Zhang Zian had observed before that Fina had an incomparable control over domestic cats––but only domestic cats. The control it had over stray cats was weaker, and its control of wild cats in the cities or villages, as well as those that were second or third generation stray cats, was even weaker. When those cats saw it, they did not submit to it, but ran away in fear.
A lot of cats were originally domestic cats and were very close to people, but later on were abandoned by their owners or ran out of their homes by themselves and became stray cats. The second generation stray cats that were born when they mated with other stray cats were not as close to people, and by the third or even the fourth generation, they were practically the same as wild cats.
