Chapter 288 285. Xiao Xiaoman is upgraded
Luo Yihang took Officer Yuan back home.

When I walked in, I saw that Mr. Luo had already returned and was sitting in front of the tea table fiddling with his tea sets.

The old queen was not at home.

"Where is my mother?" Luo Yihang asked.

"Your grandmother Liu just called and said she was worried that the flowers in her yard would freeze and she wanted to cover them with plastic film and asked your mother to come and help."

Grandma Liu planted a lot of flowers in the yard.

"Oh." Luo Yihang responded, turned his head and made way, revealing Officer Yuan behind him, "Dad, look who's here."

Father Luo raised his head and greeted him, "Officer Yuan is here, come and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up, it's cold..."

Officer Yuan did not answer, but was startled as soon as he entered the room.

He didn't even have time to say hello to Luo's father who was drinking tea in the house.

"Hey, hey, hey, little cat, why do you have a golden cat?"

Luo Yihang looked in the direction of Officer Yuan's gaze and saw Xiao Xiaoman jumping around a pink fish on the sofa. The fish was a plush toy, Xiao Xiaoman's toy.

Ding Xiaoman was not there, probably because he was afraid of the cold and stayed in Luo Yihang's grandfather's house without coming out.

Luo Yihang laughed when he saw it: "What golden cat? This cat is Xiao Xiaoman."

Luo's father also laughed: "You are really good at naming. My cat is golden, and it really looks like a golden cat."

"No." Officer Yuan was a little exasperated.

Xiao Xiaoman took two quick steps towards the sofa, becoming very alert.

When he saw a stranger coming, he jumped to the corner of the sofa and crawled down.

Officer Yuan stopped in his tracks.

He took a half step back and stretched out his arms to stop Luo Yihang, and said hastily: "It must be right, this is a golden cat, very dangerous."

"It's not dangerous at all. Officer Yuan, you are such a joke." Luo Yihang walked around Officer Yuan.

He walked to the sofa and sat down, then reached out and lifted Xiao Xiaoman onto his lap.

When Xiao Xiaoman saw his owner, he was no longer afraid and turned over, exposing his belly to let others rub it.

Luo's father also smiled and called Officer Yuan, "Officer Yuan's acting was so convincing, as if he had seen a tiger. If it weren't for the fact that this cat was your own, I would have been fooled by you. Come on, come and have some tea."

"How could I recognize him?" Officer Yuan had long forgotten.

"It's obviously you who recognized him. I'll find it for you." Luo's father first poured him a cup of tea, then took out his mobile phone and started looking through the chat history, which was quite long.

It seems that these two people have shared a lot.

Seeing that Luo Yihang and Xiao Xiaoman were having a good time, Officer Yuan felt a little puzzled. He scratched his head, sat down opposite Luo's father, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

But his eyes never left Xiao Xiaoman.

"Here, look. Is that what you were talking about, Lihua's Chuanchuan?" Luo's father found the original chat records and showed his mobile phone.

Officer Yuan took the phone, compared the Xiao Xiaoman in front of him with the original photo and looked carefully, and found that it was indeed the same cat.

I also clicked on the voice message he had replied to and listened to it.

He slapped his thigh. "Oh, this cat was so small at the time, I didn't see it. This is a golden cat, a protected species, living in the mountains."

"What mountain? This cat was clearly snatched from the mouth of a weasel at the door by my Ding Xiaoman. You don't know how smelly it was. It took several days to wash it before the smell went away." Dad Luo still didn't believe it.

Officer Yuan was anxious, "Why don't you believe it?"

Pointing at Xiao Xiaoman, he said, "Look at its face. There are two white stripes under its eyes and two black lines on its forehead. These are obvious characteristics of a golden cat."

He pointed at the date the photo was posted on his phone and said, "Look, it's only been a short time. How many cats can grow this big in just a few months?"

Finally, he concluded: "This is the golden cat, also known as the Biao. It was a tiger in ancient times. It is a fierce beast."

If it weren’t for the last sentence, Dad Luo would have believed it.

but……

"A ferocious beast, is it this one?" Luo's father pointed at Xiao Xiaoman and asked back.

"Just... uh..." Officer Yuan was also stuck.

Because the beast he was talking about was lying on Luo Yihang's legs, letting people rub its belly, with its paws raised up and scratching in the air, and its long tail swinging. It was clearly a "cute beast".

However, after hearing what Officer Yuan said, Luo Yihang couldn't help but rub his nose, feeling a little guilty.

Xiao Xiaoman really found it in the deep mountains, and he didn't take it from a weasel, but from the mouth of a big civet cat.

In order to cover up the fact that he went up the mountain in the middle of the night, Luo Yihang did not tell the truth.

However, Luo Yihang had never heard of the name Jinmao. "Officer Yuan, which Jin and which Mao?"

"It's the gold of gold, the cat of catwad. It's also a kind of cat."

Knowing the name, Luo Yihang took out his phone and searched for it.

I'm going~!

This cat really exists and is distributed in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

There are photos online.

Compare with Xiao Xiaomanyi.

The characteristics introduced are exactly the same as those on Xiao Xiaoman.

Moreover, the last time the golden cat was spotted in the Qinling Mountains was in the Congtan National Wetland Park in Mian County under Tianhan City, uh, just northwest of Ping'angou.

The last time Luo Yihang was about to break through, he set up a spirit gathering array in the mountains to the northwest...

Coincidentally, isn't it.
-
It is said on the Internet that the length of a female golden cat can grow to 60 to 90 centimeters, almost one meter, and its tail can be to centimeters long, which is three times the size of an average domestic cat.

Is it that big?
Luo Yihang expressed doubt.

I gestured to Xiao Xiaoman and found that it was almost half a meter long before I noticed.

It’s only been a few months, not even half a year.

No wonder I always feel that Xiao Xiaoman is older than Ding Xiaoman.

It really is.

Luo Yihang clearly remembered that Ding Xiaoman measured it after it became an adult and found that its body length was 42 centimeters.

But Ding Xiaoman is, uh... plump, so she looks bigger.

If Xiao Xiaoman can grow to more than one meter.

Luo Yihang searched for Maine Coon cats again. Wow, Maine Coon cats can also be more than one meter long.

Xiao Xiaoman is at most a little bigger than a Maine Coon cat.

In addition, people on the Internet say that this guy is a jungle god and is very powerful.

Luo Yihang picked up Xiao Xiaoman, held it face to face, and looked at its cute little face.

He doesn't look like a god of war at all.

Oh my, I suddenly felt soft-hearted.

Put Xiao Xiaoman down and let it play by itself.

Luo Yihang also walked to the tea table and showed the information he had searched to Luo's father.

Only then did Luo's father believe that his cat was really a fierce beast.

"Then Officer Yuan, what should we do with our cat?" asked Luo's father.

Officer Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "It stands to reason that they should be released into the wild..."

Before he could finish his words, Luo's father angrily interrupted him, "It won't even eat raw food. If it's released into the wild, it will die in two days."

Officer Yuan agreed. Wild animals that have been raised since childhood cannot hunt on their own and will surely die if released into the wild. In that case, they are not rescuing wild animals, but harming them.

"Then send it to the zoo..."

Officer Yuan proposed another idea, but rejected it halfway through.

"Forget it, forget it. Our city's zoo can't keep him."

There is no proper zoo in Tianhan, except for one in Nanhu Park. Alas, he feels that the zoo is not reliable.

There is no other way around this. Tianhan has a small population and a poor economy, and the zoo cannot support itself.

The government's little funding for animals is not enough to be distributed among the vast number of nature reserves out there, and the vast majority of nature reserves require state funding to maintain their operations.

Tianhan City doesn’t have that ability, you know.

"What should we do? Send it to a nature reserve? But there is no nature reserve for golden cats..."

Officer Yuan thought of another idea, but it was still unreliable.

He is really worried.

"Then can I raise one at home?" Father Luo gave him an idea.
