Chapter 12 castrate

2000/04/12 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Lao Le I did a stupid thing when I was a kid.I was in elementary school at the time, and my family lived in a one-story house. The window behind the house faced a half-desolate empty field.The cats in the neighborhood like to play there, and I like to lie on the window and watch them.Once I noticed two cats in a strange, tense pose.I've seen two cats threatening each other before, but not like this.It happened that I was writing some "scientific paper" at the time, and I wrote everything I saw that day as a kind of body language in the conflict between cats and cats.It wasn't until many years later that I realized that I was embarrassed to watch Mao's private affairs for a long time.

I did one more stupid thing like that.It was also when I was in elementary school, and our cat would clamor for the screen door to go to the yard all day long in certain months.At that time, I didn't know what "provoking spring" was. Instead, I expressed my feelings about how the kitten was also attracted by the red flowers and green grass in spring in a very traditional composition describing spring that I gave to the teacher. After all, I grew up and learned more about all aspects of cats.This also includes the "castrated cat" incident.My first impression of this word was not good.At that time, I had a colleague who had three or four cats at home, so there would often be an extra litter of kittens.I went to his house that day and asked his mother if he had any extra kittens for me now, and his mother replied, "No. There won't be any. Because I neutered them all." Followed by "Hahaha" A bunch of laughs.I know that this classmate's mother is a surgeon at the school hospital, and I don't doubt her skills, but I still feel that her laughter is very witch-like.

Later, I saw the word "castrate" more and more, one of which was in a newly published pet weekly calendar.The printing and binding of this week's calendar are very exquisite. From the beginning to the end, it emphasizes that animals are friends of human beings, and there are many small illustrations with similar warm sentiments interspersed between the words.In the chapter about raising cats, after introducing how to take care of and feed your kittens, the editor didn’t even forget to remind you to castrate them in time.Above a cartoon showing a group of kittens bouncing around, the editor also assured that "neutered kittens will be more healthy, cute and lively."Shortly thereafter, I saw another signboard on the side of the street that said "Small Animal Health Protection" on the top, and "Cause" written on the bottom in the same large font.

I don't have much research into cat health, but I've always had a hard time emotionally accepting this sort of thing.Now I am even more suspicious of a big female cat in another classmate's house in elementary school.According to human moral standards, this old female cat is very "shameless": she hangs out every day, and once she comes home, she must have a big belly; after she has a litter of kittens, she will go out to hang out again after her body recovers, until the next time Came back with a big belly.But we liked this female cat very much at the time, because she could provide us with a group of kittens that were not purebred but cute enough.In contrast, today's cats are really pitiful: there are few opportunities to go out for activities, and going out for a trip may not have any results.

I don't know if my thinking makes sense.Of course, I admit that I have never been very kind to cats.There have been 6 cats who have been with me day and night, and I have bullied each of them.However, I have always been proud of one thing: our family has never tampered with any of the cats.
