When Zhou You walked into the dog house, An Xin was wrapping herself tightly in plastic wrap, with only her nostrils, mouth and eyes barely exposed, and carefully handed three bottles filled with goat milk in a row to the side of the cage.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, An Xin immediately turned around emotionally and glared in the direction of the door of the dog house.

It was already nighttime, and the lights in the backyard were on.

Although there was a small rechargeable light in the dog house, the brightness was not high and An Xin could not clearly see the face of the visitor.

He subconsciously said angrily: "Didn't I say that no one else can come near this place unless absolutely necessary? Didn't you see the sign hanging at the door that no one should enter?"

Zhou You was stunned.

He really didn't expect that he would become an idler at home.

Seeing that the person who came was not moving at all, An Xin's temper seemed to be getting worse and worse.

"What are you doing? Are you going to leave? I told you that these little kittens recognize people by their smell and cannot be exposed to too many people's smells. I have wrapped my whole body in plastic wrap now, just to prevent them from remembering me.

, they will not recognize Mr. Zhou in the future. Then Mr. Zhou will have no choice but to kill them! My domestication will have completely failed!"

"Your name is An Xin, right? I'm sorry to bother you. I just want to say, is there a possibility that I just travel around?"

"Why……"

Okay, now it's An Xin's turn to be embarrassed.

He quickly scratched his head and said, "Mr. Zhou, come here quickly. Come here quickly. I'm in a hurry. It's been a day and you haven't come over to see them."

Zhou You walked forward with a smile, "I'll review it, but I'm indeed a little too busy. It's rare to have free time now, so I came over quickly to take a look."

As he spoke, he had already approached the cat cage.

The three little kittens inside seemed unaware of his arrival and just sipped their milk bottles.

Obviously, they didn't know that the man in front of them was the main culprit for them to become abandoned children.

You You looked around at the three cats and felt something special in his heart.

It's so scary for humans today to look at adult cats.

But kittens are completely different.

The average body length of cat cubs is almost 10 centimeters, which is slightly less than half the height of today's humans.

If you compare it to the size of humans in the past, it would probably feel a little bigger than a Tibetan Mastiff.

But the amazing thing is that when Zhou You looked at these three little guys, he didn't feel scary at all. Instead, he found them quite fun.

Judging from An Xin's attitude, he is not afraid of kittens either.

There seemed to be a particularly smart little guy among them who was secretly raising his head and sniffing in the direction of his travels while sucking milk.

These three cats are less than seven days old and have not opened their eyes. Their recognition of the outside world depends entirely on their sense of smell and touch.

Its ears are also twitching slightly, proving that it has initially gained hearing.

"An Xin, do you think it's possible for us to re-...oh no, really domesticate cats?"

Zhou You asked.

An Xin on the side thought for a while and said first: "Actually, I can't answer your question conclusively. Why don't you feed them, Mr. Zhou, to further deepen their familiarity with you. You can also try to pet them.

head, but you still have to be careful.”

"OK."

An Xin stepped aside and turned to Zhou You to hold the bottle. Zhou You then stared at the black and white mixed-color cat that had been wrinkling its nose at him, and carefully put his hand in, but kept his concentration high.

He was quite afraid that if he was bitten by this guy, it would be a lot of fun.

However, instead of biting him, Black and White Hun raised his head slightly and tried to rub his head against Zhou You's palm.

At the same time, it reluctantly raised its two front paws, trying to step on the milk, but unfortunately its wandering hands were too small for it.

Its front paws shook for a long time without pressing anything, so it had no choice but to put it down again.

"Mr. Zhou, you can spread your fingers and try to scratch the top of its head like a cat combing its hair."

"good."

After waiting for a while, An Xin, who had been observing the situation, finally said, "Mr. Zhou, I personally feel that we still have the possibility to truly domesticate cats."

"Why?"

"Obviously, it was trying to remember your taste just now. This is the basis for my judgment."

"I hope so. We really need such help now."

An Xin added: "But we have to treat them the same way as taming tigers in a circus, and form a conditioned reflex with them little by little, using the principle of the Skinner box. At the same time, we must also ensure that they get enough food, as much as possible.

This can prevent the animal nature from getting out of control. Most importantly, I personally believe that those who can control cats can only be overruns, and they must be fully armed overruns."

Zhou You thought for a while, "I basically agree with what you said before. But the statement that one must be a person who exceeds the limit is debatable. Cats do not have the same intelligence as mice, so even an ordinary person can do the same if he has sufficient equipment to assist him.

You can defeat them head-on and your personal safety is still guaranteed."

An Xin: "That's true."

"And, in a sense, it is actually less difficult for humans to tame cats than to tame ligers. With the absolute strength of tigers, humans have to wear very heavy armor to withstand the attack of ligers.

But if the opponent is a cat, you only need a hundred grams of alloy armor at most, and if you strengthen the curved parts of the head, neck, waist and legs, you can at least make it impossible for the cat to bite."

As Zhou You spoke, he gently stroked Black and White's head.

The kitten seemed to feel very comfortable and actually let out a low moan.

An Xin on the side said quickly: "Mr. Zhou, it should have remembered your scent. I personally suggest that you feed it like this at least once a day to make it more familiar with you as soon as possible. The cat will develop very quickly.

, it will gain more than 10 grams per day on average, and reach one pound in about a month. In two days at most, it will open its eyes and gain vision. Mr. Zhou, you should find a way to make it see the first thing when it opens its eyes.

The person is you. As for the other two cats, the same is true."

Zhou You thought for a while, "Then if from now on, the other two selected cat knights and I sleep with our own cats at night, will it speed up the process of getting familiar with the smell? An Xin, do you think that this way, we can always accompany Chang

How do big cats view us? Are they owners? Friends? Toys? Or do they treat people as their pets?"

Regarding the question of traveling around, An Xin thought for a long time before tentatively answering: "In fact, each different cat has a different personality. There is a lot of evidence that cats can also form friendships with chinchillas and hamsters. These two species

Small pets are smaller than cats. Not to mention the friendship between cats and dogs. We can even often see surveillance videos like this. When the dog we grew up with is bullied outside, the fierce cat actually helps.

Dogs get into fights. Also, the gang relationship between cats can also be regarded as a kind of friendship that definitely exists, but is not so stable."

An Xin talked a lot, but Zhou You extracted the core content.

That's what An Xin thinks can be done.

"Okay. To put it bluntly, if humans want to tame cats, they still have to try to form a friendship with them in a smaller size, right?"

An Xin: "Yes."

"I will select the other two cat knights tonight, and we will start sharing them tonight. I think... um... let them all live in my study. You can find someone to prepare and make three big ones in my study.

A better-sized cat carrier.”

Zhou You decided.

In fact, he personally does not lack the increase in combat power brought by a mount cat.

But he thinks it's important.

Although the "Guide" clearly puts forward new ideas for taming animals, so far, no video has been released that successfully tamed cats and dogs, and no individual has received publicity and commendation for this.

A very small number of people can still barely get along with their own pet dogs, but no one dares to fully trust these "pets" that are now too large, and they absolutely dare not stay alone with their pet dogs without wearing equipment.

Together.

As for teacup dogs, they can barely get along with humans, but this is meaningless. Teacup dogs are too small and too weak in ability. They are purely human pets and basically have no ability to survive in the wild. They can neither ride on them nor provide combat power.

, and has no active offensive ability at all, and is completely unworthy of reliance.

So Zhou You decided to take the first step himself and test the possibility of humans becoming cat knights in more detail.

Other medium and large dogs also have the potential to be fighting pets, but it is best to raise them from the beginning and cultivate new ways of getting along with them.

If the dog is an adult, even if it can still recognize the smell and appearance of the original owner, the former human body is generally larger than the original owner, and it is difficult for the dog to change its living habits quickly.

If these medium and large dogs habitually pounce on their owners as they did before, or open their mouths and bite their hands to play with them, everyone will die on the spot.

While the two were communicating, the three little kittens inside seemed to have finally eaten their fill and each fell asleep.

The two of them walked to the door and closed the dog house door.

Since it's midsummer, it's not very cold even in the courtyard, so you don't have to worry too much about keeping warm.

An Xin went to find someone to prepare a room for humans and cats to share.

Zhou You put on a brand new heavy armor made of thin iron sheets, and brought with him an improved lightweight simple woodworking nail gun and a scalpel that he used very smoothly, and drove the machine modified by his uncle.

Tai Laotou Le was about to leave for Yulong Community opposite.

Zhou You was about to go out, but after hearing the news, a group of people chased him out of the living room, shouting loudly for him to wait and go together.

The eldest uncle and his cousin who were very tough in every aspect, as well as Lin Yao and a girl who looked young and petite.

There is also a teacher from a vocational high school.
