âDonât be afraid. Itâll be over soon. It wonât hurt.â Shen Yu pacified it with mild and affectionate words. Seeing how gentle this handsome man was treating his house pet, the nurses were all captivated by him.
âMr. Shen, it might have stayed in the cage for too long. We have a playground here, so you can let it out to play for a bit. After all, itâs only a few minutes past nine now and Doctor Zhu has yet to come to work. When your cat is more relaxed, we will then perform a pre-operative assessment on it.â
The cat cage door was opened. A pair of womanâs hands carried Xu Mao Mao out from the cat cage.
What entered his sight was a lady wearing a pink uniform. She was obviously a staff member of this pet hospital. While carrying Xu Mao Mao, she praised, âMr. Shen, you really raised your cat well, itâs well-fed.â
In the end, Xu Mao Mao reached out and ruthlessly scratched her hands!
âAh!â
Although itâs late autumn now, she only wore a short sleeved uniform as the central heating system inside the hospital was operating well. Therefore, the scratch gave her a bloody wound.
Shen Yu was shocked and hurriedly reached out to try to pacify Oscar who was ineffably agitated. However, he did not expect Oscar, who was always meek, to suddenly go crazy and ruthlessly bite Shen Yuâs extended palm without any mercy.
It bit with great strength until its sharp teeth sunk deep into his flesh.
Shen Yu instinctively let go of his hand due to the pain. Deep bite marks on his knuckles were shedding blood.
The nurses screamed. Usually, ragdoll cats are very docile and rarely attack their owners. Thus, they had temporarily lowered their guard. Xu Mao Mao took advantage of everyoneâs slow response and quickly jumped down and rushed to the entrance.
At that moment, the door was closed. Therefore, they werenât worried about the cat running out. Instead, they were more concerned about the clientâs ghastly wound on his hand.
But who knew the door would be opened from outside at the next second. It was Doctor Zhu who just came to work.
Xu Mao Mao was delighted and immediately dashed over there..
Doctor Zhu had a smile on his face. When he was about to greet the female colleagues in the pet hospital, he just saw a burly ragdoll cat dashing towards his direction. He quickly reacted and bent down immediately, preparing to catch the kitty while carrying the document bag under his arm.
However, for some reason, the cat had great strength.. Its speed was even more astonishing as it streaked over his palm like a missile, leaving him a handful of cat fur.
The cat had already rushed out from the hospitalâs entrance the next second.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yu was shocked and shouted, âOscar!â
Xu Mao Mao turned back and took a glance at him but he still dashed out of the place before everyone surrounded him. Shen Yuâs pupil shrunk. He couldnât bother to care about his bleeding hand and hurriedly rushed out of the warm hospital, just to see Oscarâs silhouette disappearing into the green bushes by the roadside.
Shen Yu chased over and used his bloody hands to push aside the bushes. It could be seen escaping in an agile and impatient manner, and shuttling with irresolute force among the dense bushes. Although Shen Yu had chased it for a very long time, he was completely shaken off after Oscar leaped over a few buildings.
Xu Mao Mao didnât dare to stop. After running for a long time until he didnât have any strength left, he only dared to turn around to take a look. He then realised that he had already ran to a small, unknown alley.
His heart was beating rapidly. He was also panting like a dog with his mouth wide open. After his panting subsided, he suddenly realised that his strength, speed and also the endurance that he showed a moment ago wasnât something that could be done by a cat. He then recalled the high-grade canned food that he ate yesterday.
He looked around and ate two mouthfuls of meat secretly after confirming that Shen Yu and the others didnât catch up with him .
It was probably due to its increase in quantity that he felt a warm and an upsurge in strength. He also noticed that his body became fat.
So, it was because of the effect of this canned food. It seemed that Shen Yu didnât bring him here on a whim today but it was rather a decision made based on his physical health.
Xu Mao Mao felt dejected but thereâs no use crying over spilt milk. Besides, it wasnât good for his health if he went on a diet continuously, so he might as well take advantage of his escape this time to find a way to change back into his body.
He didnât dare to stay here for a long time because he wasnât familiar with this place. It would be terrible if he ran into a stray dog by chance. Moreover, it was late autumn now. He wasnât aware of the cold when he ran away just now, but now that he stopped, he could feel it. Even though he had thick fur to resist the cold, it would be absolutely unpleasant to sleep and eat outside at night.
Xu Mao Mao soon thought of a good destination âh is home!
His house has a password lock system and he can try to open the door. All kinds of rations had been stored in the house throughout the year which is sufficient for him to eat for a long period of time.
Xu Mao Mao peered around to identify the road and realised that it was xx road, which wasnât far away from his housing area.
Fortunately, this district had many complicated bushes and alleys. He was cautious during the entire journey and rushed towards his house without any delay to the point where his claws were filthy. Finally, after three hours, he reached the gate of his housing area.
However, the moment he showed up, the dedicated security guard had chased him out.
â Shoo shoo shoo. Where did this stray cat come from!â The security guard wielded a stick to stop him from entering.
Seeing the security guardâs face, Xu Mao Mao felt helpless. He was the famous exemplary staff of the Property Management Centre! He was praised many times because of his dedication and conscientiousness in carrying out his duty. With him around, it could be said that not even a housefly can enter this place.
"
"
Xu Mao Mao didnât give up dealing with him. After finding out that this cat was very persistent, the security guard continued working even when the shift was over and kept watch at the entrance.
Xu Mao Mao was fuming, but he could only retreat temporarily.
During this time, his mouth was dry and his claws were a little sore. So, he hid to rest and ate another mouthful of the canned food. Now he only had three mouthfuls of canned food left in his backpack.
When he clicked on the red envelope group, his cat friends were discussing the red envelopes Dr. Mi just sent. The red envelope was sent out when he was escaping from the pet hospital.
However, only three red envelopes were sent out and all of them were experimental products.
ăSpecial Plumă: Itâs me again! I managed to snatch the biggest one again!
ăRiceă: How was the effect?
ăSpecial Plumă: Being able to speak 100 words is really fun~
ăMi Guă: Iâm jealous, the one Mi Gu snatched can only speak 5 words QAQ
ăRiceă: What did you say?
ăMi Guă: I just said âI am Mi Guâ, I didnât know what to say for the last remaining word. The cats all bursted into laughter.
Xu Mao Mao was in deep sorrow, regretting why he didnât snatch the red envelope. Perhaps if he got the two words one he could shout âStopâ or âdonâtâ to Shen Yu. However, if he really shouted those words, Shen Yu might have been extremely frightened.
T/N: In raw, the Chinese characters for âStopâ or âDonâtâ that have been used are actually two.
Xu Mao Mao cried bitterly for help in the group.
ăOscară: Everyone, I left my home. Now Iâm homeless QAQ
ăRiceă: Why did you leave your home?
ăOscară: âŚI donât want to say.
ăMimi tigeră: Did you take a fancy to some lady cat and wanted to elope with her? laughing.jpg
ăOscară: No!
ăRiceă: Itâs very cold now. Your poop scooping officer must be worried.
ăOscară: I really canât return. Can everyone think of a place for me to stay temporarily?
ăMi Guă: How about you come and find Mi Gu?
ăOscară: Where is your house?
ăMi Guă: City A, Country B
ăOscară: QAQ I need to purchase a flight ticket first.
The cats were all worried for Oscar. They stayed quite far away from Oscar. Besides, cats are solitary animals and they usually wonât take initiative to invite other cats to stay with them.
ăFat Mimiă: I have an idea.
ăOscară: Big shot, please say it out!
ăFat Mimiă: Try to find a humanâs school. There are many female poop scooping officers who like to wait upon us. You only need to pass by the place they stay. I can guarantee that thereâs all kinds of food there, and even someone who will prepare you a home.
Xu Mao Maoâs eyes lit up when he understood itâs idea. When he went to university, there were in fact many cats in the university. Female students were compassionate. They usually feed them food and even sneak them into the dormitory to let them warm themselves up with the heating system when the weather is cold.
Oscarâs body appearance could be considered as a good looking cat. It would probably be very popular and he might as well be able to earn some love values.
Fortunately, his alma mater was also in this district and he could reach there before it closes.
The day became dark. The late autumnâs wind blew at both sides of his body when he ran quickly. He dashed madly for a few kilometres with speed and perseverance that didnât belong to a cat. At last, he reached his alma mater at 10 pm. By relying on the advantage of being familiar with the paths, he secretly snuck into one of the classroom buildings.
His claw was worn out and a little painful. Fortunately, the weather was cold and he couldnât perceive it too intensely.
The classroom building also had a central heating system. Although it wasnât as warm as the dormitory, it wasnât an issue to cope with for a night. Tomorrow, he will find an opportunity to be familiar with female students and get some food.
Xu Mao Mao fell asleep in a daze. He didnât know that Shen Yu had tried to look for him the entire day. He didnât even bandage the wound on his hand and only went to the emergency department to treat the bite late at night.
Because he delayed it for a long time, Shen Yu had a fever. He tiredly leaned against the chair, editing the missing cat notice using his phone while having an anti-inflammatory IV drip.
The author has something to say:
Shen Yu: How dare you to bite your husband! Gonna catch you back and f**k you on the spot!
Mao Mao: PleaseâŚplease regard the word âbiteâ literallyâŚ
