Cat Man

The atmosphere made the audience unconsciously tense.

[Ahhh, am I going to be discovered? ]

[Damn it, I’m going to be caught on my first move!!]

[Don’t look at the sofa, don’t look at the sofa… Oops! ]

Xia Chen bent down and picked up the collar that had fallen on the sofa.

At the same time, she heard a sound from the window. She stood up with a little confusion, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a window with a small opening.

Ah! What happened? !

Did she forget to close the window?

"Xingxing? Xingxing, where are you?"

Seeing the window, Xia Chen finally started to get nervous. After calling out to everyone in the living room to no avail, he moved towards the window with a little panic.

Her kitten was very smart and learned to open the window a long time ago.

But after being scolded and taught a lesson by her, Xingxing had long lost interest in the window. So why would he suddenly open the window and run out?

Is it because you're in a new place?

Feeling extremely confused, Xia Chen reached for the window with his hands trembling slightly.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the floor she chose was not high, it was on the second floor.

“Meow——”

When she was about to look out and call out, a familiar cat's meow came from behind her.

"Ah! Stars!"

Xia Chen turned her head suddenly and was surprised to find that her little tabby cat was peeking out from under the sofa. Seeing her panic-stricken face, she seemed to be a little confused and slowly came out.

My heart suddenly settled down.

Click.

Xia Chen quickly closed the window, walked back quickly, and picked up the kitten. She was still frightened and her voice was shaking: "Bad star! Why didn't you answer your mother just now? I was scared to death!"

"Meow……?"

Xingxing licked his nose and hummed.

Although the cat does feel a little guilty, because of its triangular mouth with a proud temperament, it seems aggrieved when it snorts, as if it is the one being treated unfairly.

"You're still angry..."

Just as he was about to curse, Xia Chen suddenly remembered that he had locked the kitten outside the bedroom for several hours.

Ah! So the stars were angry with her and didn't respond to her?

The same thing happened with the collar. I forgot to take it off when I got home. No wonder it ignored me...

After realizing this, Xia Chen's anger disappeared, and he even felt a little guilty:

"I'm sorry, Xingxing. Mom didn't mean to ignore you..."

“Meow.”

At the same time, Xingxing actually felt a little guilty.

It was having so much fun playing outside that it almost forgot to come back. It was only when it passed by the street and saw the lighted living room that it realized it had come out without telling its mother.

He quickly crawled back home, only to find that Xia Chen had already come out of the bedroom and was still calling him everywhere.

The cat feels guilty.

But fortunately, it was agile and managed to quickly slip into the living room through the window when Xia Chen lowered his head at one moment, and its sneaking away was not discovered.

The man and the cat both felt guilty, so their attitudes were unusually good. They didn't pursue anything and went back to the bedroom to rest together.

Cat Man’s first crisis of being exposed was resolved quietly like this.

The audience took a deep breath.

[What a coincidence, this is a perfect timing. ]

[Although, Vision has seen many similar situations. ]

[Hahaha, that's true. Most of the time, the protagonist's parents come into the room and see that no one is there. The next second, they turn around and the protagonist rushes back... a classic reproduction.]

[This aspect is quite authentic hahaha, but it is more reasonable if it is a cat. After all, it is normal for cats to ignore people (bushi)]

A dreamless night.

The next morning, Xia Chen took his kitten to the nearby park to play again.

To be honest, she personally doesn't like going out to socialize, but she has no choice but to raise a social cat, so she can only follow the little guy's wishes and go out for walks more often.

"Go ahead, mom is waiting for you here."

After patting the kitten's head, Xia Chen said hello and put the kitten on the ground.

The information she learned from yesterday's communication with the local elderly was enough to put her mind at ease.

"quack--"

Just as he was about to enjoy the morning sunshine, he suddenly heard a cry. Xia Chen looked up and saw a big black bird on a tree. He was a little surprised: "There are crows here?"

Hearing this, the old man fanning himself nearby squinted his eyes and smiled: "Hey, don't call them that, they are the gangster bosses here!"

Xia Chen was surprised: "Black boss?"

Next, the enthusiastic old man told her about various stories about the crows in the town, including but not limited to vengeful crows, cooperative crows, and helpful crows... Her worldview was instantly shaken.

Are crows so smart?

"Then they won't do anything to the stars, right?" Xia Chen's first reaction after learning this was a little worried. "I saw a lot of videos online, and many crows like to nibble at kittens' fur."

The old man smiled and said, "It's okay, everyone knows their limits."

She looked up at the two crows on the branch that seemed to be plotting something, and smiled meaningfully: "Besides, the animal forces in this place are not dominated by the black boss alone... After the previous running-in, no party would use such a low-level method."

Xia Chen: ? ?

Wait a minute?

Did she accidentally walk into some strange film set?

She blinked in confusion, looking at her own cat foolishly chasing butterflies not far away, feeling worried.

Oh, her Xingxing is such a good baby!

It's totally out of place here!

[It’s so funny, it turns out the locals also play animal jokes? 】

[Well, how come crows are not considered evil forces? ]

[The owner is still worried about the kitten, but he doesn't know that the kitten went out to brush up his reputation last night. Hehe~]

[No, I always feel like those two crows are staring at the stars. Are they going to take revenge now?]

[Ah, are you so vindictive? Is your execution so strong? ]

“Gah—”

That's right.

The two black crows sneaking around on the branch were the two crows that were scared off by the stars and flew away from the seats yesterday.

Yesterday, when they returned to the group, they exaggerated the situation and described the suddenly appearing kitten as a new force that threatened the crow colony and must be nipped in the bud.

Although the leader crow didn't quite believe it, it also allowed them to launch some counterattacks.

Crows are the uncrowned kings of the sky in this small town. Even the guy next door who controls a group of stray cats has to give in to them and draw up a friendly agreement.

However, the new kitten below was really ignorant. Not only did it disrupt the robbery of the Crow Squad yesterday, but now it showed no respect to them and even tried to climb up the tree to invade their air territory.

This was too much to bear, the crow decided to teach it a lesson.

However, given the ancestral teachings left by their ancestors, the crows would not use very low-level means of attack...

The heritage of the crows tells them that if they want to do something evil, it is best not to do it in person.

Although they only have a partial understanding of it, they still follow it.

So…what’s nearby that can be used?

“Gah—”

Looking at a dog outside the park, the two crows' minds suddenly became active.

Ah Huang is a stray dog.

But strictly speaking, it is not a stray dog ​​because it has an owner.

It's just that its owner accidentally left it here...

But it always believed that its master would come back!

“Woo woo.”

Ah Huang licked the toy ball that was always with him lovingly.

This is the only thought the owner has left for it. Even if the puppy has changed its appearance, the owner will definitely recognize it when he sees Qiuqiu.

"Ah Huang, have you eaten yet?"

When a familiar passerby passed by, Ah Huang raised his head, wagged his tail, and barked at her happily.

Passersby like Ah Huang very much. They squeeze out some time to play with it on their way to work and considerately fill the drinking bowl on the wall with purified water.

"Woof!"

The puppy was grateful and licked the human's fingers gently to show his gratitude.

The puppy still had a silly smile on its face until the passerby left.

The owner must still love it very much!

It thought.

It's good enough to be able to keep it here!

Ah Huang is a cheerful little dog. He seems to have a good temper and is very quiet. He rarely barks.

The shop owners nearby all like it very much. They don’t mind seeing it enjoying the cool outside, and when it’s hot, they will take the initiative to invite it in to use the air-conditioning.

So Ah Huang believes that it can live here for a long time and will definitely wait for its owner to come and pick it up.

However, the puppy encountered a big problem.

——While it was just interacting with a stranger sister, its Poké Ball disappeared.

"Woof!"

Ah Huang screamed in fear and panic. He searched the spot for several times, almost digging three feet into the ground, but still couldn't find his ball.

This is very important!

Can't throw it away!

The puppy bent down and sniffed the air carefully for the scent of the toy ball. He was tense and followed the scent bit by bit to find it.

It found a park.

"Meow~"

"Where did you pick this up?"

A pretty and petite tabby cat was holding its toy ball in its mouth and calling out to a human girl.

“Woof woof woof!!”

Thinking the kitten was a ball thief, Ah Huang became very angry and rushed over.

"Stars beware!"

But the kitten's owner reacted quickly, and directly picked up the meowing kitten from the ground, making it miss its target, and drove it away with the folding stick in his bag: "Go away! Go away!"

At the same time, the elderly people nearby who were familiar with it were also surprised:

"Ah Huang, what are you doing?"

"How could you bite a kitten?"

"What's going on? Is it sick? Find someone to catch it and give it an injection!"

Ah Huang was criticized by a bunch of people who usually liked it, and he instantly became depressed.

“Woo…”

No, no.

The kitten stole its things!

It is very important, something related to the owner!

Ah Huang felt aggrieved, but he couldn't explain it.

Looking at the kitten being held in the arms of its human, and thinking about how long he would have to wait for his owner to come back, Ah Huang suddenly felt even sadder.

Snap——

The ball that the kitten was holding in its mouth had fallen after it was picked up by humans. Ah Huang no longer looked up at the humans, but held the ball in his mouth disappointedly, and was about to leave with his tail hanging down.

Stars popped up in Xia Chen's arms.

Hmm?

The cat's watery and bright eyes clearly reflected the puppy's lost back.

Catman's consciousness awakens.

An ordinary kitten would definitely be frightened by the scene just now, but Xingxing is different. He is the cat hero who wants to protect the world.

There is everything in the world, including dogs.

The dog in front of me looks pitiful and doesn’t look like a bad guy. What happened to it?

"Meow~"

Xingxing pushed Xia Chen's shoulder with her paw, signaling the girl to put her down. After landing, she ran towards the dog not far away without hesitation.

"Xingxing! Wait a minute!"

Ignoring the girl's exclamation, Xingxing quickly ran to Ah Huang.

“Woo, woo!”

Ah Huang grinned subconsciously and held the ball in his mouth tightly, thinking that the kitten was coming to steal his ball.

Bang!

Bang!

Xingxing saw that the dog was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, so he didn't want to tolerate it. He just gave the dog a cat punch, which stunned the dog.

"Woo woo..." What are you doing...

Ah Huang felt so wronged.

This bully cat, it’s not enough to steal its ball——

Now we have to beat it, how excessive!!

As a stray puppy without an owner, Ah Huang actually had no confidence. He only dared to shout because he wanted to get the ball back so badly. Now, seeing the arrogant kitten and the kitten's owner rushing over with a stick, he lost all desire to attack. He just lay there silently, protecting the ball in his mouth under his stomach.

"Meow~"

But to its surprise, when it calmed down, the kitten opposite also became gentler and called to it a few times in a friendly manner.

Ah Huang moved his eyes hesitantly and began to call out softly.

The two furries seemed to be having a conversation that humans couldn't understand.

"ah??"

Xia Chen, who hurriedly followed, was completely confused by this series of events. He stood there at a loss, not knowing whether he should take his kitten back.

Just then, someone took the initiative to stand next to her.

"They are making friends, you just need to watch over them. It's okay, Huang has a good personality, and everyone around can see it."

The person who was speaking was a lady who looked intellectual and elegant. When she looked at the two furry creatures interacting with each other, a hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes. She said to herself, "Your kitten is so lively. Alas, before that incident, Rainbow Dash was like this too..."

"Rainbow Dash? Is that your cat?"

"Yes, a white cat."

Humans are talking, and cats and dogs are talking too.

After a series of difficult communications, Xingxing learned the dog's life experience - it was abandoned by its own mother.

The cat was shocked.

Oh my god!

So miserable!

“Woo woo!”

Not abandoned! Just lost!

Ah Huang retorted excitedly, biting his own precious ball gently to absorb energy, but the whole dog was still hit by Mao Mao's words, and became visibly emo.

“Meow.”

Xingxing licked the puppy's dull fur apologetically, and decided to help it to make up for what she had just said.

After quietly looking up at the adults chatting, Xingxing leaned close to Ah Huang's ear and told it his little secret -

It's Catman with mysterious powers!

So, we can definitely help the puppy find its owner!

Narrator:

"By some strange coincidence, he met a lost person who was wandering at a crossroads."

"The other party also has special abilities, but because he lost the most important person, he is full of confusion and is on the verge of losing control."

"Originally, the Lost One was provoked and almost engaged in a fight with TA, but fortunately TA was rational and gentle enough and did not fall for it. Instead, he communicated with the other party on an equal footing."

"After learning about the other person's life experience, he seemed to be thinking deeply."

"Whether it's for the stability of the town or for the lost themselves, they all feel they should help them find their loved ones and return to a happy family."

The audience was originally looking at the two furry animals curled up at the human's feet, humming and speaking words that humans could not understand with confusion, but with the narration translation, they immediately understood.

[Oh! Is this dog a stray dog? According to the narration, the owner is missing? ]

[Although it is relatively clean, the fur on its body is indeed messy. It must be a stray dog. ]

[So Xingxing is going to help it find an owner? Good kitty, good kitty, you are worthy of being the Cat Man, so reliable! ]

[However, how can I help you find it? ]

"Woof?"

Ah Huang had no ability to distinguish, so as soon as the kitten said it could help, the puppy believed it.

All of a sudden, all the resentment just now disappeared. Ah Huang's eyes were full of expectation, and he licked the stars in a flattering manner to show his friendliness.

Really?

Thanks kitty!

Love you, love you... huh?

A white paw snapped onto the puppy's enthusiastic mouth. Xingxing shook his head, his face serious:

Don't be too enthusiastic!

Let’s discuss how to find people!

“Woo!”

Speaking of this, Ah Huang became energetic.

It stood up, gestured and turned around, describing its master, whom it had not seen for a long time, as the best two-legged animal in the world, and could be seen from the crowd at a glance.

Star:……

The kitten puffed out its lips, interrupting the dog's excitement.

First of all, its mother is the best biped in the world;

Secondly, could you please give some specific characteristics?

Speaking of this, Ah Huang became a little dispirited.

Cats and dogs have different senses, and it is difficult for the kitten to tell the smell it can remember, which cuts off the possibility of finding people by smell.

So how do we find someone together?

Both of them fell into deep thought at the same time.

"Meow?"

Xingxing racked his brains and thought hard, and finally an idea came to him. He no longer asked about the owner's characteristics, but asked the dog where he last saw his owner.

I have a deep memory of this Ah Huang.

When you get close to that place from far away, you can hear the sounds of many cats.

The owner walked into that place, and the cat waited outside. It waited and waited, but never saw the owner again.

The stars were thoughtful.

Is there a place with lots of cats? It remembers that.

On the way back, Xingxing was always paying attention to the sounds nearby, his ears moving around like a mobile antenna.

Xia Chen was so caught up in the nervousness of making new friends in a new place that he didn't notice the kitten's strangeness for a moment. He only turned around in confusion when he couldn't pull the leash anymore:

"What's up, Xingxing? Did you see anything?"

She saw the kitten staying behind her, turning around and looking somewhere with a serious expression.

Confusedly following the cat's gaze, Xia Chen burst out laughing: "Hahaha, baby, why are you staring at the cat cafe?"

"Do you also want to go in and pick up customers and make money?"

She deliberately teased the kitten, picked up the motionless little fellow, and pretended to walk over there: "Haha, it's time for you to earn some cans for your mother. This little face, tsk tsk, I'm sure many customers will like it."

As he got closer, the cat's cry that Star Cat Ears captured became clearer and clearer.

"Meow..." Don't touch...

"Ahh!" Bite you!

"Hoohoo~" So comfortable~

Along with this, there was also the extremely excited voice of a group of bipeds:

"Hey, little kitty~"

"This belly was born to be buried by me! Hahaha!"

"Touch the bell. Hey, it's empty?"

Star:! !

The cat was horrified.

What is this place?!

Seeing Xia Chen holding it and walking towards the source of the sound, it immediately struggled.

No no no!

Don't let it go in!!

“Meow, meow!”

The trembling Xingxing quickly wrapped her arms around the human's neck and buried her head in his chest, like a child who didn't want to go to the hospital, which immediately made Xia Chen soften his heart.

At the same time, it's a bit funny.

Isn’t it just a cat cafe?

Can you be so scared?

What's going on in there?

"Okay, okay, are you going to leave now?"

"Meow meow!" Go away!

After being put down again, Xingxing hurriedly walked in front, almost pulling Xia Chen towards home, with urgent steps, as if there was a ghost chasing him from behind.

The man and the cat returned home in a hurry.

Xia Chen went to cook as usual, while Xingxing curled up on the sofa, lost in deep thought.

Where there are many cats...

It seemed like the only house on the road was the one we just saw.

So, should we go there to find out information for the puppy?

The narration is subtle:

"In order to save the lost, he is of course willing to do his best for the other person."

"But who would have thought that the initial clue would be found in a romantic setting!"

"For a minor like him, this seems... a little inappropriate."

"Although he is a superhero who fights evil and protects the good in the dark, he is actually still a child..."

Audience: ? ?

Recalling what happened on the way home, they suddenly understood.

[Oh my god, so that romantic place refers to a cat cafe? ? ]

[Aaaaaa, I’m so upset. Doesn’t that mean I have to go there every day? ()]

[Hahahaha, I am dying of laughter. No wonder Xingxing behaved like this when she came back. She must have scratched the scratching board bald. Hahaha. This is indeed something worth worrying about. 】

[How can it be a cat cafe? Hahaha, but I’m looking forward to the stars, come on! Please bear with the betrayal of your beauty, this is the only way for superheroes (hiss)]

[That’s enough! The cat is still a child! ]

The stars are really confused.

It was so confused that it didn't sneak out again for the whole night. Instead, it found Ah Huang while taking a walk the next day to confirm again and again whether it was that place.

Ah Huang was very excited: "Woof woof!"

It's there!

Because it is a dog, it cannot investigate on its own. If it gets a little closer, someone will warn it. The cats it has met before are mysterious and cold and refuse to help. Now it can only rely on the stars.

Please, Kitty qwq

Star:……

hateful!

The young Cat Man was unable to refuse the look in the eyes of the person seeking help, so he gritted his teeth and went for it.

Today's cat cafes are still doing booming business.

Customers came and went, and the door opened and closed constantly.

But there is no need to worry about the cats in the cat cafe running away. They are all equipped with chips, and the positioning and alarm functions can completely prevent them from running away without permission.

only……

It seems that it can't prevent foreign kittens.

A little tabby cat in the corner was targeted by a new group of guests——

"Huh? I haven't seen this kitten on the menu before? Is it new?"
