Many people on this forum took on the point of view of an animal when they posted or commented, so Zheng Tan's words did not cause any surprise. It was quickly lost in the sea of comments. People who read the post wouldn't remember this comment that had very little content.
Zheng Tan didn't want to elicit a reaction. He turned off the computer and went to take a nap on the balcony.
When he went on that forum again a day later, the post was deleted. There were several posts relating to the incident but he didn't want to read them anymore. He decided to visit the black and white cat since he had some time.
Without Er Mao tagging along, he was in a much better mood than yesterday. He passed by the cardboard box where the cat lived but didn't see it. The boxed lunch Er Mao placed there was empty. The bowl in front of the box contained some leftovers. There were a lot of fish bones probing out. The food was mostly made up of fish bones and smelled rotten.
