Chapter 3 Owl Letter
It was a rare sunny day in London today, and the warm sunshine fell on everyone, making most people feel happy.
London's animals seem to have come out of their hiding places because of this rare weather. Dogs are running wild on the streets, and cats are lying on high places such as trees and rooftops, lazily basking in the sun. The sun, and even the usually rare owls, began to appear in groups, flying quickly over everyone's heads.
On Christchurch Road, Little John ran out of his home holding his newly bought football. He planned to take advantage of the good weather to have a good game with his friends.
"Ah! It's Monkstrip!"
When he passed a mailbox, he saw a tabby kitten lying on it and couldn't help but stop.
This tabby kitten was the fish-stealing kitten he saw at Uncle Evans' house not long ago. After Uncle Evans specially prepared fish meat for this kitten, he gradually stopped hiding and began to show up blatantly. In front of everyone.
I don’t know why, but this cat has a special charm. Everyone who has seen this kitten loves it. Even the old miser in the tailor shop will use his daughter to make it from time to time. He also gave him some snacks to feed him, and the business of Evans' shop even improved a lot because of the cat's appearance.
The only regret is that this kitten doesn't seem to be very close to him. No matter how many people feed him, he will never be approached, let alone petted.
And according to the adults, this kitten's appetite does not seem to match his body shape, but this is not an important thing to little John. The biggest wish for him and his friends at the moment is to be able to pet him To this proud little kitty.
And they also named the kitten Monkstrip based on the content in a fairy tale book...
It's just that the little tabby cat has never reacted to this name.
Little John held his breath and carefully and quietly approached Monkstrip who was lying on the mailbox. Unfortunately, when he got closer to about three meters, the tabby kitten was squinting and basking in the sun. He raised his head instantly and stared at Little John with a pair of green eyes, making him not dare to get any closer.
"Ah...failed again..."
Little John took two steps back. After seeing Monkstreep lying down again, he stamped his feet unwillingly, but he did not continue to try because he did not want to disturb Monkstreep's rest.
Helpless, he could only leave with the football in his arms and run to find his friends.
"I'll definitely touch you! Munch!"
Little John dropped his harsh words before leaving.
The tabby kitten opened one eye slightly and looked at Little John's retreating back, with a very human expression of disdain on his face.
Stupid humans.
With the tabby kitten's intelligence, he had already understood that Monkstrip was the name given to him by those human cubs, but the name was smelly and long, and he didn't like it at all.
What's more, the tabby kitten had already given himself a name. It was his favorite food at the time. In human language, it should be called...Fish?
Although his favorite foods now include birds and sausages, the tabby kitten has no plans to change his name.
After shaking his ears, Feish closed his eyes and continued to bask in the sun comfortably.
Weather like this is rare, so we can't waste it.
Until the sun was once again obscured by clouds and mist in the sky, Fei Xu slowly stood up from the mailbox, raised his butt high and stretched, then licked his paws and rubbed his face. He jumped down from the mailbox, shook his hair, raised his tail high, and walked briskly towards the end of the street.
"Meow~"
When Fish passed by, all the cats that were still fighting and licking each other came up to him, and the playful dogs barked at him and swung their tails behind them quickly. If Fish hadn't been able to " Anyone who understands the language of dogs will think that they are provoking themselves.
Because in the cat world, wagging the tail quickly is an aggressive tendency.
As for the reason why these cats and dogs are so close to him, Fish has become accustomed to it.
【Animal Friendly】
Most animals will feel affection for you.
In Feixu's memory, this strange knowledge that pops up from time to time only appeared after he ate a shiny bead, and since then, he has inexplicably understood a lot of things. Everything about her has become richer, her body has become extremely strong, and there are a bunch of strange changes...
For example, this figure has never grown well.
But Fei Xu doesn't pay too much attention to these things. Anyway, he has food and sleep. Most animals will not be his enemies. Even a few bad-tempered ones can't defeat him, so there is nothing to worry about. What about?
After playing with each other for a while with many of the same kind, everyone dispersed.
Although everyone is friendly to Fish under the influence of animal affinity, cats are always very self-centered creatures. Saying hello to each other and licking their fur is enough. They still have their own things to do. Woolen cloth.
Such as sleeping, fluttering butterflies, fighting with one's hind legs, etc.
After walking around the nearby block and being fully active, Fish was also a little hungry. He squatted on the roof, wagging his tail unconsciously while thinking about where to find food.
The fish had been eaten in the morning, and the rats in the nearby streets were becoming fewer and fewer due to the predation of himself and his peers. The snacks fed by the wrinkled human in the tailor shop were a good choice, but he always wanted to catch himself while he was eating, and it was too tiring to eat...
A brown-gray figure passed in front of Fei Xu, making him lick his teeth subconsciously.
These guys who can fly in the sky always taste good, but they are more difficult to catch.
And if you go to the square to hunt pigeons, humans often intervene and drive away the prey you have set your sights on.
It's very annoying.
Fei Xu stared at the figure of the bird in the sky with his big green eyes, and the amplitude of shaking his tail gradually increased.
Because the brown-gray figure in the sky was not a common pigeon or robin, but a strange bird that was larger and looked fat.
Now Fei Xu's desire to hunt became stronger.
How can I eat these fat birds in the sky?
Staring at the fat birds flying away, Fei Xu fell into deep thought.
Then gradually, a strange feeling rose from Feishi's body, and at the same time, a piece of knowledge that came from nowhere entered his mind.
[Animal Tracking]
Can sense the location of all animals within a certain range.
[Wild Marking]
Leave a mark on an animal, greatly increasing the range of perception.
Feishi narrowed his eyes.
It seems that his food is settled.
Regarding the intelligence of the protagonist, it was mentioned in the first chapter that the Heart of Nature has the effect of increasing intelligence.
…
The name Monkstrup comes from the musical "Cats", which is the hero cat character in it, and the fur color is also black and white stripes.
The fairy tale book mentioned here refers to the adaptation of the original work, the fairy tale poetry collection "Old Possum's Book of Cats" written by T.S. Eliot, but there is no hero cat character in the original work, nor other black and white cats. The name Monkstrup is only mentioned in the three names of the cats introduced at the beginning.
This is a small easter egg I buried. In fact, I thought about preparing three names for the protagonist according to the "Cats Book", but it was too troublesome, so I gave up.
As for the name of the protagonist, I also considered the Chinese Ghost Festival, or a variant of Halloween, but finally chose the name Fish, which is actually more translated as Fish, but the name Fish looks more upscale.
The original meanings of many foreign names are actually very simple, such as Black, Green, White and other color names, and Bacon and other food names, so I think it’s not a big deal to call him Fish.
