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

Chapter 8 Abyssinian Cats and Cat Maids
"Whoa! Did I enter the wrong live stream? Is this still the same live stream room that was under construction and unfinished?!"

"Look at you, Nian-ge, completely transformed!"

"Sure enough, clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse; the live stream room also needs to be decorated."

As soon as Chen Nian started airing, the longtime fans who flocked in were immediately impressed.

The originally monotonous live stream background was completely transformed overnight, with many distinctive decorative items added, instantly highlighting the unique features of the live stream and making it immediately clear that this was a live stream about cats.

For new followers, this kind of live stream background is also very appealing.

So cute!

Faced with the praise in the live chat, Chen Nian chuckled.

"Didn't I promise you yesterday that I would decorate the background? So I went out early this morning to order and purchase. Do you see this display case?"

"I'm pretending!"

Chen Nian patted the display case, pointed her thumb at herself, and looked proud.

"I'm exhausted! My back still hurts!"

"Thank you for your hard work, streamer!"

A few small gifts were sent.

With more people, the gifts became more plentiful.

Within just five minutes of the broadcast starting, the number of online viewers surpassed Chen Nian's previous peak and steadily settled at around three hundred!

Welcome, new members!

Chen Nian sat up straight and smiled slightly at the screen.

The lucky cat figurine beside me is bringing in a lot of good fortune.

"In case any new friends are unfamiliar with the process of this live stream, let me give a brief introduction first."

"This live broadcast is divided into three parts."

"The first segment is popular science."

"I will choose a cat breed that is not commonly seen by the public to explain, so that everyone can learn about the background and stories of different cat breeds."

"The second stage"

Before Chen Nian could even speak, the comments section was already flooded with the words "Show Off Your Cat" (a play on words, implying a cat-themed segment).

Chen Nian grinned.

"Actually, it's the cat identification process!"

"I will randomly connect with lucky viewers to show them other people's beloved cats and also to do a quick check on their physical condition, hence the name 'Cat Appraisal Segment'."

"What?! This is clearly a cat-showing-off segment!"

"Yeah, yeah, it's so annoying! Why do other people have such cute cats? I want one too!"

"It's a pity my mom won't let me keep pets, otherwise I'd definitely keep a big orange cat. Hmm, never mind, I can't afford it."

Longtime fans corrected Chen Nian's pronunciation, while new fans asked questions by pinpointing the exact words.

"Host, is that cloud cat the one that appeared during the cat-showing segment?"

"It's the cat identification process."

Chen Nian corrected him and then nodded.

"Yes, I didn't expect to be so lucky to be able to connect with the endangered clouded cat."

Thinking of the cloud cat that brought about a turning point, Chen Nian felt a surge of emotion.

In this era where traffic is king, an 'accidental' live stream connection can indeed change so much!

Comment: "What is a cloud cat?"

Chen Nian pointed to the top left corner of the screen.

"You can follow my account. I update videos every day, and the videos will have my explanations in more detail. If you want to learn about Yunmao or other cats, you can check them out."

Yesterday, the video about Yunmao received over 100,000 views and more than 3,000 likes.

The likes ratio is very high!
As a result, the traffic for other videos also surged!

This made Chen Nian sigh, no wonder so many people choose to do live streaming now. It's true that when one person succeeds, even their chickens and dogs benefit. Becoming an overnight sensation is a common occurrence.

As for the third segment of the live stream...
Chen Nian didn't even need to say it; the comments section had already explained it for him.

Chen Nian was happy to save herself the trouble.

"Alright, without further ado, let's begin today's science lesson."

"Today, I'm going to introduce a feline guest: the Abyssinian cat from the UK, also known as the Ethiopian cat, which originated in the 60s." Chen Nian displayed a picture of an Abyssinian cat on her tablet for the audience to see.

"What a smart cat!"

"so cute!"

"This head-to-body ratio... could it be from One Piece?!"

"Being single for so long, even a cat seems handsome to me. Am I hopeless?"

Chen Nian laughed.

"It's perfectly normal to think someone has delicate features!"

"Because these cats are indeed very delicate, and because of their graceful gait, they are also known as ballet cats."

Abyssinian cats are slender and muscular.

With a wedge-shaped head, large eyes, and distinctive coat texture, as well as large, erect ears, it is often affectionately known as the 'bunny cat' in the UK.

"If you look closely, you can see that they have many spots on their faces, which makes them look like small cougars."

Chen Nian zoomed in on the picture, showing the details to the audience.

"It really is!"

"I knew it looked like some kind of animal! Turns out it was a cougar!"

"I've always wanted a cat, but I didn't know which breed to get. After seeing this cat, I fell in love with it at first sight! I've made up my mind! I must have an Ethiopian cat in my home within a month!"

"I want to have one too, streamer, where can I buy one of these cats?"

"It looks very expensive; I've never even heard of it in regular pet stores."

Chen Nian shrugged at the barrage of requests to buy, giving off a helpless expression.

"Unfortunately, this relatively uncommon breed is rarely imported by reputable catteries in China, and it is indeed difficult to find a reliable source."

After all, many cat breeds are not known to the general public, which results in these cats having no market in China, and naturally, they are not seen in pet stores.

Without demand, there is no market.

What Chen Nian needs to do now is to try her best to popularize the breeds of these less common cats.

Let more people know that there are so many cuter and more unique cats out there, waiting to meet their owners.

Since there was no way to see Chen Nian, the viewers in the live chat had no choice but to give up.

Some people felt the pictures weren't clear enough and hoped Chen Nian could release some clearer ones.

Chen Nian had also been troubled by this for a long time.

Unfortunately, some less common cat breeds simply cannot be found in high-definition on domestic websites, and even searching on foreign websites using a VPN is difficult. Dogs, on the other hand, are a completely different story.

"I will definitely find a way to solve the problem with the image!"

As time passed, the first segment of the science popularization activity came to an end.

Viewers in the live chat expressed that they hadn't seen enough.

This kind of segment, which allows viewers to appreciate cats they've never seen before while also expanding their knowledge in the field, is very popular with some viewers.

But most of the comments were just two words.

"Show off your cat! Show off your cat!"

"The streamer has chosen me! The cat maid is ready and waiting to make her grand entrance!"

"I want to see Cat Maid, streamer."

"Is it the catgirl type?"

Chen Nian glanced at the comments and felt that she had seen this cat maid yesterday.

"Okay, that's as you wish."

He clicked on the live chat request, found the ID that was speaking, and accepted it immediately.

The screen is split.

As the image on the right appears, a black and white calico cat with a very even color scheme appears on the screen.

But the next second, Chen Nian and the entire live stream chat froze!

The barrage of comments was flooded with question marks from the explosion!
"??????"

"Dude, whose black and white cat is two-tone?!"

"Oreos have come to life?!"
