Strange Life of a Cat

After dashing into that familiar forest, Zheng Tan quickly climbed a tree and shuttled from tree to tree. In terms of this skill, Zheng Tan was quite confident in outperforming the pursuing cat. Moreover, only one had appeared so far; what about the others?

The pursuing cat seemed a bit tired and unable to do anything with Zheng Tan, stopping to meow a few times. When these types of cats meowed, it sounded different from ordinary cats. Xiao Guo said they sounded like singing, but Zheng Tan hadn’t noticed it to be like singing then, and he certainly didn’t think so now.

This was probably calling its fellow cats, right? Good, let them all appear and deal with them all at once. Just now, Zheng Tan had sensed the attention of others around. The Cat Tamer had not appeared yet.

However, just as the cat’s calls ceased, another cat cry came from one direction, causing the cat below the tree to pause its climbing motion.

Zheng Tan watched as the cat seemed suddenly highly alert. Speaking of which, that meow from afar sounded somewhat familiar to Zheng Tan, though he couldn’t match it exactly and didn’t have much time to ponder on which critter it might be.

At this moment.

In the East District courtyard, Building B, Big Fatty’s house.

The old lady, wearing reading glasses, was looking at a book about Kunqu Opera when she suddenly remembered something and called out, “He Tao, bring the slippers on the balcony inside.”

As the weather got warmer, the winter slippers weren’t needed anymore, and the old lady had washed them and left them outside to air dry, forgetting to bring them in today. Typically, the old lady often asked Big Fatty to help fetch things from the balcony. He could still understand a few of the words he heard regularly.

After waiting a while without hearing any movement, the old lady looked toward the balcony, “Big Fatty?”

Realizing something was off, the old lady put down the book she was holding and walked to the balcony to take a look. Big Fatty was nowhere to be seen! (To be continued.
