Chapter 1113 Scarab

Many cat owners have similar experiences. Their cats go outside to play, and then go home after playing enough. However, it does not come back alone, with insects or small animal corpses in its mouth, such as dragonflies and butterflies. , mice, lizards, and then put the corpse at the feet of the owner as if asking for credit.

Even if cats are kept indoors and never go out, the hunting instinct in the body will not subside. They will use every possible opportunity to hone their hunting skills, and then give their prey to affectionate owners, such as cockroaches.

Even in a house without cockroaches, careful cat owners will find that after raising cats, the number of mosquitoes in the room will be greatly reduced. This is because cats regard mosquitoes as training objects. After the cat catches the mosquito, it will still run to offer it to the owner, but because the mosquito is too small, the owner will often not notice it.

No matter what kind of corpse it is, the owner will probably not be happy when he receives it, especially the girls, who are often so scared by the bloody rat corpses and cockroaches that they turn pale and scream again and again, wondering if their cat is deliberately scaring him, is it It wasn't because I was too violent when I bathed it, causing it to take revenge on myself...

When receiving these prey, the owner often checks whether the cat is not full enough to force it to hunt, and then educates it earnestly not to do so, and even beats or punishes it, warning it not to do it again.

In fact, this really wronged the cat.

When being punished and educated, the cat must be very puzzled, why should his kindness be punished?

What was going on in the cat's mind when it did these things, no one knew for sure.

The bigger possibility is that cats don’t regard humans as their masters at all, but treat humans as another stupid cat, so stupid that it can’t even catch mosquitoes and cockroaches, it needs it to feed humans, and it needs it to catch its prey Come back and give alms to humans, otherwise people will starve to death.

A cat that would do this must have a deep relationship with its owner, because in the eyes of cats, it is a supreme honor for people to treat people as another cat—because cats are solitary animals, they are willing to Sharing space with another stupid cat, and being willing to take on the responsibility of raising this stupid cat, fully shows that although your cat is so stupid, you like it very much.

Therefore, if the cat often gives the owner the prey it catches, this is its true feelings. The owner should not be angry, let alone punish it, otherwise it will make it confused and confused, not knowing what it did wrong, and it will be very serious. hurt feelings.

Assuming that the owner really doesn’t need these dead bodies of mice and cockroaches for dinner, the correct way is to throw the dead bodies of rats and cockroaches outside in front of the cat, then open a bag of cat food, and pretend to eat some to show that they are Although it is a stupid cat, it does not need to feed on mice and cockroaches.

On the contrary, if your cat has never done this before, you need to review your attitude and level of raising cats.

Zhang Zian explained the detailed reasons to Gao Ke with reason and evidence, which made him suddenly realize that cats can really be hunting partners.

Not only Gao Ke, Wei Kang and the other two graduate students also listened with great interest and nodded. Although they study cats, they specialize in the art. They focus on the physiological characteristics and domestication evolution of cats, rather than the psychology of cats. Most importantly, none of them have ever owned a cat themselves.

Gao Ke looked at Fei Na, then at Zhang Zian, and asked with admiration: "I see, then this cat must have brought you a lot of prey, like mice and cockroaches?"

Zhang Zian: "..."

"What's wrong?" Gao Ke noticed that Zhang Zian's face seemed to be constipated.

Although Zhang Zian was well aware of these theories, he recalled it sadly, and found that Fina had never brought him anything, but had taken diamonds and RMB from him...

This further proves that theory does not necessarily connect with practice, and cat sellers are not necessarily good at raising cats.

He forced a smile and said: "Of course, I have brought many things to my mouth! I even brought a dung beetle to me this morning!"

This time it was Gao Ke's turn to look constipated,

He can take cockroaches and rats, but dung beetles...

Zhang Zian suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him, and the two piercing gazes seemed to be fixed on his back, and quickly added: "Dung beetle is just our local common name, and their official name in Egypt is scarab It is said that the ancient Egyptians were puzzled when they saw the sun rising and setting tirelessly every day. They wondered where the power of the sun’s movement came from? Then they saw shit... no, it was scarabs pushing dung balls rolling Rolling around, the eyes suddenly brightened—isn’t this dung ball quite like the sun, all round? So they decided that this sun was also pushed and rolled around by a super huge scarab every day. Look at it Does the forehead look like a scarab pattern?"

The others focused their gazes on Fina's forehead again, and found that the lines on its forehead resembled the scarabs in the ancient Egyptian murals, so they all nodded.

Zhang Zian took a breath, and continued: "So, we are going to Egypt now, it may be its hometown, it has scarab patterns on its forehead, and in the morning it brought another... scarab, I think this seems to indicate What! Probably some auspicious omens, such as collecting books in the belly of a fish, singing a bonfire and the sound of a fox, and singing the rooster, all of which indicate that we will be successful this time! Professor Wei, what do you think?"

Wei Kang was almost dumbfounded by his talk, and after a while he said tactfully: "Well... I think your ideas are good and your intentions are good, but we are engaged in science, and we regard science as the main thing in everything, or It’s better not to talk about these feudal superstitions.”

Zhang Zian was completely driven by the desire to survive just now, except that the legend of the scarab is true, he didn't say a word of truth, but after hearing Wei Kang's words, he felt that Vladimir would be very satisfied, Because this middle-aged intellectual is not superstitious at all, he should be able to win some of its favor.

In addition, the chill from behind finally disappeared, and the piercing sight also disappeared.

Gao Ke noticed his face and reminded: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? I see that you are sweating all over your forehead."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Zian rejoiced for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, wiped his sweat casually, and said with a smile: "There is a lot of luggage and heavy, so I was a little tired and sweated just now, it's okay."

This explanation was far-fetched, but their attention was focused on Fina, and they thought about the cat's habits that Zhang Zian had just told them, so they didn't take it seriously.
