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

Chapter 254 Qinghai Lake's Unbridled Pampering
"They said they were so hungry they were craving it."

Looking at the information on the Qinghai Lake panel, Chen Nian remained silent for a moment.

Then he silently turned his gaze to the lynx in the next area.

[Status: Healthy; Mood: Impatient, Intensely Curious]

[Hint: Drawn by the aroma of unknown, top-quality meat, your hunting instincts and appetite are highly aroused. (In short: You're also very hungry.)]

"."

Next are the Pallas's cat and the leopard cat.
After looking around, almost all the feline panels that were howling abnormally had a bright "greedy" icon added to their status bars.

This is followed by supplementary descriptions of varying degrees.

The range of reactions varies from "a little hungry" to "craving it terribly".

Chen Nian's lips twitched slightly, and she was speechless.

Good guy!
This isn't raising a group of highland felines, it's clearly raising a group of little foodies!

Who would have thought that the reason for this seemingly massive 'hundred-cat riot' was so simple and unpretentious!

He took a deep breath and finally voiced his 'speculation'.

Although this speculation sounds very far-fetched.

"What?!"

"You mean the entire feline population in this enclosure is behaving abnormally, not because of disease or environmental threats, but because they're gluttonous?"

Veterinarian Liu, who was standing nearby, was the first to express his disapproval, shaking his head repeatedly.

The tone was full of skepticism from a professional:

"impossible!"

"Even the finest cat food and the freshest meat could never cause such a large-scale and synchronized herd effect! This doesn't conform to animal behavior!"

"And why are only felines reacting?"

"The wolves and birds next door are all quiet, isn't that inexplicable!"

Little Mi flicked its tail, looking completely content.

'Because Xiaomi cat food is made exclusively for felines~'

Unfortunately, Veterinarian Liu couldn't hear Xiaomi's words, and he simply couldn't believe Chen Nian's absurd explanation.

But then the principal suddenly realized something and instinctively reached for his pocket.

There seemed to be a faint, lingering fragrance there.

He still trusted Chen Nian's judgment.

The headmistress looked at Chen Nian with surprise: "Teacher Chen, could it be that your family's heirloom cat food caused this?!"

If there's any food that could cause a 'cat riot' of this scale.

Then the zoo director could only think of Chen Nian's 'hereditary cat food'!

"Heirloom cat food? What's that? Can this stuff really be passed down through generations?" Veterinarian Liu looked puzzled, then anxiously advised, "Director! You can't just rush into anything! How can you feed the rare animals in the park cat food of unknown origin? Who will be responsible if they get sick from it?!"

"Old Liu, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

The head of the kindergarten reassured Veterinarian Liu, then looked at Chen Nian with an inquiring gaze.

Chen Nian didn't waste any words.

He pulled a handful of kitten food directly from his pocket.

In an instant, that familiar yet domineering rich fragrance once again emanated from his hand, spreading out like an invisible ripple in still water.

"Isn't that right? Why not just give it a try?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Veterinarian Liu hurriedly came out to stop them.

Before he could finish speaking, the zoo director shoved the cat food analysis report into the veterinarian's hands.

"Old Liu, take a look at this first." Veterinarian Liu subconsciously took the report and quickly scanned the basic components listed on it.

All raw materials are clearly defined, safe, and reliable.

It contains no artificial additives, palatability enhancers, or unknown ingredients!
But...
Veterinarian Liu sniffed hard.

The rich, pure, and mouthwatering aroma of meat wafted into his nostrils with unmistakable realism, creating a stark contrast with the 'ordinary' ingredient report in his hand.

As someone who spends his days dealing with animals and feed, his nose doesn't lie.

Why does this cat food smell so good?!
This is completely unscientific!

The enticing aroma silenced Lao Liu's doubts.

Under the director's instruction, Chen Nian slowly walked to the feeding area of ​​the 'Qinghai Lake' activity area, and then carefully placed the small handful of cat food in her hand into the clean empty food bowl in the activity area through the special delivery channel.

The cat food left Chen Nian's hand and lost its last trace of scent.

The moment it landed in the food bowl, its almost tangible aroma finally spread freely throughout this small space without reservation!
"Hey? Look! The zookeeper is feeding Qinghai Lake!"

"That person looks so familiar... Could it be Teacher Chen Nian?!"

"Hey! Look at Qinghai Lake! It's stopped calling! It's gone towards the feeding trough! So fast!"

The moment the aroma of cat food filled the activity area, the desert cat that had been howling at the top of the dead tree for a long time suddenly stopped, as if a pause button had been pressed.

In a hurry, it just whizzes by!
It leaped directly from the three-meter-high tree trunk and landed precisely on the edge of the food bowl.

It first took a deep, almost greedy breath of the 'celestial aura' that haunted its dreams, and its whole body trembled slightly from the ultimate enjoyment.

Ah!
This is the taste!

It’s a heart-pounding feeling!

The next moment, Qinghai Lake plunged its fluffy little head into the food bowl, as if it had never eaten anything so delicious in its life, and began a frenzied 'gnawing and licking' without any regard for its image!
Just an hour ago, it had enjoyed a standard, generous dinner, but now it devoured the small handful of cat food that Chen Nian had fed it, licking it clean in a whirlwind, leaving not a single grain.

He wouldn't even let go of the tiny bits of residue stuck to his beard.

It raised its front paws and carefully brushed the crumbs off its whiskers. Then it sat down, squinted its eyes, and looked on with an expression of ultimate enjoyment. It slowly licked its paw pads, savoring the wonderful taste, as if it were performing a sacred post-meal ritual.

For some reason, Chen Nian felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing this scene.

He recalled the first time he met Xiao Lan.

It seems that Xiao Lan sneaked out because she smelled Xiaomi's cat food, and that's why she got injured.

Chen Nian glanced at Xia Qiyue subconsciously.

To his surprise, Xia Qiyue excitedly grabbed his arm, pointed inside, and exclaimed with delight, "Chen Nian! Look, look! It's being affectionate!! So cute!"

Chen Nian immediately turned her head to look.

Just then, I saw Qinghai Lake where the claws had been cleaned, and I slowly lay down on my side.

Then it flips over and rolls around, like a lazy cat-like insect.

Every now and then, it would lie on its back with its four paws pointing upwards, stretching its furry limbs in all four directions, its little paws slowly kneading the air, its tender paw pads appearing and disappearing.

That relaxed look, completely absorbed in ultimate satisfaction, without any guard.

This cat is completely different from the 'rebel' who stood on a high place and roared to the sky just minutes before. It is so cute that everyone who sees this scene is melted in their hearts!

However, while Qinghai Lake was immersed in its own blissful world, the other felines in the enclosure, who had not yet been fed, became increasingly anxious and impatient after smelling the increasingly clear but still unattainable alluring aroma.

The howls grew louder and more urgent, as if in a collective protest:

"It's my turn! It's my turn!"

"Why did it eat me first?! I want some too!!"

"(The Pallas's cat roars) Awooo—!!"

(Qinghai Lake)
