Pet King

Chapter 1379: Cracks

Cats species, from big cats such as tigers, lions to small cats such as the Lynx, have always been at the top of the food chain in their lands. Even domestic cats that have adored by countless people reside at the top as well.

The disorderly breeding of stray cats is often referred to as ecological disasters because they can indiscriminately hunt all small animals that they can prey on, even if they are not hungry.

Cats raised at home will also bring small gifts such as dead mice, dead cockroaches, and dead geckos to the master.

Cats in a free-range state, when bored, may engage in catching butterflies. That is not a rare thing, but in general, butterflies are small and potentially poisonous bugs that are generally not in their hunting options.

Butterflies are usually not toxic, but if they feed on toxic flowers, they are likely also contaminated with the same toxin.

When the black and white kitten suddenly rushed over to the butterflies, Zhang Zian thought that the prey was himself, but when he looked carefully, he found that his target was actually the few butterflies.

It makes sense. The butterflies are very beautiful, and the scales on their wings are colorful under the sun. If the kitten smothers it, it is a pity. After all, it is a world that idolizes beauty. If it is an ugly moth, no one will give it a second thought.

The butterflies noticed the arrival of enemies, flickered their wings, and flew around. Some were flying around the trees, and others were flying into the leaves of plants. Some also flew high into the sky. No butterfly stayed around to die.

People who have caught butterflies by hand have experienced that, although butterflies seem to fly slowly, trying to catch them is not as easy as imagined. This is because their wings are big. If your movements are too slow, you won’t be able to catch it. However, move too fast, and the generated wind by your action can blow the butterfly away – of course, catching butterflies with insect nets is not counted.

These butterflies are different in color and seem to be of different species.

In general, butterflies with low-key colored wings such as black, gray, and brown are often smaller, faster, and more agile. This is because they have no other means of saving themselves except to outrun, outwit, and outlast their opponents.

If the butterfly is brightly colored and can be seen at a distance, it will often use complicated colors to confuse the enemy. They may even pretend to have a pair of big fierce eyes on the wings to scare the enemy away, although this is not very useful towards humans. After all, humans don’t include butterflies in their diets, but they are still useful against birds and other creatures.

Their flight trajectory is irregular, and they go up and down or suddenly turn left and right. In this way, the enemy is distracted, and their vision goes haywire. They don’t know which one to catch.

The black and white kitten did not seem to be affected too much by their tactics. After rushing into the butterfly group, he suddenly waved his paws and pulled a bow like Li Yuanba. It first waved its right paw and brought the butterfly that was the slowest to the ground, then using its left paw, brought down another butterfly that flew slowly onto the grass. Finally, by flicking its tail, it took down one that was hiding behind it and was spinning around in the air for a while. Its actions are well-rehearsed as if it had done this often.

If it is not a limitation by its body size, it is much like a little tiger.

The butterflies saw the enemy coming to the forefront and immediately changed their strategy. They flew high, intending to avoid the predator temporarily. Even if the kitten is more powerful, it doesn’t grow wings, does it?

Unexpectedly, this kitten makes good use of the terrain. It ran into a small tree, climbed halfway up it, and traversed to the side of the rooftop. It ran fast, volleyed on the edge of the roof, and accurately grabbed a butterfly. It then rolled forward and landed into a haystack on the ground.

When its head emerges, there were still a few blades of grass on the head.

“Wow, great!”

Zhang Zian was delighted with what he saw. It can even be said that it got his eyes wide open. He really hasn’t seen a cat so good at catching butterflies.

The kitten licked its head and flicked off the blades of grass on its head. Suddenly, without much warning, it leaped to the side. Before, there was a dead leaf butterfly disguised as a dead leaf and stayed motionless whilst the other butterflies flew around. Even Zhang Zian did not realize that it was alive, but the ploy was still discovered by this kitten.

The dead leaf butterfly is pressed by it between the bottom of the kitten’s claw and the grass.

Zhang Zian doesn’t know if it is hungry and wants to eat a butterfly or just to catch it as a form of playing – if the former, it will definitely put the butterfly into the mouth; if it is the latter, it should release the butterfly again.

Cats are not really suitable to eat butterflies as they can cause diarrhea, so he wants to stop it from putting the butterflies into its mouth.

But it lifted the claws, which seems then it is the latter option.

Zhang Zian was shocked to see the incredible scene – after it removed its claws, there were no fluttering butterflies at the bottom of the claws, and there were no crushed bodies. However, there was a little light that fluttered from the bottom of its claws, like the fireflies at night. The glow of the fireflies then slowly fade into the air and eventually disappeared.

He rubbed his eyes.

What the hell!

“Just now… what happened? Is there something wrong with my eyesight?”

“Meow…”

The kitten went on and chased other butterflies.

Zhang Zian went to the position where the dead leaf butterfly was just now and stepped at the grass with the tip of his shoe. He did not find the butterfly’s body. Of course, the body may have been stuck on the kitten’s claw. The light spot he saw maybe …reflection of the surrounding window glass.

In fact, there is another possibility, that is, his cognitive ability is really becoming a problem.

The butterflies did not have the ability to resist, and they were driven away by the kittens and left the green space.

It is only when that is completed that the kitten ran back and sat down on the lawn with satisfaction.

“You just… how did you do it…”

Zhang Zian wanted to ask a question when his vision suddenly seemed to tremble a little. The world briefly appeared to be in reboot, but soon returned to normal.

At the same time, there seems to be something in his heart that is trying to get out between the cracks of a rock that formed inside. Before that, the rock was perfect, but now there are subtle cracks, and the power of its repression is slowly loosening up.

“Did I miss something?” He tried hard and clarified his thoughts by muttering to himself. “In the Teahouse In Hidden Fog and in the library… Should I go back and see?”

“Meow…”

The kitten shook its head.

Zhang Zian was stunned again. “Did you just shook your head?”

Is it a coincidence?

It is just a kitten. How can it understand his words and respond? Besides, it was all the things that he had done before it appeared, so it is impossible that the kitten will know.

“Can you understand me?” He tried again.

“Meow…” It nodded.

It actually nodded again…

To confirm that it was no coincidence and to avoid misunderstanding, he said, “If you can understand, lift your right front paw…”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he was a little embarrassed with himself. How can a kitten understand what is left or right?

However, it really lifted its right front paw.

Zhang Zian picked himself in his face. It hurts. It seems that he is not dreaming. This kitten can really understand what he says.
