What kind of story is behind this small program? What kind of life does the stray cat of Peking University live? The reporter recently interviewed Fan Hanyun, president of Peking University Student Stray Cat Care Association, who is currently in his junior year.
A small program to record the life of stray cats
The popularity of this small program comes from a Weibo. On April 16, a netizen posted a screenshot of the applet named "Beida Cat Kitbook" on the Internet and introduced "the applet to take photos of each cat and list them on the campus cat information".
The reporter noted that nearly 100 cats were recorded in the mini-program. This includes the name, coat color, gender, health status, sterilization, and even the specific "personality" of each cat, the relationship with other cats, etc.

For example, a cat named "Dawei" has the character "can keep touching while eating"; a cat named "Mofang" is "afraid of people, within a safe distance of 1m"; "Mangosteen" is also "afraid of people", And "getting away" with a cat named "Big Brother" ...
In addition, the small program also divides the stray cats on record into four categories: "at school", "graduation", "suspended school", and "meow star". Among them, "Graduation" representatives have been adopted, "Suspension" means that they have not been seen for a long time.
Once the popularity of the Peking University teaching network collapsed
For this popularity, Fan Hanyun, the president of Peking University Student Stray Cat Care Association, still feels a little surprised so far, "Everyone didn't expect it."
He didn't know how he received so much attention at once. However, Fan Hanyun speculates that everyone is so interested in it, which may also be caused by some previous incidents related to pets and other pets. "In addition, our small program is indeed relatively new, and there are some small stories, such as the relationship between various cats, which may also be more attractive."

After the unexpected popularity on April 16, Peking University's teaching network even collapsed.
Fan Hanyun told reporters, "Because the pictures in the small program need to be placed on a certain server, the students of our association chose the server of the school teaching network at the beginning."
"Because the server itself is connected to the school's teaching network, if the traffic is too large, the server will not be able to bear it. Not only can the small program not enter, but our teaching network will not be able to enter. The result is that At that time, there was a little problem with the server. We were afraid of affecting the normal teaching order of everyone, and turned off the small program at that time. "
Fan Hanyun had to find another "spending server". After an afternoon of emergency repairs and audits, on the evening of the 16th, the Peking University Cat Book Mini Program was back online.

"We not only feed cats"
In fact, the idea of "customizing a small program for stray cats" began in 2019. Prior to this, the association only summarized the information of stray cats on campus with an excel form.
Fan Hanyun introduced, "The idea of making this information into a small program was proposed by a student of our association, and then he made it himself; the other students of the association helped complete the content together. At that time, we mainly hoped to help through this small program The students of the association are more familiar with these stray cats on campus. "
As of September 2019, the applet has been launched. "At the beginning, only the most basic information such as the photo, name, and gender of the cat. The follow-up is what you think of, and it is slowly added, and finally the current interface is formed."

Hundreds of people in the association regularly and regularly feed stray cats on campus every day.
After this "out of the circle", many friends came to ask if they could promote this small program to other regions. Peking University Student Stray Cat Care Association said through Weibo that the small program has been marked as open source, and all programs are open for free. Any individual or group can use it for free to build their own stray rescue manual.
However, Fan Hanyun admitted that "feeding cats" is not the whole work of the association.
"We have classmates who are responsible for finding homes and adopting stray cats in schools and reviewing the qualifications of adopters; we also have classmates who take care of injured and sick cats for medical treatment. Cats without sterilization are also arrested by them and sent to the hospital for treatment Sterilization; there are also students who are specifically responsible for network platform operations, photography, etc. "

Are Peking University stray cats happy?
Although every day's work revolves around stray cats, but this little program writes such a sentence-stray is not the home of cats, Peking University is not a stray cat's paradise.
Fan Hanyun said, "If a cat has become a stray cat, maybe after it enters the Peking University campus, we will do our best to provide relatively better living conditions. But this does not mean that the stray thing itself is reasonable. Stray animals The most fundamental source is humans' abandonment of pets, and then they will reproduce to produce offspring. "
In fact, even the stray cats on Peking University's campus are not as happy as many people think.
A former president of Peking University Stray Cat Care Association admitted on Weibo, "Most of the new stray cats who have spent the first winter in the wild can't survive the first year of winter. They can't find a place to warm up and find no energy Where you are hiding, you will not learn how to avoid vehicles, and you will not be able to hide in warm machines. There are too many dangers. "

Fan Hanyun also confirmed to reporters that although he has not counted the specific situation of stray cats overwintering, in the past three years, he has seen at least double digits on the campus for stray cats that have died for various reasons.
He said that although the popularity of the "Beida Cat Kitbook" made the students happy, it also caused such a concern-some people will see this information and think that Peking University is a very suitable environment for stray cats. Abandoned to campus, "this kind of thing has happened before."
"The fact that a cat becomes a stray cat is not happy in itself." Fan Hanyun feels that the reason for this stray situation is because he is not responsible for pets. As the owner, if you want to be responsible for pets in the end, the correct way is to find a better family for pets, rather than abandon it. (Finish)
