Chapter 17: A Call from the Cat

()Every time I do the same thing every day, I feel like the days fly by.

Zheng Tan runs every morning, climbs stairs, climbs trees, practices jumping……

The calendar on the Jiao family's wall had already flipped to November; Zheng Tan saw the calendar on the wall and realized that so much time had passed—since he arrived here, it had already been five months.

Zheng Tan flexed his palm, and sharp claws protruded from between his fingers. These pointed claws look much like those of other cats, but Zheng Tan himself understands that his claws are gradually changing—at least they are different from two months ago. He hasn't deliberately sharpened them, nor trimmed them; the claws grow a bit, get worn down in training, then grow again, and wear down again.

Cat claws are indeed a miraculous thing—sharp, tough, and retractable. Some say a cat's claws are like a multi-functional Swiss Army knife one carries on one's person. And Zheng Tan, who has been training all along, wants to make his own knife sharper and tougher.

Zheng Tan knows he is actually different from other cats; he heard Jiao Ba say that cats are not sensitive to sweetness, but Zheng Tan himself can clearly feel it—he can eat many things that other cats cannot, and they taste good; for another example, people have been debating whether cats are colorblind, Zheng Tan doesn't know how other cats are, but at least he himself can distinguish various colors.

As for the claws, even if other cats undergo constant training, they won't see their strength surge like Zheng Tan's, nor will their claws undergo a qualitative mutation. Besides that, Zheng Tan has no other unusual changes—even though his strength now approaches that of his adult human self, he shows no tendency to become an adult; even if trained like a monkey to climb trees and jump in thickets, he won't turn into a monkey.

Will I have to live like this from now on?

Zheng Tan was running while pondering those little nine-nine in his heart. His running speed has increased a notch, and while running he can still divert his thoughts to think, not feeling out of breath from exhaustion, mer, middle school second-year lewd male, Cold Yichen, Mechanical Baby, lazyorange, Wind Blows Xu Xu's tip!
