Metamorphosis

The next day.

Early in the morning, as Zhang Zian opened the shutter door, the staff saw more than a dozen stray cats lying down in various postures. In addition, several of the cats were covered in thick bandages. They were stunned by what they saw.

"Master, these cats are...?" Wang Qian asked wonderingly.

Zhang Zian's explanation to him was that he'd heard cats crying out last night. They'd sounded like they were injured, so he had gone out to look. He was right. He'd seen this group of stray cats. If he had simply left them there, they surely would've died. Thus, he had brought them into the store and performed simple first aid.

"Might there be another cat abuser?" Lu Yiyun asked uncomfortably, hugging Jasmine tightly.

"This may not be the case... They seem to have been fighting with stray dogs. They have bite marks and scratch marks on them," Zhang Zian explained.

"Stray dogs? Fighting with stray cats? To gain territory?" Li Kun asked.
