Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 172 Taking a Lynx for a Walk
Ever since the lynx leader arrived at the rescue station, the atmosphere here has become increasingly 'outrageous'.

First up is the number one licking cat—Spot.

Every day, it would bring back the freshest pikas, pheasants, and even small fish from who-knows-where from outside, arranging them neatly outside the quarantine area to nourish the boss.

Then came the second cat-licking cat—Little Grey.

Even though her own injuries hadn't fully healed, she would roll over, writhe, and meow in a squeaking sound through the isolation netting, trying her best to be cute and cuddly.

This made Chen Nian extremely angry!

"Little Grey! Don't move! Your wound has reopened!!"

"Do you still want to get better?"

"And you too! Dot!"

"How many times have I told you! No wild animals allowed in the house! What if they carry germs and infect your older sister's wound?!"

The lynx's injury requires at least a month of rest, and the biggest risk is cross-infection.

The Eye of Best cannot see inside its prey to determine whether it carries any strange or unusual viruses or bacteria.

Therefore, to avoid such an unexpected situation, Chen Nian strictly stopped Dian Dian.

However, the exceptionally clever Dian Dian clearly misunderstood.

Watching the boss ruthlessly take away the prey it offered to the big sister time and time again, the little brain came to an astonishing conclusion after careful consideration.

So, Dian Dian arrived a little late the next day.

When Chen Nian heard the scratching sound and opened the door, she was immediately startled by the scene at the doorway.

"Fuck!"

"DianDian, you've arrested this whole family, haven't you?!"

There were three neatly arranged carcasses of pikas lying at the entrance.

Two big and one small.

Beside her, Dian Dian was sitting obediently, carefully licking the fur on its paws. When it saw Chen Nian come out, it raised its little head and gestured to Chen Nian with its eyes that he should not be polite!
This time, there's plenty!

If that's not enough, I'll go get another whole nest!
Chen Nian sighed and reiterated the rule of "no bringing wild game home," while supervising Dian Dian to finish all of its "offerings" on the spot.

Chen Nian's lips twitched as her gaze swept over the slightly wet lower body.

"You didn't go fishing again, did you?"

The diet of wild leopard cats is surprisingly diverse!
It can be said that anything that runs on land, swims in water, climbs in trees, or flies in the sky, as long as it can be caught, will not be let go!

This naturally includes fish.

Videos frequently capture wild leopard cats using their paws to catch fish and crabs in ponds or streams.

Judging from the way Dian Dian looks, she has clearly just finished an underwater operation.

Dian Dian didn't understand what Chen Nian was talking about.

After thoroughly eating the prey that its older brother had "disliked," it wiggled its limbs, shaking off the water, and walked inside on its own.

I should go and pay my respects to the head of the organization.

As Chen Nian watched its retreating figure, and recalling the lynx's increasingly irritable behavior in recent days due to its restricted range of movement, an idea suddenly came to her.

"Perhaps... it's time to take it out for some fresh air."

Perfect timing! The fishing rod he'd been longing for finally arrived today.

The stream by the door is teeming with delicious fish. With a little skill, he could relax and also improve the little ones' diet.

Just do it!

Take advantage of the perfect afternoon sun.

Chen Nian first went to the backyard and brought out the well-behaved and sensible Little Grey.

Little Grey is quite sensible.

Knowing that Chen Nian had saved it, it followed Chen Nian wherever she went, mainly because the kitten food in Chen Nian's hand smelled so good.

It was afraid that if it walked too slowly, all the cat food would be eaten by Didi.

This is a typical case of "being afraid that one's brother is suffering, but also worried that one's brother is driving a Land Rover."

When it came to getting the lynx to "come out of the mountains," the difficulty level skyrocketed.

Given that this guy is wild and untamed and his injuries have not yet healed, he must be leashed when we go out, just in case.

But this big guy has a terrible temper.

Although after a few days of being fed Xiaomi cat food, she had become accustomed to Chen Nian approaching, feeding, and even massaging her. However, the boss still retained her queenly arrogance and temperament. If she was not satisfied with the massage technique, she would get up and leave. Giving her a cold shoulder was a common occurrence for her.

Chen Nian's solution was simple, direct, and effective.

Increase the dosage!

"To wear or not to wear?"

Chen Nian held up the specially made large leash and waved it in front of the lynx.

The lynx turned its head away with an air of superiority and aloofness, showing him the back of its head.

Just kidding! She is the queen of the forest!

What kind of appearance is it to wear a leash? Do you think you're a pet?

"Okay, so you're not going to wear it?"

Chen Nian wasn't annoyed.

With lightning speed, it grabbed a handful of kitten food and shoved it into the lynx's mouth.

Lynx: ? ? ?
It chewed it subconsciously, and then found it more and more delicious as it ate.

Chen Nian kept adding more food to its food.

The more you eat, the more you get!

After finishing her meal, Chen Nian clapped her hands in satisfaction and stood up.

"Little guy, I can't cure you!"

Looking at the lynx, the leash was already on!
Chen Nian's technique was excellent; she not only avoided the lynx's wounds but also prevented it from feeling particularly uncomfortable, at most it would just feel like something was stuck to its body.

Realizing what had happened, the lynx looked annoyed.

Damn!

be cheated!
But since things have come to this, let them come to this.

It's because he gave too much!
The obsession wild cats have with food is unimaginable to domestic cats.

Because they all live hand to mouth.

Unlike now, where people flaunt their food like they're eating at a buffet!
Moreover, the taste of this buffet is comparable to the super-duper delicious Buddha Jumps Over the Wall with a sea view!

Who knew the cat could refuse!

The lynx indicated that it could not refuse.

So, under the overwhelming offensive of Xiaomi cat food, Chen Nian successfully got to leash the lynx.

"Does this count as leading a yellow dog on the left?"

Looking at the majestic big cat beside her, Chen Nian chuckled.

Then, he led the lynx out of the quarantine area, with Dot and Little Grey following behind their leader and boss.

Young Master Xue Aotian was naturally also present.

It takes about two months for a snow leopard cub to walk steadily.

Although Xue Aotian is exceptionally talented, he will still need about a week.

Therefore, Chen Nian specially prepared an upgraded soft and breathable cloth bag for it, and carried it securely in front of her chest as before, making it an SSR-level 'limited edition pendant'.

And so, Chen Nian went out in a grand procession.

He was carrying a snow leopard cub named Xue Aotian in his arms, holding a lynx named Xiao Huihui by the hand in his left hand, and followed by a desert cat named Xiao Huihui and a leopard cat named Diandian by the hand in his left. He was walking leisurely towards the gate of the courtyard.

As a result, they bumped right into Xia Qiyue, who had just returned from a break with her live stream.

The live stream camera accurately captured this scene.

Xia Qiyue: Holy crap!

Cat viewers in the live stream: Holy crap! Holy crap!!
Thompson Hawking: Woohoo!!!

The Chen couple, far away in another city: Holy crap!!!
Tang Rong, who was eating instant noodles and conducting experiments in the lab, glanced up at the live stream room without realizing it.

puff--!
He spat out a mouthful of instant noodles!
"Quick! Call Xiao Chen! This...this is ridiculous!!!"

On the other side, Xia Qiyue looked at Chen Nian's outfit and the long bag on her back, and subconsciously asked, "Chen Nian, are you going for a walk?"

"what."

Chen Nian smiled brightly, as if she were just walking a gentle golden retriever: "Let's take them out for a drive, and maybe go fishing by the stream to give them a treat."

He walked past the stunned Xia Qiyue with complete ease.

He casually took the phone used for the live stream.

"Thank you for your hard work, July. Leave the rest to me."

After saying that, Chen Nian calmly walked towards the shimmering stream not far away.

The cats, both big and small, didn't even glance at Xia Qiyue.

They surrounded Chen Nian as if it were just an ordinary stroll.

Xia Qiyue stood frozen in place for a good five or six seconds before she snapped out of her daze at the extremely shocking scene.

Chen Nian actually kept four wild cats as pets?!
And they're all nationally protected feline species!
If the forestry bureau officials saw this, they'd be terrified!
Xia Qiyue took off chasing after him, shouting as she went:
"Chen Nian! Chen Nian!!"

"I can't make it!"

(That's about it~)

(P.S. Don't forget to vote, meow~)
