Chapter 340
United States.
Suburbs of Los Angeles.
California has a unique location, even in winter, the sun is still abundant, the climate is mild and comfortable, and it is extremely suitable for living and traveling.
Tim Keller is a tall man with an 6 foot 7 inch, wide shoulders, thick chest, red face, bald head, sound like a bell, standing there is like a wall that is daunting. However, anyone who looks at it at any glance will be considered a giant of professional wrestlers, and is in the midst of a scene of Tiehan tenderness.
He carefully picked up a kitten and held it on his chest like a baby, scrutinizing its physical condition with an expert eye. This is a two-month-old two-color puppet kitten. Most of the body’s hair is milky white. Only the cheeks, forehead, ears and tail are light chocolate, and the nose and mouth are like the skin of a newborn baby. Almonds. The pale blue eyes are crystal clear. From the feedback of the fingers, its muscles are tight and elastic, and the hair is smooth and shiny.
“Great!” Tim muttered to himself.
The puppet kitten has a very good appearance and should be satisfactory to the customer. When it grows up, you can tell the long-time customer to pick it up.
He put it down, pinched a small comb with a big fan-like hand, and gently combed the hair, which was as soft as taking care of the newborn.
Tim Keller and his wife Lauren are both CFA-registered breeders who run the “Blue Peak” cattery, and the cattery address is their home. Their cats have won many championships on the tour and are well known in the California area. Tim is responsible for day-to-day operations, while his wife is responsible for communicating with customers and other cat houses.
After combing the hair for the kitten, he let go of the hand and let it go to the house to play freely.
Tim’s eyes were glanced through the room. There were more than a dozen puppet kittens in the room, ranging from two months to four months. Some of them were booked by customers, and others were still waiting for them. Not the customer does not look at it. The opposite is true. The cat in his cat house is in short supply, but he and his wife are very picky about the qualifications of the customers. Anyone who thinks they are not suitable for cats, including but not limited to students, international students, The person who works, the old man who is too old, the place of residence far outside of California, etc., will pass.
The reasons for the pass cited above are only a small part. He and his wife are quite free to choose the customer, even if the email sent by the customer is not sincere enough, or there is a negligible grammatical error in the body of the email, or a phone call. The other party’s accent is a bit weird, and they may be the reason for their refusal to sell. It is so capricious.
Most of the cat house breeders in the United States are so capricious, and Tim and his wife have to add a “especially” adjective. In the concept of their husband and wife, if you do not have the ability to raise cats for a long time, you should not raise them, whether it is good for cats or people.
Tim walked around the room and quickly found the problem. He was afraid of scaring the kittens, and screamed into the hallway, and twitched his throat: “Allen! Allen! You stupidly roll over to me!”
It wasn’t until the second time that a freckled little boy on his face ran in panic and looked up at him nervously. “Sir, what’s the matter?”
Allen Beatham is half the age, short and half-length, thin and windy, and the two stand together, like a featherweight boxer facing a heavyweight boxer.
“How many times have I told you! The number of litter bowls is one more than the number of cats so that they won’t fight! Can anyone tell me what is in this container on your neck? What else? What’s the trick?” Tim poked Allen’s chest with his index finger, and made his red face close together, snarling at the loudest volume.
“Sorry, sir, I am really sorry.” Allen looked pale, bowed his head and stared at Tim’s fingers with timidity. Tim’s fingers almost poked him, almost. It will be very painful to be poked by this rough carrot finger. Tim’s spit star sprayed on his face, but he didn’t dare to wipe it.
“I’m tired of listening to you saying sorry!” Tim bit his teeth, suppressing the anger that slammed him into the wall, and turned back to the room where the puppets and kittens were playing. “To correct your mistakes, immediately, immediately!”
“Yes, sir!” Allen was stunned and slid along the wall.
“Stand up!” Tim muttered again.
Alan Khan stood still and didn’t know what else the gods had.
“I don’t know how to do it, understand?” Tim said in an unquestionable tone. Although he ended with a question mark, he didn’t actually ask. “Now, go and work!”
“Yes, sir!” Allen swallowed and slammed into the room.
Tim was in the hallway, and he sighed and gasped. He slammed his fist and slammed the wall, and the dust on the ceiling fell on his bald head.
“Hell!” he muttered. “I must have lost my heart and madness, and I will leave this stupid boy who is not enough to make a living!”
“Tim, what happened?” His wife Lauren poked her head out of the study and looked at her husband with concern. “Doctors don’t always lose your temper, bad for your heart, have you forgotten?”
“Sorry! I won’t be next time.” It was Tim’s turn to say sorry, and the voice was very light. When he faces his wife, he will change from a behemoth to a kitten.
He and his wife spent more than 20 years, met with cats, became attached to the cat, and later resigned to work together to professionally run cat houses. It can be said that life can not be separated from cats.
“So what is going on?” she asked again.
“It’s Alan’s stinky boy.” He explained to his wife, “How many times have I told him? You also said that the number of litter bowls is one more than the number of cats. This is related to the specialty of our cat house. Image problems, we must not make such a low-level mistake, otherwise we will leave a bad impression when customers come to visit. We demand customers with high standards and also maintain high standards in front of customers. But this stinky boy does not listen. I’ve taken these words as a whisper. I’m playing with my mobile phone all day, thinking about how to pick up a girl from the Internet…”
“Now, young people, aren’t they all the same?” Lauren laughed a lot. “When he really falls in love, he will grow from a boy to a man.”
“I was not like that at the time,” Tim insisted.
Lauren joked and said: “Yeah, you were like a little girl at the time, but I also invited you to invite you to the ball.”
“Don’t mention these old things.” After many years, Tim was still awkward when he said this. He waved his hand. “Are your mail back? Go back and take a break.”
“Speaking of this…” Lauren waved at him. “Dear, come over and come to the study.”
“What?” Tim stood still and did not move. “Can you wait a while? I have to go outside to mow the lawn.”
“It’s best to come over now, there is something you have to look at with your own eyes.” Lauren said to me in secret.
