrenic

Zheng Tan really wished he didn't have to go in to play with the little nuts However, he was already here, so he at least had to pretend to work

After so Tan took a deep breath and jumped in

The five kittens were deeply alar Tan Two of them immediately jumped and the fur on their backs stood up on end They eyed Zheng Tan suspiciously

Outside the pen, Mr Guo and his en that the black cat was going to bite Mr Guo had promised the owner of the kittens that they would be returned safely when he borrowed them

Zheng Tan stayed still after he entered the pen He knew that everyone atching him, so he had to keep his claws and teeth hidden So he decided to do nothing and stood still He planned to wait until the kittens passed their instinctive stage of alarm

To everyone's surprise, the largest kitten of the bunch see Tan At first, it inched slowly, then it picked up the pace, its tail held high

Zheng Tan looked at the little tabby co over He didn't kno to react It was so small He could slap it away easily

The tabby ca Then patted hi with Zheng Tan's paw

Zheng Tan shook his whiskers Hoanted to slap away the little thing

Soon all the other kittens followed suit Some played with his paws, others played with his tail

Zheng Tan felt he had to do so So he pulled away his tail and walked away The five kittens followed behind hiht up and tried to grab Zheng Tan's tail

Zheng Tan was losing patience and wanted to get away from the kittens However, when he started to walk faster, the kittens startedinhumane

So the following scene took place: A black cat traced the side of a pen and walked in circles Behind it followed five kittens, which meohenever they couldn't keep up The black cat would stop and wait, and they would quickly catch up

”So are they judging cats by appearance?” An e with the kittens, but black cat was apparently different

”Appearance?” Mr Guo pointed at the cat walking in circles ”Who do you think is cuter? Our cats or that one?”

The employee fell silent

Another employee then asked: ”Why didn't the kittens reject Charcoal?”

”…Who knohat cats are thinking” This was all Mr Guo came up with
