[Extra] Cat Police

The weather is fine now, and the store door is open for ventilation. As soon as Zhang Zian stopped the car, he saw several figures shaking in the store. Not busy.

Seeing Zhang Zian came back, Li Kun hurriedly backed away, trotted to his side, gave him a strange look, and said in a low voice with a sad face: "Master, it's rare for someone to come to buy a cat, but come on, that woman... ..."

Li Kun quietly pointed to a short young woman wearing a red blouse among those few people, "As soon as she entered the door, she kept chattering, saying that the cats in our store are all backyard cats, so those few Personally, don’t buy from our store, if you really want to buy a cat, it’s better to find a cattery with a good reputation on Weibo, look at this..."

Wang Gan also ran over and complained: "Master, some time ago...that is, the period before the confinement was still open for business, didn't you always run around? It is both Egypt and the United States. We are responsible for watching shop, most of the customers are quite talkative, but there are a few customers... the 'backyard cat' who always opens and shuts his mouth, talks non-stop. To make things difficult for you, we didn't mention this... Later, the store was closed for business and there were no customers, so we forgot about it. Now that it has just opened for business, there are people like this coming out coming……"

"I understand." Zhang Zian nodded calmly.

Ordinary people want to buy breed cats, there are only a few main ways, one is to find individual sellers in the second-hand shopping app on the Internet, the other is the flower, bird, fish and insect market or dog market, the third is pet stores, and the fourth is cattery.

The water in the flower, bird, fish and insect market is too deep. No matter cats or other pets, cheap is cheap, but let alone ordinary people, even if ordinary people go there, they will probably be cheated, so be a little more rational No one would choose to buy a cat from there.

Reliable individual sellers are actually good, but we all know that scammers are rampant on the Internet, especially for living things like pets, and the risk of mailing is too high. It is best to find a seller in the same city, who can come to see the cat face to face, pay face to face, and get all the money and the cat.

Why do you have to come to see the cat? Because you can see the parents of the kitten at home, and see the fur color of the parents of the kitten with your own eyes, and you can know the fur color and body shape development of the kitten in the future, especially the puppet cat, which has a long growth period and the hair color will change. For cats that are getting darker, the mask may be brown when you first buy it, but when it grows to three or four years old, the color of the mask is close to black. If you don’t like such a dark mask color, see it in advance The shade of the parent’s coat color is very important—and you must see it with your own eyes. Nowadays, people often record videos with filters on, and the colors are seriously distorted, and the ambient light when recording videos will also affect the visual effect. The beauty in the mobile phone video It's okay to rush casually, if you really lose, let alone a cat that costs real money?

In addition, individual sellers may not necessarily vaccinate kittens, and the sellers cannot trust 100% if they say they have been vaccinated. It is safer to buy them and vaccinate them yourself.

If you can see the kitten living in the same room as its parents when you come to the door, at least there is a certain guarantee in terms of disease sources such as feline distemper, because if the kitten carries the disease source, its parents will certainly carry it. After you buy the kitten, you find that the kitten has feline distemper, and the seller’s kitten’s parents and siblings are all normal, which means that the feline distemper is unlikely to come from the seller, and it is best to find the cause from yourself .

Pet shops and cattery are the main places where breed cats are traded, and the right and wrong between them has always been a hot topic on the Internet. The cattery unilaterally diss pet shop, denouncing it as " Backyard”, but the problem is that the term “backyard” itself was invented by domestic cattery.

There is no corresponding vocabulary in foreign countries. Now the phenomenon on the Internet is that whoever is louder is justified, the party is the same, and once there are different voices, they will attack them. This phenomenon does not only exist in the pet circle, but exists widely in the online world.

But one thing is for sure, the price of the same cat can vary by more than ten times in the flower, bird, fish and insect market, in the hands of individual sellers, in pet stores, and in cattery. The cattery is undoubtedly the most expensive place.

The girl in red said to several other customers: "The cats in this store are unlicensed at first glance. A truly responsible cattery only sells one or two cats. How can it be like this store, like a grocery store?" , all kinds of cats are sold."

Several other customers may not know her, but they just happened to come to the store at the same time.

Some customers listened to her chanting seriously, with expressions on their faces being brainwashed, and some customers were obviously tired of her talking non-stop like a Tang monk, and one of the young boys with vigor said in a choked voice: "I know that too. Those with certificates are good, but those with certificates are expensive, and you will make up for the difference?"

The girl in red was even more excited. If she wasn't wearing a mask, the saliva would spray on his face, "You can't be greedy for cheap, if you really like cats, you have to be responsible for cats. This kind of backyard shop sells Zhou cats. , you will die within a week after buying the cat home, will you lose money or make money by then?"

The boy was so choked by her that he couldn't speak, and seemed a little shaken.

Zhang Zian understood that this girl in red should be the so-called "cat policeman", not a "police cat", but a "cat policeman". , she will criticize anything she doesn't like in the pet circle, but this kind of boring people are usually only active in the online world, which is relatively rare in reality. After all, it is impossible for people who are scolded by her to follow the network cable Kill her, and in the real world, if someone is scolded by her in a hurry, they may beat her up. The cat police are still clear about this.

"By the way, where should I buy it?"

Zhang Zian pretended to be a new customer and asked.

"The cattery! Go to Weibo to find a famous cattery. Although it is more expensive, it is definitely guaranteed!" The red-clothed woman immediately aroused her teacher-oriented side when she saw him humbly asking for advice.

"Then... what's the difference between a pet store and a cattery, besides having a certificate?" He asked again, and glanced at the boy just now, "Similar cats, if the difference is only a certificate and an unlicensed cat, I don't want to pay for a certificate, after all, I don't have enough money now..."

The girl in red said bitterly: "You are wrong! There is a huge difference between those who have a certificate and those who do not! You can never buy a backyard cat like this!"

—————————

Off-topic: Since I started writing this book, when it was about 200,000 words, the number of readers just increased, and sometimes someone left a message in the comment area, saying "the cat in the backyard", "the pet store is the backyard", " Don’t write about opening a pet shop, write about opening a cattery” or something like that.

There are some words that I have long said, but I don't want to quarrel with readers.

First of all, this book is called Pet King, not Elvis, so we can't close the pet shop and open a cattery.

Secondly, is the cattery really the white lotus it looks like? In the next few chapters, let me take a look at the little secrets of the cattery that are not known to outsiders.

This is a book that revolves around science and rationality. I also hope that readers of this book have the ability to think independently and objectively, and not be brainwashed by public opinion.
