Chapter 457: Ten thousand dollars for treatment
After leaving the flower and bird market, Gong Liu found a larger pet hospital.
After the kitten was cleaned at the pet hospital, the originally black little thing immediately returned to its original appearance - a calico Chinese rural cat.
This calico cat has a white mouth, orange cheeks, and black circles around its eyes.
A circle of black hair is like the eyeliner that girls put on themselves when they put on makeup. It not only makes the eyes look big and round, but also gives them a noble temperament, charming without being confused, enchanting without being gaudy.
The hair on the kitten's back is a mixture of orange and dark black, and its lower body is white. At first glance, it looks like a quilt is draped over its back. On its left arm, there is a ball of golden hair in the shape of a heart.
This kitten looks very unique and should not be thrown away.
Calico cats are generally considered to be mixed-race cats with impure bloodline. In addition, most people see this kind of cat outdoors, so they subconsciously think it is a wild cat, and that its impure bloodline is what causes it to have such a strange fur color.
Later, the calico cat was marketed online as a great beauty in the cat world, which helped to clear the name of the calico cat. More and more people raised this cat. There was even a time when cat prices were hyped up in the pet market. A calico with good fur, plus a bunch of made-up stories about "one cat, one color, unique in the world", could scare laymen. Many wealthy people would pay a huge price to buy a small calico with the right color.
Although the price of this kind of cat has dropped in recent years, there is still a market for it. It is impossible that no one will buy it and it will be thrown away.
Gong Liu was just wondering why such a beautiful calico cat was thrown away when he heard the doctor say, "The cat's leg is broken, and there seems to be something wrong with its internal organs. We need to take two X-rays to see."
Gong Liu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Take an X-ray of the cat?"
He had never had a pet and didn't know much about these things, so he found it a little novel.
"Yes, one scan costs more than 200 yuan. If it is confirmed that there is a problem, it will cost several hundred yuan to fix the bones, and the medicine will also cost a lot of money... In total, the whole set will cost at least a thousand yuan... and you just spent 80 yuan on taking a shower."
The veterinarian looked at Gong Liu's surprised expression and thought that he was so surprised because he thought the price was too high, so he took a piece of draft paper and calculated the bill for Gong Liu. After calculating the bill, he advised Gong Liu, "This kitten should be a stray cat, right? This kind of cat is usually abandoned because it is born with a disease. Generally, it will die on the roadside in a few days because it cannot survive independently... To put it bluntly, it is really unnecessary to spend thousands of dollars on a half-dead stray cat. I advise you to send it back to where it came from."
After listening to the veterinarian's words, Gong Liu just smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, treat it. I will treat it no matter how much it costs."
"Harmful."
Seeing that Kong Liu was still unwilling to give up, the doctor was too lazy to persuade him anymore. He asked him to pay for the film first, take an X-ray of the kitten, and then make plans.
The kitten was very well behaved during the filming. It didn't cry or hide and was very cooperative. It did whatever it was told to do. Its pair of big KISS ME eyes with built-in eyeliner were staring at Kong Yoo.
The results came out. There was nothing wrong with the kitten's organs, but its hind leg was broken, and the fracture was quite serious. It needed surgery. The surgery was a bit expensive and would cost several thousand yuan.
Just a few thousand dollars, can it stump Young Master Kong?
Gong Yoo paid the money without saying anything.
Seeing that Gong Yoo was so rich, the doctor didn't waste any more words and immediately performed an operation on the kitten. Gong Yoo stayed by his side the whole time. The kitten stared at him, and if it felt pain, it would meow a few times. Kong Yoo would comfort it and feed it some cat food (from the hospital). After eating the cat food, it stopped meowing and continued to look at Gong Yoo obediently - Gong Yoo had a very wonderful feeling at this moment, he felt like he was accompanying a family member younger than himself.
About half an hour later, the operation was completed. The kitten's hind legs were bandaged tightly. In order to prevent it from moving its legs and affecting its recovery, the doctor also supported its lower body - it was not very useful, but it could make more money.
After the operation, the doctor vaccinated and dewormed the kitten, checked other conditions, and finally prescribed a lot of medicines and told Kong Liu how to use them.
After this whole process, the bill came to 10,000 yuan, and the printed bill was half a meter long - if the pet hospital had cat supplies, the bill would probably be even longer.
Gong Yoo finally understood why the kitten was abandoned by the pet shop - it would be quite expensive to raise it!
Before leaving, Gong Yoo asked the doctor, "Is this a male or a female?"
"It's a female." The doctor spread the cat's legs and said, "You can tell by looking here. The male has two round things underneath, which are easy to recognize. The calico cat is a unique cat breed. Male cats are rare, with a probability of one in 8. Moreover, calico male cats are born with physical defects and are infertile, unable to give birth to offspring, but female cats don't have this problem. Moreover, calico female cats are very fertile. When they run out during estrus, they can attract many male kittens. They can give birth to several kittens in their lifetime and several litters a year. Therefore, among the stray cats in the community, the calico cat is the most common. We generally recommend sterilizing this type of cat when it is 10- months old."
"Oh, I understand."
Gong Yoo put the Sanhua into the transparent handbox sent by the pet hospital and walked out. He was originally going to buy this handbox, but when the doctor saw that Kong Yoo spent so much in the hospital, he felt embarrassed to charge him the dozens of dollars and simply gave him one.
Gong Yoo rode his electric scooter and brought the kitten home.
As soon as I parked the car at the door, several maids came out of the house and shouted happily: "Ah! The young master is back!"
"Oh, there's a kitten?"
"The cat that Master bought is so beautiful. Did it cost a lot of money?"
Gong Yoo handed the briefcase to a maid, threw the key of the eDonkey to another maid, and then strode into the house, saying, "The cat is free, and the treatment costs 10,000."
