Xu Qiaoqiao is the same.

But thankfully, she still had a sliver of reason left. She pushed Da Mao away, sighed, and looked at her son. He was now bigger than her, and if he got fierce, he could probably scare a lot of people.

"Meow."

Da Mao put in more effort and meowed at Xu Qiaoqiao many more times. When a cat starts to act cute, it's really hard to resist.

In the end, Xu Qiaoqiao agreed to Da Mao's request.

Da Mao is seven years old now, and his thinking is quite mature. In many ways, we don't need to worry about him; he will understand.

Jun Qi licked Xu Qiaoqiao's chin and saw her staring blankly at the place where Da Mao usually slept. He stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "The children are grown up. They have their own world. We don't need to interfere too much."

Xu Qiaoqiao didn't seem too worried. She understood the reasoning behind it, but she was still a little upset. She leaned against Jun Qi's chest and meowed a few times. She still didn't know why Da Mao wanted to go out.

It was impossible to keep Da Mao's departure a secret from its owner, so before the owner could even ask, Xu Qiaoqiao had already prepared a reason. Only after Xu Qiaoqiao repeatedly assured the owner that nothing bad would happen to Da Mao did she manage to dissuade the owner from going out to look for it.

Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao's determined look, Miao Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. In recent years, the number of stray cats here has increased significantly. However, they are different. They don't pee everywhere, they don't rush out to scare people, and they regularly go to the pet rescue station to take a bath.

This situation has been going on for several years now, and it's generally accepted that these cats are treating the pet rescue station like a free public bathhouse.

With Xu Qiaoqiao's assurance, Miao Yuanyuan gradually relaxed.

I hope he's doing well out there.

As for the other three Maos, they lived simple and happy lives every day. They could play with a small ball all day long. They weren't very curious about the outside world, except when they were taken out as children and were amazed by the colorful world outside.

The three of them completely inherited Xu Qiaoqiao's homebody traits.

Is it because you're not feeling well at home, or the food at home isn't tasty enough? Why would you want to go out and wander?

Now that this year is over, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi will be ten years old. This means that they have entered old age this year. At this time, Xu Qiaoqiao can clearly feel herself getting older.

"Meow."

Xu Qiaoqiao called out, lazily basking in the sun. She scratched her head, yawned, rolled over, and lay most of her body on Jun Qi, occasionally rubbing against his ear, without opening her eyes at all.

She looked extremely tired.

"Meow." Jun Qi rolled over slightly, letting the kitten lie on his belly. The surface was softer there, so the kitten should be sleeping more comfortably.

Sure enough, Xu Qiaoqiao closed her eyes, happily rubbed against Jun Qi's soft belly, and hugged him even tighter.

Time really flies.
