The calico cat looked scrawny. Its fur, soaked by the rain, clung to its body, making it seem even more skeletal.
It looked like a stray.
Hua Manman felt for her pouch and pulled out two chestnut cakes.
She slowly walked toward the calico cat, intending to feed it.
Normally, stray cats are very wary of humans.
But not only was this calico cat not scared off by Manman, it even stood up and walked right up to her.
The calico cat walked up to her, tilted its small head up, and stared at her without blinking.
Hua Manman bent down and offered it a chestnut cake.
The moment the calico cat saw the food, its eyes lit up.
It bit into the chestnut cake without hesitation and devoured it ravenously.
Hua Manman seized the chance to reach out and give its little head a good pat.
'The little kitty felt nice to the touch, just a bit too thin.'
The calico cat licked its mouth, then its paws, before looking up at the person in front of it again and letting out a meow.
