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

Chapter 27 Africa's Strongest Killing Machine!
Xia Qiyue worked as a live-streaming assistant for a period of time.

Moreover, she is the assistant of a top streamer.

Their equipment was so complete that even Xia Qiyue couldn't name many of the items; it looked incredibly high-end!

When it came to Chen Nian, all she had was a cell phone.

It was a truly appalling sight.

Xia Qiyue glanced at Chen Nian, who was sitting upright at the desk, moving her facial expressions and mouth.

Fortunately, Chen Nian is quite beautiful and photogenic; otherwise, many people would have simply scrolled past her without even lingering.

The live stream was also done with Kayan.

Unless it's an abstract live stream or a live stream with beauty filters.

Of course, considering that Chen Nian is just starting out, the equipment will do.

So Xia Qiyue didn't say anything.

Instead, she silently noted this down, then picked up Xiao Lan and returned to her workstation—the sofa—stretched her back, and continued working.

Chen Nian did not set working hours for Xia Qiyue.

The two were more of a business partner than a superior-subordinate relationship.

Therefore, everything depends on Xia Qiyue's self-awareness.

Fortunately, Xia Qiyue was very self-aware.

She wasn't lying to Chen Nian; she really hadn't been slacking off that afternoon, but had been working hard.

The purpose of playing with cat illustrations is actually to take clearer pictures of cats.

Xia Qiyue compiled all the images in Chen Nian's past videos that were criticized for being too blurry into a table.

After taking enough photos in the cat encyclopedia, Xia Qiyue prepared to begin a complete replacement.

The video quality will be significantly improved!
Furthermore, Xia Qiyue also plans to present Chen Nian's popular science content in writing and promote it as advertorials.

This will allow us to advertise on more platforms.

When Chen Nian takes off, I will take off as well.

Thinking about this, Xia Qiyue was full of energy!
it is good!
Let's finish the video in one go!

She rolled up her non-existent sleeves and quickly got to work.

Half past six in the evening.

Chen Nian started her live stream on time.

After a brief opening speech, he looked at the more than 500 audience members who had suddenly poured in and smiled.

"Today, let's start by talking about a problem that most cat owners will encounter."

Why do cats go on a parkour run after they've finished pooping?

"I'm sure many people have encountered this situation."

This topic quickly attracted the interest of the viewers in the live chat.

"Yeah!"

"My cat runs all over the house right after it poops, I don't know why."

"Don't even mention it. Once, I saw my unfilial son with a bit of poop on his butt and he started doing parkour. I couldn't catch him, and the more I chased him, the more excited he got. Can you understand that kind of despair?!"

"Why is that, streamer?"

Seeing the comments section become active, Chen Nian smiled slightly and began today's lesson.

There are generally four reasons why cats run around after defecating.

(Those who don't like science can skip this part~)

"Physiological mechanisms, instinctive behaviors, stress responses, and pleasure release."

"The physiological mechanism is similar to how humans need to breathe deeply after holding their breath. Some cats experience changes in heart rate after defecating, and in this case, they need to use parkour to balance their heart rate."

"And the smell of feces is too strong, so wild animals usually move away quickly and bury it on the spot after defecating. This is an instinctive behavior, and leopards and lions do the same."

"If it's a stress reaction, you need to carefully observe the cat's condition. It could be that the cat litter feels too bad, or it could be the pain from diarrhea, both of which can cause stress in cats after defecating."

"As for the final release of pleasure..."

"Hey, I'm sure everyone will understand right away."

Chen Nian grinned.

"After all, who wouldn't feel refreshed after taking a big dump? It's perfectly normal to do some parkour to express your happiness, right?"

After listening to Chen Nian's story, the cat lovers all started to identify with it.

"You know what, you really do know, ever since I changed the cat litter, my rebellious cat has stopped doing parkour."

"So my cat is having a happy time? Hmm, it certainly is."

"My cat's poop smells so bad that I can smell it instantly every time it's born and I immediately bury it. It's become an instinctive reaction for me!"

"So how can we prevent and easily identify situations like this involving livestreamers?"

"It's very simple."

Chen Nian held up four fingers.

"First, if your cat only runs around occasionally and has a normal appetite and energy level, there is no need to intervene. Just quietly enjoy the cat's 'free flight'." "Second, if it is frequently accompanied by diarrhea and constipation, you need to take it to the vet as soon as possible to rule out gastrointestinal diseases, parasites, or food allergies."

"Third, if the cat only runs around after defecating in a specific litter box, try changing the type of cat litter or adjusting the location of the litter box."

"Fourth, if the cat runs away and then hides or grooms itself excessively, it may be in pain when defecating, such as anal gland inflammation."

"These are the common problems you might encounter with cat parkour."

"If you encounter any other situations, feel free to message me privately, and I will help you take a look."

The pre-broadcast lesson is over.

Chen Nian glanced at the time; it had taken a total of thirteen minutes, which did not interfere with the normal live stream.

As for the actual effect, we'll have to wait and see how the audience reacts.

There happened to be an audience member at Chen Nian's home.

He looked up at Xia Qiyue.

"uh-huh?"

Xia Qiyue's right hand was typing away on the computer, while her left hand gave her a thumbs-up, which then connected with her rounded index finger to form an OK sign.

What a question!
The lively comments section, which erupted because of the cat's parkour-like antics after pooping, also indicate that the video was quite effective.

People are quite interested in the mini-classes.

This put Chen Nian at ease.

The following time was dedicated to a formal science popularization class.

"The cat we're unlocking today, like the Singapore cat I talked about before, is known as the world's smallest cat."

Commenters started answering the questions in the live chat.

"I know the answer to this one! It's the Black-footed Cat!"

"bingo!"

"So, do you know what the hunting success rate of black-footed cats is?"

"As one of the most efficient hunters among felines, the black-footed cat hunts on average every 30 minutes at night, with a success rate as high as 60%!"

Next, Chen Nian searched for the Black-footed Cat in the cat encyclopedia and then showed it to the audience.

"Isn't it cute?"

The petite black-footed cat rolls around on the screen, acting cute, and leaps to hunt, displaying its charming figure.

It instantly captivated a large audience!
"The black-footed cat is the most deadly little cutie in Africa!"

"His nickname is—Africa's most powerful killing machine!"

“平均重1.6千克，最大的雄性体重只有2-3千克；不包括尾巴的话，它们体长通常在36~52厘米之间。”

"If you encounter it in the wild, never make eye contact with it, because you might die!"

Chen Nian paused for a moment: "It's so cute it's killing me!"

The comments section fell silent.

"Holy crap! I almost got fooled by the streamer."

"You like to talk in a really drawn-out way, don't you!"

"This black-footed cat looks just like my tabby cat."

Meanwhile, those who like small cats are flooding the screen with comments saying they want to own one!
"It's so cute, I'm dying of love just looking at it through the screen!"

"Hey streamer, can I keep two? Is that okay? You definitely can!"

Can it be kept as a pet?

Chen Nian shook his head.

"No punishment!"

"This is no good, fellow cat lovers! It's even worse than a clouded cat, a beast that could land you in jail for life!"

Just as Chen Nian was showing off the black-footed cat and explaining its habits and living environment, a strange noise came from the quiet live broadcast room.

Woo~!

"what sound?"

"You have a cat, streamer?"

Sharp-eared viewers immediately sent questions via live chat.

Chen Nian glanced at Xia Qiyue on the sofa out of the corner of her eye.

The voice just now came from Xia Qiyue. The reason she made the sound was because she also saw the image of the Black-footed Cat and was immediately captivated by its adorable face.

OxO!

Noticing Chen Nian's gaze, Xia Qiyue immediately covered her mouth and then used her long legs to push Xiao Lan towards Chen Nian.

Meow?
Little Blue cried out in confusion.

Chen Nian understood and picked up Xiao Lan, showing it to the audience and laughing.

"I do have a cat, but it belongs to a friend. Where are the people who used to criticize me for being a cat streamer who doesn't own a cat? Come out and apologize!"
