Within the three days of being deprived of his cat card, Zheng Tan had no worries about his meals: breakfast and dinner, with lunch delivered daily by Jiao Wei. Each time Jiao Wei came by, he looked at Zheng Tan with sympathy. Having known him for some time, Jiao Wei had become somewhat familiar with Zheng Tan and understood that the cat was restless without his outdoor excursions, needing to roam outside every day, regardless of the distance.
During these three days, Zheng Tan indeed behaved well. He didn't show any signs of rebellion or misbehavior, starkly contrasting with a neighbor's cat that cried incessantly on the balcony.
When he saw the neighboring cat again, it was wearing an Elizabethan collar and was no longer crying. Zheng Tan guessed something had happened to it, much like what had once happened to Ah Huang.
