The world was a weird place . A thousand people had a thousand different personalities, none were similar .

Some people obsessed about checking to see if they locked their door . Some people obsessed about washing their hands .

Tang Yuyun was special . She particularly disliked things that were leftovers . Her personality certainly made her life difficult, but overcoming the OCD was difficult . It wasn't a life-threatening condition, so not many people paid attention to it . 　　

At the end of the day, Tang Yuyun's OCD took root in the fact that she had money . If she were poor, or as cheap as Zhang Zian, she would'd overcome her OCD a long time ago .

She said, "I don't plan on getting a lot of cats . One is enough, but I want a perfect cat . I think purebred cats are the best for me . They're expensive, as all pedigree cats are, but at least I'll never grow tired of it, right?"　　

Zhang Zian nodded . To some extent, her words made sense . It demonstrated that she was rational, and not just impulsively getting a cat . 　　

Buying a cat was just like buying a cellphone, there were two kinds of people . One bought an expensive phone, which could last for a few years . The other bought a cheap phone, and changed it for a new one every year . Both choices made sense . However, a cat was a long commitment . If one bought a cheap cat, he/she might covet someone else's expensive cat, but if one had a pedigree cat, he/she was unlikely to covet a cheap cat . 　　

Tang Yuyun continued, "I've been following the pet shops in this city . I browse Weibo and Wechat every day . As soon as there's a kitten for sale, I go immediately in order to be the first one to pick . Unfortunately, I'm always too late, and I wasn't quite satisfied with the breeds . I heard that you were starting to sell the Abyssinian cats in your shop, and I paid a deposit at my earliest convenience . "　　

Zhang Zian comforted her, "I can assure you that no one has picked out their kittens . "

"That's great!" Tang Yuyun was relieved . "I was worried that I may have arrived too late . I was out of town during the Spring Festival . I cut my trip short when I heard the news, and came back . "　　

"Normally, very few people start picking the kittens this early . They're too small, and you can't see anything . Most pet shops would wait until they grow up and start selling them when their characteristics are distinguishable . However, since you're our first customer of the Abyssinian cats, I'll give you a special privilege . " Zhang Zian told her honestly . 　　

If the kitten was picked at birth, the condition it ended up with largely depended on luck . It was like cat betting, even the most experienced couldn't be certain of what they'd get because most pet shops didn't allow customers to pick kittens at such a young age . 　　



Zhang Zian had faith in the kittens bloodline . He trusted the breeding handbook Kathy had written . Any of the kittens were good enough for breed shows when they grew up .

When Yu Liyun showed up for work, he asked her to watch the shop . He took Tang Yuyun into the shop next door . 　　

After soon as Tang Yuyun entered the shop, she felt a wave of heat . "It's so hot in here . "

"Abyssinian cats, especially kittens, like heat . " Zhang Zian took her upstairs . "You said that you wanted to get a cat?"　　"

She nodded . 　　

"Abyssinian cats are a good fit . They're jealous and want to keep their owners for themselves . They get along with dogs and other cats, but it's best to keep them alone," Zhang Zian said . 　　

Tang Yuyun thought for a while . "Like Siamese cats?"　　



Zhang Zian was surprised . Most customers didn't know much about cats or the difference between breeds . 　　

"That's right," he agreed . "They're like Siamese cats in a way . Siamese cats are known as 'the dog of cats' . They're very clingy, but Abyssinian cats are more so . If you're home, it'll barely leave your side . "　　

"Really?" Tang Yuyun's eyes widened . "I thought all cats were aloof . " 　　

"Most of them are, but a few aren't . " 　　

Zhang Zian handed her a mask, gloves and shoe covers, all of which were disposable . Unlike Snowy, she was a stranger . The kittens weren't vaccinated and were very fragile . He didn't know if she had contact with other cats before coming here, and he didn't want her to spread germs . 　　

Tang Yuyun took off her coat and placed it on the hook . She put on the mask, gloves and shoe covers without question . 　　

Zhang Zian opened the door of the delivery room . The mother cat glanced at him, then stared at Tang Yuyun, and stood up from the nest with alertness . 　　

The Abyssinian cats were friendly, but they were cautious with strangers during nursing the period . 　　

The kittens' eyes weren't open yet, but they all turned towards the door and meowed . The voice was so soft and bone-melting . 　　

"Wow! Those are the kittens? How come they look different than their mother?" Tang Yuyun bent down . She didn't get closer without Zhang Zian's permission, so she stretched her neck, and glanced at the adorable kittens . 　　

The biggest difference between the kittens and their mothers were the ears . Adult Abyssinian cats had large and flexible ears, but the kittens had small ears, which made them look like Shiba Inus . 　　

"They're like this when they're young . It'll change when they grow up," Zhang Zian told her . "If you want to know how they look like when they grow up, we can look at their father later, they should look similar . If you don't like any of them, there are a few more next door . "　　

She glanced her eyes over them, and thought that they were all adorable .
