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

Chapter 66 The rescue is in progress

"It's right here!"

After confirming twice, Chen Nian was certain that Mao Mao was curled up in a corner of the platform.

He looked up at the bare platform.

There were no footholds or ladders to climb around.

"At this height..." Chen Nian frowned. "How can we go up without alerting it?"

Just as he was at his wit's end, he heard deliberately soft footsteps behind him.

Xia Qiyue arrived with Grandpa Ma.

"Chen Nian".

Reminded by Chen Nian, Xia Qiyue did not shout loudly, but asked softly after getting closer.

"You really found Mao Mao so quickly?"

"By the way, where is this place? It feels so desolate."

The environment here is indeed out of place compared to the tidy residential area just a hundred meters away; it's like a corner forgotten by the world.

Grandpa Ma looked around and said slowly.

"This basketball court has been abandoned for many years and is now used to store some debris and water pipes. Usually, no one comes here."

"Then how did you find this place?"

Xia Qiyue turned her gaze to Chen Nian, somewhat curious.

Chen Nian remained expressionless and replied, "I found it by chance when I was looking for Xiao Lan last time."

“I was thinking that since Grandpa Ma and the property management staff had searched the area thoroughly twice without finding anything, maybe Mao Mao was hiding in a place where no one comes here.”

"As I guessed, it turned out to be true."

He raised his hand and pointed to the platform in front of him.

"Huh?" Xia Qiyue and Grandpa Ma were both stunned for a moment, then looked up following his finger: "Mao Mao is up there?"

喵.
As if to confirm Chen Nian's words, or perhaps sensing that more and more people were gathering below, a faint but frightened meow came from the platform.

How did it get up there?

Grandpa Ma looked at the platform, which was more than three meters high, and scratched his head in confusion.

"I don't know." Chen Nian shook her head: "Maybe Mao Mao is still going strong despite its age? The key now is how to bring it down safely."

"I'll go get the ladder!" Grandpa Ma turned to leave.

"Wait!" Chen Nian quickly stopped him, her expression serious.

"Mao Mao is extremely stressed right now, on the verge of a stress reaction! If there's a loud noise while moving or setting up the ladder, it could trigger a stress reaction on the spot! And what about an eleven-year-old cat experiencing stress?"

He didn't finish speaking, but the consequences were obvious.

"Then, what should we do? We can't just wait for it to jump down on its own, can we?" Grandpa Ma was getting anxious and tried calling up twice, "Mao Mao? Mao Mao?"

There was no response on the platform.

Even the cries have stopped; clearly, the little guy on top has huddled up in fear.

Chen Nian frowned: "To get Mao Mao down safely, we must first calm it down, but calming it down requires someone to go up and touch it. But at this height, how can we get up there quietly?"

"too difficult!"

The surrounding environment is dilapidated, and even the slightest movement could cause even greater noise.

Things will only get worse then!
Just when Chen Nian and Grandpa Ma felt helpless, Xia Qiyue silently took a few steps back.

She looked up and carefully examined the height of the platform, then glanced at the relatively flat cement wall below it.

Then, she turned to Chen Nian, her voice extremely low:
"Chen Nian, if I move quietly enough and go straight up, will I startle it?"

"As long as it doesn't make a loud noise, it shouldn't make it more nervous," Chen Nian answered subconsciously, then realized what she meant and turned to look at her abruptly.

"What do you want to do?!"

Xia Qiyue had retreated to a place a few meters away from the base of the platform wall, and was slightly moving her wrists and ankles.

"What are you doing?" Xia Qiyue flashed him a bright, confident smile, revealing her pearly white teeth. "Of course, I'm going up to pick up Mao Mao and take her home!"

"Make way." She gestured for Chen Nian and Grandpa Ma to step aside.

Immediately afterwards, she took a deep breath, lightly touched the cleared ground with her toes, and her body shot towards the platform with lightness and swiftness like an arrow released from a bow!

It landed without a sound!

Her movements were as fluid as a nimble cat before it goes hunting!
When she was about a meter away from the wall, Xia Qiyue suddenly leaped up, stepped on the flat wall with her left foot and pushed off with all her might, while at the same time she used her right hand to push upwards against the wall!
In a flash, her left hand, like an eagle's claw, precisely and powerfully gripped the edge of the platform!
The right hand followed closely behind!
Finally, exert force with both arms at the same time, straighten your waist and abdomen, and push your legs upward!
The entire movement was fluid and lightning fast!
The next second, Xia Qiyue had already silently and steadily stood on the platform, without disturbing a speck of dust from beginning to end.

"It's done."

She dusted off her hands, tilted her chin down, and looked completely relaxed.

Below the platform, Chen Nian and Grandpa Ma stared in disbelief, their mouths slightly agape, as if frozen in time.

This woman... is she some kind of cat demon reincarnated?!
"How...how did you get up there?" Chen Nian was a little stunned.

"That's how we got up here."

Xia Qiyue smiled, her eyes narrowing.

Then she turned around and her tone became serious: "Chen Nian, I saw Mao Mao, it's exactly the same as the one Grandpa Ma drew."

"But its current condition might not be so good."

Her tone grew softer and softer.

She was afraid of startling the white cat that was not far from her, which was curled up in the corner with its eyes staring at her in fear.

Xia Qiyue's words brought Chen Nian back to her senses instantly.

He quickly asked, "What's the situation with Mao Mao now?"

"Airplane ears, continuous gasping for breath, violent chest heaving, and being very scared."

Xia Qiyue's reply was precise and concise, allowing Chen Nian to instantly assess Mao Mao's condition.

This is mild stress!
His brows furrowed tightly!

Stress can be very dangerous for cats.

In severe cases, it could directly lead to heart failure or sudden death!
Mao Mao is now eleven years old, definitely a senior cat, and the possibility of her getting sick is very high.

It's okay if it's just mild stress now, but if it drags on for too long and turns into severe stress, the consequences will be unimaginable!
At this point, whether you try to grab the fur or continue to approach it...

All of these could exacerbate the stress on the furry friend!

Chen Nian's thoughts raced.

They immediately made the most correct decision at that moment.

He put his hand in his pocket, then took out a small jar and threw it at Xia Qiyue.

"then."

After Xia Qiyue caught it, she immediately saw what was inside the small jar.

Chen Nian's family-inherited catnip!

Catnip has a calming effect on cats, making it perfect for this emergency!

Xia Qiyue immediately understood Chen Nian's thoughts.

She nodded to Chen Nian, then opened the small jar, sipped some catnip with her finger, and then, under Chen Nian's approving gaze, carefully and gently tossed it towards the furry friend in the corner.

The movement, which is from bottom to top, does not make Mao Mao feel threatened.

Distributing the spray from a distance is also a very correct procedure.

Soon, the powdered catnip drifted towards Mao Mao with a gentle breeze and entered its pink nose with its breath.

Meow?
Instantly, Mao Mao's previously terrified vertical pupils slowly transformed into a black full moon.
