Pulling the forelimbs wasn't enough; they also had to pull the hindlimbs, sometimes even pulling the forelimbs with the left hand and the hindlimbs with the right, all at the same time—
"It's gotten longer, it's gotten longer, haha!"
"Grow longer!"
"Meow—meow—" Xiaomi's meows gradually became pitiful and weak. It was even a little afraid of Liu Shengrui and would occasionally scurry away to hide somewhere.
But Liu Shengrui isn't stupid; he'll search everywhere, and once he finds you, it will be another round of torment.
"Get down!" Another slap, and Liu Shengrui completely stunned Xiaomi.
"Meow--"
At this moment, Zhang Cuihua had just finished washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen. As she passed by the living room, Liu Shengrui immediately transformed into a well-behaved child, gently stroking Xiaomi.
After Zhang Cuihua collected all the family's dirty clothes and went to do the laundry, Liu Shengrui was "free" again. No one was watching him anymore, and he became the same person who terrified Xiaomi again.
"Get longer!"
"Meow—meow—"
While washing clothes, Zhang Cuihua heard Xiaomi's barking. She chuckled a few times and muttered to herself.
"We always say our little Rui is the best behaved. Look at him, how happy and well he's playing with Xiaomi! He's such a worry-free person!"
Zhang Cuihua was completely unaware of what was actually happening in the living room, still immersed in the illusion of her eldest grandson's kindness and cuteness.
Liu Shengrui thoroughly enjoyed this new toy and adapted to playing the role of having one face in public and another in private.
In contrast, Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an decided to study hard and improve their milk-caring skills in order to take good care of the kitten.
"Brother, do you think there are books in the library that specifically teach how to raise cats?" Lu Si'an asked curiously.
They knew that the family had a very impressive library.
Qiao Hanxue often takes the two little ones to play in the library, letting them play with toys while he reads medical books.
When they got a little older and could understand simple pictures and words, the adults even found drawing books for them to "study".
That's why Lu Si'an was curious about whether there were any books specifically teaching how to take care of cats.
When Su Yueya returned home that evening, the two little ones clung to her.
"Mom, An'an wants to read a book, a book that teaches how to take care of a cat, okay?" Lu Si'an asked, holding a milk in one hand and pulling her mother's hand with the other, acting coquettishly.
They were too short to search on the bookshelf, and they didn't know many words, so they couldn't find the books themselves and had to ask an adult for help.
“Okay, Mom will take you to look for it,” Su Yueya said.
She thought her daughter's suggestion was a good one. After all, no one in the family had ever raised a kitten before, and they didn't know how to take good care of one. Reading books was the best way to learn.
As for books about pets, I imagine the space library should have them.
“Okay!” the two little ones agreed.
Su Yueya led them to the library, holding one in her left hand and the other in her right, and then began looking for books about pets.
With a thought in her mind, she immediately knew the direction of the books.
I pulled out a book called "Tiny Kitten Care Guide" from the shelf.
There were too many words in the book, and they were too complicated for the two little ones to figure out on their own, so their mother had to read them aloud.
"Mom, what does the book say?" Lu Siyuan sat up straight, looking like he was going to listen attentively.
Although Lu Si'an was also very curious, she kept touching the kitten and tugging at her brother's sleeve, signaling him to look at Milk's cute snoring.
Su Yueya thought the children were extremely cute, and she seemed to see, through this moment, the two of them going to kindergarten together in the future.
"Alright, Mom is going to start reading now, so you all have to listen carefully," Su Yueya said.
"Xiao Yuan is ready!"
Lu Si'an immediately stopped stroking the milk, and, imitating her brother, sat up straight and said, "An'an is ready too!"
Just like in kindergarten, the two little ones each sat on a small stool, obediently listening to the lesson.
Su Yueya picked up the "Rules for Raising Kittens" and began to read it aloud.
"Kitten Care Rules, Rule 1: Basic Preparations, Environment and Supplies".
"Environmental safety is paramount; windows and balconies must be properly sealed to prevent cats from falling from heights or getting lost."
Su Yueya nodded, thinking to herself that the kitten usually stayed in the space, and the house outside was only two stories high. It usually stayed there when receiving guests, and when it went out, someone would take it with it. So this was not a problem.
"Sharp objects and poisonous plants should also be put away in the house to prevent cats from accidentally touching them."
Su Yueya started to think again. It seemed that none of these things were in the house, so it should be safe.
After all, raising two kids is the same; you can't let them come into contact with sharp objects.
"The cat's diet, hygiene, entertainment, medical care..."
It's said that the two little ones are studying, but actually, it's Su Yueya who's learning.
As she read each item aloud, she silently considered in her mind whether it matched their current situation.
The two little ones listened attentively at first, but gradually their attention wandered, and even Lu Siyuan started playing with the kittens with his sister.
Su Yueya: "..."
Well, so this is just to give her something to do.
However, the two little ones did understand a bit about the part about analyzing the kitten's behavior.
For example, you need to ensure that the kitten drinks water every day. If the kitten is shedding fur or has not urinated for a long time, you need to pay attention to whether the kitten is sick.
For example, you can gradually introduce kittens to humans and other creatures to reduce their stress response.
When a kitten misbehaves, scratches or bites, and hisses, you should never hit or scold it; instead, you should let it cool down.
Spend time playing with your cat every day —
"An'an will!" Lu Si'an immediately raised her hand when this was mentioned. "An'an spends a lot of time playing with Milk every day!"
“I can do that too,” Lu Siyuan said.
Su Yueya was not worried about this at all.
Judging by the enthusiasm of the two little ones at this moment, there's absolutely no problem.
A kitten's tail held upright indicates friendliness or excitement; ruffled fur signifies fear and aggression; and a rapidly wagging tail indicates dissatisfaction.
Snoring indicates they are content, and kneading signifies extreme relaxation and trust.
"So every time I touch the milk, it always makes a whirring sound, which means the milk is very satisfied and likes to be touched by me!" Lu Si'an said proudly.
"Yes, An'an is very smart!" Su Yueya praised.
The little guy was even more pleased.
It was worth learning the "Kitten Care Guidelines"; afterwards, the two little guys took even better care of the milk.
With milk available, they naturally had to bring it with them whenever they went out to play in the yard.
"Mom, if we leave Milk at home, it'll be so pitiful all by itself—no, it's a cat all alone. Let's take it out to play!" Lu Si'an tilted her head and pleaded with her mother, trying to get Milk to go out and play with her.
