The group returned to the entrance of the cat area, where a staff member dressed as a cat mascot stood.

The cat has two pink cloth ears on its round head, which wiggle as it walks.

Xiao Douzi and Duo Duo tiptoed and handed over their passports, watching as the staff member stamped a large cat paw print stamp onto the inside page with a "snap"—

A pink cat paw print, the little paw pads are very clear.

The two huddled together to examine the stamp, nodded in satisfaction, and then continued walking towards the next area.

In the corridor leading to the dog area, the wall color changed from the light pink of the cat area to a warm beige, and a row of running dog silhouettes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, big and small, were printed on the wainscoting, stretching all the way forward.

Before the door to the dog enclosure was even opened, a cacophony of barking could be heard from inside.

High-pitched, low-pitched, shrill, deep... all sorts of cries overlapped together.

The moment I pushed open the door and entered—

A golden retriever from inside the fence came flying at us, its front paws landing on the railing with a "thud".

The dog is over a meter tall when it stands up, with its mouth wide open, tongue lolling out from the corner of its mouth, and tail wagging like a propeller behind it.

A pair of big, watery eyes stared excitedly at the newcomers, her pupils darting back and forth, while she made coquettish "woo-woo" sounds.

Xiao Douzi reached into the bag of dried meat given to him by the staff and pulled out a piece.

Then I learned the methods taught by the staff—

Place the dried meat in your outstretched palm and carefully hand it over.

With a flick of its golden tongue, the jerky vanished without a trace.

His wet tongue licked her fingers again, still wanting more; they were warm, rough, and had an animalistic warmth about them.

She pulled her hand back because it tickled, and looking at the shiny drool marks on the back of her hand, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As you continue walking in, you'll see rows of kennels, each with its own unique style, on both sides.

Sunlight streamed through the wood-look grille, casting stripes of light and dark on the ground, while a warm, furry feeling lingered in the air.

They saw a dachshund with a long body, its four short legs moving quickly as it walked.

I saw a fluffy Chow Chow, the whole dog looked like a breathing ball of fur, with its blue tongue sticking out from its fur, it was really adorable.

I saw a Cocker Spaniel with ears that looked like two small fans. When it ran, its big ears would pat its head "slap slap," as if it were fanning itself.

……

They saw all sorts of dogs of different breeds.

In the far corner, there was a Bichon Frise getting its hair styled at the grooming table—

The dog was pure white, its curly fur fluffy like a torn cotton candy, and it sat round and plump on the grooming table.

A pair of bright black eyes peeked out from the thick white fur, remaining obediently still.

The beautician combed her hair left and right, finally tying it into a small, upright bun with a pink rubber band tied to it.

"Wow—!!!" Xiao Douzi and Duoduo exclaimed at the same time.

Without saying a word, the two climbed onto the railing, stood on tiptoe, rested their chins on the top of the railing, and stared intently, almost forgetting to close their mouths.

The comments section erupted in exclamations of surprise, scrolling up from the bottom of the screen one after another.

[Commoner Zhang Hu: Good heavens, that dog! Its fur is all curly, snow-white! It looks so soft, like a ball of white fluff.]

[Commoner Lin Lao Er: It's still so obedient; no matter how I tease it, it won't budge.]

[Friday, Commoner: There were so many cats in the cat section I couldn't count them all, and now the dog section has all sorts of different kinds? It's truly an eye-opener!]

……

The two little girls were so captivated by the Bichon Frise that they couldn't move, their eyes glued to the fluffy white creature.

Finally, Lin Ye glanced down at his watch, then looked up and calmly reminded him:

"There are still many areas ahead!"

The tone was casual, but the last syllable rose slightly, carrying a hint of alluring suspense.

Xiao Douzi and Duo Duo then peeled themselves off the railing. Xiao Douzi, with reluctance in his eyes, silently waved goodbye to the Bichon Frise.

Duoduo waved her whole arm, whispering, "Bye-bye, little pigtails..."

Next, we entered the area for other mammals.

The moment the door was pushed open, the light seemed to dim slightly as if by an invisible hand—

Not all of this area is exposed under the glass dome; the overhead lights are dimmed to a soft, warm yellow, as if simulating the light and shadow in the woods at dusk.

A faint scent of hay wafted in the air, mixed with a barely perceptible hint of wood shavings; inhaling it brought a dry, warm feeling to the nose.

In the first display case at the entrance, two Totoro are perched on a curved wooden frame, their large ears erect, with pink veins showing through their earlobes.

One of them was holding a square piece of grass cake in its tiny paws and munching on it quickly, its three-lobed mouth moving so fast it was almost a blur.

Debris dripped from between the claws, accumulating in a small clump under the wooden frame.

"Ah—" Xiao Douzi pressed her whole body against the glass of the display case, pressing her nose into a small, flat circle, and the hot breath she exhaled spread out in a white mist on the glass.

She turned to look at Lin Ye, excitedly and curiously asking in a low voice, "Godfather! What kind of animal is this? It's so small and cute!"

"Totoro." Lin Ye stood half a step behind her, leaned down slightly, glanced at the explanatory plaque hanging on the display case, and replied gently.

"Although it's called Totoro, it's actually not a cat; it's a type of rodent."

"A mouse?" Little Douzi's eyes widened. "It's so cute, yet it's a mouse?" His tone was full of shock and disbelief.

Next to the Totoro were several guinea pigs, huddled together, heads down, eating lettuce.

Three round bodies huddled together side by side, bottom to bottom, squeezed tightly together, each one as round as a small, hairy watermelon.

Their mouths kept moving, making a soft "crunching" sound, and the lettuce leaves rapidly shrank from the edges.

Duoduo looked for a while, as if she had discovered something. She stretched out a finger and pointed directly at one of the black and white patterned ones, saying with certainty:

"This is just the fattest one!"

[Commoner Zhao Xiaoniu: What?! This is a rat!? Aren't rats all grayish-brown, stealing grain and biting people? This thing is so clean and white, it's a rat too!?]

[Commoner Chen Genzi: Totoro? A name with both dragon and cat in it, but it's a mouse? The immortals really know how to name things...]

[Commoner Liu Ergou: ...A pig? Such a small pig? If my pigs were this big, there wouldn't even be enough meat to fill their teeth...but they're kind of cute though...]

[Old Mrs. Wu: Guinea pig? Why is this animal, which looks like a tailless mouse, called a pig? Oh dear, this old woman is so confused...]

……

Two staff members walked over, each carrying an Angora rabbit.

The moment the rabbit appeared, both girls' eyes widened simultaneously.
