I Can Talk To Cats

Chapter 13: The Cat's Knowledge (Part Two and Three)

Translated by Lime

The very next day, the weather was sunny and the sky was clear. The warmth of the sunlight complemented the gradually cooling temperatures. It was an ideal time to take a walk outside.

Lin Youyu was preparing to go open the store when he saw his daughter wearing sportswear stuffing cans of cat food and treats into a bag.

"Didn't you say that you were going to sleep for the next few days? Where are you going now?" Father Lin noticed that Lin Lan had thrown in almost half of their cat food and tried to stop her: "This is Snowflake and Sapphire's food. What are you doing with it?"

"I was just about to tell you, I'm going out for the morning." The bag was full and Lin Lan zipped it up.

"Snowflake said that he wanted to bring me to go somewhere. I'm accompanying him to stroll around."

As she said this, the plump, white cat near her feet meowed towards them.

"Snowflake? What nonsense are you saying?" Lin Youyu thought he heard wrongly: "Snowflake is bringing you out?"

"That's right." Lin Lan slipped on the bag and adjusted it. It was a bit heavy, but she was able to carry it: "He said that he would bring me to meet his kitty friends. I don't have anything to do so I'm bringing these cans of food to meet them. Don't wait for me at lunchtime, I'm going to pet cats!"

The human and the cat walked out of the entrance and the apartment door was softly shut. Lin Youyu was standing there with his mouth open, confused.

"Uh..." He scratched the back of his head and stared at the entrance: "I've heard of dogs walking their humans, never of cats walking their humans."

Once his daughter returned home, he experienced many new things.

Father Lin muttered this while Lin Lan had no clue. She cheerfully hopped down the stairs and turned left after she was outside.

Leading the way, the white cat's tail was pointed straight towards the sky. His excitement was shown in this way. In the past, this would happen whenever he was given cat food. After Lin Lan was able to communicate with him and agreed to his requests, he had risen his tail like this many times.

Snowflake's steps were agile and light. He turned his head back many times: "Miaow—" (Lan Lan, hurry up!)

Lin Lan increased her pace. The white cat exerted force and jumped onto the wall beside them, jogging.

For humans, this wall was fairly high, but for cats, it only required a few additional jumps. If they walked on top of the wall, they would not be obstructed by humans so it was safer.

The cat was extremely familiar with these actions and she concluded that he used this route many times in the past.

Lin Lan followed him until the end of that wall and entered a park filled with greenery. They didn't walk on the normal paths for humans, instead, Snowflake sauntered close to the edge of a building.

The edge of the building had a ten-centimeter cement pathway that was built by a construction worker. The cat had no difficulty walking along the narrow walkway. However, to the human, it was like walking on the edge of a precipice. The path was both narrow and dangerous.

Was this the legendary "cat path"?

A "cat path" didn't simply refer to a random path. Rather, it was a "path that cats walked on". Contrasted with humans, cats that traveled on roads were subject to unintentional and intentional dangers.

The path that Snowflake was currently on was one that no human could use. If this scene was properly animated, it would definitely have an enigmatic appeal. Walking on it gave her feelings of anxiety, like playing hide and seek in her childhood, heart pounding.
