It is a short story of a man and his four pets. Come in a cute, soft, fluffy style. Finished in one episode. Finished in an episode. If you're ready to receive the cuteness damage then Let's read it.

My name is Tanaka Hiroshi, and I'm an ordinary company employee.

My life has always been average. The house is of medium status. Not rich and not poor Graduated from a top institution but not ranked in the top ten in the country. Got a good job with a decent salary. There is savings but no luxuries. Single but satisfied with my single status.

With a life graph that has always been in a straight line. So I want to find something to entertain my life. But I'm the type of person who doesn't like to travel. Don't scream at idols. There are no collectibles or desired items. Finding something to entertain your life seems very difficult.

And while I was sitting on social media I saw a clip that caught my eye.

That's right, this is what will pull my straight line graph up!

Hiroshi bounced off the bed. The wrists are thick from exercise and the fingers curl with a rustling sound. Press print to search for the information you need immediately.

How to raise rabbits

Yes, I choose to raise animals.

Let me tell you first. I'm not the type that just wants to raise or want to raise a pet because it's cute. I like animals and am familiar with animals because my parents have dogs at home. I know how to take care of him, including taking him out for walks, picking up Unji, as well as managing money in my wallet and managing the time I have to spend with my little friend.

For people who have never raised animals before Let me first say that you have to be responsible.

Hey Hiroshi, I'm responsible.

No, you don't. What I mean by responsibility is when you bring a life into your home. You must take the best possible care of him. It's not just about giving rice or water or cleaning. You have to invest time and money, get them good food, get them vaccinated. Take it out or stay in the room and play with it for hours. And they have to do this for decades to come because they last longer than you think.

If you can't do these things for more than a month, Please give up. Don't depend on animals.

Actually, I'm not skilled enough to teach you. But I can learn along with you. Let's get started, shall we?

Let's move on to my fluffy one. First of all, if we want to raise animals We must first look at what animals we will raise. I chose to be a rabbit because, for one, the rental room I'm in right now allows pets. But it's not big enough to house a dog or cat. And the ceiling is very low. If you raise birds, you probably won't be able to fully fly them freely.

And I don't really like very small animals. Like a hamster or a squirrel. That's why I want to be a rabbit.

Two, the matter of sound I live in a rented room next door. And the walls are thin, dogs howl, cats meow, birds chirp, it probably isn't suitable.

Third, about taking them out to breathe air. I don't have much free time to take my dog ​​or cat for a walk. There aren't any open areas nearby where birds can fly and play. But if it's a rabbit, I can take it to walk around the small grass area in front of the dormitory. I'll ask permission from the dormitory owner again before making a decision.

Okay, now that we know what kind of animal we will raise Next is the matter of breed.

This breed I didn't just choose based on my preferences. You must choose one that matches the place of care. For example, if you choose a long-haired breed or a breed that is native to cold regions. You need to make sure that the country you are in is cold enough. Or can your room be air conditioned cool enough to last all day?

On the other hand, if you live in a cold area. But I chose a short-haired animal. Have you made sure you have a heater or warm clothes for him to wear?

Animals are like people. If it's too hot or too cold, you might get sick. Even when it's hot, we still have to turn on the air conditioner. It's cold and you still have to wear a shirt. And think about how uncomfortable it would be for animals that can't communicate with us.

Another thing is a matter of habit. People's personalities differ from person to person. There is no way to know what it will be like unless we get to know each other. But animals can tell their personality by their breed. Even if there is one that falls off

QC

But you can be sure that more than 85% of the animals have personality traits that match the breed.

For example, if you want a dog to watch over the house. You must choose a fierce dog. I want a cute dog that is easy to get along with. You must choose a playful dog. I want a calm cat. I want a naughty cat. I want a bird that can talk. I want a female bird. You must choose according to the breed and color that can indicate its characteristics.

Hitoshi returned his focus to the computer screen. Look...why are there only pictures of sea rabbits? What do netizens like these days? Please give me a rabbit that is a normal rabbit.

But hey, I'll say that black and white fur is cute. Reminds me of cookies and cream. So let's set the flag in black and white.

Let's take a look... Holland Lop breed The most popular culture in the world It's a very cute dog. The fur has many different colors, which is interesting.

Flemish Giant Breed It is a large breed. Uh...too big. He wanted a small one. It's more of a warm hug.

Is it a Dutch breed? Wow...what is this? Black and white fur, straight ears, docile personality. Easy to get along with This is so cute. Isn't that right? Plus, the fur color, body size, and personality traits are all exactly to the specs.

Good, take this one!

Hiroshi spent the night choosing a breed of rabbit. (Although half of that time is spent looking at pictures of cute rabbits.) As soon as the eyes begin to dry out, the vision blurs and the eyes begin to protest against sleep. Hiroshi turned off the screen and stretched before rolling onto his own futon.

Tomorrow he has to go to work. You must sleep tonight.

See you tomorrow, little bunny...

A bright new morning with a train packed with people.

Hiroshi stood huddled with people who were in different conditions than him, weary and sleepy, some of them hungover. But luckily, where he was standing there was enough room to play with his phone. Even though it's etiquette that shouldn't be done while on the train.

But the next step in adopting a rabbit is the most important. It is about choosing to buy young rabbits from a farm or place that you can trust.

Asked, why do I have to choose a good shop when I'm not going to take it to any contest? Well, we didn't raise him from the beginning. You must choose a good farm. Pay attention to health and cleanliness Little animals will be healthy from the beginning Don't get sick or contract any disease before it reaches us.

Hiroshi therefore had to look at many things. Websites and reviews to choose the best restaurant

Okay, this weekend. I'm going to go get a little rabbit to live with!

I have chosen the farm and have chosen the rabbits. But because the farm was too far away, I had to wait to pick up the rabbits from a nearby store instead.

Two days before the appointment I prepared money well to buy various things. Give it to the little one.

Preparing before your pet's arrival is essential. At least there must be basic items. Even humans, before moving to a place of residence, we still need to have some furniture prepared in order to live there. Animals are the same, right?

The first thing Hiroshi bought was rabbit food. which will be pellet food and hay Next are water and food bowls, pads, a small cave, and buy a carrot-shaped toy. Actually, I'd like to buy more. But this month's money is gone.

The last one is a small enclosure. Let's look at the area. Hiroshi paid and carried all of the items back to his room.

And then the day came to meet the rabbit.

Hiroshi was very excited. He arranged everything carefully before leaving the room. Drive to the appointed store. When we arrived, we saw a lot of people. Because it is a holiday where people often come to wander around. The shop owner himself looked very busy. When Hiroshi went in and asked about the rabbit Without paying much attention to Hiroshi, he went to put the little one in a box. I understand that you are busy.

But Hiroshi didn't mind. Black eyes stared excitedly at the box.

Once he got out of the chaotic crowd, he hurried back to the car. Excited, he opened the box and looked at it.

The little bunny curled up into a ball, its soft fur fluffy like cotton candy. It was white with black stripes just like he liked. It had big, black eyes. The rabbit's nose puffed out. It looked up at the human for a moment before curling up into a ball because of its unfamiliarity.

Hiroshi's cheeks spread into a smile that nearly exploded. The left thumb gently strokes the soft fur.

“Let's go home together, Cookie-chan~”

Cookie-chan is a neat bunny.

It's only the first three days.

Tight, tight, tight, tight, thump!

“I'll play with you, Cookie. I have to make dinner…”

Tight, tight, thump!

The sounds of fluffy rabbits jumping and stomping their feet could be heard from inside the pen. Cookie wants to play outside, but he hasn't finished making dinner yet. Hiroshi had let it out once and it jumped and crashed into a plate of rice, causing the entire floor to become a mess.

“If you stay still In a moment, I'll give you some candy as a reward.”

...tight!

Hiroshi underestimated the rabbit's power. Even though there's no singing But the sound of the rabbit's stomping was very loud. And also diligent in jumping. Luckily he was on the lowest floor so he didn't have to worry about neighbors yelling and cursing. But it's still very loud.

Rabbits are animals that sleep during the day and are active at night. So when Hiroshi goes out to work, Cookie isn't lonely because he sleeps all day. He always wakes up an hour before Hiroshi gets home from work. But the problem is at night. The rabbit will be very alert. Even Hiroshi played with it until he was satisfied.

It was still bouncing and bouncing all night.

He also just learned that rabbits like to dig. But because there is no soil in the room His pile of laundry always got rummaged through until it was a mess. Plus sometimes the little paws Its scraping against the slippery cloth will make a loud hissing sound that is deafening.

"cookie! Don't play in the grass. That's food, not a toy."

Stunned!

“...Cookie, are you angry?”

tight!

“That's enough, stop stomping your feet.”

Hiroshi sighed in exhaustion. On weekends I had to clean up the fat rabbit's place. Change the grass, change the water. Including putting toys away.

Even though the cookies weren't what you expected, Even though it's stubborn and adds to the burden But Hiroshi didn't say anything. Well, he was the one who decided to raise the cookies himself.

Already in love Cookie and Cream Rabbit

“Cookie, let's go for a walk in the garden. Can I take a picture of you too?”

Cool!

“Haha, cute~” when jumping high It's like hearing sounds from a Mario game.

Monday has come again with working at the same company.

“Oh, do you want to raise rabbits too, senpai?”

Hiroshi was startled when his younger brother at work suddenly appeared behind him. He was enjoying looking at the picture of Cookie. So he accidentally exclaimed in shock.

“Let me take a look, oh my! Black and white, fat and plump, like a cow.”

“That's rude. It's not even fat, it's just fluffy.”

Hiroshi argued, he took Cookie out for exercise every weekend. Food should be eaten in moderation. How can I get fat?

“Chief, look. Rabbit Nanny version as well."

“Wow!”

Hiroshi was shocked when his golden-bred subordinate suddenly showed his cell phone to his superior. The boss was an old man who was very powerful and strict.

“Huh? What is it, you?”

The boss narrowed his eyes. Whether it's bad or not, it's exactly what you see.

“Oh...no. It's just a small rabbit.”

The young man tried to explain. Sweat was streaming down his face as the leader picked up his cell phone and pressed something.

Will I be scolded for secretly using my cell phone while working?

“Like this one?”

The old man showed me the picture on his cell phone. Hiroshi and his younger brother leaned forward to take a look.

That...that's a chinchilla! White chinchillas are round like snowballs!

Oh my god, Hitoshi has wanted to raise this guy since he was a child. But because the price was too high, he turned his attention to rabbits instead. Is this their boss raising chinchillas?!

The younger generation's eyes lit up.

“Wow, boss raises a gatsby too?”

“No, it's a chinchilla. Same type as squirrels,” Hiroshi explained shortly.

“Isn't it the same?” the leader asked.

“Not the same.”

“So?” The boss pulled the phone back.

“It just so happens that it belongs to my daughter. He just died a few months ago. I asked if she wanted a new one and she said no and wanted a big dog instead, so these things weren't used. Tanaka-kun, would you be interested in taking over?”

Disposing of large pieces of trash in Japan is difficult and expensive, so many people choose to hand it over rather than throw it away. Items that are still in good condition if there's a second-hand shop nearby are even better, but it's a hassle and annoyance. It's easier to fight and give to others, and you'll appear to be a considerate person.

Hiroshi smiled dryly. Part of me didn't want to reject the boss' kindness. But on the other hand, I don't want it to get in the way because the chinchilla's stuff I had already looked at sometime when I wanted to raise it. It's nothing close to raising rabbits. It's smaller than his fat cow (kik means cookie). A big rabbit wouldn't be able to use a chinchilla.

Being Japanese, he responded.

“Very pleased, boss. Please, please!”

I don't think that accepting and forwarding chinchilla supplies will cause Tanaka This Hiroshi's life has changed.

Continuing from the previous episode The boss said that this weekend he would have someone bring things to the house. Hiroshi had to prepare to greet the boss at his cheap rented room. Moreover, the boss's daughter would also come to see if the things she had passed on reached me in good condition.

So I arranged to clean up the room in a big way. Bathe and brush Cookie's fur until he's as fluffy as cotton candy. I dressed myself and looked nice, like I was going on a trip. Turn on the cool air to welcome the boss and his daughter.

When he arrived, Hiroshi was shocked because the chinchilla's belongings were more than he expected. A glass cage with a climbing platform made of good quality wood. A giant glass jar filled with volcanic dust mixed with disinfectant for the hairballs to roll around in to clean. Riding on a saw, good bedding, a bag of grass, pellet food, dried fruit, lots of things like that, it's really just one person to raise.

The boss's daughter asks to play with Cookie. Hiroshi allowed it. The girl seemed to really like the fluffy bunny. I asked my father to raise another rabbit, but this time she asked for a big one. You will get lots of hugs and be able to live with large dogs. Hiroshi then recommended a breed of rabbit that he had searched on the internet to his boss.

The perfect presentation combined with her daughter's happy expression put Chief Ploy in a good mood. The old man suddenly turned to him and asked if he wanted to be promoted.

Hiroshi was stunned. But his mouth answered with sensitivity that he wanted to. The boss said that he would be nominated in the promotion exam this time. Prepare yourself. There will be more space to raise Cookie. (When I put the chinchilla's stuff in, the room looked really small. The boss was probably afraid of Cookie being uncomfortable, he hinted.

that if I get promoted, I might be able to find a bigger room to rent)

The young company employee bowed his head in thanks. When the two guests returned, Hiroshi hugged Cookie tightly.

"cookie! I'm so happy. Is Cookie the rabbit from the moon? Cookie is here to bring me good things!”

The little bunny's nose puffed up. I instinctively ducked into the warm embrace. Hiroshi hugged the little rabbit happily.

Okay, we have to pass the promotion exam this time. Fight! Work for Cookie!

And then I actually got a new place to live.

My voice may not sound very happy. That is, the reason for moving to a new place was not because I got a promotion...that is, I got a promotion. That's correct. But I plan to save money to use in times of need first. I don't want a new place to live right now.

But a few days ago, the dormitory I was staying in had a robbery case. Plus, a few minutes later there was an earthquake that damaged half of the building. I am very lucky that my room was not affected. Plus, at that time I was taking Cookie to show off to my close friends in the next town. So he wasn't in the room.

To be safe in both life and property But such a frightening event happened on the same day and I didn't feel comfortable staying.

Hiroshi checked out the larger room. Now he lives in a room that doesn't feel uncomfortable even though he has a rabbit corner and a huge chinchilla tank.

Well, let's celebrate the opening of the new room by going to buy some snacks for Cookie.

Hiroshi was walking at the pet market. Even his aim is to buy treats for the rabbits. But my eyes kept on looking at the cute pets. Until walking very slowly

Hmm...the basics are probably dogs, cats, and birds. Oh, there are also reptiles like snakes and lizards. But he doesn't get along well with snakes. Wow, there are fish too. They're so small and cute. Will they last? There are big ones, but they are very big. They also eat meat. Will they jump up and bite a cookie on a good day? That's scary.

The young man kept walking and found what he wanted. Rabbit snacks for Cookie Hiroshi showed his kindness by ordering all the varieties so the little bunny could try them to see which he liked the most. (Though throughout the time I've raised him, Cookie likes to eat everything.)

His right hand reached out and picked up a bag of rabbit snacks. Suddenly, his eyes fell on...

A round, gray-furred chinchilla bongs in a glass cabinet.

The chinchilla's nose puffed up. Reminds me of another one in the house. It raised its front legs and scratched its ears so cutely that Hiroshi shrieked with affection.

“Are you interested in her, customer?” A female employee hurriedly came to sell.

"Oh, um, it's cute."

“There's the last one left. Aren't you interested in adopting a younger sibling?"

“Huh?”

Hiroshi blinked. He turned to look around. The store has animal products and a few rabbits and squirrels. There was only one gray lump that was a chinchilla.

“It's me...”

His mouth was about to deny it, but hey, we got our chinchilla's essentials from our boss. We have cleaned and disinfected everything as well. Ready to move in immediately without having to pay a single baht for the entrance fee.

“It's the price of the little one...”

"I'll give you a special discount right now," the female employee said.

“You must be lonely if you're alone. Many customers have already chosen the white and black models. There's only one little one left, so pitiful."

“You, sir, are…”

"She's easy to take care of. She's not stubborn or naughty. Buy now and get free grass and dried fruit."

Young female employees receive full discounts, exchanges and giveaways. The round creature sat still, raising its front legs and making its nose puff out. Hiroshi made a decisive decision: Look carefully, this is the rejection of the Japanese people!

Stunned!

"Sorry I'm late, Cookie."

Stunned!

“I also bought some snacks. How about celebrating our new home?"

Tung, Tung!

"Okay, I give up. Don't be upset."

Hiroshi unzipped his sweater, revealing a round chinchilla. He looked around the room suspiciously. When the young man put it in the cage, it immediately jumped around to investigate.

“A, do I have to support the cage? It's better to put water and food in it. Ah!”

His right hand reached out and grabbed the furball that was about to jump out of the cage. He wiggled his nose towards Cookie. Cookie also scrunched up his nose.

'I'm curious to know. But it's better to wait until you get used to the place a little more.'

Hiroshi thought as he closed the cage.

Um...what name should I give it? I thought as I looked at the hairball. No matter how you look at it, it's a ball of hair. Can't think of any other words.

“If I call you Furball, will you sound desperate?”

Hiroshi muttered, but before he could think of another name, Cookie scratched at his leg. It seems to suggest that its time has come. Hiroshi picked him up and hugged him lovingly. Grasping his soft belly and stroking his head in an appeasing way. Hopefully he won't be angry or upset that there's a new member in the house.

“Don't worry. I love you no less,” Hiroshi kissed the little one.

Chinchillas are easy to care for.

It's a big eater, but the food it eats isn't much different from cookies. Even though they are different types, they are the same type. Plus, he doesn't even have to take a shower. Just let it mix with the volcanic dust for a long time. Once is enough That saves a lot of cleaning time.

It likes to jump around like a rabbit. Chinchillas can run incredibly fast. When Hiroshi lets them out and play together He had to step carefully so as not to accidentally step on the two broken brake blocks.

Furball goes well with cookies. It took Hiroshi a week to convince him that Cookie wouldn't bite Furball. Even though the size of the two are not much different. But their teeth are very sharp. If you are not careful, injury may occur. At first Cookie refused to play with Furball. But it only took a short time to get used to it. Racing without rest The person who staggered and fell was Hiroshi instead.

“Furball can now enter the house.”

Dung, Dung, Dung, Thump!

Another thing that Hiroshi likes is that Furball is extremely intelligent. It can jump into the cage by itself. Whatever you hold, hold it. like small branches or a thin sheet of paper The little chinchilla accepted the hold easily. Of course, Hiroshi took pictures and kept them for his collection.

“Cookie, Furball, want to go for a walk?”

Cookie quickly jumped up. As for Furball, Hiroshi carries him when he goes out. Because the furball is too small You may be attacked by a stray dog ​​or cat. As for Cookie, he always wears a leash. Plus it doesn't jump very far. Time to go out It tends to stay still. He sniffled his nose and smelled the grass and flowers on the side of the road.

"Oh my gosh, you're really adorable. Can I please hold you?"

An aunt greeted him (?). Hiroshi remembered that she was in the same room. The young man nodded and gave her hand sanitizer to use before touching Furball.

“Oh~ The fur is so soft. It shows that the young father takes very good care of him. That's it."

"Oh, not that much," Hiroshi replied.

“However, when taking a walk like this, you have to be careful of stray cats. There are a lot of them in this group, and they are quite fierce.”

“Thank you for the warning. I'll be careful.” Hiroshi took Furball back from his aunt before saying goodbye when it was time for dinner.

“A cat? If you meet a cat, you'll probably be its food. You guys are just like this.”

Hiroshi said with a laugh, earning a look from the cow-striped rabbit and the gray furball in return.

Is it true? Both Cookie and Furball are fat and furry. If it were eaten by a large cat, it would probably become a snack. Wouldn't it be a good idea to postpone the walk time a little earlier? You won't have to worry about cats ambushing you.

Hiroshi thought as he ate the salad on his plate. Recently, he felt that he was in better health. I get to walk and exercise every day with Song Kon. The rooms became bigger and wider and the surroundings looked better. And when eating, when I turned around, I saw Cookie chewing on a bunch of vegetables. I turned the other way and saw Furball sucking on dried fruit. He also wanted to eat some, so he turned to buying more salad vegetables to cook himself than before.

“Wow, today's Caesar salad came out really well. What about cookies, do you want to eat them?”

Tight, tight, tight.

“Oh, it smells like an oven. I'm baking a carrot cake. I'll continue with baking the fruit and making dried fruit to eat with cereal. What's up, Furball? Interested in eating together?”

Snort, Snort, Snort.

“Oh, you guys are so cute~~~”

Love-crazed Hiroshi happily eats salad and fruit.

One night it rained heavily. Hiroshi returned to his room soaking wet. He quickly took off his wet clothes and threw them into the washing machine. Wash your hands before running to check on Cookie and Furball's condition.

“Are you guys okay? Just now, the thunder was very loud. Don't be afraid, oh.”

Hiroshi hurriedly hugged the furball to comfort him. In fact, rabbits and other small animals Don't panic that easily. But he wanted to do this to comfort the two furballs who were in a room alone. Cookie and Furball didn't appear frightened or hyperventilate. The young man then gave each one a piece of candy as a reward.

“I probably won't be able to go outside for a walk today. Come stay in the room then."

Hiroshi hurriedly shook off his company employee appearance. Take a shower to make yourself comfortable. Blow dry your hair and sit in a warm duvet. with the soft, fluffy lump on the sofa Hiroshi kept watching the TV program and stopped at the children's cartoon channel. In it there are pictures of cute dancing vegetables. The two naughty guys seemed to be interested in the vegetables on the TV screen.

“Hahaha, then let's watch this channel, ah!”

Two lumps jumped out of Hiroshi's embrace and went to watch the vegetables dance on the table in front of the TV. They scrunched up their noses. Stretch your neck curiously.

“Hey, am I allergic to dancing vegetables? That's not fair,” Hiroshi complained.

scorching!

"heavily!"

The sound of the lightning was not very loud, but it was accompanied by more intense rain.

“Better put the rags and sandals out to dry. It'll be blown away."

Hiroshi thought as he walked over to open the balcony.

Swing

Hiroshi froze, feeling eyes on him. Who was this? Who was watching us? The young man didn't dare move. But because he was afraid of the rain splashing into the house, he was forced to look up.

And then he saw...a pair of big yellow eyes staring intently at him!

“Wow!”

Hiroshi quickly let go of his slippers. His hand searched for the light switch and turned it on.

Paek!

".....Oh, it's a cat."

Black eyes met yellow eyes in the darkness. Because of the cat's pitch-black fur, it was invisible at first, causing everyone to be shocked. It's said to be a cat with very long fur. Their size is about the same as between a child cat and an adult cat. Sitting and kissing Puk in the corner of the balcony that isn't affected by the rain.

Wait a minute, hey! Whose cat is this?

“Ah”

Hiroshi hurriedly closed the balcony door, afraid that the quick-footed rabbit and chinchilla would jump out of the room. Or the cat jumped into the room. He stood staring at the cat for a while. The black cat showed no signs of moving. Big yellow eyes looked at Hiroshi without any signs of fear or suspicion.

Where did the cat come from?

But first you have to deal with pets in the house. Hiroshi carried Cookie into the fold. As for Furball, he put him in a cage for safety. The young man opened the small door. Use a stick to knock the rags down in case your cat wants to wrap them up to cool off. But he just stared at the old towel silently.

Cat lovers may think I'm mean. Why don't you immediately bring the cat into the room? Hey, don't be hysterical. I have two pets in the house. The black cat outside is a cat, no one knows. Maybe it was a stray cat. If it has a disease or something and it infects my pet, what will I say? Who will be responsible?

But I'm not a heartless person who sees animals in distress and ignores them. Hiroshi took out an unused towel and placed another one for him. Open a can of tuna in spring water and leave it for him to eat. Then I took another empty can and washed it and put it in clean water for him to drink.

Hiroshi put everything outside and sat and watched. At first the cat just stared at him. refused to move anywhere Until the young man got up to go to the bathroom and returned to find that the cat was devouring canned tuna with gusto. After eating, he continued drinking water before taking an old towel and sleeping in the same corner.

'Better call the veterinarian tomorrow to make an appointment. Look to see if there's a microchip implanted.'

Hiroshi said as he sent a message to the doctor at the animal clinic.

exotic

that I go to regularly and also send to Niti Condo to see if anyone's cat has disappeared into my room or not.

“See you in the morning, kitty. If you haven't gone anywhere yet?"

Big eyes stared at him again. Before Hiroshi turned off the lights and went to sleep.

“There is no microchip. There's no collar," the doctor said.

“But his health is quite strong. Is it good to get vaccinated? At this age you can already do it. The doctor will take care of it for you.”

Hiroshi was stunned, not knowing what to do. When I woke up in the morning, the black cat was still there. So he put the cat in a package and brought it to the pet clinic. The doctor examined it and found nothing that could identify its owner. In the residential group chat, no one posed as the owner.

From the look on the doctor's face, he definitely wouldn't let him leave the cat at the clinic. Looking for a new home, I don't know where to look. Plus, you have to pay for expensive vaccines and examination fees.

“The doctor won't charge a fee for the examination. Mr. Hiroshi is also a friendly person. But if you want to get this vaccine, the doctor charges money and you have to take the cat back with you.”

Doctor, I don't want to raise a cat. I already have a hairball at my house.

But continuing like this will disturb the doctor and other patients. Hiroshi decided to vaccinate it.

“Please help me take a shower and apply flea and tick medicine.”

The doctor smiled brightly.

“Alright.”

Well, if you have to find a new home, you probably won't be able to find one anytime soon. You'll need to vaccinate, bathe, and make the stray cat as clean as possible before placing him with his pets.

While bathing, Hiroshi came to buy essential items: cat food, a water bowl, a rice bowl, a sleeping pad, a stuffed toy and a cat litter. He didn't want the furballs fighting over his toys. It may cause a quarrel. The employee saw that Hiroshi was a regular customer and gave him a new product of cat licks for free.

When we returned to the clinic, the cat had already had a bath and had her fur blown. She smelled fragrant, and the fur was soft and fluffy to the touch. Hiroshi took it to the car. I don't know if the shower is clean or not because everywhere I look, it's black. Only the eyes are yellow. But the employees here are already quality. The little cat is definitely clean. Its yellow eyes silently stared back at Hiroshi.

"Anyway, stay with me first..."

Three months had passed and no one had come to claim ownership or wish to adopt Romeo.

Yes, I named it Romeo. Why? Because it's handsome and unusual for a normal cat.

The normal image of a cat is that it is affectionate, mischievous, mischievous, scratches, bites, and is proud and looks upon its master like a slave. Plus, I like to bite and bite. But no matter what, the owner only loves it because it meows. Hiroshi was one of them as well.

But Romeo isn't like a cat. He likes to sit still and quietly, lick his fur, walk around and purr a little, but not a lot. Plus, sometimes Hiroshi can't find Romeo because of his pitch-black fur.

Let me tell you back from the first day that Romeo arrived. Hiroshi put it in his sweater as usual. As soon as we reached the room The rabbit and chinchilla suddenly tensed up. It was as if he knew he was being watched by a predator. But Romeo did no harm. He puffed his nose, sniffed around the house, then chose a corner to lay down. Hiroshi picked up Cookie and gave him a sniff, followed by Furball to get to know him.

Romeo didn't pounce or eat the furball like the young man thought. Maybe it's because of his personality or because Cookie and Furball smell of the room we're in. Romeo probably knew that the two were residents who came first, not food. Therefore, there is probably some consideration for the person who was here before. Thinking like this, will it look too fancy?

Hiroshi got a second-hand cat condo from a store near his workplace. It's a cream-colored condo that's still in good condition. The young man took it off and washed it and cleaned it and set it up next to the window of the room. Romeo seems to really like it. He likes to go up and watch birds from the top of the highest cat condo. If you're hungry, come down to eat. When we were full, we went upstairs to sunbathe.

What's so comfortable about being a cat?

That's not all yet. Romeo can even go to the cat's bathroom on his own without him having to teach him. The more I think about it, the more I wonder. Romeo may have been owned before. Because stray cats shouldn't be able to do this much. Maybe the previous owner is gone or doesn't want Romeo anymore. It turned into a stray cat before meeting him.

'Black cats are said to be a bad omen'

He recalled the words of the cleaning aunt at the company where he worked. Because I see that your aunt really likes cats and has raised ten or twenty cats, I would like to ask for some advice. But I got an answer like this.

Hiroshi looked at the black furball. Or did Romeo's old master abandon him for this reason? No, it's just that it's black. I don't think it's a bad omen. If you love other colors, you must love black too. Plus, the black furball is not stubborn or naughty. Staying calm and neat like this Why don't you love me?

“Here, Romeo.”

Hiroshi called, the little cat turned to look at him. Now call Romeo and turn. That means it can remember its own name. Does this mean that he has already raised it?

“From now on, let's go together.”

Hiroshi smiled as he held Cookie. Furball himself jumped onto his head. Romeo didn't react. It just reached up and licked the tip of his nose once before going back to sleep.

He lay down on the soft cushion and relaxed in the warm sunset.

“So you now have three pets?”

"Yes, haha. I don't know when there were so many of them."

Hiroshi said dryly laughing. It was close to New Year's Day and his company had a long holiday, so the young man returned home. Because his house was very far from his current address, he had to leave the three dogs at a pet care shop.

He was very worried about the furball. But taking them on a car ride across town didn't seem like a good idea since they had never driven long distances before. Hiroshi tearfully bid farewell to the furball. Please ask the shop owner to take care of the hairball. (The owner of the shop looked a bit taken aback when Hiroshi called his pet a three-colored, three-style hairball movement.)

The young man waved goodbye for the last time. He could see that the three furballs missed him very much. Cookie lifted his foot and scratched his ear. Furball raised his tiny hand and scratched his face. Romeo used his tongue to lick up bits of cat treats and lick them into his mouth.

Um, ah, I guess we're just being dramatic. You don't have to worry.

“With so much to raise, do you have money to eat?” Hiroshi's mother asked.

“Yes, yes, and I eat better too. I saw Khon eating vegetables and I wanted to eat some too. Recently, I bought a whole piece of salmon to practice slicing myself. This evening, Mom can wait to see my skills.”

“Oh, let's give it to him. Now go wash your hands and go into the house. Your father is waiting."

Hiroshi helps his mother carry things from the market into the house. Being a good child, he arranged his things in order. Help with cooking Give the dog food too. Because this meal, my mother prepared it completely. Definitely full and warm. You have to work to match the food.

“Come here quickly, come on.”

Hiroshi calls his parents' Doberman dog to come eat some food. A favorite bowl filled with grilled meat-flavored kibble and two hard-boiled eggs. Place it in front of the dog.

“Eat it, eat a lot, eh?”

Hiroshi was startled when a white lump appeared beneath the long-legged Doberman's stomach, running around. The white lump circled around his feet and stood on two legs, clinging to his pant legs.

“Huh? Eh? Who is this?”

Hiroshi hurriedly picked up the small dog before it could eat the large dog's rice. The young man picked it up and looked at it. It was a cute little dog with fluffy white fur. Because dogs came in all sizes, he didn't know if they were puppies or adults. The young man then sat down and looked up the little person's species in his phone.

"A dog with white fur, small, fluffy, cute. Oh, I found it."

Hiroshi compares the picture of a dog on his phone to the one with a hanging tongue.

“Maltese? Species from Korea"

Hiroshi stared at the furball again.

“You are very expensive. So why are you here?”

"Oh, that's right. Please feed that one, Hiroshi."

His mother walked by and saw him.

“Did Mom and Dad buy a new dog? Why did you say you don't like small dogs?" Hiroshi asked.

“Oh, that's your sister's dog. He broke up with his girlfriend and left the dog for his mother.”

“What? Why are you so irresponsible?” Hiroshi yelled.

“After raising them, you have to take care of them to the utmost. I broke up with my boyfriend and left my dog. see what it is A reminder of an ex-boyfriend who doesn't want to see you? Are you crazy?"

Hiroshi covered the puppy's ears with his hands.

“Mother, please teach me to be responsible. You can just wait for Oh.”

Mother raised her ears and went back to cooking. The young man sighed exhaustedly. Mom is like this. I have never offended my eldest child.

“You are so pitiful.”

Hiroshi stroked his fur with pity. The dog was still cheerful and licked the young man's fingers. It probably doesn't know that it has been abandoned. Hiroshi poured some rice for it to eat, and it hurriedly ate it with gusto.

“Here, one boiled egg. We raise them like this in our house. How do the Dobermans there get to be so tight with pugs?”

Hiroshi joked. Even if he ate a hundred boiled eggs, this little guy wouldn't be as muscular as a Doberman.

Woof!

"I'm complimenting you, not criticizing you at all."

Hiroshi stroked the large dog's head. The little one wanted attention and clung to his leg. Hiroshi reached out and stroked its head as well.

“You take it to feed me.”

Mother suddenly spoke in the middle of the dinner table. Hiroshi, who was slurping miso soup, choked.

“Huh?”

“Your sister's fluffy Mumi. Take it and treat it. You like it, don't you?”

Sorry, I'm asking the truth. Is that the dog's name?

“Why doesn't Mom let me take it back to raise? It's been a long time since we broke up, so I guess my frustration has disappeared."

“You don't love him anymore. Do you think that people who don't love their pets can keep raising animals?”

Hiroshi wanted to argue. But it's true. To send, uh... the white one back. His master no longer loves him. To give rice and water But the matter of finding free time to play probably no longer exists. And how can an animal that doesn't receive love be happy?

But he's got Cookie and Furball and Romeo. There is another dog. I don't know if I can take care of it. Besides, they say that dogs don't get along well with cats. Some breeds of dogs were previously used to hunt rabbits. The size of the white one and the furball are very different. Can't stay together

“I can't raise it. I have some hairballs to take care of.”

“Well, let's hope he can live with a big dog.”

Mother said and continued eating. Father didn't say anything. On this table, I'm probably the only one who's distraught.

Three pairs of eyes looked at me with displeasure. His eyes seemed to say,

'Did you take it again?'

“I know, I'm a soft-hearted person. Can you apologize?”

Hiroshi hissed, releasing the white-furred dog from his sweater. The fluffy dog ​​scurried across the room. He pouted his nose as he surveyed his new home. Run and cause trouble in Cookie's pen. Scrambling to see Furball's cage Then he tried to jump into Romeo's cat condo.

Hiroshi agrees to adopt the white furball, but on the condition that his older sister must support his upbringing.

A young man brought all of his dog's supplies from his older sister's dormitory. along with forcing them to pay food and alimony every month It is the least responsibility a person can take.

Luckily, my sister's ex-boyfriend kept the dog's vaccination history. It also has a microchip implanted. So he doesn't have to spend additional money on this part. And his room still has enough room for a small dog. There's another one.

“Alright, time to name it.”

Hiroshi thought, he definitely didn't intend to use his old name. It's too difficult to call. Plus it's embarrassing as hell. He wanted a new name, a new address, a new owner.

"Um...I can't think of anything."

I almost ran out of name ideas. This furball number four is white. In my head there are only names of white things. I really want it to sound cooler.

Paek!

“Ah, hey, don't be naughty.”

Hiroshi carries a small dog that was so mischievous that the TV remote fell. The music from the series that had been left on rang out. It's a song that when you listen to it you immediately know what series it is from. Based on a famous book and has an amazing dragon.

"...Dragon"

The little dog tilted his head.

“I know it sounds weird. But from now on, your name will be Drogon.” Hiroshi rubbed the dog's head.

“The Furious Drogon!”

Bok!

“I'll take that as a yes,” Hiroshi snickered, “I'll get you a cute dragon outfit to wear.”

Drogon is rather difficult to raise compared to others.

The little dog was always running around, eating a lot, and Hiroshi had to be careful because he was the biggest animal in the room. Sometimes I play hard. You have to be careful not to accidentally hurt other animals. Plus, their white fur is very difficult to care for. One moment it turns yellow and the next it has red stains. You must always bathe and groom yourself.

But seeing this, Dragon Ball is the most affectionate of the group. When I run until I'm tired, I'll lie down and put it on the front of my feet. Sometimes he jumps on his lap and begs for snacks. Plus it's the smartest. Tell him to jump, ask for a hand, lie down and roll, it can be done in a short period of time. It's easy to put on a costume, unlike Romeo who can just put his hat on his head. The image of the white dog in the dragon costume was something he thought was very cute.

When I take him out for a walk, people love him. With an appearance like a little angel, girls and pedestrians ask to take pictures every day. The little one also worked hard to score points. Acting cutely with tongue hanging out. Every photo came out cute.

“Look, you guys, don't fight with each other. I've eaten all of them already, haha."

Mealtime is the busiest time at the Tanaka household. Four animals of four different species were rushing around. Cookie jumped up and stomped his feet. Furball was running around like a rocket. Romeo isn't too busy, but he likes to jump on the table when he's not paying attention. I was a little shocked when I played it. Drogon scratched his legs and made a loud noise. Wagging its tail nonstop in a cute way

“Come on, Big Brother first.”

Hiroshi serves hay and pellets to the Cookie and Cream rabbit.

“Next is Jew Jiw.”

Hiroshi placed a bowl of grass and dried fruit on a low chair for the furball chinchilla, fearing that the round one would be stepped on.

“Mr. Dark, today there is wet food.”

Hiroshi puts out a bowl of wet salmon-flavored food mixed with nourishing vitamins for the cool cat Romeo.

“In the end, he was a troublemaker.”

Hiroshi served roast beef kibble and a boiled egg to Drogon the dog.

The four of them bent their heads down and ate their dinner. Hiroshi, attacked by the cuteness, hurriedly grabbed his cell phone and took a photo or video. Ordinary company employee Sitting happily watching the four furballs eat their food.

Even if you're tired, even if you spend a lot of money But he was happy to be with the colorful lump. They bring happiness and new stories. came to fill his ordinary life a lot, from the first time he thought of raising an animal as a friend Look, he has such a big family now. It's unbelievable, but it happened.

I didn't think that an ordinary person like him could do it. And he really did it.

When I think about it, what I said to you at the beginning almost doesn't apply to this situation. As I said, you have to be prepared. But even though I wasn't ready, I tried my best to welcome my little friend. Even though I didn't have much time, I managed to squeeze in my own time to play with every furball.

Even though the money wasn't enough, I managed a new account so that the money was enough. Plus, he's working more diligently than before.

Love makes us do things that seem impossible, right? Haha.

Bok!

“Huh? Are you full?”

The little dog uses his nose to push the bowl to show off. His eyes sparkled, wanting something else.

"I know, snacks, right? I'll go get them for you right now."

Hiroshi said and stood up.

Meow~

“Ah, no, Romeo. Don't eat and then sleep. You need to walk a bit after eating. I'll go get the cat-catching stick.”

Tight, tight, tight!

"cookie! Eat it all before running around. And don't jump from a high place.”

Thump! Wake up.

“Ah, Furball! How can you eat without falling off the chair? Oh, I'll just buy you a short table."

The days passed happily. But one day the fear must come.

Day to see the veterinarian

"Mr. Tanaka Hiroshi, please come."

“Ah, yes.”

The young man carried four bags into the examination room. The moans and moans of the furballs were endless. The sound of moaning and groaning The sound of stomping feet But the worst thing was probably the cat that opened its mouth and screamed like she was about to be slaughtered.

"Please disturb me...oh."

Hiroshi is surprised when the doctor who comes to check on him is not his old doctor. The new doctor looked about his own age. Brand new gown, looks like a bright new graduate. Short hair, tall and big. Because he's wearing a mask, he doesn't know if he's a man or a woman. There are bags under the eyes like a doctor's style.

But it looks really, really cool.

“The previous doctor moved to the morning round instead. In the evening, it's the new doctor," the nurse whispered.

“But don't worry, it's over.

exotic

Same, definitely can be trusted.”

"Uh, yes, please."

Hiroshi put down his small bag. Pick up the little chinchilla furball and place it on the examination table.

“Then let's begin.”

The new doctor spoke in a slow voice. Even though he's a new kid, he looks skilled. He examines carefully. His hands are light. You can see from the appearance of the lump's fur that it hasn't been squeezed or collapsed.

“Good health, beautiful fur, strong teeth, no problems.” The doctor carried the lump back into his bag.

“You can invite the next person.”

“Uh, it's...”

Hiroshi scratched his cheek. The next case is still him. The young man took out a larger bag. He carried out the fat cow rabbit cookies and put them on the table.

"...Ah, then the doctor will continue examining. Oh, okay, this one is healthy, no problems."

Hiroshi lifted the rabbit's bag down. Replaced with a Romeo cat bag. Handsome black cat

The inspection passed. Hiroshi held up the largest bag. It's Drogon, a very cute white dog.

“Oops, hahaha.”

The doctor burst out laughing.

“Eh!?”

“How many kinds of animals do you raise exactly?”

The doctor laughed happily. Hiroshi's face turned red with embarrassment. Normal people raise only a few species, but many. As for him, he bought one of each.

“Ahem, I'm sorry. I'm relaxing a bit,” the doctor said.

“Haha, no, it's really funny.”

“You take great care of all the animals. Plus there are many different types. I will definitely remember you.”

"Eh?"

Hiroshi suddenly turned red. Ordinary employee life I'll never have my heart pounding. Even though it ends with, the doctor has a small, high-pitched voice like a woman's. I don't know exactly what gender it is, but people are already embarrassed.

Protest sounds from the four furballs sounded as they wanted to go home. Hiroshi had to excuse himself, his face still red. While waiting to pay, give them some snacks to help them calm down.

Hiroshi looked down at his four furry friends. “Look, if I brought them to the animal clinic more often, Will you guys be angry?”

Meow! stem! Thump! Thump!

“Oh, come on~”

It's finished for Wright's second original.

It's soft and fluffy. I want to write something cute. At first it will be divided into several sections. But when I thought about it, it wasn't a lot, so I compiled it into one episode and ended it. It might take a long time to read, but it's definitely worth it. The kids are cute and fluffy. When you read it, there are only clouds floating around. Haha.

Wright did not write about animal husbandry in detail. Therefore, anyone who wants to raise animals must find more information than this. You also need to look at the money in your wallet. Raising an animal costs hundreds or thousands a month. You have to think a lot, think a lot, and look for reviews from real breeders as well. But if raised, Wright wishes both the pet and the owner to be happy for a long time.

Wright doesn't know if when he writes his own originals his skills are lost or not. Anyway, please press on my heart. You can comment or talk. Wright will know that there are people who like his writing. Then you will have more encouragement.

Finally, thank you to everyone who read until the end. Then stop by and read other stories by Wright at the pen name. Blue Typhoon and fiction work in

Also, I love all readers.
