Our little sister is a Dragon Li cat. I kept pestering my husband, saying I wanted to raise a cat. After pestering him for almost half a year, he finally agreed. We went to the pet store on the same day.
At first, we saw a British Shorthair with a gradient coat, which cost 2000 yuan each, and it wasn’t even very good – looking. There were also Russian Blues, priced at 1800 yuan. We thought they were a bit expensive. Moreover, in that pet store, cats and dogs were raised together, and a cat in the same cage had an eye disease, so we didn’t think it was a good choice. At the last pet store, their cattery was very far away, and we could only look at pictures and have the cat delivered.
We thought we were out of luck in buying a cat. However, the shop owner had a little Dragon Li cat that she herself raised. Its original name was June (such a literary name…). It was extremely friendly. As soon as we entered, it reached out its paws from the cage to grab my husband’s arm and meowed at us. When we took it out, it didn’t meow randomly and just lay on me, being very obedient. At that moment, we really felt it was fate.
We negotiated with the shop owner for a long time to let her sell it to us. Since it had already received three doses of the FVRCP vaccine (it seems to be this name), which cost nearly 300 yuan, and had been fed very well since childhood, growing up on goat milk powder and having one can of cat food a day. It was really raised by the shop owner herself (we saw the tins of the cat food she ate, and there were really more than 20 of them). Finally, we bought it for 500 yuan and took it home.
After bringing it home, we changed its name to a catchy one, Xiaohua (Sorry, Chao Ge and Li Jie…). When we first brought it into the house, we put it in a cage to let it get familiar with the home environment. After about two hours, we let it out. Little sister Xiaohua started to patrol the room, being very cautious and not scurrying around randomly. After one or two hours, she got familiar with the place.
Dragon Li cats are really easy to raise. We bought Huanhuzi cat food from the pet store for her. A few days ago, we suddenly found that there was no cat food left. I rushed to the supermarket and bought a bag of Whiskas. We didn’t change the cat food gradually, but just poured it in directly, and Xiaohua ate it with great relish. We bought her an automatic feeder and an automatic water dispenser. Xiaohua eats a lot, drinks a lot, and poops a lot. My husband scoops the litter box one or two times a day, and there’s hardly any smell in the room.
