Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 599 Becoming a Grandpa
Meimei angrily threw a plastic bottle at Huang Qi's face, while Sun Chang and Jiang Yiyi covered their mouths and snickered.

They knew perfectly well what Meimei was embarrassed about; Huangqi really was sometimes too thoughtless. Although… although that stuff does have medicinal uses, at least put it more tactfully, and Meimei wouldn't be so embarrassed.

Seeing Huang Qi applying medicine to the little doll with a frustrated expression, and a paw print with a bit of cat hair on its back, even Lin Ge thought Mei Mei deserved the kick.

However, considering that Huang Qi helped the little doll successfully give birth to seven little granddaughters, Lin Ge decided to let him off this time and not cheer for Mei Mei. He would save the matter of bullying him for when he was in a better mood later.

Soon, Li Siyu finally received the news and rushed over. When she saw that the new mother, Little Doll, had completed the delivery and that both mother and daughter were safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing that all seven kittens were female, Li Siyu, like Lin Ge, was stunned for a long time.

The deaths of the seven babies had been a recurring nightmare for Li Siyu these past few days. Sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night, her face pale and as if she had just had a nightmare. Lin Ge couldn't comfort her, and even Li Yiduo's attempts to take her out to play and clear her mind hadn't completely reversed her condition. But now, seeing the seven little ones wriggling in the little doll's arms, Li Siyu's eyes brightened dramatically, as if she were having the same thought as Lin Ge.

"Mimi! You are not allowed to give away a single one of these seven cats!"

Li Siyu stared at Lin Ge in a very serious tone, her firm attitude causing Meimei, Sun Chang, and Jiang Yiyi to turn around in surprise.

"Yes! Yes! I won't give it away!"

Lin Ge helplessly swung his tail.

This has just increased the number of cats in the house to double digits, and you can imagine how chaotic it will be. As the little guys grow up, they become increasingly mischievous; even the tortoiseshell kitten was so lively for a while that he couldn't handle it. Now, thinking about how these little ones will be causing a ruckus in the cattery in a few months, climbing all over him, and even whining and disturbing his sleep, Lin Ge feels a sense of despair and helplessness as an elder.

But what can be done? Li Siyu has already said so, so let's just keep supporting her! Anyway, with his salary, he can afford to support her, and Li Siyu will have to bear the hygiene problems caused by it.

To put it bluntly, it was fortunate that Anxi had joined the cattery when Li Siyu received her new assignment. Otherwise, with Li Siyu only having spare moments to care for the cats, the entire cattery would have been filthy long ago.

Thinking about it that way, Lin Ge decided it didn't matter anymore. Anyway, Li Siyu and An Qian would handle the trouble, and with so many mother cats in the house, taking care of the baby wouldn't be a burden on him.

"Ow~"

The little doll suddenly roared, warily staring at the money tree that had curiously approached. It tried to get up but lacked the strength, so it could only glare at the money tree as it approached and rubbed its nose against its child.

"Mi~mi~"

The money tree unexpectedly let out a soft, gentle whimper, its eyes gleaming with excitement and delight. Although these little bundles of flesh weren't its own children, the money tree still felt a sense of intimacy, which thrilled it greatly.

Cats in a group naturally have a habit of taking care of each other's kittens. After being wary for a while and realizing that the money tree hadn't harmed its kittens, the little Ragdoll relaxed, turned around, and lazily took a nap, recovering its energy.

Several tiny little bundles of flesh were still nestled in its embrace, seemingly never satisfied with their food. Then, the new mother seemed to have little milk left; the little ones began to struggle and cry after suckling for a while, their cries truly as faint as mice.

"Don't eat too much today, it's okay if you're hungry, it'll help you pass the meconium. If you still don't have enough milk in the next few days, buy some goat milk or kitten formula. Oh, I'll have Meimei bring some over tomorrow, enough for a month."

Huang Qi smiled and reassured the somewhat worried women, then teased Meimei, saying, "Meimei hasn't been getting enough exercise these days, so it's good for her to walk around more and gain some weight. Hey! Don't hit me, that's what the doctor at the prenatal checkup said, not what I said."

"What you said was even harsher!"

Meimei glared at Huang Qi, but Li Siyu smiled and led her aside.

She and Meimei hadn't seen each other for a while, so they had a lot to talk about. She naturally wouldn't tell this expectant mother about her troubles, but with several women together, they had plenty to discuss and laugh about.

Li Siyu was both envious and curious about Meimei's impending motherhood. What is pregnancy like? Will she experience severe vomiting as others describe? Will her body change? These are all things that girls are very curious about. The portrayals in TV dramas and short videos are often exaggerated, and most girls can discern the sensationalism. However, coincidentally, none of the three girls' parents are around, so they lack proper guidance in this area.

Sun Chang is from out of town, Li Siyu has lost her parents, and Jiang Yiyi is too busy with work to go home often. They might not know as much about this as Meimei.

"Really?"

Sun Chang exclaimed in surprise, then secretly glanced at Huang Qi over there.

"How could I lie to you?"

Meimei gave a particularly strange smile and teasingly bumped Sun Chang's chest with her arm, causing the three girls to burst into laughter.

"Women getting together, it's really dirty!"

Lin Ge stared speechlessly at the four women; their conversation made him wish he could fold his ears back. Unfortunately, he didn't have that ability, so Lin Ge had to change the subject and call in the Snowclaw Tiger, who was excitedly pacing outside the door.

The snow-clawed tabby and the little tabby entered the cattery and came to the little ragdoll. They were both startled by the little bundle of flesh in its arms.

Neither of the two bastards had ever seen a newborn kitten, let alone imagined that they would look like this when they were born; the snowclaw tabby was alright, but the little tabby was already so frightened that it raised its tail and arched its body, ready to turn around and run away at any moment.

However, after looking at it for a while, the little tiger stripe realized that these little guys posed no threat to it, and it relaxed again.

The snow-clawed tiger cautiously rubbed against its daughter, hesitating back and forth for a long time before finally getting close, then nudging one of the little chubby babies with its nose. The little chubby baby didn't react much, but the tiger itself was terrified and kept backing away.

However, all seven little ones smelled like rag dolls, and Snowclaw Tiger finally realized that these were actually his cubs!

It became incredibly excited, jumping and leaping around the little doll and children; every now and then it would crawl forward stealthily to the little cub's back, reach out a paw to touch the little cub's body, and then quickly turn around and run away, almost digging sparks out of the ground.

This commotion left everyone speechless, but considering he was a new father, they could understand it.

Finally, the female tortoiseshell cat, who had been sitting firmly on the cat tree like a pillar of the sea, couldn't stand it anymore. She gracefully jumped down and walked to the snowclaw tabby cat's side. She looked up and knocked it over with a single paw, sending it tumbling over. The tabby cat immediately became completely obedient.

When the little hawksbill turtle saw its mother come down, it jumped down from the climbing frame as well. However, it ignored its silly little brother and instead came to the little plush toy, curiously examining it before carefully licking its fur to comfort it after its hard work during childbirth.

The little doll's increasingly irritable mood, caused by her husband's tantrums, was finally calmed down by her sister-in-law.

Lin Ge also put down his hand that was about to punish that bastard. Sure enough, the mother hawksbill turtle and the baby hawksbill turtle were more reliable. As for the money tree that was happily staring at the little chubby dumpling and the two tabby turtles that were fighting together for some reason, they couldn't be counted on at all.

It's fortunate that this family has two reliable cats; otherwise, who knows how badly those three unreliable ones would have messed things up.

After checking on all seven kittens and settling their new mother, Ragdoll, Huang Qi and the four women didn't linger. After all, Ragdoll, having just given birth, was wary of everyone. Even Li Siyu, who scooped its litter and fed it every day, wouldn't dare approach. So the four women decided to find a place to have coffee, and that Sun Chang, Li Siyu, and Jiang Yiyi would all be at work the next day, and they also welcomed Meimei to visit them at the police station.

As for Huang Qi, he obediently packed his things and prepared to go home.

Besides his regular veterinary work, he's also busy with his wedding and taking care of Meimei. He has to prepare everything himself, from the wedding procession to the prenatal meals for the baby.

He even occasionally had to help Meimei manage the novel's comment section, dealing with the conflicts between the yaoi/fujoshi (female fans of male-male romance) and female fans of female-female romance. During this period, Meimei reduced her extra updates due to having a baby, but the comment section also became a bit chaotic because of childbirth, and it couldn't be left unattended.

As for the seven little ones, Huang Qi found that he didn't need to remind them much.

虽然这个季节的温度不错，但夜晚的时候小家伙们还是需要注意保温。于是母玳瑁和小玳瑁就自觉变成肉体保温器，贴着小布偶睡觉，把七个小家伙围的严严实实。偶尔雪爪虎斑小心翼翼凑过来要看孩子，还会被三只母猫怒视或者暴揍。除了小布偶稍微对它温柔一点之外，母玳瑁和小玳瑁则是半点不客气。此外还有一个遗憾的事，小布偶对雪爪虎斑的温柔也有了限度。孩子生下来之后，它们分走了小布偶能够给予雪爪虎斑的至少百分之九十的感情，剩下的百分之十则不足以让小布偶容忍雪爪虎斑任何亲昵的行为。每当雪爪虎斑凑过来要给它舔毛的时候，都会被它怒视威胁，甚至毫不犹豫张口就咬。

The poor Snowclaw Tiger seemed to have become a breeding tool, discarded after use. Now it could only look pitifully from afar, occasionally glancing up at Lin Ge for help.

"Fool! Don't you know that a new mother cat will indiscriminately attack any cat that might harm her kittens, regardless of its identity or the cat's behavior?"

Lin Ge lay lazily on the cat tree, showing no intention of joining in the fun.

He could understand the little female cat's wariness, but at most three days later, the little Ragdoll would get impatient with the seven little guys and then hand over the baby-care task to the work cat.

Well, Lin Ge considered himself a potential tool cat, so he could be affectionate with his granddaughter however he wanted.

Then the next day...

Lin Ge then discovered that his body was covered with little fleshy balls.

As he drifted off to sleep, he vaguely sensed cats moving around. But with so many cats in the house, it was normal for them to wander off, so Lin Ge didn't bother to open his eyes.

Then... he felt something being placed on his body, gently wriggling.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a cute-looking, boneless white ball of flesh with dry fur, half of its body buried in the fur on Lingo's body, still struggling and pulling.

Looking up again, Lin Ge saw, speechless, a little ragdoll cat, a mother tortoiseshell cat, and a baby tortoiseshell cat, each carrying a kitten towards him. The three cats placed the three kittens on Lin Ge's body and head, then turned around to continue carrying the remaining kittens.

The money tree, being handled with utmost care, was reluctant to put down the little creature it was carrying in its mouth, leaving the little creature helplessly struggling in mid-air.

Then the mother hawksbill turtle turned around and roared at the money tree, and only then did it obediently place the little meatball in front of Lingo.

"Alright! You've gotten tired of it so quickly, now it's my turn!"

Lin Ge raised his paw and scooped up the little bundle that had fallen to the ground into his arms.

The little one instinctively nuzzled against Lingo's belly, its body still smelling of milk. Unfortunately, it didn't manage to get what it wanted, and it closed its eyes and meowed softly. The next second, it was hit by its sister, who fell off Lingo, and the two little bundles rolled into a ball.

Soon, the last two little dumplings were carried to Lin Ge's arms by the little hawksbill turtle and the little rag doll. The little rag doll, not being very skilled, even let go of the dumpling halfway through, causing it to accidentally hit Lin Ge on the head, making Lin Ge roll his eyes.

Then the seven little ones started practicing rock climbing in Ringo's arms, pulling on his fur and climbing up his back. The little ones were less than twenty-four hours old and didn't have much strength yet. As they climbed, they got tired and simply curled up into a ball and fell fast asleep.

Lin Ge didn't dare to move, so he curled up his limbs and pushed all the little guys under his belly, where it was softer and warmer.

Looking down at their adorable sleeping faces and their terrible sleeping postures, a tender look appeared in Lingo's eyes.

Although... they are not of my own bloodline.

Although... he doesn't look much like me.

But... they're still new family!
But... this is a lovely new life!

They will grow up safely and happily, without encountering any accidents or harm, and will be able to live happily in this world.

Crime and misfortune must never be touched!

We will never let them suffer even the slightest injustice!
Lin Ge looked quietly at the little ones in his arms, and made a firm promise in his heart.

Whether or not they are the reincarnations of those seven poor children, it doesn't matter! At least in Lin Ge and Li Siyu's eyes, they carry the blessings of the two of them for those seven innocent children, wishing them happiness in their next life!
"Right? Big brother, second brother, third brother... uh, little one, little two, little three? No! Seven cats, it's not easy to come up with names, is it...? They can't all be... unrelated, can they?"

Lin Ge suddenly found himself in a happy predicament, and for a moment he completely forgot that he had a cat on him.

When Li Siyu arrived at work, she saw a large cat cuddling seven little kittens, snoring away. Mimi seemed to be dreaming of something happy; even in her sleep, the corners of her mouth were turned up, and the tip of her tail was still twitching.

Li Siyu didn't wake Lin Ge. She kept her footsteps low so as not to startle the kittens. She quietly squatted down in front of Lin Ge and then looked at the little bundles of kittens in his arms with great interest.

Unlike yesterday, when they were soaking wet, the little ones looked much healthier and more docile today. Five of the seven kittens were white, differing only in their purity, color (white with brown streaks), and black streaks. Two were white like their mother, two had tabby stripes like their father, and the remaining three were a mix of white and brown-black. One of them looked somewhat ugly, but had a unique kind of ugliness. The other two had tabby stripes on their backs and thighs, but white bellies and paws. The little ones slept peacefully with their eyes closed, seemingly unconcerned that Mimi, the unfamiliar male cat, posed no threat to them.

"How cute!"

Li Siyu couldn't resist touching it, but she was afraid that something like what she read online would happen—that if someone touched a cat, the mother cat would abandon her kittens.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to turn around and go to Li Yiduo's office to look for the gloves. She had left some disposable gloves when she and Sun Chang and the others hid inside to eat crayfish and duck necks. She had hidden them under the keyboard and didn't know if they were still there.

"why did you leave?"

Lin Ge secretly opened his eyes.

Just as Li Siyu reached out to touch him, Lin Ge was startled awake. But since it was his own territory, he wasn't worried about anything happening. Plus, smelling Li Siyu's scent, he didn't open his eyes.

So when Li Siyu came and went, Lin Ge couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"mum!"

A small white-bellied tabby woke up, its eyes closed and mouth open, making a meowing sound. Lin Ge gently rubbed its head, and it seemed content. It turned over, snuggled into its group of sisters, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

At this moment, Li Siyu came running over, followed by Sun Chang, whose lips were smeared with soy milk. The two women handed over gloves as they walked, and when they saw that Lin Ge was awake, they stopped being careful and excitedly came over.

They didn't catch the kitten; they just foolishly put on gloves and gently touched the kitten's back with their fingers.

The two women thoroughly enjoyed this game, their smiles even brighter than when they were with their boyfriends.

Tsk!
Cats really are the cutest animals in the world, aren't they?

Lingo flicked its tail in a gesture of pride.

The two women played for a while, and seeing that it was still early, Li Siyu suddenly couldn't tell which cat she had just petted, so she asked curiously, "Changchang, did you take a video when the kittens were born? Of these seven cats, which one is the older sister and which one is the younger sister?"

"Yes, Meimei filmed it. When she gets here, she can share the video so we can sort and name the kittens. Oh, by the way, with so many kittens, what names should we give them?"

Sun Chang also thought about naming the child and immediately pulled Li Siyu aside to discuss it.
