Chapter 30 Two little kittens, meow! meow!
"it……"
Xiao Tang paused for a moment, calming himself down before continuing, "It has two children."
"What?" Xiao Li's eyes widened. "So, where are the two kittens?"
“…Dead.”
Xiao Li was stunned.
It turned out that Xiao Tang followed the traces of the big white cat, walked along the passage for a while, and then turned into the brick and stone ruins.
The big white cat was bleeding all the way and struggled to move itself into a corner of the ruins.
There is a small cat nest in the gap between two large rocks.
There was a small mat in the wooden fence cage, which obviously had been kept there before the storm.
Are they pets raised in kindergarten? Some kindergartens raise cats and dogs so children can observe animals and develop a love for them.
However, the wind blew down the kindergarten building, smashing half of the cat cage and trapping a kitten under the rocks.
There was another one, and judging by the wounds, it was bitten to death.
Not far from the cat cage lay a dead dog.
Judging from the wounds on the corpse, they were probably the result of the big white cat's attack.
It is estimated that after the typhoon, a dog invaded the cat's nest and killed the kittens. To protect its kittens, the big white cat fought fiercely with the dog. Although it killed the enemy, it was also seriously injured and was on the verge of death.
Xiao Li choked up and said, "No wonder. The wounds on its body don't look like they were simply caused by bricks and stones. There are also scratches and bites."
Qiao Lan nodded. "Cats and dogs don't naturally get along. Some stray dogs, in particular, will attack cats directly upon seeing them. Some people raise pet cats and dogs together and they get along quite well. That's a special case of domestication."
If you don’t believe it, just look at the stray cats and dogs on the street. It would be strange if they could coexist peacefully.
She had seen mutated cats and dogs at the end of the world. Although they were quite powerful mutant beasts, they still couldn't change their nature. The two groups could not integrate. Whenever they met, they would fight for no reason and would not stop until death.
Xiao Tang said: "The big cat lay down next to the two little cats and closed its eyes."
He waited for a while, then went forward and touched it.
The big white cat had no heartbeat or breathing and was dead.
Xiao Tang picked up the small blanket from the cat bed and covered the three cats with it. He then moved a few bricks and covered them on top of them to form a simple grave.
Xiao Li covered his mouth and cried.
Qiao Lan was also silent.
Animals have spirits and emotions.
Especially smart animals.
This big white cat's four cubs met with disaster before they were even a month old. One was hit by bricks and stones, and one was bitten by a wild dog. The cat itself was also seriously injured and realized that it could no longer take care of its two surviving children.
It was probably when Qiao Lan and Xiao Tang were clearing the passage through the ruins that it discovered Qiao Lan's strange abilities.
They would go to the child's house to entrust the child with the care of the child, hoping to find a chance for the child to survive in the future.
If there had been no storm, perhaps they would still be living a leisurely life under the care of the kindergarten.
This disaster changed the fate of many people and also changed the fate of small animals.
Gently stroking the two kittens in his arms, the soft touch made Qiao Lan, who originally didn't want to adopt them, soften her heart.
"Little guys, you must mutate well and not turn into bloodthirsty beasts, otherwise, you won't have any dried fish to eat."
She threatened them fiercely and violently.
Meow……
The two little kittens were tugging at Qiao Lan's clothes, calling out in baby voices.
Meow, meow...
Keep calling.
Qiao Lan took out a bag of dried fish snacks from the space, opened it, and the rich aroma of fish wafted out.
"Sister Lan, no." Xiao Li stopped Qiao Lan who was about to feed the kitten.
"Look, they've just opened their eyes. They're at most three weeks old, not even a full month old. Their stomachs are very fragile, so they can't eat anything random, or they'll get diarrhea, or even die."
Qiao Lan was confused.
Is there such a requirement?
Not all kittens can eat dried fish?
"Well, what are you feeding me? If you keep barking, you must be hungry."
"Maybe he wants to find his mother," Xiao Li said, "or maybe he's cold. Of course, that's impossible. You're warm in my arms, sister."
"Mom didn't." The big white cat fell asleep with its two dead cubs.
Speaking of which, this is a very capable mother cat.
Resisting the cat's instinct to run away when it sees a dog, he fought and killed a dog to protect the cub. He dragged his seriously injured body to find someone to entrust the child to, and finally crawled back to sleep with the kitten.
Qiao Lan rubbed the kittens' furry little bodies and told them, "You have a very powerful and wonderful mother, but she can't be with you anymore. You have to live well on your own, understand?"
She was answered with two milky meows.
I don’t know if you understood.
"Sister, you have goat milk powder in your space. Take it out and make goat milk for them to drink." Xiao Li was in charge of purchasing daily necessities. She clearly remembered that she had bought goat milk when she bought cow's milk.
Qiao Lan looked through the box and found something, so she took out a bag of goat milk powder.
I took out a bottle of purified water, heated the water in the water dispenser, adjusted it to the appropriate temperature, about 30 to 40 degrees, mixed it with milk powder, and fed it to the kitten.
Xiao Li said that it is best for kittens to eat only breast milk before they are one month old. But if breast milk is not available now, goat milk can be used instead.
Milk is not good. Kittens cannot digest it and will have diarrhea and become sick.
The goat milk powder in the space is the kind for humans to drink, not for pets, so it needs to be diluted before feeding.
Don’t feed too much. While feeding, touch the kitten’s belly. If it starts to bulge a little, stop feeding, otherwise it will damage the kitten’s fragile stomach.
"Where did you learn all this? I've never seen you raise a cat." Qiao Lan was deeply impressed by Xiao Li's extensive knowledge.
"I learned this from a cat-raising influencer. If your dream is real, and there's no apocalypse, my dream is to save enough money to open a large pet shop and a veterinary hospital."
Qiao Lan shrugged.
I also hope this is all fake.
If I sleep and find out that everything is just a dream and the world is still functioning normally, I would be willing to invalidate my space.
It's okay for me to waste 30 million to stock up on goods and let those vendors who haven't received the final payment chase me for money!
pity……
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Qiao Lan discovered that after Xiao Li took the kittens one by one to feed them, he dipped a tissue in warm water and tapped the two kittens' butts.
"I'm imitating a mother cat's behavior," Xiao Li explained. "A mother cat will lick this area for her kittens to help them defecate, as their excretion systems aren't fully mature yet. When we raise kittens, we also massage their anuses regularly."
"At the same time, this is also the mother cat cleaning her kittens. Mother cats have a very strong sense of defense and will promptly clean up the kittens' hair, odor, feces and urine to prevent predators from smelling the kittens and attacking them."
"We often think kittens are very clean, and it's all thanks to their mothers. They often lick their kittens' butts to clean off all the feces and urine."
Qiao Lan was surprised: "You mean, the mother cat... eats the kitten's excrement?"
"Yeah, I've seen several bloggers say that. Oh, don't frown, kittens only eat breast milk, so their excrement is very clean. The excrement of human cubs, well, didn't the older generation say that drinking boy's urine can cure diseases? I've even seen old ladies go to families with babies to ask for urine to drink."
Xiao Li's explanation made perfect sense.
Qiao Lan just clicked his tongue.
Forgive her ignorance, but it's really hard for her to accept.
Boom!
When the three of them were busy holding the kitten, there was suddenly a loud noise outside.
The entire basement shook.
Dust fell from the ceiling with a rustling sound.
Snap, clack!
The baffles of several vents rattled.
The violent gust of wind seemed to be about to break through the baffle and rush in.
