Speaking of tabby cats, there were plenty in the mountain village.
Every household had one, and they were all free-range.
The vast majority were black tabbies, fierce and easy to keep alive, with extremely robust health.
Pedigree cats were rather difficult to keep alive in the mountains, if kept indoors they were okay, with few dangers, but if let outside, they could easily fall ill.
There was a Boss among the village cats.
In such a large village, there would always be a few particularly formidable tabby cats.
When these cats appeared, the others would scatter and hide.
Cats are very intelligent animals.
Xu Yang took some sausage sticks from his family's shop and headed to the road in the village.
Those sausage sticks were the "salary" he had prepared.
In some urban communities, when a pet cat goes missing and the owner doesn't know where it is, they would feed the stray cats in the neighborhood.
Then they would also show the stray cats a photo of their own cat.
