Both of them have grown up.
The big cat brother is over one year old. His little face has two patches of “plateau – red” from fighting with the little one.
The British Shorthair is really lazy. It just eats and sleeps. Only when it hears me shaking the bag of dried small fish does it become extremely energetic.
Xuebao has also grown into a big girl. The older she gets, the more beautiful she becomes. Her fur has become really thick. We should really believe in the power of bloodlines.

Thank you all for loving them.
Here are two recent photos of taking them on a picnic.
Whether at home or outside, Xuebao is very clingy to her brother.
She really enjoys it when her brother licks her fur and even closes her eyes.

Because the breeding threshold is low and it’s easy to breed, the market has been over – hyped and now it’s as common as Chinese cabbages, losing its value. On Xianyu (a second – hand trading platform), the price ranges from 500 to 1800 yuan, depending on the appearance. There are cats sold for 500 yuan on Xianyu, and those that are really ugly are only worth 500 yuan. Those sold for over 1000 yuan have a slightly better appearance.
However, pure – blood cats from regular catteries still cost over 8000 yuan. They are really good – looking, and their appearance is of high – quality at first sight, which can’t be achieved by later feeding.
Mine is an ordinary domestic cat. I bought it for 1700 yuan on Xianyu. At that time, I visited many places, but most of the cats didn’t look very nice. Finally, I went to this home. I was attracted by the appearance of its mother (I didn’t see its father. It was mated with a cat outside).
It was the quietest one in that litter. When other kittens beat it, it didn’t fight back. When others went out to play, it was still sleeping in the nest, being rather unique. So I chose it. Unexpectedly, when it grew up, it looked the most like its mother and was the most beautiful in that litter.
At three months old, on the first day it came back.
I didn’t let it get on the bed, but it always sneaked into the room and got on the bed when we were out.
At four months old, it was extremely clingy and had to stay in the same room with people.
At four months old, I took it out to pick up express delivery.
After the end of the epidemic prevention and control, I hadn’t seen it for over half a month. It became even more clingy, fearing that I would leave again. As long as I was out of its sight, it would meow. It even had to sleep close to me.
After coming back, I took it for a physical examination and it was drawn blood. It hugged me pitifully.
At five months old, I took it out. Its cheeks started to develop a bit.
It had to sleep close to me at night.
At six months old.
My cat’s eyes are extremely yellow, even more yellow than in the pictures. The camera doesn’t capture the true color. When I often go to pet stores or pet hospitals and see other similar cats, few have eyes as yellow as mine. When I take it out for a walk, a sister who also raises cats praised its eyes, saying they are bright and yellow.
Now it’s eight months old… Because of the summer, it doesn’t sleep with people anymore. It’s afraid of the heat and squats on the floor every day.
Its cheeks have fully developed, and it looks a bit more mature, not as tender as when it was a kitten (I still like it when it was a kitten). Now it has the temperament of a gentle big brother.
Afraid that it would be lonely, I brought Xiaoxuebao (a Ragdoll) home.
Now it’s really busy. Every day it helps me take care of Xiaoxuebao and fulfills its duty as a big brother.
It licks Xiaoxuebao’s fur and takes care of her every day.
When Xiaoxuebao is playing, it watches beside. If there’s any danger, it will run over immediately.
When eating, when it sees Xiaoxuebao coming to eat, it will stop eating and let Xiaoxuebao eat first…
Finally, here’s a picture of Xiaoxuebao. Xiaoxuebao at two months old loves to knead with her paws.
