Chapter 1807: [Side Story] there are gains and losses

“There’s a saying that you don’t know if it’s true or not. It says that if a cat is raised by you since young, it will think that you and it are both cats because cats don’t have a strong self-awareness. It doesn’t know what it looks like and will be shocked when it sees itself in the mirror. If a second cat appears, it will realize that you are not cats of the same kind as it is … So it will not kiss you as it did before. ”
It was not that Zhang Zian was fooling the netizens, but that was the truth. Having two cats would definitely lead to a decrease in their intimacy with their owners, and it would be a lot less.
Before raising the two cats, the owner imagined the pictures of the two cats snuggling up to each other on the internet, but after raising the two cats, he knew that they would only snuggle up to each other when they were tired of fighting. The two cats ‘daily routine at home was fighting and parkour. Their fur was everywhere, and parkour made it hard for one to sleep at night. Cosmetics and other expensive and fragile things would become sacrifices … This was a rather common phenomenon.
Is this still in line with your original intention of raising two cats? The first cat would not be lonely, but it might not be willing to not be lonely in this way.
They fought to drive each other away so that they could occupy their own territory, but the house was closed, and the weak couldn’t run away even if they wanted to.
When two cats fight, there will always be one stronger and one weaker. The weaker one can’t escape from your house and can only be bullied endlessly all year long. Have you ever considered the feelings of the weaker one?
It was just like how a family would look like after they had given birth to a second child. Whether it was the siblings, there was no time when they did not fight. The eldest child bullied the second child, and the second child complained to their parents. They were all fighting for the family’s resources and their parents ‘love. Only when the two children were adults, entered society, and even had their own children, would they recall the events of that time. The memories would automatically be filtered out, leaving only the good things behind. Only then would they feel that it was not bad to have a sibling. But at that time, no matter what, they would only hate each other … There should be very few brothers and sisters who loved each other from the beginning to the end.
Returning customers who had bought a cat in Zhang Zian’s shop and felt that it was not bad and wanted to buy a second cat would always be reminded of the possible consequences of raising a second cat.
He would ask customers what their original intentions were for raising a pet, whether they were satisfied with watching the pet play on its own at home, or if they wanted the pet to interact more with them. If it was the former, it was fine to buy a second cat, but if it was the latter, buying a second cat would be asking for death.
“No wonder the black and white kitten in the manager’s shop is always playing parkour with other cats.” A netizen posted a bullet comment.
“Something like that,” Zhang Zian laughed.
Of course, sprites were different from ordinary pets. They had gained sentience and had the consciousness of “companions” instead of “the same kind,” but they couldn’t explain it to the netizens.
“It’s precisely because Qi Qi is an old customer of our shop that I strongly advise her not to raise a second cat, because she’s currently in a benign interaction range with her cat. Once she raises a second cat, she will imagine herself having a pair of women on the left and right, but in fact, she will spend more energy and work more, but the gains will be negative.”
“There are exceptions. Nothing is absolute. If it’s cats from the same litter or cats of the same age, it’s better if they grew up together. But at the same time, their interaction with you will never be as much as the interaction between a single cat and you.”
“Of course, as the owner, you have the right to raise a second cat, just like you have the right to have a second child as a parent. However, before you raise a cat or give birth, don’t always think about the bright future. Think about the not-so-bright future and be mentally prepared. This is how you are responsible for your first cat or your first child. Don’t always look at how harmonious the cats at home are on the internet, because it’s just like WeChat moments. People only show the good things. As for the trouble behind it … Once it’s displayed, it won’t be as eye-catching anymore. ”
Whether it was netizens who had one cat at home, many cats, or cats on cloud, they were all very touched, especially those who had siblings. It was impossible to say that they had never thought “if only I were the only child at home”. Who stole whose toys, who dirtied whose clothes, when brothers and sisters quarreled, they would always want each other dead. When there was a large age gap, they could not play together at all, and it was difficult to develop feelings for each other in daily life. If humans were like this, what more cats?
On the other hand, the dog gang was happily watching the show, because there would not be such a problem when raising dogs. Whether you raised one dog or many dogs, as long as they believed you were a pure-blooded Dog King, they would unite around you …
The netizen next to her listened thoughtfully. She remembered the day when big orange came, it chased and fought with the cat at home. In the end, big orange won an overwhelming victory with its unshakeable weight advantage. It could also be said that it used violence to force the indigenous people in the family to change their bad habits. But what if she really adopted big orange, and then the family played such a chase and fight every day? Who was she going to side with? was big orange a native? If she couldn’t stop the fight and let the natives be bullied, she didn’t want that.
There was already one cat at home. No one knew in advance whether the two cats would get along with each other if a second cat was brought in. If one cat was being bullied, should one of the cats be sent away?
“Thank you, manager Zhang. I understand. I won’t have any other thoughts. I’ll take care of the cat first.” She nodded and then said as if she had thought of something,””By the way, big orange came again later. Although he didn’t enter the house, the cat food and water I put at the door were reduced. On this floor where I live, there are usually no stray cats running up, so it should be him. I also hoped that he would scratch the door to let me know that he was here, so I could open the door for him to rest in the house.”
“Alright, if I meet big orange, I’ll try to communicate with it.” Zhang Zian nodded.
“Manager, are you planning to smear Orange’s poop on the wall? Paint the wall with feces?”
“Don’t say anymore. It’s better to put a few dried fish at the door.”
“If I put the dried fish, I’ll probably attract flies first …”
Zhang Zian was about to retort when Wang Qian called.
“Hello?”
“Master, when will you be back?” Wang Ben asked.
“Soon, why?”
“Tsk, if you’re fine, come back quickly. It’s not easy to get some business, but someone came to ruin it …” Wang Qian was speechless.
“Oh? Alright, I’ll go back immediately. ”
Zhang Zian was very surprised. Judging from Wang Qian’s tone, it was not a force-based attack, so someone was disrupting the business.
