We approach the talking cat in 60 seconds!

Dongdongmiao sneaked into the woods behind the village and saw a black cat lying leisurely in the grass.

Dongdongmeow teased the black cat: "Hey, fellow! What are you doing here?"

The black cat lazily turned over and said, "Waiting for prey."

Dongdongmeow: "Prey? You still hunt?"

Black Cat: "If we don't hunt, how do you think we'll make a living?"

Dongdong Meow: "It seems that life in the cat world is more complicated than I, a cat that looks like a fox, thought."

Cats are not only pets in many people's homes, but also "little helpers" in the fields.

They like to be active at night, lurking quietly in fields or vegetable plots, waiting for "food thieves" such as voles and sparrows to appear.

Then he jumped up and took it down accurately.

Dongdongmiao approached the black cat curiously: "How is your daily performance?"

The black cat licked his paw and said modestly, "I caught three field mice and a sparrow yesterday."

Dongdongmeow: "So awesome! What do you do during the day?"

Black Cat: "Sleep, replenish your energy."

Dongdongmeow: "Well, it seems that I disturbed your lunch break."

Cats are not only excellent hunters, their keen senses also allow them to detect danger in advance.

For example, if a cat suddenly runs out of the house, it might be about to rain.

If a cat always stares at a corner without moving, there may be animals or people nearby that deserve attention.

One day, Dongdongmiao went to find the black cat again and found a small pile of vole tails next to it.

Dongdongmeow: "Hey, is this a trophy?"

Black Cat: "Well, this is today's stock."

Dongdongmeow: "Stock? Are you planning to save it for the New Year?"

The black cat raised its head and said, "It won't last that long. Anyway, if it's not finished, we can give it to the dog next door."

Dongdongmeow: "Oh my god, this is so disgusting. Dogs also eat voles?"

Black cat: "No, it's jealous of me because I can be self-reliant and don't need to eat cat food. I'm very happy to have so much stock."

Dongdongmeow: "...Okay, I accept your advice."
