Chapter 23 Taking a Bath

For the rest of the time, Chen Rang leisurely bathed the cat, while Ni Youlin obediently stayed in the living room, looking around.

She was very different indoors compared to when she was outside.

Or rather, once she got closer to the cats, she quickly relaxed her guard and vigilance. Her eyes were noticeably brighter than before, but unfortunately, they only lit up when she looked at the cats; she maintained a distance and restraint from Chen Rang.

Chen Rang took the big blue cat to take a bath, and Ni Youlin, seeing an opportunity, quickly went to play with the little plush toy.

Chen Rang placed it in the wooden cat house against the wall in the observation room next door.

The four-story cattery has six units per floor, which can accommodate more than twenty cats at a time for treatment and observation in the clinic.

Each cat house is divided into two levels, connected by a small ladder and a circular hole as the path for going up and down. The second level is where the cats sleep, while the first level has a separate litter box area, and the food bowl is placed behind the ladder.

Even more detailed is the fact that each room, whether it's the cat's bedroom, the dining room, or the bathroom, has its own independent door. Furthermore, the sleeping room on the second floor of the cat house has a wooden door to create a dark, enclosed environment.

Only the adjacent corridor and part of the first floor use glass enclosures as walls, making it easier for doctors and cat owners to observe and play with the cats.

People like Ni Youlin, who specifically come to see the cats, don't completely disturb their daily lives. If they get annoyed by being stared at or are in a bad mood, the cats simply disappear into the bedroom, emphasizing their privacy.

"Mimi?"

Despite trying several different angles, Ni Youlin couldn't find the little doll clean and tidy, and she was somewhat unwilling to give up. She secretly called out twice, then cautiously glanced back at Chen Rang, continuing to wait for the little doll to come out of the bedroom.

However, the little doll, who had just been tormented by Chen Rang, was not in a particularly good mood at this moment.

After its fur was cleaned, it actually felt quite comfortable; however, the lack of heaviness and the shadow of the damned water mist made it feel less secure, and it became depressed and unwilling to talk to people.

This guy, surprisingly, is a cat that doesn't like to be clean.

However, nobody knows for sure right now.

Chen Rang, on the other hand, did not pay attention to Ni Youlin's situation.

He only realized while giving the blue cat a bath that the guy wasn't actually as strong and fat as he had imagined.

The reason it looks like a round, heavy lump is simply because of its unique fur color and slightly stiffer fur than that of a regular cat, which makes it appear swollen.

Once it was completely soaked and its fur was plastered to its body, it still looked like a lean creature. In some ways, its large head and thin body made it look rather comical, a far cry from its original imposing appearance.

"Waaah~~"

Seemingly thinking he didn't look good, the blue cat raised its head and stared at Chen Rang with a resentful expression. The sounds and rhythm coming from its throat were rather strange; after listening for a while, Chen Rang inexplicably felt it sounded like a dog growling.

But the creature in front of me was clearly an awkwardly thin cat, starving to the bone.

"You're like a male peacock, looking plump and strong, but actually all your feathers are standing up and you're displaying your tail feathers."

Chen Rang grinned mischievously and tapped the big blue cat on the forehead.

Incidentally, this guy is also the only one among the seven cats in the house with two balls hanging from his butt. Originally, the silver shaded cat also had that qualification, but unfortunately, it's now just a male.

There are seven cats in the house: five female cats and one male cat, plus a male cat—a typical case of females dominating males.

"Aww~"

The big blue cat suddenly opened its mouth wide and bit Chen Rang's finger hard.

It endured the entire bathing process with humiliation, finally finding an opportunity for Chen Rang to relax his guard. Seeing that Chen Rang hadn't reacted, the creature opened its mouth, revealing two fangs, and swiftly stabbed towards his left palm.

"Ouch!"

"what!"

Chen Rang was caught off guard and immediately felt a sharp pain on both the palms and the backs of his hands from being bitten.

Ni Youlin, in the next room, was also startled by Chen Rang's voice. She turned her head and looked over, covering her mouth in surprise as she watched the scene, as if she could see blood spurting out at any moment.

"Get lost!"

However, what she actually saw was Chen Rang angrily tapping the big blue cat on the head and then pulling his hand out of its mouth.

It was only then that Ni Youlin noticed that Chen Rang was wearing a pair of flesh-colored rubber gloves on his left hand. It was precisely because of the protection of these thick gloves that the big blue cat's fangs were unable to pierce through, only causing Chen Rang to feel a slight pressure and pain.

As for Chen Rangzi, he certainly couldn't ignore his own safety.

After all, these six cats looked docile, but they were actually strangers picked up from the cat cafe next door. Knowing neither their habits nor whether they were aggressive, Chen Rang couldn't possibly let his guard down around them.

Moreover, bathing is inherently a stressful experience for cats. Even cat owners often resist bathing their own cats, let alone unfamiliar ones. How could Chen Rang possibly be careless under such circumstances?

He didn't wear gloves on his right hand, as it was convenient for scrubbing the cat and getting the shampoo into the fur roots. But he couldn't possibly leave his left hand, which was used to deal with the cat's resistance, unprotected.

So despite the big blue cat's fierce bite, it was ultimately just a false alarm.

"call……"

Ni Youlin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Rang also punished the big blue cat by scrubbing it hard with a towel, making every single hair on its body stand up, not even sparing its tail.

Then, use a hairdryer to give it a good makeover, and the big blue cat suddenly looks like a big hedgehog.

Chen Rang threw the guy into the cat house as well.

To Ni Youlin's surprise, the big blue cat seemed quite satisfied with its current appearance. It looked down at its paws, then turned to look at the bristling fur on its back, and became quite excited.

The little guy was very excited, jumping around in the cat house and making sounds like a dog barking, howling incessantly.

Even when it saw Ni Youlin approaching, it wasn't afraid.

It even has a show-off personality; it deliberately walks back and forth along the glass door, showing off to Ni Youlin how "robust" it has become.

Ni Youlin's lips curled up, and her eyes brightened.

She cautiously stuck a finger into the vent, which startled the big blue cat, causing it to take two steps back. However, this creature was not easily bullied. It immediately widened its eyes, made a 'threatening' sound, and then slowly approached, staring intently at the smooth, round thing.

*Slurp*

Unable to resist its curiosity, the big blue cat stuck out its tongue and licked Ni Youlin's fingertip.

"ah!"

Feeling a tingling sensation, Ni Youlin reflexively withdrew her fingers, only to reluctantly extend them again.

However, the big blue cat shook its head and refused to be served, because the strange, milky smell on the human's fingers didn't suit its taste. Even the simplest thing like hand cream is something a cat needs to be wary of.

It returned to the middle of the second floor of the cat house, first squatting down and then sitting down, then raising its hind legs and starting to lick its anus and testicles.

This guy is truly shameless.

It licked its lip and looked up to find the human still watching. Somewhat annoyed, it stopped what it was doing, raised its head and glared, but still maintained its exposed sitting posture with one leg crossed.

Ni Youlin didn't blush at all.

She's just not good at or dares to interact with people, but she's not the kind of simple-minded person who's as dull as plain water. In this internet age, you can find all kinds of information, and besides, it's just a cat, nothing to be ashamed of.

Of course, it would always be embarrassing to be seen by others looking at a cat's private parts.

Ni Youlin secretly looked up at Chen Rang.

Meanwhile, Chen Rang was already tending to another cat, a silver shaded male cat that was missing a crucial organ. Even with Chen Rang holding down the back of its neck, it was still struggling desperately.

This guy also doesn't like taking baths.

Among the cats brought back, the proportion of those who refused to be bathed was unusually high. Chen Rang suspected that the cat cafe might have used violent methods when cleaning them before, otherwise, they shouldn't have been so stressed.

That cat cafe and its owner are really quite unethical.

Thinking further ahead, the six cats he rescued might actually be luckier than the other cats that guy took away.

At least from now on, they will no longer be mistreated.

Chen Rang threw the old man, Yin Gonggong, directly into the water trough.
