Animals' touching stories Topic: The offspring of wildcats

Copyright: Tang Xiaoxi Original Submitted: 13:50:09 November 20, 2011

A friend's house has a cat with golden fur, always timid when he sees people, with a pair of big eyes that twinkle with constraints and uneasiness. I casually picked up a teddy bear to tease it, it did not show a three-month-old cat should be naughty and curious, seems to figure out that I do not have hostile intent before gradually into the game.

A friend picked it up off the floor and told me about its strange history.

There is a wild cat near the neighborhood, and my friend has seen it hanging out in the dark corners several times. The wildcat also had love, and the fruit of that love was seven cat cubs. The wildcat's mother could not afford to raise so many offspring, and she herself lived a starving life. After the kittens were weaned, she picked them up and put them in the doorway of a household in the neighborhood, then hid in the shadows and waited until the household discovered the kittens.

Even if the kitten is happily carried into the home, the wildcat mother doesn't leave immediately, she has to wait outside for a while longer until she confirms that the kitten has been taken in by the family, and then goes back to the nest to take the next one. I've heard that there are a few families where the kitten is carried back by a small child, and in less than five minutes the kitten is thrown out by an adult in the family, at which point the mother will pick it up and take her chances with another family.

In the end, there was one little black kitten that was never taken in. Maybe it wasn't auspicious enough in color, or maybe the neighborhood was saturated with pets, but in any case it was the feral mother who raised it on her own.

A friend tapped the nose of the cat in her arms and said, "Remember your mom? Your mom didn't want you. Do you miss your mommy?" The cat meowed in reply.

The friend said the kitten hadn't been out of the house since she got it back, and that it had a deep-seated fear of the front door, probably because it had been thrown out of someone's house. If my friend occasionally carried it to the area near the door, it would let out a miserable yelp and struggled to get away, it was terrified of being abandoned again. As a result, he was surprisingly well-behaved from an early age, knowing how to urinate and defecate in floor drains without instruction, and unlike ordinary kittens, he didn't use the sofa and bedsheets as his own martial arts training ground and scratched all over the place. It has established a deep affection and tacit understanding with its owner, reflecting the rare attachment of cats to people. When my friend left for work at 7:00 a.m., it licked its owner awake at 6:00 a.m. every morning, for which my friend never used the alarm clock. Every day after work, the kitten would lie on the balcony and look forward to the appearance of its owner.

After my friend finished telling me the story of the kitten, I fell into a long period of contemplation.

Feral cats have always been abhorrent to people. They haunt the night, covered in filth, like Satan's apostles. I have heard and witnessed many instances of human persecution of feral cats, many of them heinous and cruel. On the other hand, in the eyes of wildcats, humans are their number one natural enemy. You can hardly get within five meters of a wildcat, and they will immediately run away when they smell the sound of human voices.

So why would a mother risk her own flesh and blood in the hands of a human?

I think this wildcat mother must be a domestic cat, it has also enjoyed the warmth of the family, the love and compassion of the owner, it understands human beings, and knows that young cats have a strong temptation to most people.

It may not have been that it couldn't raise this litter of kittens, either; a more plausible explanation would be that it didn't want the kittens to live a life of hunger and cold. It knows that the kittens, in a human home, would be eating delicious cat food and lying on a spacious balcony enjoying the sunshine. What a heartfelt gesture! Who can say that the light of a mother's love shines only in humans?

The wildcat's offspring have finally lived up to their mother's expectations, and each kitten has grown up healthily, without a trace of wildness, and its intelligence and good behavior has surpassed that of the ordinary domestic cat. Hopefully, they will not suffer the misfortune of the wildcat mother, abandoned by the owner and living on the street, but also hope that the wildcats in all corners of our city will finally disappear, because what they always long for, is still human love.

Elephants howl to save tourists

A group of foreign tourists in the up-and-coming tourist resort of Koh Lap in northern Phuket, Thailand, were lucky to be rescued when the elephants they were riding on suddenly ran wildly to high ground.

Before the tsunami hit, Thai elephant driver Dang. Saranggam and his wife led a team of eight elephants toward the beach with a dozen foreign tourists on their backs. Suddenly, the elephants began to whimper. About an hour after they calmed down, they "cried" again, and this time there was no more peace.

Soon the elephants were carrying the terrified tourists up a bush-covered hill away from the beach. Other elephants on the beach, not working, also broke free of their heavy chains and ran for higher ground. Then people saw huge waves coming and started running wildly after the elephants.

. Puppy rescues 7-year-old owner

A puppy named Selvankumar rescued his owner, Dinakaran, in a seaside village in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, one of the hardest hit by the tsunami.

When the tsunami struck, Dinakaran's mother, Sangeeta, could only grab the hands of her two young sons and run desperately for higher ground, hoping that her oldest child, 7-year-old Dinakaran, would follow her out of harm's way. But instead of following his mother, Dinakaran ran towards what he thought was the safest place - a small shack only about 40 meters from the shore.

In the nick of time, Selvankumar turned around and went after his young master. He nipped at his shirt and nuzzled his nose along the way, pulling him back to safety at a nearby high point. A grateful Dinakaran, who was eventually rescued, said, "Selvankumar bit the collar of my shirt and dragged me back."

. Elephants help relief efforts

Elephants have become the helpers of choice for rescuers in the hard-hit areas of southern Thailand. So far, 24 elephants have been transported to the southern region of Thailand to participate in the rescue and reconstruction work after the disaster. The owner of the elephants said that in these debris-strewn disaster areas, "elephants are much more efficient than four-wheeled trucks and hoes, and only elephants can take on this work."

Local government sources in southern Thailand said the elephants were carrying tons of garbage away from the area for rescuers working in extremely tough conditions.

Famous writer Ye Guangqin told a true story she encountered.

In order to experience life, she went to a county in Daxinganling to work as a deputy secretary, in fact, she didn't care how much she did, she just wanted to examine the animal conditions in Daxinganling. Her colleague told her about an unforgettable experience his father had.

In the 1970s, people there were hunting golden monkeys for their skins for export. She asked the people there, "You make so many leather jackets, do you wear them? Their answer was: We don't wear them, who wears them, you know? It feels like wearing a scalp on your body! Because the hair of the golden monkey is very scarce, and the cut has no downy hair.

The way to hunt for golden monkeys at that time was to surround the mountain. People first drove the monkeys to the open area from all around, and when they drove them to nowhere, the next step was to cut down the bushes around them and start the monkey war. Because people want the skin of the monkeys, so despite the death of the fight, the fight is howling monkeys, miserable.

On one occasion during the hunt, a mother monkey was carrying a baby monkey in her arms and running desperately, and in the process of running, she grabbed a baby monkey on her back and ran with it. At this time there are two old hunters chased over, one of them is the colleague's father. Have been chased to the edge of the cliff on a large tree, as if the monkey no longer have nowhere to run, the two hunters lifted the snatch, in the moment to open the snatch, the mother monkey's hand forward, even made a human-like "pause" gesture, the two hunters are very puzzled, and then stopped. The two hunters were puzzled and stopped. At that moment, the mother took the two little monkeys into her arms and fed them milk. Maybe the little monkeys weren't too hungry, so they stopped eating and ran off to play. The mother then picked leaves and squeezed the leftover milk onto the leaves, placing them one by one on the fork of a tree that was further away from the baby monkeys. When the milk was dried up, the mother monkey bowed her body in front of the two hunters and covered her face with her hands, meaning that she was going to rob them. The two hunters could no longer lift their hands, because they were not just shooting a soulless, emotionless animal, but a great mother!

The old hunter never hunted again.

This is a Tibetan story I heard. The time when the story happened was some years ago. However, every time I ride through the no-man's land in northern Tibet, I can't help but think of the main character of this story, the Tibetan antelope that condensed its mother's love into a deep knee. In those days, shooting and catching wild animals were not punishable by law. Today, the sound of gunshots in Cocoa Sili is still echoing in the corners of the nature reserve where the footsteps of the guards on patrol are hard to reach. Back then, the Tibetan antelope, wild horses, wild asses, snow chickens, yellow sheep and so on, have now become rare. At that time, often run in northern Tibet can always see a shoulder cape long hair, with a thick beard, foot pedal long Tibetan boots old hunter in the Tibetan highway near the activities. That worn shiny pitchfork gun hanging diagonally on his body, behind the two Tibetan yaks carrying a heavy variety of prey. He has no name and no surname, traveling all over the world, the snow in the north of Tibet, the night sleeps in the river source, when he is hungry, boiled yellow mutton, when he is thirsty, drink a bowl of ice and snow water. Hunted those skins will naturally sell some money, in addition to his own consumption of a part of the outside, more used to relieve the road encountered pilgrims. Those kowtow to Lhasa Hajj Tibetan people willingly walk a long road full of difficulties and dangers. Every time the old hunter in the relief of them always tearfully wish: God bless, safe and sound. Kill and charity in the old hunter **** exist. Prompted him to put down the pitchfork gun in his hand was after such an incident. I should say that day was a very blessed one for him. Early in the morning, he came out of the tent, stretching, was about to drink a copper bowl of butter tea, suddenly saw two steps away from the opposite side of the grassy slopes stood a fat and strong Tibetan antelope. His eyes lit up, a beautiful thing came to his door. After a night's sleep, he immediately came up with a fresh energy, without hesitation, he turned back to the tent to bring the pitchfork gun. He raised the gun and aimed up, the strange thing is, the fat Tibetan antelope did not escape, just with begging eyes looking at him, and then rushed to him two steps forward, two front legs flopped down, and at the same time only see two lines of long tears from its eyes out. The old hunter's heart was soft, the trigger hand could not help but loosen a little. There is a common saying in the Tibetan area - the birds flying in the sky and the rats running on the ground are all humane. At this time, the Tibetan antelope knelt down to him naturally begged him to spare his life. He is a hunter, it is reasonable not to be moved by the antelope's pity. His eyes closed, the trigger moved under his finger, the gun sounded, and the antelope fell to the ground. It was still in a kneeling position after falling to the ground, and the two lines of tears in its eyes remained clearly. That day, the old hunter did not slaughter and skin the antelope as he did in the past. In front of his eyes is always the Tibetan antelope to give him kneeling. He was a little strange, why the antelope kneeling? This is the only time in his decades of hunting career to see the scene. Lying on the ground at night he had a long time to sleep, his hands have been trembling ...... The next day, the old hunter with a feeling of anxiety to the antelope open skin, his hands are still trembling. The abdominal cavity opened under the knife blade, he was surprised and screamed out, the hands of the butcher knife bam fell to the ground ...... originally in the Tibetan antelope's womb, quietly lying a small antelope, it has been molded, naturally dead. At this time, the old hunter to understand why the Tibetan antelope body fat and strong, but also to understand why to bend down the bulky body for their own kneeling: it is begging the hunter to leave their children a life ah ......? The kneeling of all loving mothers under heaven is sacred, including animals. The old hunter's evisceration stopped halfway. On that day, he did not go out hunting, dug a pit on the hillside and buried the Tibetan antelope along with its unborn child. From then on, this old hunter disappeared in the grasslands of northern Tibet, no one knows the whereabouts.

1, Yunnan Xishuangbanna Nature Reserve, a female elephant was seriously injured by a Burmese villager with a gun, she endured the pain and brought her nursing child to a village on the Chinese side of the border, and "entrusted" her child to the kind villagers "to raise" (because the baby will only be raised by the villagers). She "entrusted" her baby to the kind-hearted villagers to "raise" it (because baby elephants only eat milk, and without milk, they will surely starve to death), and then she herself died because her blood dried up, and her blood was spilled all the way...

2, a dolphin in the Harbin Aquarium, with an accidental comminuted fracture of the mandible, went so far as to perform for the audience for two days with the injury without the knowledge of her handlers.

One day, tragedy struck when the worker died on the train. Unknown to him, the dog went to the station to pick up his master as usual. Waiting, waiting, late at night, the sky is white, the sun hangs high, the sun sets again, still no master. One day went by, two days went by, three days went by, and the dog still waited motionless on the platform. Some people give it food and drink, it refused, some people want to take it, it did not have any reaction, eyes still looking straight into the distance of the railroad tracks, around the people familiar with the dog know that it is waiting for their own masters obsessively. The dog finally died of hunger and thirst in the waiting position. Its loyalty touched the people around the station, and a statue of it was made on the station platform.
