It was clean and its paws were neatly trimmed. It could be seen that the owner took good care of it. However, this well-cared-for cat could almost be called painfully skinny, and its coat was also bald in patches. The most distressing thing was that the fur around its eye sockets seemed to have been burned by something. Although it had healed, the bright red flesh had turned out of the eye sockets, which looked shocking. The big eyes that should be beautiful and crystal clear were now foggy and white, with just a little bit of brilliance.
It squatted pitifully on the table, meowing softly.
Several clerks had red eyes on the spot, while Xiao Guan cried and said, “Oh my god, why did it become like this, I saw it appear as a guest at your concert, how healthy and energetic it was at that time.”
Zhang Meimei choked up and replied: “My ex-husband poured corrosive liquid on its face to vent his anger. Although I took him to rescue quickly, he still hurt his eyes. The veterinarian said that his eyesight is only one-tenth of that of ordinary cats.”
“Your ex-husband… God, is he a beast?!”
The shop assistants were indignant. Zhang Meimei forced a smile: “Don’t mention him, I have already sued him, now please look at my Phoebe, I heard that you have a pet therapist hired from abroad?”
Shen Yu asked: “The wound seems to have healed for a long time, and it should be strengthened to take care of the body, why is it so thin now?”
“Since the last injury, Phoebe has suffered from severe anorexia. She doesn’t drink or eat, and slowly lost weight until she became like this.” Zhang Meimei blamed herself, “It’s also my fault that I didn’t take care of it recently, I ran out today without telling the agency, and I was followed unexpectedly…”
Looking at the large group of paparazzi outside, even Shen Yu understood her difficulties, she must have had a hard time during this time.
In order not to waste her time, Shen Yu suppressed the gossip of the shop assistants, and quickly asked about the recent condition of this Garfield with the therapist. It was concluded that it was severely frightened and was currently in a stress response phase with depression and that restoring her calm and appetite was a priority.
“Depression? Stress response?” Zhang Meimei was surprised, “Do cats also have mental illnesses? I always thought it was a joke on the Internet…”
“What doubt do you have about the IQ of cats? They are far smarter than we think.” The therapist said lightly, “Phoebe needs to live in the nursing center, and we will take care of it for you for a period of time, unless you can often accompany it.” Zhang Meimei shook her head. She had been very busy with her ex-husband recently, so she could only nod in agreement in desperation.
She left Phoebe behind and got into her car like a thief. When Shen Yu saw that her car had just driven away, and several cars followed immediately behind her, he let out a sympathetic sigh from the bottom of his heart.
The therapists set out to calm the overwhelmed Garfield.
They let it live alone in a small room full of cushions, played soothing music, and brushed it patiently and gently. The techniques of these therapists were very skilled, and their bodies were contaminated with pet smell all the year round, so Phoebe didn’t resist, and gradually let down its vigilance.
They had been using close and far methods to appease it alternately, but until they got off work, Phoebe still refused to eat, no matter what kind of canned food, snacks, or even delicious dried fish she was offered, she refused to eat even a mouthful.
Shen Yu knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he asked them to leave work on time.
The pet shop had staff on duty at night, but because things were cumbersome in the afternoon, everyone didn’t have time to eat during the handover, so Shen Yu asked the two on duty to look for food first and guarded the shop by himself.
He approached Phoebe’s room with a ball of yarn in his hand to play with it until they came back. Qiao Lingfeng once said that he was particularly popular with pets. It was probably because his peaceful nature radiated from the inside out, without any hypocrisy, so animals liked to stay with him. It was very attractive for children as well, since it was natural like Johnson & Johnson.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Lingfeng really got it right. Phoebe, who hadn’t moved much all afternoon, staggered over after seeing Shen Yu, and pulled the ball of yarn in his hand.
It might be too weak and moved very slowly, but Shen Yu was very patient and played with it slowly for a long time. Gradually, Phoebe let go completely, bit the ball away, and happily trotted on the cushion.
This room was very safe, no matter how noisy it was, it would not be hurt. Shen Yu observed it for a while, and suddenly missed his own Oscar, so he turned on the monitor to see what it was doing.
As a result, he saw that it had fallen asleep heartlessly in the nest, sleeping with its tail sweeping, very comfortable.
Shen Yu smiled slightly and turned to click on the video recorded in the afternoon, but lowered the voice of the phone, for fear of scaring Phoebe who was playing.
“You are my little apple…”
Not long after watching it, a soft meow came from beside Shen Yu’s ears. With difficulty, Phoebe opened his eyes as if she had cataracts, and stared at the phone screen seriously.
The video was short and ended in a while. Seeing that the screen was not moving, it meowed again, stretched out its front paws and waved, as if urging “I still want to watch”.
“…Do you want to watch this?” Shen Yu played it again uncertainly, and Phoebe actually came closer, almost sticking to the screen, and made a rhythmic “meow” sound, which sounded like it was about to say hello to Oscar on screen.
The video was replayed ten times until the clerks who had gone looking for food came back. Each time, Phoebe was very focused and its meow became louder and louder.
“I’ll leave it to you.” Shen Yu said to them, stood up and was about to go out, but Phoebe rushed up suddenly and bit his trouser leg, Shen Yu lifted it back to the cushion, but within two steps, the trouser leg was bitten again.
“Manager Shen, it seems to like you very much, and it doesn’t want you to leave.” The clerk giggled, and his hands didn’t stop, trying to seduce Phoebe with catnip in one hand and a ball of yarn in the other.
As a result, Phoebe didn’t accept her bribe at all, and entangled Shen Yu wholeheartedly. As soon as he would walk away, she would meow anxiously.
The three of them tried hard for half an hour but failed to calm it down. Finally, Shen Yu made a decision.
“I’ll take it home.” At least today they had to let it eat, and Shen Yu was very confident in the cat pilaf he made. The only problem was whether Oscar would rebel or bully Phoebe… But the house was big enough, and one more cat didn’t matter, he just needed to keep an eye on them.
———
Xu Maomao woke up leisurely, opened his eyes and looked, meow! It’s eight o’clock! The male god hasn’t come home yet! What’s the matter? After coming home late for three consecutive days, did he have a meow outside? Don’t love me anymore?
Just as he was getting up from the nest, Shen Yu came back. He was still holding a takeaway cage in his hand, and there was another cat’s breath coming from the cage.
Xu Maomao became nervous, did he really have another cat outside?
Shen Yu didn’t open the cage right away, but came over and stroked him gently as usual, and then hugged him to the mouth of the cage, letting him smell Phoebe.
“Oscar, this is Phoebe, it’s injured, so I brought it back temporarily,” Shen Yu said softly, “It’s just a one-night stay, you can’t bully it, you know?”
The male god look at what you said, as if I could really, it seems understandable, but you are right, I can still understand. Well, since it’s an injured cat, I’ll do what I can and won’t care about you making me hungry by coming back late tonight.
Xu Maomao replied with a small “meow”, Shen Yu carefully identified his voice, and felt that he probably didn’t mind, so he cautiously opened the take-out cage.
Suddenly, an ugly Garfield appeared in front of Xu Maomao.
Originally, a Garfield’s face was big and flat, like a pancake, and it relied on those two drooping watery eyes to enhance its appearance, but now it was better, the blinking big light bulb eyes were off, and it looked a bit ugly and tragic. Xu Maomao took a big step back in fright.
“Meow.” What’s the matter with your eyes…
Phoebe crawled out of the cage, saw Xu Maomao clearly with its dim eyes, and rushed forward excitedly, when Shen Yu thought it was going to attack Oscar, with a plop, its face was buried on the ground, and its claws fluttered on both sides of its head. It looked… very much like paying homage to Oscar…
At the same time, it let out a high-pitched cry: “Meow!”
Its voice was obviously much clearer than other cats, and Xu Maomao understood its meaning without too much effort.
It was saying: Great Cat Fairy, please help me.
Xu Maomao: “Meow?”
Did this meow misunderstand something? Or does it know the original cat fairy?
Seeing this, Shen Yu felt relieved thinking that they had similar scents, and rubbed one with each hand: “Be good, I’ll prepare dinner for you.”
There were only two cats left in the living room, and Phoebe remained in a worshiping posture and refused to get up.
Xu Maomao tentatively said: “Meow.”
Phoebe got up just now, and a suspicious smile appeared on her ugly cat face: “Meow.” Hello cat fairy.
Xu Maomao: “Meow.” I’m not a cat fairy, my name is Oscar.
Phoebe: “Meow.” You have a bell, you are a cat fairy.
