It should be emphasized that people who are not familiar with pets often confuse the "sexual maturity period" and the "complete development period" and confuse these two different concepts.

Just take humans as an example to understand.

Little kids at the age of thirteen or fourteen or even younger have reached the stage of sexual maturity. They have sex very well with early marriage, early childbirth, early pregnancy, and early abortion. However, they cannot be said that they have grown up and still have to be protected by the protection law of minors. It is not legally designated for adults until they are eighteen. It is not until they are in their early twenties that their brain and body finally stop developing, and this is the end of the full development period.

Let’s compare it with cats. If your cat is not allowed to get married early, childbirth, early pregnancy, and early abortion, sterilization surgery can be performed when the sexual maturity period arrives. It is equivalent to a human being who goes to the palace to serve the emperor when he is thirteen or fourteen years old, but his body will continue to develop after entering the palace.

Most cats stop developing in about a year, while a few cats have a full development period of up to three years.

Zhao Qi secretly sighed that although she had been raising a cat for a long time, she often talked very well when chatting in the company, which attracted the envy of many young sisters, every time she came to Qiyuan Pet Shop, she still felt like a newbie who just raised a cat and could always learn new things.

At the same time, she was also glad that fortunately, she did not listen to the advice of her bad friend Shishi and beat Lanlan to correct her actions. This would undoubtedly make Lanlan sad because it clearly wanted to protect her. The misunderstanding was entirely because humans always speculated on the psychology of cats from their own perspective. If a child is not a cat, how can he know the joy of a cat?

Even so, Wang Yan and Zhou Jiena seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and unknowingly let go of their guard.

Whether it is a home-bred cat, a CFA certified cathouse, or an ordinary pet store, whether it is an unscrupulous business is not determined by these identities, but by the operator's own quality and willingness.

"Okay, I'll give it a lesson here on the big weekend, so I'll say goodbye first." Zhao Qi said. Although it was a class, he did not have the boringness of learning knowledge in school, but instead felt it was very fulfilling.

"Are you going to meet Shishi?" Zhang Zian looked at her shopping bag and thought to himself why he was the same person, so why did he spend money like he couldn't spend it?

Zhao Qi's expression froze, "Yes, Shishi is still waiting for me... Forget it, let her boyfriend go with her. I got up too early today and was a little sleepy. Let's go home."

Zhang Zi'an: "..." You just put your best friend's pigeon in such an understatement?

Zhao Qi is really not in the mood to continue shopping now. As mentioned before, the fundamental reason why she went out today is that she doesn't want to stay at home to use the toilet, and then Lanlan stares at it all the time. But she no longer feels weird anymore, so there is no need to make herself very tired on weekends. It's better to go home and have a good rest and welcome Monday's work and overtime work.

The most important thing is that before Lanlan truly grew up as an adult cat, she wanted to accompany it more, as if there was a wealth that was lost and regained in front of her. She didn't know how to cherish it before, but she didn't want to miss it in the future.

After coming out of the pet shop, she waved her hand to stop a taxi and reported her community name. When she got into the car, she sent a message to Shishi, telling Shishi that she would not go to the appointment and temporarily turned off her phone because she could imagine how Shishi, who had been put on a pigeon, would get furious and would be bombarded if she could not contact her message.

The taxi parked at the entrance of the community. She paid and got out of the car and quickly walked towards the unit building where she lived.

"Oh, Zhao Qi, I went out early in the morning? Are you just coming back?"

Zhao Qi turned his head and saw that it was Liu Wenying and her daughter Yueyue walking in the community. She was also holding a white cat with a leash in her hand, and she was greeting her with a smile.

This white cat is smaller than Lanlan in her family. It is a local cat. It is not as lively as the Siamese before Liu Wenying, and it looks a little timid. When he saw Zhao Qi, he hid behind Liu Wenying and stared at her timidly.

"Yes, I just came back from outside." Zhao Qi smiled and squatted down and said to Yueyue: "Yueyue, are you out to bask in the sun?"

The sun is bright in the morning of early summer, the weather is not hot, and the breeze is buzzing, so don’t worry about catching a cold, and there are not as many mosquitoes in midsummer. It is a good time to take your children out to bask in the sun.

Yueyue is also very shy, but she is quite familiar with Zhao Qi. When she meets her frequently, she nods in a low voice and responds: "Hello Sister Qi Qi."

"So well-behaved!"

Zhao Qi scraped the nose of Yueyue with his fingers, and then noticed several unknown little yellow flowers that Yueyue was holding.

"Yueyue, where are the flowers you picked? Are they dirty?" she asked.

"Under the tree..." Yueyue turned around and replied in a humble voice.

"Yueyue likes flowers?" Zhao Qi asked again.

Yueyue looked up at her mother, and received her mother's encouragement and replied, "Go and see Maomao."

Go...see Maomao?

Maomao is the name of Siam that died of rabies in the past.

Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Liu Wenying.

Liu Wenying nodded and confirmed her question and said frankly: "Yueyue missed Maomao, so she took her to the grave to put a bouquet of flowers, and by the way, she also put a bouquet of flowers for Bai Bai's mother's grave."

Baibai is the name of this little white cat. Its mother is a white stray cat. During the once noisy cat abuse storm throughout the city, Liu Wenying buried the body of the big white cat and Maomao's ashes together.

Zhao Qi has heard of the cat abuse storm. She has often seen related reports on forums or Weibo before, but these reports are rarely seen at present.

"Sister Wenying..."

She admires Liu Wenying very much. Although she doesn't know how Liu Wenying explained the deaths of Maomao and Big White Cat to her daughter, parents usually deliberately avoid the concept of "death" to their children.

Liu Wenying smiled faintly, "It's nothing. I used to take my children to sweep the tombs for my elders."

Zhao Qi flipped through the shopping bag, picked a fake flower from the outer packaging of a piece of clothing, and handed it to Yueyue, "Yueyue, Lanlan and Maomao from my sister's house are good friends. Can you bring this bouquet of flowers to Maomao for Lanlan, okay?"

"good."

Yueyue stretched out her hand to take it and held it tightly in her palm. She had seen Lanlan from Zhao Qi's family, and sometimes she took the cat to Zhao Qi's house to visit. She used to be Maomao, but now she is Baibai.

"So good." Zhao Qi gently rubbed Yueyue's little cerebral again.

Seeing Liu Wenying holding hands with Yueyue, and walking towards the green space of the community, Zhao Qi was even more worried about Lanlan at home.

Lanlan will grow up, grow old, and one day she will die. This is the inevitable ending of everything.

However, before that day comes, she and Lanlan still have a long way to go together.
