Pet King
chapter-1639

From little Wang's expression, Zhang Zian knew that he had guessed right.

As expected, Tian Qi immediately punched her boyfriend with her small fist and complained,"I told you to quit smoking a long time ago, but you refused to listen to me. You've finally quit smoking for two days, and now you're acting like you've lost your soul. You smoke again when I'm not paying attention ... What's so good about smoking? It's not only harmful to your health but also costs a lot of money. Why can't you change?"

Little Wang's face looked like he was constipated, and he was even more embarrassed in front of Zhao Qi and Zhang Zian. However, he was not in the right, so he could only apologize carefully without retaliating.

Tian Qi and little Wang had a good relationship, but they had quarreled more than once about smoking. Her heart ached for her boyfriend's health. He was tortured by work and smoking every day, but the key was that he did not realize this. Every time they talked about this, she would be angry.

What made her even angrier was that every time Xiaowang patted his chest and promised that this would be the last cigarette, he would never smoke again. She chose to believe him again and again, but he disappointed her again and again. He often smoked behind her back. This was not only a matter of smoking, but also a matter of integrity ... And now it was also related to the issue of raising a cat.

Xiaowang had his own difficulties. His family was in the countryside. He had tried smoking since he was young under the influence of his uncles and cousins. At that time, he was young and insensible. He only thought it was cool. Later, he unconsciously became "a little" dependent on smoking. If he didn't smoke for a day, he wouldn't be able to concentrate and his work efficiency would be affected. He didn't think he was addicted to smoking, and he would only smoke one pack a day at most. However, his girlfriend, who was easy to talk to, was not willing to give in to this problem.

As for drinking, neither of them felt that it was a serious problem. After all, men inevitably needed to drink at social gatherings, birthdays of elders, weddings, funerals, and other social events. If they didn't drink, they would be looked down upon and felt that they weren't manly enough. Therefore, she usually urged him to drink less and didn't force him to quit drinking like how she would quit smoking.

Zhang Zian used to have a few drinks when he was at work, but since he took over the Pet Shop, he basically didn't drink anymore, and he didn't have the opportunity to drink. After all, he had to pay for his own alcohol, which was not worth it.

In addition to any happy events in the store, he would have a can of cold beer when he went out to have a barbecue with the staff to celebrate. He usually did not drink on his own initiative because he knew that the smell of alcohol would hate cats and cat elves. If the favorability he had gained with great difficulty dropped because of the smell of alcohol, he would cry in the toilet.

There was only gender difference in cat-attracting qualities. If someone claimed to have a very strong cat-attracting physique, it was almost certain that they or she must have sprayed some kind of perfume on them. The perfume contained the smell of animals and plants that cats liked. It was the smell of perfume that attracted cats, just like how CG Cologne attracted big cats.

This had always been a scientific problem. Cats were attracted to people from far away because of their hearing and smell, but some people always thought it was metaphysical.

Little Wang was a man with a low voice. He had been smoking since he was a child and often went out to drink with his classmates and colleagues. It would be strange if cats liked him.

As for economic strength, height, face, mood, talent, future, humor, and self-improvement, which could be favored by human women, cats didn't care. After all, looking for a slave was not looking for a husband.

Zhao Qi added,""There's nothing good about drinking. Why don't you quit drinking as well? even cats dislike you, what's there to be reluctant about?"

The two women talked back and forth. Xiaowang had his own difficulties. He had come to buy a pet, but he had been dissed for no reason.

He quickly changed the topic and asked Zhang Zian,""About that ... I've already deeply understood the importance of quitting smoking and drinking, but you have to take things one step at a time, and you have to take a long journey step by step, right? Especially when it comes to quitting smoking and drinking, it can't be rushed. If you quit too quickly, it's easy to relapse ... But my girlfriend and I want to buy a pet now. I think if it's a cat that we've raised since we were young, it shouldn't be that bad, right? Isn't there a saying that a son doesn't mind his mother being ugly, and a dog doesn't mind his family being poor ..."

As soon as he said this, he also felt that it was a little wrong. Dogs didn't mind being poor, but cats might not.

"Kitten? We're all kittens here. " Zhang Zian raised his hand and motioned to him to see the kittens running around in the shop.

"Eh? This is a kitten? Aren't all cats half-grown? Do you have a smaller one?" Little Wang said awkwardly.

"...I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding of the definition of a kitten," Zhang Zian said.

Zhao Qi interrupted,"yeah!" I've told him about it, it's the "classic of cat appreciation" that you always talk about. The cats that are chosen are 120 days old, and they leave their mothers too quickly and fall sick ... But he just wants to raise a kitten, the smaller the better, he thinks that raising it from a young age will make it closer. "

This time, even Tian Qi could not help but nod, expressing that she also wanted to raise a cat from a young age, and the smaller the cat, the better.

In fact, this was the consensus of many people. They believed that pets should be raised from a young age. The younger they were, the closer they would be to themselves. More than one person came to the Pet Shop and felt that the cats and dogs here were too big. They turned around and left, insisting on buying kittens and puppies that were one or two months old. No matter how they were persuaded, they would not listen. They even said eloquently that all animals had a nestling complex and that the younger they were, the better.

This was a typical case of only knowing one thing and not knowing the other.

In the animal world, there was a kind of "marking phenomenon." In layman's terms, when newborn animals opened their eyes and saw the first life, they would recognize it as their mother and develop a strong attachment to it.

Because this phenomenon was first discovered in birds, it was also called the nestling complex.

There was a scientific basis for the engraving phenomenon, not pseudoscience, but many people believed that pets should be raised from a young age, which was wrong, because this phenomenon was not applicable everywhere, and it did not apply to all pets.

Birds had this phenomenon, and so did dogs. Birds and dogs raised from childhood were indeed closer to their owners when they grew up, but cats didn't have this phenomenon. To be more rigorous, there was no clear evidence to prove that cats had this phenomenon.

Was it a good thing to be closer to the master? Not necessarily.

Take children as an example. There was no objection to children being the closest to their parents. However, when children started primary school, they often listened to their teachers more. One word from the teacher was more effective than ten words from their parents.

It was the same for dogs. Dogs raised from a young age were indeed closer to their owners, but dogs needed to be trained. They should not be pampered blindly. Dogs should not treat their owners as parents, but should treat their owners as superiors and teachers to respect. So, when the dog was a little older, it would be easier to train it and let the dog understand its position in the family. Otherwise, something would happen sooner or later.

Things like big dogs tearing down homes and small dogs peeing and biting everywhere often gave many owners a headache, and there was no good way to deal with them. A large part of the reason was that dogs were brought home when they were too young, and the imprint phenomenon made them treat their owners as their parents. Of course, they could act coquettishly in front of their parents.

So what if he angered his master and gave him a beating? Look at those brats, which one of them is afraid of being beaten up by their parents?

The naughty child was like a dog that treated its owner as its parents. The more it was beaten, the more mischievous it became. In the end, there was no way to control it.

It would be even more tragic if the owner also treated the dog as a child.
