Chapter 13

For Sea King, sleeping is also an art of balancing.

After all, both of Sea King‘s bodyguards want to sleep with him and at the same time want to be the only one. This becomes a bit tricky since there is no one “only” around Sea King.

Bai Chengcheng was lying on the Lion Cat’s back. The Lion Cat, with a strong sense of possessiveness, took Cotton Ball up to one of the bedrooms on the second floor and quickly tried to shut the door.

As long as he closed the door fast enough, no other competitors could catch up with Cotton Ball!

As soon as the Lion Cat entered, his long tail swung, pushing the door to close. However, just as the door was about to shut, the Forest Cat, carrying a small cat cushion in its mouth, dashed into the room.

Lion Cat: “……”

Damn it.

The Lion Cat glared at the Forest Cat, who had intruded into his territory.

The Forest Cat had fought with the Lion Cat all day, and by now, it had no good feelings toward him. It completely ignored the Lion Cat.

With the flower-shaped cushion in its mouth, the Forest Cat “meowed” a few times at Cotton Ball, who was dozing off on the Lion Cat’s back.

Cotton Ball lifted his head, saw the cushion in the Forest Cat’s mouth, and his eyes lit up: “Meow?”

(Oh, is this for me? Oh, Big Fatty, you’re such a good bro!)

Bai Chengcheng jumped down from the Lion Cat’s back, and the Forest Cat immediately and attentively placed the cushion on the expensive plush carpet.

The Lion Cat stood there, watching the Forest Cat shamelessly march into his territory and lie next to Cotton Ball. With its round body and thick fur, it was almost enveloping the tiny Cotton Ball in its arms.

The Lion Cat stood still, glaring fiercely at the Forest Cat, even unsheathing his sharp claws. If the Forest Cat didn’t back off, he might just take care of him right there!

Even the viewers in the live stream could feel the Lion Cat’s anger.

【He barged into your room, slept with your wife, and you’re still putting up with it? Come on, man, you’ve got to stand up for yourself!!!】

【But the Forest Cat is so cute, and they look so good together with Cotton Ball. Can’t we have both??? Rolling cats gif.】

【If you’re going to fight, at least take it outside. Don’t disturb our baby’s sleep.】

【They won’t fight. They need to maintain their image in front of Cotton Ball.】

Just when everyone thought a battle was imminent, Bai Chengcheng, who had already closed his eyes, suddenly opened them again. He groggily looked at the Lion Cat standing by the door, a bit confused: “Meow?”

What’s he doing standing there? Why isn’t he sleeping yet?

Didn’t he work all day? Shouldn’t cats love to sleep?

The Lion Cat, hearing this soft, affectionate “meow,” felt his anger completely dissipate.

He helplessly glanced at the sleepy Cotton Ball and then at the Forest Cat, already lying down beside Cotton Ball, also dozing off.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that in this love triangle-like war, he was the only one truly involved…

Hmm, isn’t this a bit off?

The Lion Cat looked at Cotton Ball, who was already dozing off, and as he watched, his heart softened. After a while, he helplessly flicked his tail and lay down on the other side of Cotton Ball.

He couldn’t stand the sight of the Forest Cat’s tail behind Cotton Ball, so he flicked his long tail over and pushed the Forest Cat’s tail away, then wrapped his own tail around Cotton Ball before finally closing his eyes.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned:

【Sisters! Is this really the Forest Cat and the Lion Cat with such strong territorial instincts?】

【Lol, they’ve been glaring at each other all day, and now, because of Cotton Ball, they’re compromising.】

【This situation makes me have a bold idea! Right now, Cotton Ball has cats on both sides. When he turns human…】

【Hhhhh when he turns human, will there be one in the front and one in the back…?】

【Sis, why don’t you elaborate? I have a friend who wants to hear more.】

【If it’s really a threesome, considering how much the Forest Cat and the Lion Cat dislike each other, when they all do it, wouldn’t Cotton Ball be in a very tough spot? At that time, his sweet talk probably won’t help.】

【Damn it, the ‘two-faced CP’ also wants to join in! Maine Coon, come here, your wife is gone! Cat roar gif.】

After sleeping soundly with his left and right bodyguards, Bai Chengcheng woke up the next day and found that the Forest Cat and the Lion Cat were already gone.

He stretched, yawned, and lazily walked out of the bedroom.

He woke up late, and when he went downstairs, he happened to meet the Maine Coon and the Siamese Cat coming up from the basement together.

The basement was a gym, Bai Chengcheng had checked it out, but he didn’t think the cats were down there to work out. Was it possible that the Maine Coon liked mature women?

Bai Chengcheng suddenly realized, glancing at the Maine Coon, then at the Siamese Cat beside him, his expression full of gossip.

Maine Coon: “……”

Bai Chengcheng went straight to the dining room, where the Forest Cat had already prepared food for him.

The two cats happily began eating together.

Bai Chengcheng ate while playfully meowing to the Forest Cat: “Big Fatty, you’re my chef from now on, work hard!”

The Forest Cat nodded excitedly while munching on dried fish.

Bai Chengcheng thought to himself, now that he had a mount and a chef, even without a litter box cleaner, life was pretty good.

At this moment, the Lion Cat, who had gone for early training in the forest, finally returned.

As soon as he entered, he saw Cotton Ball, who was sitting on the table eating fish sashimi. His irritation immediately melted away. Holding a small white, fluffy object in his mouth, he gracefully jumped onto the chair and gently tapped Bai Chengcheng with his tail.

Whether it was intentional or not, his tail just happened to hit Bai Chengcheng’s bottom. Bai Chengcheng, who had fish in his mouth, turned around and saw a little white hamster gently placed on the table by the Lion Cat.

The Lion Cat had originally planned to catch a rabbit, but considering Cotton Ball’s small size, he wasn’t sure if he would be walking the rabbit or if the rabbit would be walking him, so he gave up and brought back a little hamster instead.

The hamster was tiny, soft, and very cute. Its paws and nose were pink, and its round eyes resembled Cotton Ball’s.

Bai Chengcheng was stunned. He looked down at the timid little hamster, then looked up at the Lion Cat.

The Lion Cat’s eyes were gentle as he pointed to the hamster, indicating that it was for Cotton Ball and wanted to know if he liked it.

However, once Bai Chengcheng realized that the hamster was meant for him, he immediately jumped up in panic, his eyes filled with accusation and fear, and he meowed several times at the Lion Cat.

(You jerk! The hamster is so cute, why would you want to eat it?!)

Lion Cat: “???”

Bai Chengcheng was almost scared to death by the hamster.

When he was human, this hamster was no bigger than his fist.

But now, as a cat, the hamster was about as big as his face!

How could he eat that?

How could he bring himself to do it?!

The Lion Cat was terrible. He must have brought the hamster to scare him!

Bai Chengcheng’s fur stood on end, and his eyes were filled with terror. In a panic, he leaped off the table without thinking. In his haste and with his short legs, he scrambled and struggled for a while, before finally falling to the floor with a loud “thud.”

The Forest Cat, not reacting in time, was completely drenched in the spilled sauce from the fall.

Forest Cat: “???”

Lion Cat: “……”

Live stream viewers:

【Lol, the Lion Cat just wanted to catch a pet to please his wife, and now his wife is scared of the hamster.】

【The worst off is the Forest Cat. He hasn’t even eaten yet, and now he has to go wash up.】

【Cats hate baths. The Forest Cat is probably going to have to fight the Lion Cat now.】

【Maine Coon is the smartest. He’s just sitting back and watching, so he won’t get involved.】

—

The dining table was long and spacious. The Maine Coon sat in the corner eating, while the Siamese Cat was always clinging to the Golden British Shorthair. The shy Ragdoll Cat and the clever, mischievous Persian Chinchilla got along well.

At this moment, they all perked up their ears, raised their upper bodies, and looked in surprise at Bai Chengcheng, who had fallen to the ground.

The little short-legged Golden British Shorthair saw the fluffy white hamster and his eyes lit up. She immediately pounced toward it, but halfway there, the Siamese Cat grabbed her tail and dragged her away.

The Lion Cat jumped off the table to check on Cotton Ball, worried that he might have hurt himself from the fall. However, Cotton Ball shot him a glare, quickly scrambled his feet, and ran off.

Lion Cat: “……”

Lion Cat instantly felt a coldness in his heart.

He just wanted to please Cotton Ball and make him happy, but who could have known that Cotton Ball was afraid of hamsters?

If he had known earlier, he would have just caught a rabbit instead.

Rabbits were definitely cuter than hamsters.

The Lion Cat felt disappointed, and with no appetite for breakfast, he sat on the couch. He wasn’t one of those young ones who would give up easily after encountering a setback.

He was now thinking about how he could gather more information about Cotton Ball and cater to his preferences.

Cotton Ball got along well with everyone now, clearly not having chosen the cat that made his heart flutter yet. The Lion Cat had to act first—he needed to catch him before any other cat Cotton Ball might like did.

Bai Chengcheng ran up to the second floor. The Forest Cat didn’t know what was going on, but he was covered in sauce and felt uncomfortable, so he followed up to the second floor to take a bath.

The Cat Paradise was managed by fully intelligent AI robots, and the bathroom had a robot that helped with bathing. All the cat had to do was enter, press the button for a full-body cleaning command, and they could enjoy a whole series of services like bathing, drying, and grooming.

However, Bai Chengcheng didn’t know about this.

After arriving on the second floor and confirming that the Lion Cat wouldn’t bring the hamster to him to eat, he finally sighed in relief and squatted down to rest in the hallway with carpeted floors.

Being a cat was hard, this was something he hadn’t anticipated.

Fortunately, the Forest Cat, as a chef, had similar tastes to him, bringing him fish and fresh beef, not hamster meat. Otherwise, he would have passed out.
