Chapter 161: What do you think you’re doing? Let go of our Senior!

“Station Chief, what should we do now? Should we use a cat-catching cage?” Shi Huaizhong asked, witnessing the scene. He hadn’t expected the chubby cat, who seemed approachable, to dodge so easily.

According to their plan, they should have succeeded in one attempt.

“Yes, prepare the cat-catching cage. We failed with our hands,” the Station Chief said, looking at Li Li, who showed no intention of leaving.

Although they hadn’t caught the chubby tabby cat with their hands, the tabby hadn’t left either. This wasn’t entirely bad news.

Using a cat-catching cage now? They might succeed. After all, the cat seemed quite greedy for food.

“Ah~, my arm hurts so much. It feels like it’s broken. This Pig Cat is ridiculously heavy,” Ying Zheng, who had climbed out of the flower bed, said, drenched in sweat. He supported his arm and spoke with a trembling voice.

He felt like his arm had been broken by the Big Pig Cat’s step.

“Meow~（No need to feign injury, okay? I was very gentle. I didn’t even hear the sound of bones breaking.）” Li Li, sitting on the ground, couldn’t help but curl his lip at Ying Zheng’s words.

He had been very light-footed. At most, he had just bruised Ying Zheng’s hand. Talking about broken bones and such? It was clearly a scam.

“Is it that serious? Then, Ah Zheng, go to the community clinic next door and get it checked. We’ll handle this,” the Station Chief said.

They set up the cat-catching cage, put canned cat food inside, and placed it on the grass in front of Li Li.

Then, they quickly retreated. Generally, chubby cats like this couldn’t resist the temptation of canned food.

“Eh? Setting a trap in front of the cat? Will the cat fall for it?”

“Probably not. The trap is too obvious.”

“Not necessarily. I’ve seen many videos online of cats being silly. Maybe this one is the same.”

“Yeah, look at him. He’s as fat as a gourd. He might not be able to resist the temptation of canned food.”

Seeing this, the onlookers began to discuss among themselves.

They expressed their opinions on whether Li Li would enter the cage.

“Meow~（Do you really think this cat is that stupid?）” Li Li rolled his eyes at the sight of the cat-catching cage less than three meters away.

However, he still approached it slowly, taking small steps. Not eating food that was right there wasn’t his style.

“He’s not leaving. He’s heading towards the cage.”

Zhou Zhenfeng couldn’t help but get excited when she saw this. She had thought the chubby cat would run away, but unexpectedly, it was walking towards the cage. ȒαƝȎ𝐛Èȿ

Could this chubby tabby be a fish? With a memory of only three seconds, forgetting everything after that?

“Yeah, as expected, that size isn’t for nothing. He can’t move when he sees food,” Shi Huaizhong said happily, aiming his phone at Li Li, who was approaching the cage.

“As expected, this Big Fat Cat doesn’t seem very smart.”

“Yeah, someone was trying to catch him, and he didn’t run away, instead coming over to get into the cage.”

“Right, he’s big, but he has no brains.”

The onlookers chimed in, as if they had already anticipated the scene of the Big Fat Cat being caught. They couldn’t understand how there could be such a stupid cat.

“Meow~（You bunch of idiots, do you really think this cat is that stupid? This cat is not an idiot, how could I be so easily fooled?）” Li Li, hearing the surrounding discussion, felt speechless. After half of his body had entered the cage, he jumped back.

Suddenly, the entire cat-catching cage bounced up. The canned food placed inside rolled out and landed on the trigger.

The metal mesh door, which was about to fall, was jammed by Li Li’s large body. Then, Li Li bit the canned food that had rolled to his mouth and backed out of the cage.

“Ah!”

Everyone was stunned by this scene. Did this Big Fat Cat really have such a move?

Well, it turned out they were the clowns. This Big Fat Cat wasn’t stupid at all; on the contrary, it was very clever. It knew how to use its weight advantage to make the canned food roll in front of it and used its large body to block the falling metal mesh door.

This way, it could easily eat the canned food without being caught.

“This……”

The four people, who had originally thought it would be effortless, were also dumbfounded when they saw this.

“Meow~（The canned food tastes really good. These people are quite generous.）” Li Li, slowly eating the canned food, looked at the Cat-Catching Four and lazily shook his body.

Hmph, still want to catch him? They were clearly just giving him canned food.

“D*mn it! This is too much! This Big Fat Cat is mocking us.”

“Yeah, we have to catch him.”

Seeing Li Li’s gaze, Zhou Zhenfeng and the others immediately exploded. This Big Fat Cat was too hateful. It was actually mocking them. It was truly unbearable.

They absolutely had to catch this Big Fat Cat and send him to get neutered, to dampen his arrogant spirit.

“The cat-catching cage is useless against him. Let’s try using a landing net,” the Station Chief said after taking a deep breath.

This Big Fat Cat was too clever and too heavy. It knew how to use its weight to jam the cat-catching cage. They had to use a large landing net.

“Yes.” Hearing this, Shi Huaizhong nodded and walked over to Ying Zheng. He handed his phone to Ying Zheng to film and personally stepped onto the field.

Thus, the Station Chief and the other two, each holding a large landing net, surrounded Li Li, who was eating canned food.

“This chubby tabby isn’t leaving yet? Could it be that he still wants to eat?”

“It’s possible, but if he doesn’t run now, he’ll be caught.”

“Probably not. He’s too agile. These people can’t catch him.”

Seeing this scene, the passersby started discussing.

“Meow~（The three of you still haven’t given up? You want to catch me with this kind of thing? Aren’t you overestimating yourselves a bit?）” Li Li, surrounded, looked at the three people holding the large landing nets and felt speechless. Were they using nets for catching hundreds of kilograms of fish?

Not to mention how slow they were at wielding these things, even the material of this kind of net wasn’t enough to withstand a single swipe from his claws.

By using such primitive and unskilled methods, just how stupid did they think he was?

“One, two, three.”

“Go!”

The three men were unaware of Li Li’s disdain. At the Station Chief’s command, Ying Zheng swung the landing net, followed by Zhou Zhenfeng.

The Station Chief, at the end, stared intently at Li Li, his landing net blocking the route Li Li might take to escape.

“Meow~（Boring.）” Li Li, yawning as he lightly jumped to dodge the landing net, stepped on the net pole and bounced out of the encirclement.

Wanting to catch him with such low-level methods? They might as well pray to win the lottery.

“What!”

Seeing Li Li in front of them, the crowd had no words to express their surprise. This chubby tabby cat was simply too amazing. After jumping to avoid the landing net, it even used the long net pole as a springboard to escape.

In contrast, the three people from the “Stray Animal Rescue Station” were like fools, being played around with.

“Station Chief, this chubby tabby is not easy to deal with,” Shi Huaizhong said with a grimace, putting down the landing net.

He finally understood why Ah Zheng had said his arm felt like it was broken. This Big Fat Cat was really heavy. Stepping on the landing net had almost broken his arm.

“I know, but he hasn’t left, has he? Then we still have a chance,” the Station Chief said, looking at Li Li, who showed no intention of leaving. He then said to Zhou Zhenfeng, “Xiao Zhou, go open a few more cans and lure him over. He’s so greedy, I don’t believe he’ll run away.”

They had failed once, twice, but he didn’t believe they would fail a third time. This time, they would use more canned food. He didn’t believe this gluttonous cat could still abandon the canned food and run away.

As the saying goes, “People die for wealth, birds die for food.” He didn’t believe this cat wouldn’t be tempted by a pile of canned food.

“Okay, Station Chief.” Zhou Zhenfeng, after hearing this, glanced at Li Li. She would definitely catch him today and send him to get neutered. How dare this Big Fat Cat make her lose face again and again?

“Meow~（Humiliated and enraged, you’re starting to act recklessly, huh? This cat just likes it when you’re like this.）” Li Li muttered after hearing this and waited quietly.

He had originally planned to leave, but if they were going to open so many cans of food, then he wouldn’t leave.

A mere landing net? He could tear it apart with a swipe of his claws. There was no need to worry. This was the confidence that came from strength.

“This chubby tabby still hasn’t left? Could it be that he really wants to continue eating canned food?”

“It’s very possible. Look at how his eyes are glued to those cans. I feel like he might be caught this time.”

“Yeah, as expected, greed will be the death of a cat.”

The passersby, seeing Li Li’s gaze fixed on the canned food, all spoke up.

This cat was truly gluttonous. It couldn’t even move its feet when it saw so many cans of food? If it could still escape this time, then there was no justice in the world.

“Come here, chubby tabby. There are six cans here. If you don’t come over, we’re going to take them away,” Zhou Zhenfeng said, stepping aside after placing the canned food. Holding a landing net, she and the other three formed a strategic encirclement.

They were just waiting for this Big Fat Cat to fall into the trap.

“Such an obvious trap, he wouldn’t really go there, would he?”

“Who knows? I definitely wouldn’t go.” As the passersby murmured, Li Li took a step forward:

“Meow~（This cat is just like the saying, ‘Knowing there are tigers on the mountain, I still choose to go there.’）”

“Well, it seems this chubby tabby really does prioritize food over safety.”

“Yeah, if they still can’t catch him this time, then they’re truly useless.” The passersby, watching Li Li walk straight in, were speechless.

“Whoosh!”

As Li Li walked into the pile of canned food, a large landing net fell down.

“Hahaha, this gluttonous cat dared to come here to eat? Now you’re caught, right?” Zhou Zhenfeng laughed wildly as she pulled down the landing net. You arrogant Big Fat Cat, still think you’re so tough? Now you’re caught by me!

“Well done.”

The other three couldn’t help but rejoice when they saw this.

“What are you doing? Quickly let go of our Senior!” At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the crowd.

Then, figures appeared from all directions.
