Chapter 670: Disturbance

On New Year's Eve, there is a tradition of keeping up with the new year. The whole family stays together all night until the dawn of the new year shines through the window. This is the completion of the ceremony of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. .Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ.

Of course, not sleeping at night is bad for your health. Few modern people really stay up all night on purpose.

In fact, before midnight, Fina, Snow Lion, Richard and Feimas fell asleep one after another, only Laocha, Xinghai and π were still very energetic.

Old Tea had just drank two cups of hot tea, and the caffeine in the tea made him feel no sleepiness at all. He hoped to have a complete modern New Year, lying in front of the TV and watching the "Spring Festival" Gala.

Xinghai played very excitedly with the kittens and didn't sleep for a while.

π was overly excited because of the unexpectedly good grades, and refreshed the author's background over and over again, getting more and more energetic.

Zhang Zian did all the work in the store today, and took the elves out to play, and accidentally dug a deep pit to bury the dog. Although he didn't feel it at the time, the fatigue accumulated in his body now The child rushed up, and it was not yet zero, so he sat by the table and supported the table to take a nap.

Boom!

A giant fireworks bomb exploded not too far away, waking Zhang Zian awake.

Although guns are banned in the city, some people will still secretly set off fireworks with a fluke mentality, especially on New Year's Eve, thinking that I am not the only one setting it off anyway, so I must not be caught.

He wiped his face and looked around.

Most of the elves were already asleep, but just like him, they were awakened again by this giant fireworks bomb. Xinghai went back to the crib and lay down, Laocha yawned and turned off the TV, and walked back to the second floor.

π stared at the screen, and the light from the screen was reflected in the non-prescription lenses of the pince-nez.

The giant fireworks bombs sounded like a trumpet, and the general attack of fireworks and firecrackers was blown. In an instant, deafening firecrackers came from all directions on the outskirts of Binhai City, some of which came from the city. In the old district.

Zhang Zian didn't need to look at his watch, he knew that it was about zero o'clock, and it was another year to end the old and usher in the new.

"π, go to sleep." He whispered, "Don't sleep too late, you won't have the energy to write tomorrow."

π nodded, turned off the computer as promised, and jumped into the rattan chair in the hanging basket. It didn't close its eyes, and stared at the ceiling with a silly smile on the corner of its mouth.

Zhang Zian is also ready to sleep,

He will probably still be alone in the shop tomorrow.

He turned off the light and was about to lie down when he saw two pairs of eyes lit up in the darkness at the same time, one pair of green and one pair of burnt yellow.

"Zian, what's the sound?" Old Cha asked suspiciously, "Did you hear that?"

Zhang Zian was taken aback for a moment, he had just woken up from a nap, and he hadn't cleared his mind yet. He listened carefully, but heard nothing.

Fina looked at the wall, behind the wall was the shoe store next door, "It seems that... those cats are about to give birth..."

What?

It took half a second for Zhang Zian to understand what Fei Na meant, that those Abyssinian female cats placed next door were about to give birth to kittens?

Female cats generally don't want to be disturbed when they give birth to kittens, so he prepared a quiet delivery room for them to wait for delivery. Having said that, no one knows exactly when they will give birth, including the female cat herself.

These female cats are all first-time mothers with no experience, and Zhang Zian is also experiencing the process of giving birth to cats for the first time. Yes, his family used to run a pet shop, but the pets in the shop are all imported from outside, and they have not bred by themselves. Pass.

What he is most worried about is, what if these female cats are not sexual enough and suffer from "eat food"?

As a female cat for breeding, the female cat who has successfully given birth to one litter is often the most valuable, because it can prove that it can give birth and has no child eating habit.

The causes of subephagy are very complex and are not yet fully understood. It is not only cats that may do this, but other domestic pets such as dogs, hamsters, and rabbits may also do it.

It is generally believed that this is because the female animal was disturbed during breeding, or found that the newborn cubs were congenitally stunted or suffering from a certain disease through smell or touch, so they decided to ignore or refuse to take care of the cubs , and even push it out of the nest and let it fend for itself. In severe cases, in order to supplement the physical strength lost during childbirth, it will even eat stunted or sick cubs.

Strictly speaking, this is not cruelty, but the survival instinct formed by animals through the survival of the fittest under the harsh conditions of nature. Even if they are domesticated by humans, they are still partially preserved. In order to ensure their own survival and to allow healthy cubs to eat more 'milk', they can only weed out the weak cubs.

The problem, however, is that females who are first-time mothers are inexperienced, and they may misjudge the health of their young, and may eat healthy young as if they had a congenital disease.

Even cubs with congenital diseases and dysplasia can actually survive and even grow up healthy with the help of humans, but animals don't know this, and the pain and tension during childbirth make them even more Follow your instincts a lot.

On the other hand, there are still a very small number of female cats who eat their cubs not because they judge that the cubs are suffering from congenital diseases, but because they simply want to eat. This is a typical lack of female 'sex'.

According to statistics, when cats give birth for the first time, the survival rate of kittens and cubs is the lowest, which is because female cats are inexperienced. If you can survive the first birth, the survival rate of kittens and pups will increase steadily, peak at the fifth birth, and then decline rapidly from the sixth birth. As long as it is a breeder with a little conscience, it is generally not allowed to breed cats more than five times.

Fortunately, the cannibalism of cats and dogs is not as serious as that of hamsters and rabbits, which may eat the whole litter of cubs if they disagree. When Zhang Zian heard that Little Celery and the others were going to try to breed hamsters next semester, he secretly kept this in his heart and planned to remind them at the right time, otherwise if they made a mistake, they would be hated forever, and Little Celery and the others would definitely Very sad.

Hearing what Fina said, Zhang Zian immediately lost his drowsiness, and thought of the Abyssinian cats next door who were about to give birth.

In order not to disturb their production, he bought a baby monitor from the Internet. The transmitting end is placed in the cat's delivery room, and the receiving end is placed in his bedroom, so as to keep track of their status at any time and prevent accidents.

Just now, Lao Cha and Fina heard the abnormal noise from the baby monitor, and thus judged that the Abyssinian cat might be about to give birth. Maybe it was caused by the shock of the giant fireworks bomb just now.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zian hurriedly put on his clothes, "Go to bed first, I'll go to the next door to have a look."

Fina jumped down from the princess' bed, "I'm going too."
