My Cartoonist Girlfriend

Moreover, even Eriri was aroused by Kasumigaoka Utaha, and the two of them were discussing things with great interest.

However, in Asakura Kaede's opinion, after all the discussions, it still depends on whether they like the cat well.

Although I called the store before and was told that there were indeed three little leopard cats there, and I also saw photos of them, there was still a difference between the photos and what I actually saw, and I couldn't tell the cats' personalities.

Like the one adult and two children in Asakura Kaede's family, the cat mother Camilla is becoming more and more elegant. She is no longer as lively as when she first came to the family, but has become more stable.

Although the other two little ones are relatively lively, when they are held, they will still be very obedient and let Asakura Kaede and Eriri hold them, and will not move around.

But some cats are different. They look very beautiful in photos, but when you actually see them, they may not let you hold them at all and will run away when they see people.

Amidst the pleasant and lively discussion, the three finally arrived at the agreed pet shop, a large pet shop with two floors located in a luxurious area.

After parking the car and pushing the door open, the pet shop owner, who was in her early thirties and dressed fashionably, came over, holding a ragdoll cat and said, "Welcome, we've been waiting for you. Didn't you bring your cat with you today?"

This is the place where Kaede Asakura and her friends bring their cats for grooming. A lot of cat food and toys are bought here, so I got to know the proprietress and we have a pretty good relationship.

"No, there are three of them. It would be tiring to carry them all."

Shaking her head, Eriri introduced Kasumigaoka Utaha to the proprietress.

Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha, the lady boss smiled and said, "She's a very pretty girl, but I didn't expect you to want to keep an ocelot. Usually girls like you prefer ragdolls or folded-ear cats."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the ragdoll cat in the proprietress's arms and replied, "Actually, a ragdoll cat is fine, but in my heart, the leopard cat has a higher priority."

"Okay, let's take a look. The three little guys are all active."

After saying that, the proprietress handed the ragdoll cat in her arms to the clerk beside her and walked in with the three of them.

There are many pets in the store, including cats and dogs, hamsters, parrots and the like. Asakura Feng even saw two little pigs sleeping in cages.

When seeing these two little things, Asakura Feng couldn't help but think of the news that popped up from time to time on the Internet about people buying fake fragrant pigs.

When I first bought it, I couldn't tell the difference. It looked so cute and tender. But after a year or two, it grew to a size that could take up all the sofas in my home, and even crush a sofa of poor quality.

Looking at the proprietress, Asakura Feng couldn't help but ask, "Is this little fragrant pig the kind that will never grow up?"

As soon as these words came out, the proprietress didn't know what Asakura Feng meant. She glared at him and said, "This is a regular store!"

Ying Lili laughed and said, "Hehe, Feng Jun must have thought of the news about those people who bought fake fragrant pigs."

As he said that, he leaned over to take a look. It was quite cute.

The lady boss explained, "There are indeed stores like that, but you don't have to worry about that kind of thing happening here. Many celebrities have bought pets from me. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to survive. Okay, this is it."

Standing still, the three men saw the leopard cats in the three cages in front of them.

Pet leopard cats actually refer to Bengal leopard cats. Others are naturally wild leopard cats, which cannot be kept as pets.

The three little guys in front look like kittens. They are not very big in size, and their leopard spots are all brown, not other relatively rare colors.

After seeing the people coming, the three little guys were not nervous. Instead, they looked at everyone curiously without shouting.

The lady boss introduced: "These three have just arrived at my store. They are all over three months old, and the oldest will be four months old in two days. Their appearance and physique are all very good. I also have the information of their parents and their grades, so they can be found. Although they are not competition grade, they are not much worse. The most important thing is that these little guys are not afraid of people and are very affectionate."

Listening to the proprietress's words, Kasumigaoka Utaha moved closer and watched curiously from a close distance.

Looking at them one by one, although none of the three little leopard cats showed any fear of people, there were some subtle differences between them.

When the first and third ones saw Kasumigaoka Utaha, they just observed curiously and did not do anything special. The first one even turned around and lay down after watching for a while.

Only the second one, a little female cat, took the initiative to walk forward when she saw Kasumigaoka Utaha approaching, moved her nose through the cage, stretched out her claws to scratch the cage, and meowed, as if she wanted to play with the other party.

After looking at all three, Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze returned to the second leopard cat.

The lady boss smiled and said, "It seems that this little girl likes you very much. Do you want to let her come out and interact with you?"

"Uh-huh!"

Utaha Kasumigaoka nodded quickly and watched the proprietress open the cage, take the little guy out and put it in Utaha Kasumigaoka's arms.

Because she had experience holding a cat before, Kasumigaoka Utaha was not at all unfamiliar and held the cat in her arms skillfully.

Being hugged by a stranger whom he met for the first time, this little leopard cat was really not afraid at all. He even rubbed his little head against Kasumigaoka Utaha's body, and it seemed that he liked the smell of the other person very much.

Eriri came to Kasumigaoka Shiyu, looked at the cat in her arms and said, "It's very cute, and it doesn't resist being held. Shiyu, how do you feel?"

Scratching the kitten's chin, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the proprietress and said without hesitation, "She's the one!"

"Meow~~~~"

I have to say, he was really decisive and didn't hesitate at all.

During this period, Asakura Feng remained silent. He used the information he had found about leopard cats to observe and found that it was indeed a very good kitten, so he did not stop Kasumigaoka Utaha from making such a quick decision.

In fact, it is understandable. After all, once you meet someone you like, there is really no need to hesitate too much.

The proprietress was also not surprised. She had run the pet shop for many years and had encountered hesitant customers, but she had also seen many customers like Kasumigaoka Utaha who made a decision directly after seeing a pet they liked.

She smiled and nodded: "Okay, then bring this little guy with me, I will handle the formalities for you."

Chapter 528 The Cat’s Name (2/2)

Kasumigaoka Utaha had already heard Eriri ask about the price of the cat and other things, so she knew it very well and didn't need to ask again.

Moreover, as a pet shop located in a luxurious area, the owner will naturally not try to cheat money from a mere cat. Only a stable customer base can keep the store going.

For example, although Asakura Kaede and Eriri did not buy their pets in her store, they had already spent a lot of money on cat care, cat food, toys, etc., and they were considered high-quality customers. Now that the relationship was well maintained, they introduced another customer to her, which was what the boss lady wanted to see the most.

Soon, the formalities were completed, a bunch of cat food and supplies were selected, and the money was paid, and Kasumigaoka Utaha officially became a cat owner.

Although it cost a lot of money, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't feel bad at all, and she swiped the card very quickly. Obviously, she really liked this kitten.

Asakura Kaede and Eriri also picked out some canned cat food and new toys for their cats, and made an appointment to bring their cats here for care next month.

After strolling around the store for a while and looking at the store's treasure, the alpaca, which was located in the backyard of the store, the three of them said goodbye to the proprietress and drove back.

Putting the cat's cage on her legs, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the well-behaved little guy in the cage and felt extremely happy.

Ying Lili beside her smiled and said, "This little guy is only three months old. You have to be careful when taking care of him, okay?"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, "I plan to take her home to live these days, after all, I still have to go to school. When she grows up a little bit, I will bring her to live in the apartment, and then I can ask the three of you to help me take care of her. Well... those three of you shouldn't bully cats, right?"

"I'm really not sure about that." Eriri was undecided and looked at Asakura Kaede who was driving the car. "Kaede-kun, what do you think?"

"I don't think they will bully me, but they may reject me at first."

Asakura Feng said, "After all, Camilla and the other two regard our home as their territory. If there is a new cat of the same kind all of a sudden, even if it is young, they will still think it is an intruder and will mistakenly think that we have a new cat. I think that at first, the senior sister can bring the cat to our home and stay for a while every day, so that the little guys can get familiar with it and know that this is a neighbor. The three in our home are quite smart."

"That's it..."

Nodding, Kasumigaoka Utaha understood, and was no longer worried about having to occasionally leave the cat at Asakura Kaede's house in the future.

After returning to the apartment, Asakura Kaede and Eriri did not go back to their own homes, but followed Kasumigaoka Utaha to her home.

Now that she lives alone, Kasumigaoka Utaha has improved a lot compared to before. She cleans the house by herself and is also learning to cook.

During this period, Kasumigaoka Utaha's mother came several times. At first, she was worried about whether her daughter could live well alone, but later she gradually felt relieved.

After coming in, she put everything away, placed the cat bed, litter box and other things in a corner of the living room, and then Kasumigaoka Utaha let the cat out of the cage.

Coming out of the cage, the little leopard cat looked at the vast scene here which was completely different from the original pet shop, and his little eyes were filled with great curiosity.

And it’s not afraid of strangers. As soon as it came out, it started walking around and looking around. Then it saw the cat bed in the corner. It instinctively walked over and rubbed it. It seemed that it liked the comfort of this cat bed.

I haven’t bought a cat climbing frame or anything like that yet because the cat is still young and can’t use it for the time being, but I did put a cat scratching board there.

After walking the cat around the living room, Kasumigaoka Utaha happily hugged her in her arms and sat on the sofa.

As a veteran, Eriri first helped Kasumigaoka Utaha prepare some milk suitable for a three-month-old kitten, and then handed it to Kasumigaoka Utaha, asking her to feed the cat.

Looking at the cat biting the bottle and drinking milk in big gulps, Ying Lili said with a smile: "Ah~~ Seeing this scene reminds me of the time when I first raised Golzan and Melba. But we have Camilla here, so we don't have to worry about feeding them. We just need to take care of other things. Shiyu, you have to teach her to use cat litter properly from now on, otherwise the cat's poop will be very smelly."

"Well, I know."

Nodding, Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and said, "I have seen you take care of cats many times, so I know a little bit. If I encounter something I don't know how to do, I will call you immediately."

After sitting for a while, Asakura Kaede and Eriri went back, leaving the space to Kasumigaoka Utaha, allowing her to develop feelings with her cat and think about what to name the cat.

After opening the door and walking in, Ying Lili said, "That's great. Shiyu has a cat too. Fengjun, do you think we should let other people have cats in the future? That way, we can bring cats to our gatherings, and it will be super lively!"

"Well... I don't know if it's hot or not, but I think there might not be enough litter boxes."

Asakura Kaede's complaint made Eriri stunned. After glaring at him, she looked at the three cats sitting in a row on the sofa in the living room.

"I'm back! I brought you toys!"

As he spoke, he took out a cat toy from the bag, opened it, and shook it in front of the three cats.

Camilla was no longer as enthusiastic about this kind of childish toy as before. After taking a look at it, she leisurely ran to Asakura Kaede. She was not too averse to the smell of other cats on Asakura Kaede and let him pick her up.

As for the other two little guys, their attention was all attracted by the cat toy and they didn't pay any attention to the smell of the two people.

After playing with the cat for a while, it was almost noon. After Eriri prepared lunch for the cat, she changed her clothes and started preparing lunch with Asakura Kaede.

In the evening, Kasumigaoka Utaha sent a message saying that she was going to move back to her parents' home and asked her parents to get to know the kitten in the next two days so that she would be able to go to school next week and not be with the cat.

At the same time, the name given to the cat was also sent.

"Alice?" Looking at the message on the phone, Eriri said in surprise, "It's obviously a Bengal cat, but Shiyu gave it this name. I thought she would give it some other name."

Asakura Feng said, "After all, it's a female cat. It's impossible to give it a name like a male cat. Alice is a good name."

"Yeah, it's a girl." Holding the phone, Ying Lili said with some regret, "I wanted to ask Shiyu to come over for dinner tonight and let the little one at home meet Alice, but she went back directly. Well... we can only talk about it later."

Of course, Kasumigaoka Utaha posted a series of photos of leopard cats on her Twitter account, starting a period of indefinite account activity.

Chapter 529 Machida Sonoko also wants a pet (1/2)

Soon, everyone knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha started raising a cat.

When we arrived at school on Monday, Usami came over curiously and asked, "Eri, Senior Shiyu is really quick. Has she started raising a cat?"

"Yes." Ying Lili nodded. "Just two days ago, on Saturday, Feng Jun and I took her to a pet store I knew and bought them. There were three little leopard cats, and she fell in love with them at first sight and ordered them right away."

"That's great~~~"

Opening her phone and looking at the photo of the little leopard cat posted on Kasumigaoka Utaha's account, Usami smiled and said, "Well... when I go to college, I want to have a pet too!"

"Hey, why wait until college?" Eriri came over and whispered, "Are you planning to be with Uchimura after college... huh?"

When Usami's thoughts were exposed by Eriri, her face immediately turned red. She put away her phone and started playing around with Eriri.

In the afternoon, Asakura Kaede did not attend the club activities and was called over by editor Nakajima, and Eriri came with her.

When I arrived at the library, I found that Kasumigaoka Utaha was also there.

Not only herself, but even the little leopard cat Alice, who she had just raised, was being taken care of by her and was now holding her in her arms.

Machida Sonoko was holding a cat toy and teasing the little one. Editor Nakajima was drinking tea and watching the scene with a smile.

Seeing Asakura Kaede and Eriri coming in, Editor Nakajima smiled and waved, "Are you here? Shiyu got here half an hour earlier than you."

Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha, Asakura Feng asked with a smile: "Senior, why didn't you say you would come? Don't you have classes this afternoon?"

"Yes, but it's just the one after lunch. I won't have any classes today after that." Holding the cat, Kasumigaoka Utaha replied, "It's mainly about the script. I've already written some of it. Someone from the film and television company will come to discuss the script later."

"Hey~~Have you written something?" Eriri asked curiously, "What kind of story is it? Can I take a look first?"

"That won't do." Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head and said, "It's just a draft now, and many details haven't been finalized yet. If you want to read it, I'll show it to you after I finish writing it all. I can tell you the specific type, it's still a youth romance, but the plot may make people feel a little upset. After all, it's a TV series, there must be some ups and downs in the plot, right?"

After hearing this, Asakura Kaede and Eriri both showed helpless expressions.

Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha's smug look, Asakura Feng said, "I knew that you, Senior Sister, would not be too content with this script. But is it really okay to write it like this?"

"of course."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded with a smile: "I talked to them about this when I started writing. They wanted me to write something more heart-wrenching. Many girls like to read this kind of story."

This company really clearly defines its target group.

After playing with Kasumigaoka Utaha's cat, Asakura Kaede started chatting with editor Nakajima about the novel. This time they were talking about overseas distribution, so they didn't talk directly in the editorial department, but went to the conference room, and the editor-in-chief of the library would also participate.

Eriri did not follow, but stayed in the editorial department with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Holding the cat over and scratching its chin, Ying Lili said with a smile: "This little guy is so well-behaved. How did your parents react when you brought him home these two days?"

"I told my parents in advance, so they didn't object. Besides, Alice is very well behaved and my mom likes her very much." Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "If I hadn't had to talk about the script today, I would have gone home to accompany this little girl. I didn't feel anything when I didn't have a pet before, but now that I have one, I feel a little uncomfortable when I don't see her for a day. So after class this afternoon, I went home to bring her out."
