    Chapter 30 "Treat That Little Pet Kindly"

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    My favorite animal is a cat, even my pseudonym has a word "meow".  But like many parents, my parents will never allow me to keep pets like kittens, and the reasons are surprisingly similar-unhygienic!  Therefore, my parents only allow me to keep some small pets such as goldfish, turtles, chickens, etc. that can restrict freedom and are "easy to take care of". As for my most coveted kitten, they will only answer: "No way!"

    But a seemingly hopeless "no way" can't match the love for my son after all, especially when I was suffering from severe insomnia in my third year of high school.

    The three years of high school can be described by the word "suffering day and night"!  The mental stress at that time made it difficult for me to sleep at night. Obviously many classmates were too tired to sleep enough, but I¡ª¡ªwas ridiculously unable to sleep?  !  In order to relieve my stress, my parents racked their brains, taking traditional Chinese medicine and seeing a doctor.  A classmate of mine who is called the "God of Sleep" clarified the truth calmly: "It's okay, once the college entrance examination is over, your insomnia will be healed."

    Sure enough, but the results can only be obtained by personal experience.  Poor parents all over the world!  In order to help me decompress, my parents even broke the bottom line that they can't touch.

    In March 2015, the countdown to the college entrance examination was over.  One afternoon, as soon as I got home with a heavy schoolbag and a face full of exhaustion, my mother came out of the kitchen and smiled at me mysteriously: "Go to the bathroom!"

    I nodded mechanically, thinking to myself, besides the unpleasant smell, what good things can there be in the bathroom?  But as soon as I opened the door, I saw a small pink cage on the ground, and there was a white rabbit in it!

    When I opened my eyes wide and didn't have time to make any sound related to surprise, my father stood beside me and said to me: "Look, I bought it for you. This is a big rabbit and the most  Lively!"

    "Can you let it out?" I saw a relatively "fat" rabbit locked in a cage that was about the same size as it, and felt very uncomfortable.

    "Yes, but I have to put it in the box temporarily to prevent it from running around." Dad nodded and said, "Also, don't touch it, this rabbit is quite fierce, don't let it kick you or bite you.  "

    But what frustrates me the most is not that the rabbit kicks or bites me.  As soon as Dad took this guy out with gloves on, it pissed on the spot?  !  This wave of operations made us dumbfounded.  After finally clearing up the mess, I ignored my parents' obstruction, stroked its supple back with my hand, and said softly, "From now on, you will be called Xiaoyu."

    I admit that this is not a very innovative name, and the original intention of my naming is just the legend about the Jade Rabbit.  Since then, our family has had a new member¡ªXiaoyu, but my parents often call her "Yu'er", and over time, it also "leads me astray"

    "Yu'er, stand up!"

    Every day when I come home from school, I look forward to meeting Yu'er.  As soon as I threw my schoolbag on the sofa, I rushed to the bathroom.  After that, Yu'er will definitely stand up immediately and put her two front paws on the basket.  At that time, my father specially bought it a basket similar to the vegetables in the supermarket, and there was a bucket under it, so that Yu'er didn't have to worry about going to the toilet.

    Yu'er is a "foodie"!  Once, my father took a children's version of the small iron rice bowl I used as a "Yu'er special" and put chopped cabbage in it.  When my father was cleaning Yu'er's "dormitory", my mother and I hugged it and put it on the ground.  What amuses me the most is that I just put the bowl in front of its eyes, and it snatched it like crazy, and buried its head in it to eat.  Even though the bowl was licked clean by it, it still refused to return the bowl, and even staged a farce of "human rabbit grabbing the bowl" with me!

    "Hey¡ªhow did you rob me of my iron job!"

    I saw the little guy who had gained a lot of weight kept rubbing his front paws on the surface of the bowl, as if turning a wheel.  I thought it was funny, so I patted the back for fear of it, and ruthlessly took away the bowl that originally belonged to me.  But she won't be angry, I will feed her carrots later!  After all, foodies are easy to kill, just like me!

    The first time I hugged Yu'er made me shudder!  Although I also like little rabbits that are as quiet as cats, but if I really hug them, I am afraid of being scratched by cats and kicked by rabbits!  No, I was hugging Yu'er tremblingly, and it ended up "hanging" its body extremely long.  I was afraid that it might get hurt, so I quickly put it back.  But it seemed to be puzzled by my behavior, stood up again, put its "hand" on the basket, and looked at me curiously.  Suddenly, I actually found out - it has grown a lot taller!

    The first time I "walked the rabbit" was in a bigThe next day, my father and I locked it in a cage and brought it out.  Unexpectedly, the weather suddenly changed, and turned into a gloomy wind.  The little guy was obviously froze, even if he opened the cage, he would not come out, and he would not be moved by giving him the green vegetables he likes to eat.  Our father and daughter saw that it was not good, so we took it home quickly. After a while, it was revived again with full blood!  Oh, this little liar is scaring me to death!

    Keeping a pet, while gaining joy, also means that you will bear the risk of losing it!  This is an eternal law.

    But when I really understood this truth, Yu'er was already powerless.

    It was a Sunday morning in April, and I habitually went to the bathroom to watch it when I first woke up.  But I was horrified to find that - its legs seemed to be "broken", and it lay powerlessly aside.  I was so shocked that I didn't even have the mind to go to the cram school at ten o'clock. My mother stopped me immediately, and even my father said something unpleasant: "The college entrance examination is coming soon, and you are so self-willed! I bought it just to  Let you relax. It¡¯s hopeless, what kind of pet hospital do you want to send it to?! Naive!¡±

    Under the harsh reprimand of my parents, I had no choice but to leave with my schoolbag on my back in tears.  My mother was even afraid that I would skip class, so she personally "destroyed" me to go to tutoring.  Finally, when the class was over at twelve o'clock, my mother said to me cautiously: "Niu, I want to open a little bit. Your father called and said that as soon as you left in the morning, Yu'er's four feet in the sky'  .¡±

    I clearly remember that I did burst into tears on the street!  Even when I was buying lunch in a restaurant, I whimpered like a "fool" and cried while eating, which made the people in the cafeteria think I was having a "crazy" attack.

    Since then, I have never had any pets again.  Even if my dad falls in love with raising turtles later, I will never participate!  I can't bear the cruel fact that pets with a short lifespan will leave me early.  Maybe I have an extremely fragile and sensitive "glass heart", but I can't bear the pain of loss, so why take the risk to have it?

    I really like cats, and I often say boldly to people around me: "Look, I will definitely have a cat!" But "I have a cat" is not now, but when I am old and retired  , when you really have time.  At that time, my time will not be long, and the cat's time itself will not be long.  This is fair, we can accompany each other, not owe each other.

    After all - pets are life too!  It may be irresponsible when I choose to keep pets at an age when I have no time.  People say that pets are just animals, but who would have thought about how lonely those puppies, kittens and other pets are when the owner is away during the day!  Just like Yu'er at that time, she was locked in that bathroom alone every day.

    It must be thinking: "Where did they go?" "When will they come back?" "I'm so lonely, I miss my mother."  Arouse social concern, but small pets are playthings, so are they not entitled to be treated tenderly?

    ? Respect for life is the bottom line. Human beings always regard themselves as the masters of the universe, and have a pastime mentality towards pets.  But pets only have a lifespan of more than ten years. When they are alive and accompanying us, shouldn't we treat them well?  At least, give them company; if not, please choose carefully whether to keep a pet!
