Chapter 50 "SuSu's Private Car, Always at Your Service..."
I visited a stray animal rescue center.
There was a cell phone on the desk, playing the second episode of a compilation video of catching cats.
At the beginning of the video, a familiar red packaging bag comes into view, and Colonel Sanders smiles at the camera.
But upon closer inspection, there were two suspicious small holes in the bag.
As soon as the packaging bag was removed, a large white cat was visible.
Its eyes were unfocused, tears welled up in its eyes, its pink tongue hung crookedly from the corner of its mouth, and it was limp like a cat pancake, completely unconscious.
A fair hand gently lifted its chin, revealing two pointed little front teeth.
The spacing between the teeth and the position of the two small holes on the bag match perfectly.
[Master Qingtang! His discerning eye is unparalleled!]
[I told you, these people who steal takeout are inhuman!]
[What if the kitten ordered its own food?]
Life's tough, eating chicken and burgers every other day.
[Mi: We are all living life to the fullest.]
Su Cheng's voice-over rang out, and the subtitles appeared simultaneously: "The fried chicken thief, Miao Zhantang, has been brought to justice! Given its good attitude in admitting its guilt and the fact that it went astray in order to make a living, it has been specially invited to become the first beneficiary of the 'Mu Yi Cheng Zhou' Egg Project, and is presented with a deluxe sterilization gift package!"
The original word "victim" in the subtitles was crossed out and replaced with "beneficiary".
[With a few words and a laugh, the enemy's ships and forts were reduced to ashes and annihilated]
[Egg Slaughter Party]
[I suggest that all cases of stealing takeout food be judged according to this standard from now on!]
[There was also a little stray kitten; I'll tag it for you.]
The scene changes, and Miao Xiangyu is affectionately rubbing her head against Miao Zhantang, carefully grooming its fur, her eyes so tender they seem to stretch into silk.
At this moment, Miao Zhantang's pale green cat eyes held only a clear, detached emptiness, as if he had seen through the illusions of the world. His former worldly desires, along with his crucial tool for committing the crime, had vanished forever.
[The ex-husband who is willing but unable]
Some people are watching the spectacle, while others are looking at themselves in the mirror.
[The Princess and Her Su Peisheng]
[Wife, I can't win anymore]
Behind the loving couple, four almost identical kittens lay neatly, enjoying their specially prepared kitten meals.
A special application form was posted on the wall, with black and white text stating:
"After careful consideration, I am willing to exchange two testicles for six long-term meal tickets at the rescue station. I hereby apply for sterilization surgery without any regrets."
There is also a striking red cat paw print in the lower right corner.
[Miao Zhantang enters the game himself, and with one move, he wins against fate by half a step.]
[The cat is upset: Do you think I did the right thing?]
[One cat loses its egg, the whole family gains enlightenment]
[The main package is suspected of being manipulated by capital.]
"Thanks to the fans for their brainstorming, this litter of calico kittens now has names."
Su Cheng picked up the kitten wearing a mini Elizabethan collar. After applying eye drops, the inflamed eyes were able to open normally, and the redness and swelling had subsided considerably.
“This is Fu Fu, our only kitten.” She held the kitten up to the sunlight. “Her name has ‘fu’ in it, so she’s sure to have a lot of good fortune in the future.”
She reached out and scooped up the kitten with a tuft of hair sticking up on its head. It pressed the mechanism itself, walking right into the trap.
"It's quite clever; it knows it can get free food and water at the rescue center. It's a wise little cat, so we named it Zhizhi."
She smiled and picked up the two kittens again, first holding the one with the white fur on its left ear and shaking it, "This is 'Nian Nian'."
Then he held up the other one with white fur on its right ear, saying, "This is 'TieTie'."
They were caught in the same cat cage and were inseparable all day long.
How did Susu manage to recognize all the identical kittens?
[We didn't even realize we called it the wrong name /sweating soybean.jpg]
[Princess Tie is foolish, but truly beautiful]
[One cat took it four times]
In just a short while, the kittens wolfed down the milk cake in their bowls.
Su Cheng tapped the empty bowl, the bottom of the ceramic bowl making a crisp clinking sound. "No wonder even his own parents couldn't afford to raise him, and he had to resort to petty theft to make a living."
She slammed the bowl down on the table, put her hands on her hips, and looked at the kitten rolling around on the floor. "From today onwards, a 996 work schedule will be implemented! You all have to be self-reliant and earn your own food through your own abilities! The rescue station doesn't take in idle cats!"
When I arrived, they only said that meals and accommodation would be provided, they didn't say anything about having to work.
[No one will support my lofty ambitions; I'll just eat my fill and go to work.]
The 996 work culture has even reached the cat world.
[With a positive attitude and hard work, the boss will win a Ferrari]
A demo window pops up in the center of the screen, which is the "Furry Team" mini-program newly developed by the rescue station.
The homepage displays neatly arranged ID photos of all the cat employees on duty, and clicking on them will take you to their "debut stage" performance.
Below each kitten's avatar is a pink paw button. A simple tap allows you to pay to support them, unlocking exclusive daily videos and becoming a "cloud shareholder." The system regularly tallies the support value, and popular kittens not only receive treats but also have the opportunity to appear on camera and do commercial gigs.
Users can accumulate love points every time they give a shout-out, and these points can be redeemed for adorable merchandise in the exclusive store, such as limited-edition items like custom cat paw notebooks and cat photo albums.
After introducing the functions of the mini-program, Su Cheng turned the topic back to the main point and carefully explained the precautions for adopting stray cats.
"First of all, congratulations! You're no longer a wild person without a cat! But don't rush to kiss and hug it, because stray kittens may carry feline distemper or parasites, which can not only infect native cats but also affect human health. To be on the safe side, it's best to take it to the vet for a full check-up first."
She explained the medical examination items and basic costs in detail, and also thoughtfully reminded beginners how to avoid being ripped off.
“Stray cats live outdoors for a long time and usually have fleas on them, so you must treat them for fleas first.” Su Cheng said as she picked up the flea spray. “If you think the hospital charges too much, it will be cheaper to buy the medicine yourself.”
She waved the spray in her hand and showed it to the camera, saying, "This Baydi insect repellent spray is especially suitable for external deworming of cats and dogs. It's cheap, comes in a large quantity, and is very effective. Click the little yellow cart below to buy it."
"Now let's do a practical demonstration." She glanced at the row of round cat-eye eyes in front of her. "Who wants to take on this project?"
Seeing that the kittens were unmoved, she took out a bag of freeze-dried chicken, tore open a corner of the packaging, and said, "The first one to cooperate with the filming will be rewarded with ten freeze-dried chicken pieces! Eat one today, and the remaining nine will be distributed over two months."
Smelling the aroma of freeze-dried food, the clever Zhizhi was the first to rush out, walking forward with elegant cat steps.
Su Cheng smiled and picked it up and put it on the table, then winked helplessly at the other kittens, "If you don't do it, there are plenty of other kittens who will."
[Oh no, this person actually had a job.]
Even if it kills me, I'll still drag my colleagues down with me.
[Mi: She looks like she's doing Hello Kitty me.]
[Hey, I'm very unhappy to serve you.]
Zhizhi lay obediently on the brand-new diaper pad, her big, round eyes staring at the camera with curiosity, completely unaware of what was about to happen.
"The first step is to prepare a kitten covered in fleas. If you don't have one at home, you can refer to the previous video and catch one from the green belt."
As she spoke, she evenly sprayed the flea spray onto Zhizhi's body. "The second step is to quickly wrap the kitten in a pee pad after spraying the flea spray." "Fleas will scatter when they are stimulated, so you need to wrap the kitten up like this in time."
"The last step," she said deftly, securing the diaper pad with tape. "Just keep it in this position for 20 minutes!"
As she spoke, she held up Zhizhi, who was wrapped up with only her head sticking out, and exclaimed, "Ta-da! A cute sesame milk ice cream cone is ready!"
...
Wendy held up her phone, comparing the image of Zhizhi on the screen with the real Zhizhi lying on her desk. In just half a month, it had clearly grown a lot.
Kittens under three months old grow the fastest, changing almost every day.
Su Cheng compiled the cat-catching tutorial clips from the live stream and the second episode of the popular science video into a collection called "Beginner's Guide to Cat Rescue". It includes real rescue cases and practical professional advice, making it especially suitable for beginners who want to help stray cats.
Many viewers couldn't resist after watching the show and immediately took home the stray cat they had been eyeing for a long time.
As the video gained popularity, the number of visits to the mini-program also increased significantly.
Many kind-hearted netizens who were temporarily unable to adopt cats chose to support the rescue station's furry team through "virtual cat adoption," bringing stable income to the rescue station, which was originally short of funds, and its operation gradually improved.
Su Cheng rubbed Fu Fu's head. Its eyes had healed. Its left eye was a light green, and its right eye was as blue as lake water. It was a rare heterochromatic calico cat.
"Sister Wen, how's the negotiation with Huiju going?" She looked up at Wendy.
The kittens at the rescue center grew up day by day, and before they knew it, several litters of kittens had reached the age where they needed to find new homes.
Remembering the poor results of the hastily organized adoption event last time, Su Cheng learned her lesson. After confirming the time and location, she planned to promote the event on her video account a week in advance to generate buzz for the offline adoption event.
Wendy typed a few quick words on her phone, then suddenly looked up excitedly, "They said they can help us secure a venue for the National Day holiday!"
"That's great!" Su Cheng's eyes lit up.
The shopping mall was crowded during the National Day holiday, and the weather forecast showed that the weather would be perfect during those days, neither too hot nor too cold, and there would be no strong winds or heavy rain.
Recalling the last adoption event, Su Cheng unconsciously thought of Jiang Muzhou.
Without hesitation, he stood in front of her, shielding her from danger.
Even now, the scars on my arms and back are still vivid in my mind.
“Let’s use cat carriers this time,” Su Cheng suggested. “With volunteers looking after them, it’s both safe and convenient for interaction. The tabletops in the cat virtue display area should also be widened and protective railings should be installed to prevent visitors from touching them at will.”
With the venue confirmed, Wendy gathered the volunteers from the shelter and began preparing for the offline adoption event in earnest.
Some people planned the site setup, some designed promotional posters, and others were responsible for perfecting the adoption agreement terms.
Su Cheng designed an interactive check-in activity, using photos of "outstanding cats" who were successfully adopted from the rescue station as a background wall. Participants could take photos, check in, and collect 10 likes with the hashtag "Adopt, Don't Shop" to receive a free limited-edition cat refrigerator magnet.
As autumn arrives, the days grow shorter and shorter.
It wasn't until a chill crept up her arms that Su Cheng realized it was almost dark.
She leaned back in her chair, watching the twilight gradually creep past the windowpane, blurring the shadows of the trees in the courtyard into indistinct black shapes.
A black Land Rover had stopped not far away at some point.
The phone suddenly vibrated. Su Cheng answered the call, and a laughing voice came from the receiver.
"SuSu Chauffeur Service, always at your service."
Author's note: It's almost the end of the month, does anyone have any nutrient solution that's about to expire that I can give to my sick kitten? [hugs][hugs]
