As the whole world was reacting to Zhao Yao’s actions, Matcha brought Milk Tea back to his home.
At the estate entrance Matcha asked, “Is this the place?”
Milk Tea nodded and shouted to an old cat, “Greetings Elderly Wang, did you see my mummy come back?”
The old cat was sprawled casually on the wall of the estate entrance. He opened his eyes, glanced at both Milk Tea and Matcha and said, “Little Milk Tea, you have returned with your scumbag daddy?”
“I…” Matcha thought, “If you weren’t this old, I would have beaten you to death.”
Milk Tea nodded and said, “What about my mum? Did she come back?”
The old cat shook his head and sighed at Milk Tea. “She didn’t come back.”
“Oh.” Milk Tea lowered his head dejectedly and brought Matcha into the estate.
The little kitten was temperamental and he forgot his sadness in a short while. He circled around Matcha excitedly.
He pointed to a few plastic containers in a flower bed and said, “Look Brother Matcha, that is my place for my meals. My mum said that food descended from the sky every day for me to eat. If I was late, the food would be eaten by other cats so I had to be early.”
Matcha looked at the contents of the containers and observed that it was the unwanted food scraps thrown out by the humans. There was barely any cat food. Seeing Milk Tea’s merry face, he didn’t tell him the truth but just nodded.
They came to the deep end of a green belt and saw several torn cartons.
Milk Tea said happily, “Brother Matcha, I have arrived. This is my home!” He squirmed into the cartons and made scratching and rolling sounds inside.
Cats were nostalgic in nature, especially little kittens. They were very attached to the dwellings where they grew up.
Matcha looked at the dirty dwelling and frowned. The place stank of strong cat urine, an indication of a cat’s territorial boundary.
“There must be many stray cats around to use such a primitive method for marking boundary.” Matcha shook his head in disapproval.
Milk Tea’s head emerged from the paper carton and looked in anticipation at Matcha. “Brother Matcha, would you like to come in to play?”
“This is preposterous. The paper carton is dirty and stinky. I would have thrown it away.” Seeing his luminous big eyes, Matcha nodded despite himself. “Well…”
In the paper carton, a series of stenches invaded his nostrils and Matcha frowned. He saw Milk Tea scratching his claws on a scratching board incessantly.
Milk Tea was happy to see Matcha and introduced it to him, “Look Brother Matcha, this is a cat scratching board! If I scratch on it, my claws will not feel itchy and it is very comfortable. My mum stole it from outside with great effort.”
“This cat hasn’t seen a cat scratching board before? Zhao Yao buys a few hundred every month.” Matcha swept the scratching board away and frowned as he thought. “The scratching board is worn out. I would have thrown it out long ago.”
Seeing Milk Tea’s anticipation, Matcha grinned wryly and said, “Well, it is pretty good.” He asked, “What is your mum’s superpower? And what is your superpower?”
He thought, “They are quite poor. I think their superpowers will be very weak, perhaps on par with normal cats.”
“Superpower?” Milk Tea shook his head and said, “I don’t know. My mum didn’t say such things to me.”
“Never heard of this before?” Matcha was puzzled. “What special ability do you have? The one that you can do but other cats can’t.”
“What other cats can’t do?” Milk Tea tilted his head and thought. He turned abruptly and aimed his buttocks at Matcha. “Look here Brother Matcha.”
Matcha’s eyelid twitched and he thought, “Is his ability the same as Yellow Mud and related to excretion?”
Milk Tea jiggled his buttocks and said, “Look Brother Matcha, my left and right buttocks can shake, are you able to do it?”
“Trash.” Matcha slapped his buttocks and said, “Enough, I understand. Stop shaking.”
Milk Tea licked himself with pride and said, “I discovered it unknowingly.”
Matcha rolled his eyes and searched for evidence of his mum but in vain.
“This is trouble, where did the female cat go? If she doesn’t come back, I will not be able to clear my name?”
At this moment, Milk Tea rubbed his head against Matcha.
Matcha turned his head to look at Milk Tea and said impatiently, “Why are you rubbing me? Didn’t I tell you not to?”
Milk Tea rubbed his head against Matcha and lifted his white paws, touching his head. “Can you lick me?”
Matcha frowned and said, “What is there to lick?”
Milk Tea looked at the nearby tree and Matcha and said, “Other kittens are licked by bigger cats.”
“Huh?” Matcha looked at the base of the tree that Milk Tea was gazing and saw two Dragon Li cats. The big cat was licking the small cat.
“Those were uncultured stray cats. We supercats do not believe in such things.” Matcha said impatiently, “You will lick yourself in the future.”
“Oh…”
Seeing his droopy and dispirited tail, Matcha hesitated and sighed reluctantly. “Okay, okay, I will lick your head.”
“Yay!” The orange kitten lifted his head and rubbed against Matcha’s chest. Matcha rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and started licking Milk Tea’s head.
The licking was so comfortable that Milk Tea squinted his eyes and purred softly.
Matcha was pondering as he licked Milk Tea. “His mum belongs to the category of cats with no superpower and she is poor so she couldn’t have gone far. I may be able to find her after a brief search.”
Matcha’s eyes brightened as he looked at Milk Tea and said, “Hey Milk Tea, bring me to the places that your mum frequents. Does your mum know other supercats? Bring me to see them too.”
Milk Tea nodded and brought Matcha to visit the nearby estates in search of his mum.
