Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A thorough analysis of Vladimir’s insights had opened the eyes of stray cats––especially the discussion of seeking unity through struggle, which made them feel a deep sense of awe. They started to look at things with deep admiration and worship.

As a daring vanguard, Big Orange could not sit still. He wanted to go to the dog market and teach Vladimir’s teachings the stray dogs who always fought for territory and food with stray cats. Vladimir, however, made them calm down a little and then asked the grey and white, soft-eared cat about the number of stray dogs near the dog market.

The gray and white, soft-eared cat did not know how to express the concept of quantity. It paced around in circles several times on the spot before it finally came up with a way to put one paw on the ground and then concentrate its other three paws on another spot.

“You’re saying… there are more local stray dogs than stray cats?” Vladimir asked in a low voice.

The gray and white, soft-eared cat nodded.

It was not surprising. The dog market was a comprehensive pet vendor, but most of the animals sold in it were dogs. Wave after wave of law enforcement inspections of the dog market forced some vendors to become wary of being caught. They simply threw away the trafficked dogs and ran away, even though if they were caught, there was no evidence.

Previously, of portion of the dogs that had run away from Love Lovely Pet Breeding Base did not meet the right owners. After smelling the same kind of scent, they also gathered near the dog market. After all, dogs were naturally social animals.

Gradually, there were more and more stray dogs around the dog market, which had attracted the attention of the relevant departments. However, that was the area that was between the city and the countryside, and it was the area under no one’s jurisdiction. There was no good way to solve the problem.

Vladimir thought for a long time and said, “There are clouds in military tactics: the tenth is encirclements, while the fifth is to attack and double it for war. The number of stray dogs is so large that we can’t underestimate their combat effectiveness. We can’t act rashly and fight unprepared battles!”

Its eyes swept across the faces of the stray cats one by one. “In the recent days, you have organized the stray cats under your leadership to conduct small-scale combat training, and you have achieved excellent results. Next, everyone can mobilize a group of frontline members in your respective Meow Meow Branch Organization, and bring a large number of young and strong stray cats to the dog market on Sunday. We can then get good positioning and circle to attack!”

Vladimir still carried out the principle of strategically despising the enemy. It attached importance to the enemy tactically and arranged tasks in an orderly manner. The stray cats all nodded their heads and remembered its words at heart. They planned to organize it after they went back.

“You all don’t need to just listen, you can also come up with your own opinions and suggestions. Three stinky cobblers are worth a Zhuge Liang!” Vladimir encouraged them to take full advantage of their ability to state their opinions, but the requirement was too high for them at present.

The earless black cat from the Phoenix Bird Housing Estate spit its tongue out in imitation of a dog. It meant to ask what they should do with the stray dogs after they defeated them.

The earless black cat had been sterilized by animal protection organizations. It was a little older and loved to keep the peace. It was not as hot-tempered as Big Orange. Although the plan to crack down on the arrogance of the stray dogs was finalized, it was worried about the fate of stray dogs.

Big Orange heavily swept its paw on the floor, meaning to say that they would sweep the stray dogs out and make them leave the vicinity of the dog market.

“No, Big Orange, have you forgotten? Driving out the stray dogs is not our goal. Dogs have advantages beyond cats. We need the help of the stray dogs. We should withdraw after the battle, regardless of the gains and losses of one city and one pool. Let them know how strong they are, avoid deepening contradictions, and lay a foundation for future cooperation.”

Vladimir looked at the black cat without ears and said, “Our principle is to give ‘good treatment to prisoners and to not kill them with claws’. We should allow stray dogs to surrender, and after surrendering, we should entertain them with drinks and food. Blackie, you can take charge of the relevant things.”

The black cat without ears nodded in agreement.

Big Orange was indignant and patted its stomach. It meant that stray cats were often not full. Why should they give the captured stray dogs good food and drinks?

“Don’t be so petty! Big Orange, if you have the capacity for dogs, your belly can support a boat! As far as I know, stray cats are often fed by people, and life is much better than that of stray dogs,” Vladimir said with a smile.

It knew that Big Orange couldn’t rid itself of the shackles of its consciousness for the time being. It had a short-sighted view and it was safe with small riches. It believed that the purpose of the struggle was to eat well and to a have a safe place to sleep. That was all. It was no wonder that Big Orange took time to accept the baptism of new ideas. No one was born with a global vision and a world in mind… Except for Vladimir.

“This little devil ate at least three cans of cat food tonight. If it were a stray dog instead, it might have eaten so much that it made itself lethargic.” Vladimir pushed the yellow and white kitten in front of everybody as an example.

The yellow and white kitten burped at just the right time.

The fact was that when one saw a stray cat or an ownerless cat in the street, many people, especially girls, would happily feed them. In some communities, middle-aged aunts fed stray cats every day, but how many people would feed stray dogs? People were afraid that stray dogs would bite people, so they had always avoided them.

Big Orange was speechless. The fact that Vladimir had praised its ability to prop a boat on its big orange belly made it very happy. It decisively decided to eat until it had a bigger belly…

After doing its job of changing Big Orange’s thinking, Vladimir waved its paw forcefully and added, “Of course, if we encounter vicious dogs, we must resolutely fight them and let them die without surrender! Otherwise, it is a great threat to the stray cat and the local human beings!”

The black cat without ears did not raise any objection. Everyone knew that dogs were the greatest threat to human beings and stray cats. It was difficult to distinguish between dogs without ropes and mad dogs. When one met a biting dog, they didn’t know whether it was caused by bad nature or a rabies infection.

The gray and white, soft-eared cat made a gesture of attacking and biting, which meant that there had been many incidents in the vicinity of the dog market where stray dogs bit old people and children and had even killed several cats. The young and strong stray cats survived because of their flexible nature.

Relevant departments had sent teams to combat the issue, but the dogs had gained so much experience that they had mastered some of the knacks of guerrilla warfare. They always fought against the teams with bravery and intellect. They always ran away as soon as the teams came back, which caused the local residents some headaches.

The gray and white, soft-eared cat said it would scout near the dog market over the next few days in order to locate where the evil stray dogs often appeared.

Big Orange was full of righteousness and indignation, while Vladimir sneered at the words and said, “It’s not easy for an ant to extend its powers to form a great country. How could it be easy for a bad dog to shake a cat? On this expedition, we must wipe out all these dogs!”

The stray cats were in high spirits and one after another, they were prepared to fight!
