I Can Talk To Cats

Chapter 4: A Trip to Greece (Part Two)

Translated by Lime

With the newly married couple that was on their honeymoon trip in Greece playfully flirting with each other, and now the scummy history of the gods, Lin Lan completely lost the pleasure of seeing the scenic spots according to her tourist guide. After a cursory exploration of the acropolis of Athens, she returned to the hotel after taking photos.

In the next few days, she abandoned all the tourist recommendations and just wandered around, going to the places that she wanted to go, determined to make this trip relaxing.

The weather was very good and Lin Lan watched the waves recede in peace, far away from the holy places where lovers flocked.

At the present, she sat in a seaside restaurant and ordered lunch. She ate outdoors and looked at the sea. Under the table, a few kittens rubbed around her ankles, meowing nonstop.

Even if she didn't understand the language of cats, she instinctively knew that they were begging for food.

"-A bunch of greedy little kittens." Lin Lan smiled as she shared the fish on her plate with them. The cats were of different colors and patterns, but their fur was very smooth and well maintained. Obviously, they were stray cats, but they lived a good life. She looked at one of the pure white cats with a nostalgic look, "You and my family's Snowflake have the same body shape and hair color, but his eyes are golden. You have one blue and one golden eye which is even less common."

The white cat, who was eating the fish, looked up and mewed at her. It seemed as if it was responding to her, but Lin Lan didn't know what it was talking about.

Maybe it was saying that it's more beautiful?

Lin Lan guessed randomly, and her heart started to feel stuffy. After only two to three days abroad, she started to feel homesick.

I miss my parents, I miss grandmother, and I miss that big, white cat, Snowflake. Every time I come back to the house on long holidays, he always gives me gifts, whether it be dead mice or dead birds. Later, after being trained by my family, he changed his gifts, including: half a ham sausage, salted fish, and stolen candy from who knows what family. Well, his habit of bringing strange things didn't change.

As Lin Lan thought more and more, she started laughing, but her eyes became moist.

At this moment, the blue and gold eyed white cat suddenly jumped onto her knee, not doing anything else but looking up and meowing at her.

"Are you comforting me?" Lin Lan tentatively reached out to pet its head and finding that the white cat didn't resist, touched it again. The soft and cuddly cat was beautiful and lovely. The smoothness under her fingers soothed her heart, "Thank you, you really can sense human emotion."

The restaurant owner suddenly said, "It's rare to see this small rascal give you so much face, and even let you touch him. You must be very popular with cats." He spoke English a little fast, and Lin Lan only guessed what he meant.

She replied in English, "It's okay, cats don't hate me, at least my cat really likes me." Every time she went home, he brought her presents. She only had one cat, so maybe he thought that he is the only one that works and wanted to express his appreciation.

The restaurant owner spoke, "Do you know about the nearby cat wishing well?" After he saw her confused face, he was eager to give her directions. "Not far from here, there is a plaza with a fountain in it, called the Moon God fountain wishing pool. But the locals prefer to call it the cat wishing well because it is more popular with cats. If a person who likes cats goes there, their wish will be more effective than others."

"There's really this kind of legend?" Lin Lan smiled as she asked.

"Although it's not a famous scenic spot, it's still very famous among the locals. At least, one of my neighbor's children made a wish to find the toy they had lost in the park. The next day, a cat helped her get it back."
