Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 212 "Gentle Giant" and "Frozen Tail" Fierce Cat

The yard has become much livelier with the addition of a large cat.

Yingzai isn't as aloof as Lily.

It's actually an extroverted cat.

In just two days, he followed Chen Nian and inspected every nook and cranny of the entire courtyard.

Under She Niu Diandian's guidance, it gradually became bolder.

She would occasionally try to leave Chen Nian.

Go explore the area around the yard with Dot or Little Grey.

However, after each little adventure, it would always run back to Chen Nian's side as soon as possible, rub its big head against his hand or leg, and then make a satisfied purring sound.

A super big, clingy cat!

She's much more clingy than Xue Aotian was when he was a child.

In contrast, Xue Aotian has now become independent.

After realizing that Yingzai could not replace its position in its foster father's arms (because Chen Nian was too heavy to hold), it stopped competing for affection and began to return to its previous training routine.

I can have a blast every day!
Strive to improve your 'hunting' skills.

That giant toy mouse is already big enough to be dragged around!

Because of its past experiences, Yingzai dislikes humans other than Chen Nian; for example, it never looks directly at Xia Qiyue.

Xia Qiyue, however, expressed her understanding.

After all, apart from Chen Nian, no one else could get wild cats so close.

The cat lovers in the live stream also learned that the lynx had been rescued by Chen Nian that day and had become a clingy cat, and immediately clamored to see Yingzai.

Chen Nian then called over Yingzai, who was wandering around outside.

"Yingzai!"

Pat pat pat——

The next moment, Yingzai immediately turned around, ran over with its long legs, rubbed against Chen Nian and whined, its short tail wagging happily from side to side, just like a super-sized dog!
So adorable!

"Damn it... even my dog ​​isn't this obedient!"

"So obedient? Are you sure it's a cat? Or a wild feline?"

"Waaaaah! Such a big cat must feel amazing to pet!"

Chen Nian nodded with a light laugh: "Of course!"

His hand slid down Yingzai's back.

The gentle yet powerful technique made everyone feel so comfortable that they gurgled and moaned.

After three days of careful feeding by Chen Nian, Yingzai's weight has steadily increased from less than 40 jin to 46 jin.

Although it's still a little short of the average weight of 50 pounds for a male lynx.

But her entire figure has become visibly fuller!

She was no longer the heartbreakingly thin and bony figure she had when she first arrived.

"Sure enough, being loved makes you grow flesh and blood like crazy!"

"I, Chen Jiajia, hereby express my utter envy and jealousy!"

"For those who envy me, I suggest getting a Maine Coon cat. You'll experience the same joy, trust me!"

"Huh? Can Maine Coons grow as big as lynxes?"

Keyword successfully triggered!
With a whoosh, Chen Nian sat up straight on the recliner, crossed her legs, massaged Yingzai's head with her left hand, and raised her right index finger to wave.

That posture, along with the big cat Yingzai, made him look just like the leader of a certain Rockets team.

"Since you asked the question sincerely!"

"Then I will tell you with great mercy!"

“Take our Yingzai as an example.” He patted Yingzai’s sturdy back.

"Its current body length, excluding the tail, is 102 centimeters. A large Maine Coon, excluding the tail, can also reach or even exceed 100 centimeters."

"Therefore, in terms of body length alone, the large Maine Coon is in no way inferior to the lynx."

“If you take the length of the tail into account,” Chen Nian smiled, “then the Maine Coons have an even greater advantage, since they have such magnificent long tails.”

(Large Maine Coon cat)

"So, if you just want to experience the feeling of petting a big cat, then choosing a Maine Coon is definitely the right choice!" "Maine Coons are also known for their stable temperament and are called 'gentle giants' by everyone."

"They are very reliable family companions!"

Some viewers looked it up and then asked a question.

"Brother Nian, can a Maine coyote beat a lynx?"

This generation of netizens seems to like to compare combat power in everything.

Chen Nian, who had just finished explaining the science and lay down, immediately sat up again after hearing this question.

"These two things cannot be compared!"

"No matter how big a Maine Coon is, it's still a house cat, a cute pet. But a lynx is a real beast! Little one, don't move."

Chen Nian stood up and put Yingzai's complete form into the camera lens.

It simply squatted down quietly, but its astonishing shoulder height, its muscular body with smooth lines, and its calm yet sharp eyes instantly made people forget the scene of it whimpering in Chen Nian's arms just moments before.

A silent aura, belonging to an apex predator, permeated the screen.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Maine Coons are about the same length as lynxes. In terms of weight and strength, Maine Coons are not even in the same league as lynxes, and there's no need to compare them."

"Alright, little one, come here."

After saying that, Chen Nian lay back down.

Yingzai immediately transformed back into that clingy big cat, burying its head in his palm for petting, its short tail, less than 20cm long, wagged like a propeller once again.

Seeing this, some viewers in the live chat had questions.

"Teacher Chen, why is the lynx's tail so short? It looks like a fluffy little ball, so cute."

Chen Nian looked down at Yingzai's tail.

Upon noticing his gaze, the short tail immediately stopped moving, making it easier for Chen Nian to explain the science.

Chen Nian then zoomed in and slowly began to speak.

There are several reasons.

"The main reason is to reduce heat loss."

"Because lynxes mainly live in frigid regions, their entire bodies radiate heat, and their short, thick tails have a smaller surface area to volume ratio, which greatly reduces heat loss in extremely cold environments."

"It's like how you wear gloves to protect your hands in cold weather; the lynx has simply 'evolved' away a part of its body that needed extra warmth."

After this analogy was used, many viewers in the live chat changed their perspective on Yingzai.

"This is a fierce cat!"

"Good grief, as long as I don't have it, it won't freeze me, right?!"

"haha, yes."

Chen Nian was amused by the comments on the screen.

Just as I was about to share more interesting stories about lynx habits, a clear sound of car brakes suddenly came from outside the yard.

He stood up immediately.

"It should be Director Nishino and his team who have arrived."

Chen Nian told Xia Qiyue to keep an eye on Xue Aotian, then quickly walked towards the door to greet the headmaster.

Yingzai naturally stood up as well.

Like a loyal guard, it followed closely behind him.

"Teacher Chen!"

The kindergarten principal, who had just gotten out of the car, saw Chen Nian come out to greet him and waved to him with a smile.

Before Chen Nian could respond, the kindergarten director and his assistant saw Yingzai behind Chen Nian.

whoosh-

boom!
The assistant principal, who had already stepped one foot out of the car, swiftly retreated back inside and quickly slammed the door shut!

The fluidity of the movements and the speed of the reactions were textbook-worthy!
Chen Nian: "."

Principal: "."

Yingzai: ?
(I love Maine! Who agrees? Who disagrees?)
