Gong San Sung, an ancient mountain fortress
Is located in Gongju city, Korea
Built with earth and stone
A cat lives inside
Doesn't even move when we approach her closely
When people pass by
The cat doesn't really care
The cat is different from your typical stray cat
But..
The cat lost one leg
Perhaps she couldn't move due to her disability
But then
A kitten comes out from under the castle
After hearing the three-legged cat's crying
4 kittens come outside
She hid her kittens under the castle
Soon after sensing the people's movement
The kittens hide inside
Kittens are still afraid of the outside world
Such an amazing mother cat who takes care of her kittens despite her injured leg
The castle is located on top of the mountain fortress
How come this mother cat with a disability
Gave birth to kittens, and looked after them in such a place like this
Since it's a historical site, there are a few houses nearby and people rarely pass by
There must be not enough food
I also wonder what they've eaten
I mean it must be hard for her to hunt with her 3 legs
There are no people who can feed them or water they can drink
on the top of the mountain fortress
To feed the cat family who must've starved
Prepares cat food and pet milk
The mother cat hurriedly eats food
But..
As soon as the kittens come out
The mother cat moves out of the way
Perhaps they're not familiar with the food they've never tasted before
Turns their back at it
Eventually, the mother cat breastfeeds them instead
The mother cat must be hungry
But takes care of her kittens first
She's very familiar with people's touch
Unlike common stray cats
Stray cats usually don't follow people, and avoid them
Seeing that she follows people well,
I think she has someone who looks after her
A residential area near the fortress
Perhaps someone from here has been taking care of the cat family?
I haven't seen this cat before
Especially the one with a disability in her leg
I haven't seen this cat
I've never seen this one
If the cat's been strolling around the village with her injured leg
Someone must have noticed her
But no one knows the three-legged cat
Someone might have abandoned her due to the disability in her leg
I think she's abandoned by her owner
After being abandoned, she gave birth to kittens
And lives on her own
on top of the fortress
Someone might have abandoned her when she was pregnant
And the mother cat who was left alone
gave birth alone in this place
Perhaps the reason why she misses people's touch is
because she was abandoned before..
When the kittens fall asleep
The mother cat comes outside
And acts charming to people
But
Soon after hearing her kittens' crying
She goes under the castle again
Wonder how she's survived through this lonely place where there's no food..
A vet visits the site
Is it okay for them to live here?
Vet/ Cats with wild instincts who have kittens
Run away even after hearing footsteps
Very wary of human touch
But she's not wary at all
Perhaps with her friendly personality,
she could get food from tourists
Vet/ The kittens need to learn from the mother cat
Like how to hunt for food.
There are many other things
But they can't do anything I mentioned in this place
Once she stops breastfeeding her kittens
It'll be hard for them to find food on the top of the mountain
Such a bad condition for the cat family with the three-legged mother cat
Before it's too late
Rescue the cat family asap
As soon as the mother cat comes out
The kittens follow her
Perhaps a cage looks strange to them
They hesitate to go inside
At that moment
After one kitten goes inside
The others go inside the cage, one by one
All four kittens are safely rescued!
Also, rescue the mother cat who follows people easily
Before their new life begins
Checks their health condition
How's their health?
Vet/ Seems like the mother cat took good care of all the kittens despite her disability
Two of each gender
They're in good health even though they were raised on the street
Wonder how's the health of the mother cat,
who's been taking good care of her kittens despite her disability
The left leg which seems to be cut off..
Vet/ Her leg was cut off a while ago
The scar is healed already, so no additional treatments are needed
Thankfully, she's healed with no infection, but..
Vet/ She must have felt severe pain
Even when your skin is cut off, it's painful
Imagine that your bone is cut off.. Must be really painful
She must have gone through a hard time due to the pain
Couldn't eat properly
With the disability
She strolled around the street
But still did her best to protect her unborn kittens..
Poor mother cat..
Vet/ I'm not sure if she was abandoned after the injury
or she was hurt after she was abandoned
But I can say that she has strong maternal love
Because she raised her kittens so well despite her disability
Since she had to protect 4 siblings
She must have been always anxious on the street
From now on
Hope she has a happy, dreamy life with her kittens together <3
