The white cat nodded, then meowed again, this time with a clear warning tone, its body slightly retreating.
Almost at the instant the white cat finished meowing, the nearby bushes suddenly shook, and a shadow sprang out.
Indeed, it was Bai Bufan, a dog that resembled a Chinese stray dog mix, its fur hard to discern in the dark, of medium build.
The dog initially intended to bare its teeth at the cats provoking it, but upon seeing a person alongside the three cats, it froze, then immediately turned and ran. It stopped only after reaching a distance it deemed safe.
"Hello, can I talk to you?" Lin Li called out to it.
The dog didn't react particularly strangely, it merely retreated another step.
It seemed it didn't understand what he was saying,
"Can you guys communicate with it verbally?" Lin Li looked down at the three cats, "Or is it just based on habit and tone, like how you treat humans?"
Shaking their heads and then nodding, apparently it was the latter.
