When a cat makes a sound, it immediately causes all the cats to bark, and "meow meow" non-stop.

And some cats swaggered to the girl's feet, rubbing the girl's shoes with their heads, and some gently biting the girl's shoes and socks with their mouths. The tabby cat jumped out and looked at Richard with vigilance, its body low, as if it would attack at any moment.

The girl's face changed slightly, she looked at Richard with a nervous expression, and said in a voice: "That, don't be afraid, these cats are not evil creatures, they ...... They are very docile pets, they will not attack you, and they will not bring you misfortune and calamity. Just now, I was only struck by one of them, 'Napoleon', and I screamed, and I was not hurt. So...... So ......"

The girl was obviously a little incoherent, and she didn't know what to say, so she said abruptly for a long time: "My grandfather agreed to raise them, so, you ...... You can't let me kill them. ”

With that, the girl looked at Richard with wide eyes.

"Huh?"

Richard listened to the girl's words, and was stunned for a moment, but then understood: it was obvious that the girl felt that he, like most people in the current world, hated cats very much, and would persuade the girl to kill the cat with righteousness or "good intentions", so the girl did it.

But...... He doesn't like cats much, but he doesn't hate them either.

In his opinion, cats, especially docile cats, are still good as pets. Quiet and not intrusive. Of course, it would be perfect if you could sleep almost twenty-four hours a day like Pandora.

Richard thought, looked at the girl and said, "Don't worry, I don't think they're evil, and I won't let you kill them." I don't have any prejudices against cats, and I treat them the same as the rest of the animals, whether they are good or bad. ”

"Really?" the girl was a little surprised, her already big eyes opened wider, flickering, slowly revealing a light of joy.

"Really. Richard nodded in confirmation.

"Whew. The girl breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out her hand, "My name is Heidi, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Uh. Richard stretched out his hand and shook the girl's hand, "Richard." ”

After saying his name, Richard didn't want to continue to entangle with the girl, and said, "Since you're fine, it seems that I'm too worried, so I'll go back to the waiting room and wait first." ”

......The woman named Heidi nodded and was about to agree, when suddenly the sound of boiling water sounded in the kitchen.

"Ahh ”

"......Well," the girl turned to look at Richard and pleaded, "Well, since you don't hate cats, can you take care of them for me? ”

"This ......," Richard hesitated.

The girl bowed deeply and begged again, "Please." ”

"Uh...... All right. Richard said.

"Thank you. The girl said, listening to the sound of boiling water in the kitchen, and ran quickly to the kitchen, while Richard walked into the room full of cats.

Cats are very territorial creatures, and they are very vigilant creatures. As soon as the girl left, Richard walked into the room and was immediately treated with extreme coldness and even hostility.

Most of the cats retreated into the corner, looking at Richard warily. And the already hostile tabby striped cat arched his body, his eyes showed a dangerous light, and he looked at Richard menacingly, as if he would attack at any moment.

Richard had expected this, looked at the tabby striped cat, squinted his eyes and whispered, "Don't mess with me, I'm just entrusted by your master to stand here for a while." So, just keep it that way, good faith. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

The tabby striped cat seemed to understand Richard's words, purring in its mouth and retreating a little.

Just when Richard breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that he could live in peace with a group of cats, the tabby striped cat suddenly flicked on the ground, like an arrow, and its claws popped out of its claws, scratching it fiercely.

Richard looked at it, couldn't help frowning, and sighed lightly, but he was not afraid.

He can even collect pirates, demonic creatures, and bloodline seeds, and for a cat, he can easily defeat them.

But it's not enough to just defeat, you have to have a proper way to deal with it.

After all, you can't kill a cat like a pirate, can you?

If you really do this, when the girl called Heidi comes back, half of them may take the initiative to apologize and understand this practice with red eyes, and the other half may be desperate with gritted teeth and tears.

And let the cat attack, naturally it can't work.

Richard pursed his lips, thought for a while, and made a decision. The next moment, the tabby striped cat scurried closer, and Richard reached out like lightning, grabbed it in mid-air, and accurately grabbed the back of the tabby striped cat's neck.

"Meow—"

The tabby striped cat squealed weakly, and then, as if petrified, was left motionless in mid-air by Richard's neck.

Richard held the tabby cat in front of him and asked, "Are you still fierce?"

The tabby cat remained motionless, but the revealed gaze was still hostile—giving a silent answer.

Richard was a little helpless, and could think that once he let go of the cat, the other party would definitely attack again.

So what to do?

His eyes flashed slightly, and the next moment, Richard thought of something, flipped his hand, and took out a small iron clip from the space iron ring. The iron clip was originally used by him to hold some papyrus materials, but now it can be used on cats.

With a soft "click", Richard broke the small iron clamp with one hand, clamped it on the neck of the tabby striped cat, and then let go and put the tabby striped cat on the ground.

It's also strange to say that the tabby striped cat, which was originally menacing, after stepping on the ground, tilted its body, fell directly crooked, and lay on the ground motionless. Its eyes looked at Richard, puffing up, its eyes still full of hostility, and there was a bit of doubt in the hostility - it was also curious why its body was suddenly out of control.

Richard was well aware of why.

This is mainly an animal like a cat, when the cub is very mobile, in order to avoid danger, it will be transferred by the mother often holding the back of the neck.

And in the process of transferring, the pups that are picked up are honest and immobile, which is obviously helpful for adult cats. Therefore, in the long process of biological evolution, cats and other animals have gradually evolved this special ability - every time the back of the neck is clamped, the heart rate will decrease, and then the body will stiffen and become passive.

Of course, this is not to say that with a slight clamp, the cat will be completely restrained, in which case it is not an advantage, but a fatal flaw.

In fact, the probability of success of clamping the cat and making the cat incapacitated is affected by various factors such as the cat's own willpower: cats with weak willpower, timidity, and less experience have a higher chance of success, while cats with strong willpower, fierceness, and more experience have a lower probability of success.

The tabby cat may be fierce, but it is likely to be the first time to experience this kind of thing, and the willpower is not very strong, and it is decisive and unable to move.

Seeing the tabby cat fall to the ground quietly, Richard exhaled lightly, feeling that a problem had been solved. I was about to relax, but the next moment I felt something, and when I turned my head, I saw that many cats in the corner were looking straight and full of unkindness, as if they felt that their companions were hurt and were ready to work together to rescue.

"Not really. Richard said.

As soon as the words fell, many cats rushed straight over, like heroic warriors besieging the evil giants, going forward one after another, fearless of death.

At this moment, the many cats seemed to be roaring, as if they were roaring: beast ...... Cat people, never slaves!

Richard: "......"
