Chapter 43 (1/2)
By the tiotten home, the other layer of his fur was already wet Since he stayed too long in the snow, plus it had been snowing heavily when he went out, it would be a et wet
Luckily, the fur on him was quite dense; it could still keep him warm Nevertheless, every ti Tan couldn't help but tremble
Realizing that Zheng Tan carabbed the blow drier and dried Zheng Tan's fur
”With that thick layer of snow, there is no other cat to be seen in the courtyard Only our Charcoal went out,” Jiao Yuan said
”And Sahara”
Speak of the devil, a round of barks rang fro Tan could clearly identify that it was Sahara's howls, but this ti spirit it had from before
Jiao Tan giggled, i towards the building diagonally opposite Youzi carried a stool over, took her slippers off and stood on the stool to get a view outside the s
Zheng Tan was also curious, hopping onto the sill and looking toward the direction of the barking
The dog that was howling downstairs in the building diagonally opposite was indeed Sahara Meanwhile, acade stood on the second floor's balcony, leaning against the balcony railing and drinking from a bowl of kombu pork rib soup in his hands He licked his lips and s at the drooling dog downstairs, ”You ran Try to run again There is no serving of bone soup for you tonight!”
”Woof woof… Woof oof…” The yelps were interweaved hines Clearly, it had weakened, craving a bite of the bones upstairs but couldn't enter the door
Sahara knocked the great iron door at the gate with his paw, but he withdrew his paw after a single knock He remembered that this iron door could not be ets home
In the end, Sahara crouched before the gate The final ”woof” was replaced with level and oblique tones of whimpers from the nasal cavity After a fehines, he yawned and scratched his mouth
It wasn't until ten minutes later did its owner opened up the door and let hier would cause it to catch a cold
Upon entry, the sluggish Sahara suddenly regained its spirit Its bushy tails sith great enthusias
There were many other people atched the scene of bustle like Jiao Yuan and them Due to different directions that each household faced, some watched on from their own balcony, while so room s Sometimes, people even jeered, like just then somebody had called Sahara over to their house to chew on bones Turns out, Sahara did have so its butt, Sahara beca
Just as Jiao Yuan was about to co a cat and having a dog, he heard the sound of sneezing co from beside him
Zheng Tan snuffed his nose A ain
Jiao Yuan and Youzi stared at Zheng Tan After two consecutive sneezes, Jiao Yuan screamed at Maht have caught a cold!!”
”What? Cold?!” Ma over with her slippers
Zheng Tan also had a not-so-great feeling Could he really have caught a cold?
”Do you need to measure the body temperature?” Youzi asked
Taking the temperature?
Zheng Tan's thought wandered back to the sights he had seen in the pet center with pets having a thermometer stuck inserted inside them His body trembled Sht, the temperature better not be measured with a thermometer thrust up his anus
Ma about this kind of situations After thinking, she rang Mr Guo up
”Caught a cold? Did its conjunctiva bloodshot? Did the eyes tear up often or have a lot of eye discharge?” Mr Guo asked from the other end of the receiver
”Not really”
”How about dietary intake?”
”Don't know, it's not dinner time yet”
”You can measure the temperature, but if you measure it at ho teh That way is more convenient…”
Zheng Tan juht as he listened in to the conversation between Mama Jiao and Mr Guo on the phone He was relieved when he heard that he didn't have to take the temperature from the rectum
When Maave it a shake When she turned around, she found Zheng Tan already there lying on his side, tails tucked in tightly and a back leg lifted up
Mah Other people needed to conduct so the temperature on their cat to appease them Now that it was their cat's turn, words were spared; it had already posed for it
Zheng Tan's thoughts on this were that anything would work if it was not the analtemperature
However, this seemed to be indecent exposure… Who cares, it was not like he had never flashed it before Who could blame him now that he was a cat? There was no need to be unreasonable There were plenty of cats on the streets, wandering around with their parts exposed
Mama Jiao placed the ther point between Zheng Tan's back leg and abdo Tan maintained the same position for 5 minutes to take the temperature, only then did she take the thermometer out
”Thirty-nine degrees” Mah according to the explanation that Mr Jiao had given
Thisbody temperature would often cause the results to be lower than the actual tees for thisSince cats' norher than humans', the standards were also different
Maain and told him the results to the body temperature measurements
”Then there isn't ranules We will see e can do tomorrow” Mr Guo let out a breath from the other end He had some new year's advertisement that needed this cat's appearance in the future If otherwise, to only depend on those cats in the store would probably waste a lot of food
After getting Mr Guo's explanation, they were ranule Zheng Tan could drink it hie to feed him
Cats were no rival to hu Tan didn't want his current self to be half-dead
Dinner ti close attention to Zheng Tan eating Seeing that his appetite was as big as usual, the four around the table became much more content
His sickness was probably not very severe with that big of an appetite
During night ti Tan to sleep on the couch Even though there were no known cases of cats infecting humans with cold, but it was better to be safe than sorry The severe acute respiratory syndrome in 03' had made many people cautious
It was not that she disliked Zheng Tan or anything Ma Tan She had made a makeshi+ft bed on every patch of the surface on the couch that could be slept on Other than a furry poncho owned by Youzi, there was also a wooly ju Tan would feel cold
Zheng Tan himself didn't want to infect anyone else, so he would have to make the best out of the couch If the cold did becoood to infect others
Not long after lights went out and everyone went to rest, Youzi opened her rooo inside the room to sleep
Zheng Tan didn'tso If he really passed the cold onto Youzi, Zheng Tan would feel grievously sinful
Youzi called out a few ti but not prepared to leave the couch Youzi quietly walked over, placing a hand on Zheng Tan Ensuring that the cat under her hands was breathing strong and steadily, she went back to her room to sleep
Not long after Youzi left, Jiao Yuan did the sa
On the other side of the bedrooainst the door to listen to the noises in the living room
