Chapter 107: The Pain Of Not Having Whiskers

Zheng Tan stared at his reflection in theat hiles, he had to admit, all his whiskers had been burnt

His long, straight, flexible whiskers were all burnt and curly at the ends

Cats have whiskers on the side of their mouths, but also on top of their eyes, on their cheeks, and sometimes on their chins People don't always notice the other spots and would sometimes call them by other names

Right now, all of his long whiskers were burnt His 'eyebroere curly, his whiskers were curly, the hairs on his chin were curly They were all different degrees of curly too Zheng Tan wanted to break thehimself that the car was new

Ju Tan flattened his ears and walked straight past the family into the house

”I suppose Charcoal is depressed about his whiskers?” Mama Jiao asked

”Probably,” Papa Jiao agreed

Ma dinner

Youzi was deeply worried on her cat's behalf and only relaxed after Papa Jiao explained that Zheng Tan would grohiskers again soon

Zheng Tan kneould grohiskers but he was still in a very bad mood He jumped onto the table to check his reflection every once in a while Every time, the curly whiskers worsened his mood

So, Zheng Tan made a decision

After searching a few roo Tan finally found a pair of scissors in Grandma Jiao's drawer He pushed the scissors in front of Youzi, who had followed him

”You want me to cut your whiskers?” Youzi hesitated

Zheng Tan shoved the scissors toward her again to say ”just cut”

Youzi was still worried so she checked with Papa Jiao who told her it was OK to do so She picked up the scissors and started cutting She worked slowly and carefully, cutting off only the burnt bits

Because his whiskers were all burnt to a different degree, the hairs were all different lengths after the burnt bits were cut

Cats have nerves on their whiskers that allow thehtest of movements Apparently, cats could even tell the direction of the wind through their whiskers

Because she kne important whiskers were to cats, Youzi had treated her task with great care Jiao Yuan watched her whilst holding his breath He was so afraid that she would accidentally pull out a whisker if he made a sound

Papa Jiao wanted to say as long as she didn't harm the end of the whisker, how much she cut really didn't ues when he sa nervous the kids were and how upset the cat was

Both Youzi and Jiao Yuan let out a long breath after she was done

Youzi cleaned all the cut bits into a plastic bag and kept them in a box

Zheng Tan felt his whiskers, which were one

Fck! Being a hero had a price

He juain He felt cats were ly and creepy

”Don't worry, they'll grow back soon enough,” Youzi comforted him

Zheng Tan shook his tail Of course they would grow back, but how long would it take? Maybe teeks, er than that Papa Jiao said different cats grow fur and whiskers at different speeds

Grandpa Jiao ed to dampen his mood even futher when he came back

Knowing that it was because of the cat that they had found the baby so quickly, Grandpa Jiao bought a fish on his way hoot home, he saw the cat's whiskers were cut short and were of uneven length He was curious and forced Papa Jiao to tell him why

Papa Jiao told him it was because of the fire at the child trafficker's home

Grandpa Jiao felt so

rry for the cat at first, but shortly he started to laugh
