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

Chapter 179 Tibetan Tabby Cat
Under the azure sky, the velvety green meadows stretch along the undulating hillsides into the distance, meeting the majestic snow-capped mountains on the horizon.

A gentle breeze carries the pure scent of earth and grass.

It also stirred the thick, long hair on the bodies of the herds of yaks.

Chen Nian sat on the grass, her eyes slightly closed, enjoying the vastness and tranquility that was hard to find in the city.

"Teacher Chen, are you enjoying the tea? Shall I bring you some more?"

Gesang's wife, Zhuoma, came over carrying a warm copper kettle. Her cheeks were flushed with a healthy rosy glow from the highland sun, and her smile was as bright and clear as the sky here.

"I can drink it, it's so delicious, thank you Sister Zhuoma!"

Chen Nian smiled and handed over the cup.

This was his third cup of fragrant butter tea, and its salty, savory, and mellow flavor made him unable to stop eating it.

As Zhuoma poured tea, she kept thanking Chen Nian for finding the lost yak, which was an important treasure for their family!

This time, Chen Nian did not claim that it was Dian Dian's doing.

I simply smiled and accepted this heartfelt gratitude.

After pouring the tea, Zhuoma returned to the black tent.

Gesang's son, seven-year-old Gesang, slowly rode over on a sturdy yak.

He looked at Chen Nian with curiosity.

Finally, he simply lay down on the back of the docile ox and asked, "Father said you've seen a real snow leopard? And you even keep one as a pet?"

The yak stopped and looked at Chen Nian with Xiao Gesang.

Chen Nian smiled and nodded: "Yes, I've seen quite a few. I even have a little snow leopard at home now!"

As he spoke, he naturally raised his hand and touched the yak's broad forehead.

It feels as solid as it looks.

This scene surprised Xiao Gesang.

You should know that his yak, which has quite a temper, never gets close to outsiders, let alone when an outsider touches it. Instead of flinching, it comfortably shakes its head.

This older brother is indeed as amazing as Dad said!

What does a snow leopard look like?

Little Gesang pressed for an answer.

Her innocent eyes were filled with curiosity about the world.

Chen Nian thought for a moment, then found a photo of herself and Xue Li and showed it to him: "Look, this is the snow leopard mother."

"Then there's Xue Aotian, the little snow leopard."

Little Gesang peeked out and looked.

Finally, he nimbly slid off the cow's back and snuggled close to Chen Nian to look at the photos.

It's clear that Xiao Gesang really likes snow leopards.

Their eyes were wide open, filled with curiosity and longing.

After reading it, Xiao Gesang looked at Chen Nian again: "How did you do that?"

“My father said that snow leopards are very fierce and will bite people, but I have never seen a snow leopard bite anyone. I have never even seen a snow leopard.”

“My father also said that only you can do this kind of thing.”

"Because you are the chosen messenger of Kavaloj."

"Kavalog?" Chen Nian was taken aback.

Little Gesang pointed to a majestic and sacred snow-capped mountain in the distance: "That is Kavalori, our Liangru's mountain god."

The Tibetan word for Xinlong is 'Liangru'.

Chen Nian looked in the direction he was pointing and understood.

He gently shook his head and explained earnestly, "However, I am not an envoy of Cavallor."

“I’m just an ordinary person who knows a lot about felines. I was able to approach the snow leopard because it was injured and needed help. Normally, we should stay away from these wild animals, respect them, and protect ourselves.”

Little Gesang pulled out a piece of tsampa paste from somewhere and took a bite.

He nodded as he ate, saying, "My father said the same thing."

"But I still really like cats."

Chen Nian was surprised to meet another cat lover here, and nodded with a smile: "I like them too, aren't they cute?"

"Yes!" Little Gesang nodded vigorously.

"Much cuter than a groundhog."

"I also have one, but it's not as big as the snow leopard. Well, Rou Rou is the cutest and most capable cat on the whole grassland."

"Oh?"

Chen Nian's eyes lit up.

He hadn't expected that Brother Gesang's family had cats, and he immediately turned his head curiously to look at the tent.

What kind of cat?

"The cutest cat!"

Little Gesang repeatedly emphasized, "Wait a moment."

Then, he stuffed the last bit of tsampa into his mouth and ran back to the black yak-hair tent in the distance.

"Slow down!" Chen Nian shouted from behind.

"fine!"

Only after Xiao Gesang disappeared into the tent did the little yak lying on top of Chen Nian wag its tail, its emerald green eyes gazing at the tall yak beside it, revealing an eager look.

'Chen Nian, I want to ride a cow too, meow~'

Since becoming a physical entity, Xiaomi has shown extraordinary curiosity about everything around her and wants to try everything.

Chen Nian naturally indulged it.

"I'll ask later. I remember you can ride yaks, I think." The materialized Xiaomi couldn't stray too far from Chen Nian, so it had to do everything with Chen Nian.

Chen Nian then turned her gaze to the yaks that were grazing beside her.

I just don't know if I'll be able to ride it.

The yak felt a tightness on its back.

Then, under Chen Nian's amused gaze, he secretly slipped away.

Soon, Little Gesang ran out again, but this time he had a fluffy little thing in his arms.

"Here, this is Rou Rou."

He proudly held the meat up in front of Chen Nian.

"Oh! It's a little tabby cat?"

Chen Nian smiled as she looked at the tabby cat named Rou Rou.

This is an adult tabby cat with classic tiger stripes, smooth and shiny fur, and strong muscles. It looks like a skilled mouse catcher!
The hair on the cheeks is slightly longer.

Chen Nian speculated that it also had some desert cat genes.

A flash of golden light appeared, and Chen Nian nodded to himself as he looked at the information on the panel.

Indeed, 30% of their genes are from the desert cat.

Hybridization is not uncommon in Tibet; you could say that any cat you pick out has some wild feline traits.

Addressing the issue of genetic pollution is a long and arduous task.

'what? '

After closing the panel, Chen Nian suddenly heard Xiaomi make a soft "hmm" sound.

'Chen Nian, something's wrong with this cat, meow!'

Chen Nian's gaze instantly turned serious.

He carefully examined the fleshy eyes.

Best's Eye can only show the cat's physical condition, but not its mental state.

really.

Chen Nian saw panic and vigilance in Rou Rou's eyes!
If it weren't for its little owner holding it up, it probably would have broken free and run far away long ago!
If you're talking to someone else, it's perfectly normal for a chubby person to act like this.

After all, felines are inherently shy.

But this person is Chen Nian, so that's not normal!

It's not that Chen Nian is narcissistic.

Instead, his 30 points of feline intimacy with his cat is no less than a walking catnip when applied to a house cat; it would be considered a sign of a cat's modesty if it didn't come up and rub against him.

Something's clearly wrong with this kind of meat!
"Meatball, what's wrong?"

Xiao Gesang also felt that the cat in her arms was not as soft and relaxed as usual, but rather like a fully drawn bow.

When he usually holds Rou Rou, Rou Rou hangs softly in the air like a noodle.

But now you can clearly feel its tense body.

My posture isn't as relaxed as it used to be!

"Are you afraid of your big brother?" Xiao Gesang glanced at Chen Nian.

Chen Nian slowly shook her head, her expression solemn.

"No, it's not afraid of me, it's afraid of something else."

The fact that a Tibetan tabby cat could be so nervous immediately brought several possibilities to Chen Nian's mind.

'Chen Nian, come closer.'

Chen Nian squatted down and slowly approached Rou Rou, who was so nervous that she had to open her mouth to breathe.

Best's Body activated!
The transparent white cat bell at her waist swayed gently!
Little Mimi also stretched out her little white paws and gently patted her chubby head.

"It's okay, it's okay."

With triple reassurance, Rou Rou's tension subsided at a visible speed, and her pupils, which had been vertical, returned to a full moon shape.

My whole body went limp, like a giant noodle.

Little Gesang waved his hand.

Its chubby body swayed along with it.

"The meat is ready!"

Meow~
Rou Rou looked at Chen Nian and let out a soft, sweet cry.

Chen Nian smiled and scratched the little guy's chin.

Then he instructed Xiao Gesang: "From now on, you should always hold Rou Rou."

The succulents feel safer with their little owners around.

"Okay." Little Gesang nodded vigorously.

Then, under Chen Nian's guidance, Xiao Gesang held Rou Rou in his arms and let it rest on his shoulder, which is the correct way to hold a cat.

Then Chen Nian stood up and walked quickly toward the black tent with a solemn expression.

He planned to talk to Gesang.

Whatever might be causing your succulent to become stressed, you need to find it out as soon as possible!

Behind them, Little Gesang and Rou Rou's heads were pressed tightly together.

He muttered quietly.

"Big brother is really amazing!"

Meow!

(Remember to eat well~ And remember to vote, meow~)
