Looking for stray cats

he likes cats, but he doesn't keep them.

at least not now.

If you can't take care of yourself, don't keep a cat so that no cat will suffer.

But his bag always contains some snacks. If he meets stray cats, he will feed them something.

The formation of this habit has to start from high school.

One day, he was walking on his way home, holding a cartoon that he had just rented from a rented bookstore, and he was walking slowly. Because it is easy to be caught at home, you must read it before you get home.

He just looked down at the cartoon, and almost pretended to be full of it with a person coming on. He looked up and saw a flustered man with a black plastic bag in his hand. He vaguely felt that something was moving in that bag.

He watched the man walk into an alley and came out without the bag in his hand. He stood and watched the man go away, then put the cartoon in his schoolbag and walked to the alley. As soon as I approached, I heard a haggard cry.

"Meow ..."

He quickly went to open the bag and found a Xiaohua Mall in it. He looked sick and couldn't even move.

Was it abandoned because of illness?

I think I'm hungry or thirsty, he thinks. But I searched my body and schoolbag, but I couldn't find any food. He took the kitten out of the plastic bag, then found a discarded paper box nearby and put it in, and then ran to his home.

Mom and Dad haven't come home yet. He searched the refrigerator and couldn't find any snacks. No way, he rushed downstairs to the grocery store to buy two sausages, and then ran back to the alley. Thankfully, although the kitten is weak, it is still humming faintly.

So from then on, when he came home from school every day, he would take some food and water and feed the sick Xiaohua Mall when he passed by that small street. Or look at the cartoon while stroking its weak body. He even brought some materials from home to make a comfortable nest for the kitten.

The kitten can walk gradually. Every day, she waits at the alley mouth. When she sees him coming, she will meow and turn around excitedly. When he touches it, it will rub its head against his trouser legs.

And when he leaves, the kitten will reluctantly send him a way.

But he never wanted to take the kitten home, because he was afraid that his parents would not take the wild cat in.

A month has passed, and the kitten's body has completely recovered. On this day, the kitten tried to get into his arms and rubbed saliva on his chest.

He knows that the kitten wants him to take it home. But he put it back in the nest and ran away quickly.

The next day, the kitten disappeared. It didn't wait for him to come there. So is the third day and the fourth day. The nest has gradually lost the trace of kitten life. He knew that the kitten had gone, or returned to its original owner, or became a free stray cat.

Since then, he has developed the habit of feeding stray cats. I don't know if it's to replace missing and feeling guilty about kittens, but maybe it's just kittens that let him discover his feelings for cats.

Later, after his friend discovered this habit, he gave him a cat. This is the first time and the last time he has a cat.

At this time, he was already the HR of a foreign company, and rented an apartment with his salary. So don't worry about parents' stop.

This is a pure white Persian cat with golden and blue eyes. Because he thought it was beautiful and loved beauty, he named it "Meimei".

Meimei, a Persian cat, likes to go out to play, and sometimes she only comes home after eating and sleeping. After eating, I jumped out of the window to play again. However, he is also happy and worry-free, watching it eat and occasionally stroking it, which feels good compared with feeding a stray cat.

A stray cat of its own.

Meimei loves to be spoiled, but she is not very active. It is full of elegance and self-confidence in its gestures. When many friends come to his home, they will first ask: Is your home beautiful?

One day, Meimei disappeared. I haven't seen you all day. Didn't come back the next day.

On the third day, he finally couldn't stand the impatience and went out to look for it. It is raining outside, and the world outside the umbrella is hazy. He repeatedly circled in the place where it often appeared, looking for its figure. But he never called it by name, just walked and walked.

In the rainy night, he lost his head and even forgot what he was looking for.

"It doesn't matter what a stray cat looks for in this endless rain, having forgotten to light the last cigarette and follow the unstoppable footsteps."

Meimei didn't come back at last.

A cat is a self-respecting animal. They would rather wander than be left out in the cold.

He thinks maybe he is not good at taking care of cats.

So he returned to a life without cats.

But getting along with stray cats has become more frequent.

The parks and alleys near his home and the street corners of his workplace have all become places for him to meet and communicate with stray cats. There will be a lot of food and water in his bag. Whenever he goes to the residence of a stray cat, there will be many cats he knows coming, waiting for him to feed and touch him.

"This is yours, yours, don't rob it, there are many more." He smiled at them.

Most of these cats are abandoned. Abandoned cats always have hostility and doubts about his kindness at first, but they gradually find that he is harmless, so they get close to him.

Occasionally, some cats are very fond of him and will rub against him in a coquettish way. He is also very fond of some cats, and he will be angry when other cats grab its food. Then I will secretly open a small stove for it.

But he never takes the cat home to keep it. So let these cats appear and disappear, but they won't appear again.

All the cats he knew disappeared and never appeared again.

The most familiar figure in my memory is the sick Xiaohua Mall and Meimei.

Late at night, in a quiet room, he turned off the light and didn't know what to think.

This afternoon, he took a long-distance bus to work in other places. When he came back, he got on the bus late. He only saw an empty seat next to a small girl. Asked if anyone was here, and then sat down.

The girl is wearing a long sweater and pantyhose, with a shiny bracelet. She is very fashionable and her hair is black.

When the bus started, the passengers took out their props to kill time, and the girl next to them put headphones in her ears.

And he just looked at the back of the front seat, wait for a while lost in thought.

In front, open the window, it's too hot. The passenger at the back said to the girl around him. But the girl didn't respond when she listened to the headphones.

The person behind patted her on the shoulder impatiently, and the girl took off her earphone and turned around.

Open the window, you are deaf! The arrogant voice came from behind.

The girl angrily opened the window as wide as possible, and the wind roared in. The girl plugged the earphone and curled her legs against the back of the front seat.

The warm spring breeze diluted the perfume on the girl's body, which was not very high-grade, but sweet and delicious. The bumpy car made the passengers sleepy. He also leaned his head against the back of the front seat and dozed off.

When the car got on the expressway, the wind began to howl. His ears were filled with wind, so he sat up and looked at the window.

The girl next to her seems to be asleep, with her head resting on the edge of the window, her arms holding her curled legs, leaning against the backrest and pointing a thin back at him.

That little curved arc is like a curled-up cat.

The strong wind scattered her hair and danced wildly like a black flame. But the girl still curled up motionless, as if she were sleeping soundly.

He thought for a moment, then leaned over and turned down the window until the girl's head was resting. This action, let the little figure was covered in his body.

The girl woke up and saw him sitting back in his seat. The girl looked at him and he responded with a polite smile.

She cut her hair and closed the window.

thank you. The girl spoke softly, so quietly that he could hardly hear clearly.

The spring wind is very dry. The girl took out the mirror and looked at her chapped lips, put on some lipstick, and then went on rummaging through her bag, but as if she couldn't find it, she closed it and sighed.

He took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to the girl: Here, it's unopened.
