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

Chapter 44: I cried, I really cried!

When the image of the Linqing Lion Cat was clearly displayed on the cat tablet, most of the barrage of comments clamoring to see 'Xiaobai' quietly receded like a tide!
Everyone's attention was firmly captured by this fleeting glimpse of the 'Oriental Fairy'.

"My God! What kind of magical cat is this?!"

"The clarity is amazing! Every single hair is clearly visible!"

"Wow—this appearance! It's just as good as a plush toy, and even has more character!"

"What do you mean by 'Oriental Beauty of the Cat World'?! I've seen it all today! Absolutely stunning!"

Whether it's a first-time encounter with the Lion Cat or a long-time cat enthusiast, everyone is genuinely amazed, and the screen is instantly flooded with comments of astonishment.

"Don't rush, everyone, just wait and see!"

Chen Nian smiled and gently tapped.

The lion cat on the tablet suddenly came to life!

It raised its head gracefully, its long tail flowing like clouds, and its heterochromatic eyes seemed to pierce through the screen, carrying a cool yet lively charm, silently meeting the audience's gaze.

In an instant.

This timeless and ethereal beauty precisely touches the softest spot in the heart of every cat lover.

It was a resonance and a stirring deep within our cultural heritage!
Even Xia Qiyue, sitting across the table, couldn't help but scoop up Xiao Lan beside her, bury her face in its soft belly, and exclaim in a trembling voice, "So beautiful!"

The beauty of the Linqing lion cat lies in its inherent oriental charm.

If Ragdoll cats are like fairies strolling among the clouds, then Linqing Lion cats are like jade-faced generals clad in silver armor, surveying the mountains and rivers with disdain, or emperors sitting regally in the hall, exuding grace and magnanimity.

It should be high above, yet it possesses a gentle and all-encompassing air.

Chen Nian's eyes were also filled with affection.

He is a loyal fan of long-haired cats, and lion cats are his absolute favorites.

Ancient books record: "Lion cats have white fur that drags on the ground, and sit like lions. Purebred snow lion cats with heterochromia are the most precious, and their price exceeds one hundred taels of silver!"

His voice, tinged with clear pride, flowed gently through the live stream, painting a beautiful picture:

"Imagine this: on a bright spring afternoon, a young lady of marriageable age sits before a carved wooden window, her fingers flying as she embroiders a bright red wedding gown. On a small rosewood table beside the window, a snow-white, long-haired lion cat sits quietly, sunlight streaming through the windowpanes and dancing on its silvery fur."

"What an elegant and pleasing scene it was!"

The audience held their breath, as if they had truly followed his words, passing through the veil of time and glimpsing that ancient and tranquil corner.

It's breathtakingly beautiful!
At this moment, both new and old fans were completely captivated by the unparalleled beauty of the Linqing Lion Cat, and the barrage was instantly flooded with calls to "buy" and "own".

"I heard that lion cats are everywhere in Shandong, and you can just pick one up anywhere?"

"How is that possible! I just checked, purebreds cost tens of thousands! How could they be strays?"

"Hey streamer! Do you have any reliable channels? I really want to bring one home!"

"This fur is way too long! Won't it look like a walking dandelion? And won't it get covered in poop like a rag doll?"

The comments scrolled by too quickly, so Chen Nian could only give brief replies.

“First, about the stray lion cats,” he said seriously.

"It is indeed possible to encounter them in places like Shandong, but the vast majority of them are of mixed race."

"True purebred Linqing Lion Cats are rare and precious, and command high prices."

"Furthermore, the market for Lion cats is currently rife with counterfeit and substandard products, so everyone must be discerning. I will make a video later to teach everyone how to identify and select a purebred Lion cat."

He then focused on addressing the overwhelming questions about "shedding fur".

"To enjoy the beauty of long hair, one must inevitably put in the hard work of grooming; this is a consensus."

"But don't worry too much, everyone," Chen Nian reassured them in a relaxed tone.

"Although lion cats have long fur, they have a single coat structure, so their shedding is relatively 'reasonable,' mainly concentrated during the shedding season. As long as you can consistently brush them with a comb for a few minutes every day, the daily shedding amount can be controlled."

"Um"

He paused, then added with a mischievous smile, "At least it's much better than a Persian cat."

The shedding of Persian cats can be described as catastrophic!

"Those who have owned Persian cats should understand what I mean."

"I understand! I understand perfectly!"

"It's all tears when I talk about it!"

"Persian cat owner here! It's been snowing in our house for a month now! It's snowing like crazy!"

A large number of Persian cat owners, sharing the same plight, flooded the comments section with their words filled with sympathy and tears.

Shedding is a constant pain for Persian cats!

Seeing that some viewers were still wavering between good looks and hair loss, Chen Nian offered her advice.

"If you really want the looks of a long-haired cat but can't handle the cleaning hassle, then you can choose a single-coated Balinese or Turkish Angora cat."

"I've also explained these two types of cats in my previous videos, so I recommend you check them out if you'd like to learn more."

His words were like a salvation.

This instantly gave cat lovers who were struggling with decision-making a new option.

Gradually, as the number of viewers in the live stream surged to over 5000, Chen Nian also received the message from Hai Na Bai Chuan.

"The cat food has arrived."

He understood immediately and clapped his hands with a smile.

Amidst the audience's reluctant groans, the tablet showcasing the lion cat's ethereal beauty was gently put away.

"Alright, that concludes the science popularization segment."

Chen Nian's voice carried a hint of anticipation: "Next up is the much-anticipated 'cat appraisal' segment."

"I know many friends have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Without pausing, he immediately invited Haina Baichuan to join the live stream.

The screen is split in two.

On the right, the familiar luxurious background remains, with Hai Na Bai Chuan sitting on the sofa. However, a certain brand of cat food is gone, and instead, there is an inconspicuous little jar on the coffee table.

Good evening, Shirakawa-nii.

"good evening."

Haina Shirakawa's voice was lower than usual.

He carefully picked up the little white creature in his arms. The little guy seemed even lighter than when they last connected on video, like a weightless feather.

Mimi...
A faint, almost inaudible cry rang out, and the hearts of countless viewers in front of the screen tightened instantly.

I feel so sorry for her!

Can the cat food recommended by the streamer really cure it?
Amidst a chorus of doubts, Chen Nian took a deep breath. "Brother Bai Chuan, why don't you open the jar first and let Xiao Bai smell it and see his reaction?"

"it is good."

Hai Na Shirakawa responded, gently twisting open the sealed jar.

Instantly, an indescribable, extremely pure and refreshing fragrance spread out, rich yet not cloying. Even Haina Shirakawa was subconsciously stunned for a moment, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

"It smells so good!"

This is not the strong, even somewhat pungent, meaty aroma of ordinary cat food cans, but a natural fragrance that makes people feel refreshed and relaxed.

Just then, the live chat exploded with comments:

"It moved! Little White moved!!"

"Look at its head!!"

Haina Shirakawa suddenly lowered his head.

The little white creature in my arms, who seemed to have lost interest in everything, actually turned its little head slowly and laboriously!
Those amber eyes, which were originally dull and lifeless, were now focused intently on the mouth of the jar, which was so close to them, and a faint but very clear glimmer of curiosity was shining in them!
In an instant, this man, who had been navigating the business world for many years and had seen countless storms, felt a surge of emotion welling up in his eyes.

He hadn't seen such a sparkle in Xiaobai's eyes for so long!

It's just the smell!
The scent alone was enough to awaken it!

"There's hope! There's hope!"

"Oh my god, it really moved!"

The audience in front of the screen also erupted in excitement, with countless exclamations scrolling rapidly across the screen.

Chen Nian's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

As long as you're interested, there's hope!
Xiao Bai's reaction greatly boosted Chen Nian's confidence.

"Looks like it's working well!" His voice was filled with obvious excitement. "Brother Baichuan, don't rush to feed Xiaobai."

"Go get some of its old food, or the mildest kitten food you can find."

This amount of kitten food is definitely not enough to rebuild Xiaobai's desire and habit of eating.

Mixed feeding is the safest method.

"Good! Good!"

Haina Shirakawa responded repeatedly.

He had lost all composure as a business elite. He carefully placed Xiaobai back on the sofa cushions, strode to the storage cabinet, and rummaged through it to find a beautifully packaged bag of kitten food.

At this moment, he was just an anxious old father who saw his sick child finally showing a glimmer of hope.

He knelt on one knee in front of the sofa, his movements quick yet orderly.

"Found it, it's what Xiaobai ate when he was little."

"Okay." Chen Nian's voice was calm and clear, like the most reliable guidance. "Put about 10 grams of dry food in a clean bowl."

"Xiaobai hasn't eaten for too long, and its stomach is fragile. We can't feed it too much at once."

wow-

A small pinch of light brown dried food fell into the bowl.

"Then take out two kibbles of my cat food, just two, crush them with your fingers, and sprinkle them evenly on the dry food."

Haina Shirakawa did as instructed.

The moment those two dark-colored granules were pinched apart between the fingertips, an even richer and more enticing aroma erupted!

This time, the reaction was violent!

The little white creature, which had been lying limply on the mat and struggling to stand up, suddenly mustered all its strength and managed to prop itself up on its weak forelimbs!
Like a fawn just learning to walk, its limbs trembled as it moved slowly and unsteadily, yet with unwavering determination, toward the bowl on the edge of the sofa that exuded a deadly, alluring aroma!

Meow—!

Its cries were no longer weak groans.

Instead, it was a clear, loud cry filled with longing!
Like a hungry cub calling for its mother!

The live chat was instantly flooded with a massive torrent of emotions:

"Aaaaaah, that's the sound! It's exactly the same as when my unfilial son begs for food!!"

"I cried! I really cried! Little White is saved!!"

"Our family's secret cat food lives up to its reputation! It can even cure anorexia?!"

If the comments section is like this, one can only imagine how close the sea and white river flows.

He was so excited that his fingers were trembling.

At that moment, he was more eager than anyone else to see what was about to happen.

Haina Shirakawa held his breath and carefully placed the bowl of cat food, which carried all his hopes, gently in front of Shirakawa.

Little Bai couldn't wait any longer and buried his whole head in the bowl.

Even because it moved too quickly, its little nose bumped against the bowl, making a soft 'ding' sound.

"Be careful."

Just as Hai Na Bai Chuan raised his hand, the next second, an incredibly beautiful and melodious sound clearly entered his ears and was also transmitted throughout the entire live broadcast room via the microphone:
Crunch crunch crunch
That's the sound of teeth crushing dry rations!
Life is regaining its vitality!

"It ate! Little White ate! It really ate!!!"

Haina Shirakawa was so excited that he became incoherent, and even let out a cheer that he himself had not expected, which was broken in voice!
All pretense of image and restraint vanished at that moment.

But the reactions from the comments section were no better than those from Haina Shirakawa.

In front of the screen, countless viewers reacted equally strongly.

Whether they were sitting at their desks, nestled on the sofa, or lying in bed watching the live stream, people couldn't help but clench their fists and cheer when they saw Xiaobai begin to chew and swallow slowly but powerfully. Some even jumped up from their chairs!

"Awesome!!!"

The screen was filled with exclamation marks and cheers that almost burst out of the screen.

As Chen Nian watched Xiao Bai burying his head in his food on the screen and listened to Hai Na Bai Chuan's excited voice, the huge weight that had been hanging over her chest finally settled completely.

call--

He let out a silent sigh of relief, a smile of immense satisfaction spreading across his face.

It worked!
