Searching around: Maybe I’m just bored, and I like to have a battle of wits with it?
My cat, Chen Shoutao, is a big tabby cat.
I’ve never seen an animal in other families trying to change humans, but my tabby cat has this eager – to – try idea.
It actively tries to change the things in this house that it thinks are not good, including the living habits of every family member.
It doesn’t like it when I lie in bed playing with my phone in the morning.
Every morning, as long as I make the slightest noise, like turning over and the quilt falling, there will be a “catch – you – in – the – act” knock on the door outside, “Mom, mom, are you awake?”
Well, yes, I’m awake, but I don’t want to talk to you. Is that okay?
In its understanding, if I’m asleep, it can tolerate it, but if I’m awake and keep the door closed, there must be something fishy! What are you secretly playing with behind the door that you don’t want me to know? No way, I have to find out!
After I scolded it angrily through the door, Shoutao finally understood that mom doesn’t want to open the door and play with it even when she’s awake.
So, it takes its silly sister and plays in front of my bedroom door. It pretends to accidentally lean its head against mom’s door, then accidentally falls against mom’s door with its body, and then accidentally swings its paw onto mom’s door…
Recently, I’ve finally been changed by its persistent behavior. I decided to get up early every day to do some exercise. Shoutao, are you satisfied?
It’s dissatisfied with my hunting ability.
There was a period when I was really frustrated. Every now and then, there would be a winged thing struggling to crawl where I was sitting playing with the computer. It was summer, but this kind of “precise delivery” was too much, right?
Well, these were the prey that Shoutao painstakingly caught to train me.
It pretends to catch flying insects nonchalantly. But, come on, if you’re going to catch them, why drive them in front of me???
This kind of thing!
It gives me a meaningful look, just like the look my PE teacher gave me in high – jump class when I just couldn’t jump over no matter what when I was a kid.
After a while, there was a cicada next to the poor thing from before. The two ugly creatures were crawling and “crying” (as if in distress) side by side…
So, does this mean that since I didn’t learn this “homework” question, the teacher gives me another one?
So, I don’t need to worry about getting addicted to pleasure and losing my ambition at home. Shoutao will make a series of self – improvement plans for me.
In its little head, this family, and this worry – some mom, are all its responsibilities.
At other times, when it’s not being a gossip or a meddler, it’s actually a quite cute “uncle – like” cat.
