Chapter 54 The Cat Wants to Send Her In
The night vision function of the surveillance cameras in the backyard is relatively poor. Through the surveillance cameras, you can only see the black cat carrying something in, but you can't see clearly what it is carrying.
"What did you get?"
"My sister is too weak. Meow, I brought her the prey."
As the black cat's inner voice sounded, Lin Ting followed her line of sight and saw the little owl on the carpet, staring at her with its eyes wide open.
After meeting her gaze, the little owl couldn't help but scream and flapped its wings to try to escape, but failed after flapping several times.
"Ahhh, please don't come over here."
'It hurts.'
"The eagle seems unable to fly. What should I do? Will it be eaten by humans, dead cats, and who knows what else?"
The little owl couldn't fly and could only hop backwards.
His eyes were full of vigilance towards Lin Ting.
Only then did Lin Ting notice the obvious bloodstains on the little owl's wings.
Lin Ting's eyes moved back and forth between the little owl and the black cat. She really didn't know whether to cry or be moved.
He was touched that the black cat helped him hunt in the middle of the night.
The cat she shot was a national second-class protected animal. As half-owner of the black cat, she could easily end up in jail.
The black cat seemed to be aware of Lin Ting's look and meowed to explain.
'Not meow.'
"He was injured himself, and I was just passing by and picked it up for my sister."
Lin Ting threw back the quilt and got out of bed, stepping barefoot on the soft carpet. The little fennec fox and the black cat quickly jumped off the bed like bodyguards and followed her.
Seeing this, the owl was so scared that it kept backing away until it was backed into a corner with nowhere to go. It even tried to flap its wings and fly away, but gave up because of the pain in its wings.
"Should the eagle pretend to be dead? If it pretends to be dead, people won't eat it."
Before the owl could play dead and lie on the ground, Lin Ting quickly interrupted, "Don't play dead. I won't eat you."
"I'd never trust you."
"I swear I won't eat you, but your wings seem to be injured. I can bandage them for you." After hearing this, Lin tentatively stretched out his hand, wanting the owl to smell his scent.
The owl was about to peck Lin Ting in self-defense, but when it smelled the scent emanating from Lin Ting, it stopped its action.
'It smells nice.'
Seeing that the owl didn't attack, Lin Ting continued, "If you don't bandage this wound quickly, it will get inflamed and you might not be able to fly anymore."
Lin Ting was not trying to scare the little owl.
The weather is hot now, and wounds can easily become inflamed and ulcerated. Although animals have strong healing abilities, if the injuries are serious, human intervention is still required.
'Deliberately scaring the eagle.'
"Eagles won't let humans touch them. Humans are liars."
"I'm not lying to you. If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement." Lin Ting nodded the little owl's head, smiled and went downstairs to find the medicine box. By the way, he went downstairs to cut a plate of beef and brought it upstairs, and also took out the semi-finished product left over from yesterday's cooking from the refrigerator.
Lin Ting divided the raw beef into two parts, one for the fennec fox, another for the little owl, and the remaining cooked beef to the black cat.
Seeing the beef in front of it, the owl was obviously very hungry, but it looked at it cautiously without moving.
"Don't worry, there's no drug in the food I give you. I just don't want to have a stable job." Lin Ting pushed the little owl in front of him.
The owl realized belatedly that Lin Ting could actually understand what he was saying.
He slowly moved forward, took a bite of raw beef and started eating. After making sure that Lin Ting would not make any further move, the owl tried again, slowly moving forward, and took another bite.
After finishing the plate of meat, Lin Ting grabbed the owl in his hand.
The captured owl instinctively flapped its wings and said, "Don't move, be careful not to tear the wound."
Lin Ting took a piece of uneaten cooked meat from the black cat's bowl and stuffed it into the little owl's mouth.
The greedy little owl was chewing and trying to flap its wings, but finally gave up when it felt the pain in its wings.
Lin Ting pulled away the bloody feathers on the owl's wings and saw a penetrating wound across the entire wing. There were some wood chips on the wound. It seemed that the owl flew too fiercely when it was hunting at night and directly hit a sharp branch.
The branch pierced through his entire wing, and he struggled to pull it out. Later, it fell to the ground due to the pain and was picked up by the black cat.
The weather is hot now. Even if the owl has a strong self-healing ability, it will be difficult for it to heal itself if there are still sawdust in the wound, and the possibility of inflammation is very high.
Lin Ting stroked the owl's furry head. "Baby, let me treat your wound first. It's quite serious, and there's wood stuck in the wound that needs to be cleaned out. I'll give you some local anesthetic. It will be a little painful at first, but then you'll feel a tingling sensation. Don't worry, it's not dangerous. I'm just healing you."
'A little bit of beating is fine.'
Because we were afraid that grandpa would get sick, the medicine box at home was quite complete, with all kinds of ready-made medicines and injections.
Owls are small, so not much local anesthesia is needed. She only drew a small amount with the needle and said, "Baby, I'm going to give you an anesthetic. Don't move."
"Eagles are the kind that move around."
"Eagles don't feel pain."
Oh
"It hurts so much, Eagle."
"Oh my god, the eagle got electrocuted."
Lin Ting threw the syringe into the trash can. "I didn't get an electric shock. It's just the anesthetic taking effect. I estimate it will take another three or four hours for the numbness to wear off."
While waiting for the anesthetic to take effect, Lin Ting did not forget to give the owl some raw beef to help divert his attention.
Although the wings felt numb and tingling, it did not prevent the owl from eating.
The black cat and the fennec fox, who had finished their food, came over separately. One rubbed against her arms, and the other hung on her legs. Lin Ting raised her hand and rubbed the black cat's ears. "Don't catch this kind of bird when you go out in the future, okay?"
"I didn't catch it, I picked it up."
Lin Ting pinched his eyebrows with a headache, and indeed he didn't catch it.
"Okay, then don't catch them from now on. If you come across an injured one, you can pick it up and I'll help you."
"Also, my sister doesn't need you to go hunting."
"Oh, sister doesn't like birds, so next time meow will catch mice for her."
Hearing that Black Cat was eager to repay her, Lin Ting quickly stopped her, "Stop, I don't need you to repay me. Don't catch birds for me, don't catch mice for me, and don't catch any messy things for me."
Lin Ting was afraid that she would not give enough instructions, so the black cat grabbed a bunch of things and put them at the head of her bed.
Anyone who sees such a pile of things so early in the morning will die on the spot.
'All right. '
Lin Ting poked the wound on the owl's wing with tweezers and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
'No pain'
'numb'
"It's good that it doesn't hurt." Lin Ting picked up the tweezers and cleaned away all the wood chips remaining on the wound.
