No matter how busy you are, you still have to suck some cats.
April 28
A slave without a master is not called a slave. The cat slave's first day of unemployment.
Former slave H got up at the usual time, and there was no need to worry about feeding the cat and taking medicine in the morning. The living room was empty and very deserted. Later, she woke me up and complained to me.
"When I got up in the morning, I found that the bathroom door was open. I missed you and left it open. Then I realized that no cats would go to drink the boiled water, so there was no need to close it."
Our hearts are empty and overwhelmed. If abandoned dogs and cats are pitiful, then what about the slaves abandoned by their masters?
In the evening, my schedule app reminded me that it was time to take medicine. I just realized that the "cat phosphorus reduction service", "cat petting time" and "cat diary writing" included in the itinerary were all invalid. But I don’t want to delete it, so I’ll just keep it. Or maybe change these periods to "talking bad about cats", "complaining time", and "writing useless articles".
In the evening, we sat in the living room and ate. The upper level of the cat jumping platform suddenly fell down. Examining the supporting hemp rope posts, we found that the plastic at the joints was brittle. As for whether it fell sooner or later, it just happened to fall now... I think it was because H was shaking when he was in a hurry to pack things yesterday; but H thought it was caused by Xiaobai running away to play.
H's old illness relapsed, and I threatened her that even if she was hospitalized like last time, I would not go to the hospital to see her.

Compared with the chaos last time when Xiaobai was cremated, this time we have experience. So Huahua got a huge gift package, and the number of lotus flowers was three times that of Xiaobai. The whole process is similar to that of Xiaobai, even the amount of powder felt after grinding is similar. After taking it home and placing it with Xiaobai, it was strange to say that it was obviously the same paper can, but Huahua looked taller and more imposing...
Well, it should be because the handkerchief on the bottom of the flower jar is thicker!
In the afternoon, I went to the cat cafe to express my thanks. Stayed there for a while and observed the interaction between the guests and the cats. Most of the time it's the guests' wishful thinking and the cats are themselves. Before leaving, the signature cat came down from the bar and occupied the guest's chair. The occupied guest was very happy and stood beside it and kept taking pictures.
In the early morning, I heard the sound of a cat jumping on a chair in the living room. It must be Xiaobai!
May 2
E's birthday. She still has cats where she lives, so she's not unemployed. Originally, in order to accommodate Hua Baibai, birthday dinners were all arranged at a nearby home. However, this time, we traveled across more than half of Taipei City to reach her. In the name of celebrating a birthday, I actually want to seek comfort from my cat. That's a cat that looks very much like Xiaobai, so let's call it Xiaobai-like! Lei Xiaobai's fate was a bit bumpy, so much so that he suffered from severe separation anxiety. However, he would hide in fear when seeing strangers.
We came prepared, so we got a little favor from the cat, but we still got a warning bite from Xiaobai.

Hua Hua Tou Qi, but no one dreams about her.
May 4
Because I was worried about Huahua, I made a special trip at noon to pay homage to Lord Tiger. In the early morning, I had Huahua in my dream, but when I woke up, all the details were unclear.
For Sunday's tree burial, plastic fences and house-shaped nameplates were prepared.
May 5
Finally, I sorted out the photos spanning 12 years and selected Xiaobai's photo candidates. The conditions were: heyday (fat) period, frontal, sober, and not funny. So, find 27 pictures.
The reaction in the group was: suddenly a lot of normal noobs appeared.
As for Huahua, 57 pictures were selected based on the same criteria. When Huahua was completely fat (?), she couldn't see her back feet when she was sitting. So, there was a series of photos that were post-processed and added "Huahua, where are your back feet?". E said that it was the only one that supported this series, but the one I liked the most, H felt that the image quality was insufficient. In the end, there was no consensus on Huahua’s photo.
However, after taking a long time to choose, I was shot by the owner of the tree burial park, and finally I chose a group photo that looked very peaceful.

Today is the day scheduled to be buried. Unexpectedly, it rained all the way. It rained heavily in Central Taiwan, which rarely rains. Therefore, the park suspended burials that day. When we received the notice, we had already switched from high-speed rail to train. In the end, we could only store the two cats in the park until the weather was better before burying them. We chose a small hinoki cypress. The color of the tree is very strange, some blue and green. Most of the neighbors (?) are dogs, and there is a cat that barely lives in the back.
I sent Hua Hua Bai Bai away and went to H's hometown to harass the cat, but he was actually tricked.
May 8
Google Photos is a bit annoying. In the morning, I selected 16 Huahua photos to make a video.
H said that he had registered two cats for the 100-day Dharma Ceremony. H originally thought it was referring to the ceremony for a hundred days after death, but it turned out that they would be asked to listen to the chanting for hundreds of days. Among them, a mage would come to personally recite a section every Wednesday...
"Normally we are not allowed to remember them, but what happens now..."

Several cat-related reviews popped up on Facebook.

Google and Facebook kept reminding me of the good times I had, and I was a little annoyed, but I couldn't help but want to see the past that these people involved couldn't remember.

The park said they would complete the burial for us on May 12th.
May 11
Today, Google Photos made another video, in which there are 16 Huahua and one Xiaobai. The photo of Xiaobai and Huahua was taken together. So, H said that I was biased, so biased that even Google knew about it...
May 12
The videos and photos of the burial kind of freaked us out. Although I chose tree burial, I never thought that Huahua and Baibai would have a "you are in the mud, I am in the mud"! However, the fences and small standing signs we carefully selected are very cute and the effect is better than imagined.
It feels strange to have a paper hut burning down, but will the money there really not suffer from serious inflation? Just burn it and it’s tens of millions...
Hua Hua Bai Bai was finally buried, and everything was really over.
Although I always felt that I was having a long nightmare.
May 13
In the early morning, I dreamed about Huahua.
Former slave H and I were sitting in the living room and heard Huahua snoring. The two reminded each other not to disturb Huahua and watched from a distance. Huahua was on the floor at the other end of the living room, leaning against the legs of the low table, turning her stomach. It was a bit far away and she couldn't see clearly.
I dreamed of Huahua twice, and it was always hazy, and I don’t know if there was any reason for it.
In short, she seemed to be sleeping soundly in the dream.
fair enough.

In the future, if we are destined, we will meet again!
