Chapter 1554: Tabby

It was not normal for many pet cats to appear in the depths of the primeval forest, and it was even more unbelievable that these cats appeared in the form of death, which had an invisible impact on the thinking of Zhang Zian and the other elves. They knew that some cats and canines would engage in senseless killings, so they preconceived that the four cats that died were also the result of senseless killings.

But what if not?

As a bird, Richard is always in a calm and objective third-party perspective, and he always likes to have a big mouth. Even if he says something wrong, others will not have a worse impression of him.

If it is not a senseless killing, there must be an internal reason for the beast to choose to kill the four cats.

Famous serial killers in history, such as Jack the Ripper, did not choose their victims randomly. Forensic experts can find some common characteristics from the victims to predict their future targets, and send police officers to act as the victims. Ordinary people who meet the characteristics, lure killers into their own nets.

Zhang Zian admitted that Richard did point out his blind spots in his thinking, but even so, this does not mean that Richard's conjecture is correct, everything must be based on facts.

In addition, if the ferocious beasts really selectively attack their targets, doesn't that mean...it or they have certain intelligence and thinking ability?

Fortunately, since he met the second dead cat, he took photos of the dead cat. He didn't think much about it when he took the photo. He just thought it was strange, and it was easy to take a few photos. The unintentional move has now come in handy.

Even if it was the first hybrid Maine Coon that was not photographed, he still had a deep impression, and he still remembered it clearly in his mind. After all, the visual impact brought by the first one was not small.

When it comes to cats and dogs, Zhang Zian is more or less a professional among ordinary people. He quickly browsed through the three photos in the album and the one in his mind a few times, and he really found out some kind of common ground.

Among the four cats, there are mixed breed cats, purebred cats, male cats and female cats. They are all adults, but they are different in age. There is no similarity in these aspects. The common point is that they are all tabby cats. Cat.

Tabby cats cover a wide range, including a total of five typical coat colors.

To be specific, tabby cats not only include cat breeds that people immediately think of, such as American short cat and raccoon cat, but also include many unexpected cat species, such as the pure color Abyssinian cat and the relatively rare Maine Coon cat in China. , Norwegian Forest Cat, etc. are all tabby cats. Of course, the Egyptian cat, the ancestor of tabby cats, must also be included, as are many native cats. Overall, tabby cats account for about 80% of all domestic cats.

Abyssinian cats are classified as tabbies. It may be difficult to understand. This is because their multiple layers of coat color are equivalent to tabby. In addition, although their bodies are solid colors, the markings on their foreheads can still be seen.

As long as the forehead, tail, and limbs can be seen with lines or circles of stripes, it can generally be regarded as a tabby cat. "Tiger cat" is not a cat species, but a coat color characteristic.

In short, if you see a cat on the street and say it is a tabby cat, the correct rate is 80%, which is not bad.

There are probably only a few pure-color cats such as Snow Lion and Vladimir that do not really belong to tabby cats.

Westerners think that the temper of tabby cats is more strange, elusive, and self-contained. They also specially created a word tabbitude with the English tabby of tabby as the root to describe the temper of tabby cats, but in fact this is nonsense. If Tabby cats, which account for 80% of the total number of domestic cats, are eccentric. Perhaps the real eccentricity is that the remaining 20% ​​are non-tabby cats. After all, the minority obeys the majority.

These four dead cats are all tabby cats, which is not very unusual in terms of probability. It stands to reason that it is a bit far-fetched to regard this as a common feature-for example, in terms of human beings, adult women killed by serial killers, All of them wore heavy or light makeup and sprayed more or less perfume, which is very normal in modern society, as long as they don’t use the same lipstick number or the same perfume,

It is difficult to count as a common feature.

Zhang Zian knew this, but still thought it was a common feature, because the common feature was not their tabby identity, but a certain detail on their tabby pattern.

After quickly browsing through the photos several times, he selected several photos where their facial features could be clearly seen, and gathered them together to slow down and take a closer look.

The elves were of no help, staring at his movements and manner with half-curious, half-suspicious eyes.

He put down his phone, pondered for a moment, and said to the elves: "Richard is right, these four cats seem to have some common characteristics."

"Did you hear that? Is my uncle powerful? Do you admire me very much?"

Richard was triumphant. If it hadn't been dark and caused night blindness, it would definitely fly three times in the sky as a celebration, and then make a lot of noise to let every elf know that it was its credit.

When I met these four dead cats during the day, the elves were all around, but no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't think of anything in common between these four cats.

Zhang Zian's eyes fell on the foreheads of Lao Cha and Fei Na one after another, staring for a moment and then looked away.

Lao Cha touched his forehead inexplicably, thinking that there was something dirty.

"Zian, what are the characteristics?" Femas asked impatiently. It saw that the cat elves were hesitant to speak because of the close relationship, so it asked for them.

Zhang Zian pointed to his forehead, then took the mobile phone in his hand, and swipe the close-up photos of the heads of the three cats one by one for them to see, signaling them to pay attention to the foreheads of the three cats.

"Quack! What the hell is it? Don't bully me and see it!" Richard shouted.

"Brindle?" Femas asked suspiciously.

Yes, all three cats have longitudinal markings on their foreheads, like many cats do.

Zhang Zian nodded, and stared at Lao Cha and Fei Na again, "Look again and compare, are the spots on the foreheads of Old Master Cha and Fei Na the same as those of these three cats?"

The other elves shook their heads from side to side, looking at Laocha and Fina's foreheads for a while, and looking at his mobile phone screen for a while.

Gradually, they seemed to see something different, but they couldn't describe what it was.

Old Cha felt terrified, and said with a wry smile, "Zian, is it because the old man is different from His Majesty, or are those three... no, those four cats different?"

Zhang Zian pondered and said: "It's not that different, it's just two different lines of lines—Master Cha, the lines on your and Fina's foreheads are like scarab patterns, but the lines on the foreheads of the four cats are more like It’s M type.” 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
