Chapter 153 (2/2)
However, Mama Jiao knew he understood her, but she couldn't tell hilared at him as if to say 'I'm disappointed in you'
Zheng Tan w
as set on pretending to be dumb He did take peeks at Toffee out of curiosity Her ears were very small
Ms Mo put Toffee on the floor She rubbed against her leg then jumped back onto her lap
”Your cat is so lady-like” Mama Jiao smiled
Indeed, not every cat was like the four musketeers of the eastern quarters
Jiao Yuan and Youzi were sent back to their roo Papa Jiao could tell Ms Mo had so on her mind that she didn't want to say in front of children
Ms Mo liked cats but had always owned house cats Most of her forotten lost, or were stolen by cat traffickers and sold down south Last year, a friend gifted her Toffee She loved the cat Toffee didn't like leaving the house, which saved her a lot of trouble
Her neighbors and friends saw Toffee and all asked her for a kitten
Ms Mo liked cats, but she didn't know much about them She did knoever, that Scottish folds often had unhealthy kittens if they reproduced with other Scottish folds She decided to find a healthy uarantee the health of the kittens She had her eyes set on house cats
Her friends were very against her idea Rarely did people bred Scottish folds with house cats Most people used British Shorthairs or American Shorthairs The kittens would look better and sell for a higher price
Ma compared to Charcoal However, to her, her cat was the best He never caused trouble and even helped out with the kids She didn't like it that other people looked down on her cat
Papa Jiao stopped her before she could say anything He let Ms Mo continue
Zheng Tan was listening as well He didn't know much about Scottish Folds, expect that their ears folded and they were very expensive To many people, they were a precious breed
Ms Mo saw the look in Mama Jiao's eyes and hurried added she didn't need the kitten to look very pretty She just wanted them to be healthy She had made up her mind at the vet this afternoon
”People around me started to buy Scottish folds after they saw Toffee My sister was one of theot bored after two months so I took over her cat Her cat was feer than Toffee That cat wasn't so lucky and her tail couldn't bend like a normal cat I took her to Mr Guo's this afternoon for a checkup The results weren't good”
A vet told her that many Scottish folds were born with hereditary diseases Their tails were often short and stiff They often had other bone diseases as well and their joints eaker than other cats Many experience joint pains after a few years
”Toffee was very lucky that she's healthy so far I don't kno long her luck will last though I didn't know much about them before, but I aular checkups at the vet and I don't want her to have kittens until I'm sure she's ok”
”The vet told me that the breed is very special I shouldn't breed cats without the supervision of a specialist Toffee was very lucky and I need to protect her My sister's cat has to endure the pain of bone diseases Every step hurts”
”We all have cats and we all know that cats can endure pain without letting it show They hide their illnesses out of habit to protect the If I let Toffee have kittens, and the kittens are born with bone diseases, then II can't stand it”
Mama Jiao was quiet She didn't haveTan was her first pet and he was very trouble-free
How many people truly knew a cat's pain?
Even Zheng Tan didn't understand what other cats were experiencing He was slightly different after all
”I came here today to tell you this so you won't misunderstand,” Ms Mo explained ”I don't see house cats as inferior”
Mama Jiao shook her head and said she understood She asked about the other cat
Ms Mo chatted with Mama Jiao for a while then stood up to leave She had another cat at home that needed her care
So, Zheng Tan's first set-up date ended before he could do anything Ms Mo did tell Ma Tan over to her place to visit her cats Her cats disliked leaving the house, but she knew Zheng Tan went on strolls to their school
Papa Jiao did soht Zheng Tan sat on the desk and read with him
There were a lot of debates regarding this breed
Scottish folds had such a bad name because of the people who bred these cats simply for their commercial value
It took a lot of sacrifices to breed a true Scottish fold Zheng Tan didn't knohat happened to the failed 'products' They ht be dealt with in less hue the reality of the pet market He felt lucky he was a very healthy cat and wished that Toffee could remain healthy as well
