Since becoming the "Cat Translator Master" in the community, Lin Xiaoqiang occasionally received "commissions" from the cats. These tasks were usually trivial things like finding their lost toys or complaining about the poor petting skills of a particular human neighbor.
However, recently, a much more serious "case" came to Lin Xiaoqiang—all the catnip in the community had mysteriously disappeared!
This was a huge disaster for the cats of Barbie City. Without catnip, their lives lost color, and they became lethargic. They couldn’t even muster the energy to fight.
"Lin Xiaoqiang! You have to help us! Our catnip has been stolen!" The black cat "Black Moustache" appeared with a serious expression, followed by a group of weary-looking cats.
"Stolen? Who would steal catnip?" Lin Xiaoqiang was baffled.
"I don’t know! But we suspect it was those dogs from the street next door! They’ve always been jealous of our great stuff!" a blue Russian cat said angrily.
To uncover the truth, Lin Xiaoqiang began his investigation in the community. He listened carefully to the thoughts of the various animals, hoping to find a clue.
The dogs' thoughts were filled with innocence and confusion: "Catnip? What’s that? It smells like stinky socks!"
The birds, on the other hand, were full of gossip: "I saw a sneaky squirrel running into the alley with a big bag!"
A squirrel?! Lin Xiaoqiang immediately headed for the alley and searched carefully. Soon, he found some dried leaves scattered on the ground, and the scent was unmistakably catnip.
Following the trail of leaves, he came to a warehouse filled with clutter. There, he saw a fat squirrel sneaking around, hauling green leaves from a big bag into its burrow.
"It’s you!" Lin Xiaoqiang stepped forward, intending to confront the "thief."
However, before he could speak, a small hamster suddenly poked its head out of the burrow. In a sharp voice, it said, "Squeak! You bad squirrel! Give the cats back their joy!"
Lin Xiaoqiang was surprised to see the hamster speaking up for the cats.
"Squeak! I saw you secretly steal the leaves from the cats’ flowerpots last night! You said you were going to use them to decorate your new home!" the hamster continued accusing the squirrel.
The fat squirrel was startled by the hamster’s accusation and tried to escape, but Lin Xiaoqiang blocked its path.
With the hamster’s "testimony" and Lin Xiaoqiang’s "capture," the "Catnip Theft Case" was finally solved. It turned out that the squirrel, enticed by the catnip’s scent, had stolen it to decorate its new home.
Lin Xiaoqiang returned the stolen catnip to the cats, who immediately erupted in joyous meows, and the entire community was filled with the sweet scent of catnip.
Black Moustache gratefully said to Lin Xiaoqiang, "Thank you, human! You’re truly a friend to us cats!"
The brave hamster, too, became a hero among the cats. It was not only rewarded with countless sunflower seeds but also awarded the title of "Catnip Honor Guardian."
Looking at the now lively cats and the proud hamster, Lin Xiaoqiang couldn’t help but marvel at how this world was full of fascinating creatures and unexpected stories. As the "Animal Language Translator Master," his days were never short of new "surprises."30Please respect copyright.PENANAbRXztjiDDb
