Upon entering someone’s domain, one must clamp one’s tail if one can’t defeat the other person. This is the general law of the animal world. No matter how rebellious a cat is that comes to my shop, it must weigh its ability to see whether it can defeat her."
"Oh," Lu Yi Yun nodded as if she understood. She noticed that Fina’s stature was very robust, and her eyes were sharp. She was like a small leopard, and appeared very fierce. Compared to Fina, her Jasmine was just like a small white rabbit in front of a lion. "Then can I start?" she asked Zhang Zian. "Yes," Zhang Zian replied affirmatively.
Thus she stretched her hand out towards the shower spray valve.
Whoosh! The water turned on, countless streams of water spurted out from the shower’s pores and splashed into the sink. The shower spray was connected to a hot water faucet, with the temperature set to forty-three degrees. The body temperature of cats was thirty-eight point six degrees, which was a little higher than the human body temperature, so the temperature for the bath water must be higher than their body temperature. Of course, the temperature couldn’t be too high; cats did not have the refined interest of soaking in hot water baths.
The screams of people and cats that Wang Qian had imagined did not occur. There was only the sound of the steady flow of water. He took a closer look; the cat was still perfectly lying on the counter next to the sink, and there were not any bizarre movements. He patted his head and thought, "F*ck, the advanced animal-taming skills were so godly that it even changed the nature of the cat."
Lu Yi Yun stared at the lines on the scale. When the water hit five centimeters, she turned off the valve according to Zhang Zian’s instructions. "Now, put the cat into the sink, lift its chin up slightly with your left hand, and open the shower spray to rinse it. Just pay attention to one point, and don’t wash its face when you are bathing it. There is nothing else other than that. Very simple," Zhang Zian said. Lu Yi Yun put Jasmine into the sink. Other than having felt its body tremble briefly when its paws first entered the water, it was continuously obedient. It was better behaved than usual; it was well-behaved like a fake cat.
She held on to Jasmine’s chin according to the instructions, and opened the valve of the shower, carefully avoiding its face. The water soaked its long fur, and all that soaked fur clung onto its body. Its body shrunk rapidly like a rubber ball that was leaking air. The cuteness was not there anymore, and it looked a bit ridiculous.
The shower spray was fixed, and faced the center to the sink. As long as the pets don’t move around, their heads and butts won’t get washed.
"See the sponge next to the sink? Dip the sponge into the water, and wash all the parts that did not get rinsed."
She used the soaked sponge to wet the fur on Jasmine’s chest, butt, inner legs, knees, and tail.
"Next, turn off the shower spray. There’s body wash on the shelf. Squeeze some onto the sponge, and rub out some foam. Then scrub it like you’re giving yourself a bath. Make your movements swift to prevent it from catching a cold.
The body wash on the sponge produced a large amount of foam; Jasmine’s entire body was covered in foam, apart from her face and paws. Lu Yi Yun gently stroked its fur—it was both supple and smooth, like high quality silk. Bubbles also floated on top of the water on the surface of the sink. The water became no longer clear; considerable filth and half-strands of fur floated up and down. She had not expected that Jasmine, who usually appeared to be pretty clean, would actually be this dirty already. This was despite her combing Jasmine’s fur every day. "God knows how long it had been since its former owner had given it a bath, perhaps never," she wondered. She felt that it was really good that she could bring Jasmine to bathe!
