Chapter 177 The Cat Transforms into a Living Animal

The calico cat appeared on campus a year ago in the spring.

When the cat association students discovered her alone, they figured she was probably a kitten that had recently been separated from its mother. They were eager to capture and neuter this new cat and prepare to TNR (catch-neuter-return).

Unfortunately, this calico cat is incredibly clever.

It seems to be a good cat that doesn't hiss or scratch people, and even rubs against them affectionately.

In reality, it's a naughty cat that darts into the bushes the moment it catches a glimpse of a flight case or net.

The cat association students refused to believe it and posted notices in the places where she often appeared, asking people not to feed her. They also published an article on their official WeChat account, calling on everyone to starve her for a few days before finally using a trap cage as their ultimate weapon.

As a result, the calico cat, seeing that it couldn't get any food, sat there pondering for a long time before turning around and starting to chase and attack other cats on campus.

She suddenly became the king of cats, happily accepting offerings from her younger brothers and sisters.

They can even sneak into the trap cage quietly without touching the pedal mechanism, grab the canned food inside, and swagger away.

And so, the cat association students fought against her for almost a year.

The only saving grace is that this cat seems to have never been in heat, and even if it disappears for a couple of days, it won't come back with a belly full of kittens.

The cat association members then confidently asserted: "Its sexual orientation may not be male."

Later, upon learning that the cat had traveled a long way to stage an accident to get to Jiang Yingxu's location, the members were speechless.

"Oh, so your sexual orientation is towards handsome people."

Despite joking about it, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though universities have a relatively lenient environment for stray cats, there are still countless dangers.

In terms of lifespan, it's hard to compare with a domestic cat that is carefully cared for and accompanied.

After learning that the calico cat had staged an accident for her with a young master from a family with a large corporation to inherit, everyone was happy for her future wealth and luxury.

A female student from the cat association was very helpful: "It's springtime now, which is definitely the time when cats are in heat. If it doesn't show any signs of pain, I'm more inclined to believe this is the case."

Each cat behaves differently when in heat. Some cats will meow and run around excessively, while others are very well-behaved and quiet, but they won't eat or move much, and they'll be very clingy.

[You can pat its rear end; if it bounces up immediately and makes a particularly sweet sound, it's most likely it.]

Jiang Yingxu replied with a thank you.

He didn't disturb the kitten who was resting, but went to the kitchen to prepare cat food. He shredded the cooked chicken breast and shrimp into small pieces and mixed in some canned mousse.

I took the cat bowl and went straight to the cat bed and sat down.

The kitten's ears twitched, and it looked up at him. It lazily yawned, then rolled over in a spoiled manner, revealing its snow-white belly.

Jiang Yingxu's eyes were gentle. With a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, after the kitten jumped onto his lap, he fed her directly to her mouth like an overindulgent parent.

"Eat a little."

The kitten was very obliging; it came over, curled its little tongue, and licked the meat off the spoon.

It only ate a little over half a bowl, thanks to being hand-fed entirely.

Jiang Yingxu put the cat bowl aside, and as the kitten buried its head in washing its face, his long fingers landed on its back and gently stroked it.

He used the same method he always used to pet cats, rubbing their heads and chins, and smoothing their fur.

As the kitten purred contentedly with its eyes half-closed, I tentatively moved my hand to the base of its tail.

I took a picture.

"...Meow?"

The kitten jumped, its big cat eyes widening as it stared at him blankly.

It turned its head to look behind it, flicked its fluffy tail, as if it hadn't reacted yet.

Jiang Yingxu carefully examined the situation and restrained himself from taking action.

He patted it a few more times.

Then he saw the kitten's tail suddenly rise high, the tip of its tail hooked with a happy little question mark, and it unconsciously lifted its bottom towards his palm, making a long, sweet purring sound from its throat.

—Does this count?

Jiang Yingxu hesitated, remembering the instruction not to take too many pictures, and slowly stopped, instead gently stroking her.

Then the kitten turned its head and bit it in dissatisfaction.

The little, sharp teeth nibbled at his finger, pretending to bite, but actually without any force, only smearing his finger with saliva.

Jiang Yingxu let her bite him.

He coaxed softly, "Have you been feeling unwell these past few days? I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow, okay?"

After all, this is just an exceptionally intelligent kitten that can understand human speech.

If he doesn't give a reasonable explanation, the cat will curl up on the top shelf of the cat tree, looking down at him and his carrier.

Even if you coax them into your arms and then take the cat carrier.

They can also cleverly tilt their heads and slip out.

Jiang Yingxu couldn't bear to use force on her.

Before, when I went out for check-ups and vaccinations, they always coaxed me in this gentle way.

The kitten flicked its tail flatly and let out a muffled meow.

Jiang Yingxu knew that it meant he didn't want to go.

He frowned. "But you're not acting right."

The kitten slapped his wrist with its paw and howled in a rough voice.

Don't worry.

It's hard to say for sure right now.

But the cat vaguely knew that her body was gathering strength.

Occasionally, the bones would make a crackling sound, and a strange energy permeated the flesh, steadily shifting in one direction.

The transition will end in the next couple of days.

night.

Jiang Yingxu leaned back on the headboard, scrolling through posts about female cats going into heat and being spayed on his tablet.

He looked at it very carefully.

The bedside reading lamp softened the sharp lines of his profile, outlining his slightly furrowed brows.

His thin lips were pressed straight, and he looked as serious as if he were giving an academic research report.

Jiang Yingxu was so focused on the kitten's health that he stayed up late, past his usual bedtime.

therefore.

He noticed it immediately when the kitten curled up in a ball on the pillow suddenly started twitching unnaturally.

The kitten's eyes were tightly closed, the tips of its ears twitched frequently, and its belly, covered with soft, long fur, rose and fell rapidly.

Jiang Yingxu's heart tightened, and he went through all the acute illnesses described in the post in his mind.

He quickly reached for his phone on the bedside table to call his assistant, then leaned closer, his low, tense voice filled with worry, and softly called her name.

"Meow?"

The kitten didn't respond to his calls, and its four long, fluffy paws twitched more and more violently.

A short, sharp humming sound also came from his throat.

The moment Jiang Yingxu placed his hand over and touched her soft back fur, it was the next second.

A misty, silvery-white light suddenly emanated from the kitten's body, hazy like moonlight, slowly flowing across the fingertips and enveloping the tiny calico cat.

Jiang Yingxu was stunned for a moment.

In the blink of an eye.

Long fingers are the first to fall into a delicate and warm embrace.

It's no longer soft, long-haired.

Instead, it's a warm, skin-like sensation unique to the human body.

Jiang Yingxu almost held his breath—

Just now, right under his nose.

A cat suddenly appears alive.

Now, a fair-skinned young girl has appeared on the pillow where the kitten used to sleep.
