The very last story of Maknae and Kangmu
Under the warm spring sunlight, feeling drowsy
This kitty's fully enjoying the air of spring
Who did this!!!!?! Huh?!
What should I do with you guys.. What am I gonna do!
Lady: Aigo.. Life feels tough nowadays
Come on in~ / PD: Yeah yeah hahaha
Lady: Kangmu~ Aigo~
Ladie and gents, Haven't forgotten about Kangmu, who came out just a week before, huh..?
PD: You really are Kangmu? You are? / Lady: Tell him~ 'Yes~ I'm Kangmu~'
PD: Woah, she was this tiny back then..!
It's already passed a year since we first met Kangmu
After a stray cat, 'Maknae', who then was taken care of by the lady gave birth,
she faced an issue with her hind legs, in which she'd put her kittens hidden somewhere safe and hid as if she's given up her life too
Yet thankfully, mother 'Maknae' and her kittens were safely rescued and were able to live altogether..
And the one who was rescued first and has been under the couple's care first was this one, 'Kangmu'
Whom was born tiny and frail and we worried the most, has grown into a beautiful young lady
Lady: She was this big. We put her on our palms and talked about whether she'd be able to live or not..
Though Kangmu who used to be the weakest one out of all grew up this well.. another concern came up to her mind
Lady: Don't know whether I should be happy or be crying when I say this.. but I change my mind twelve times a day, happy to sad, bad to good..
Follow me, please. There's a thing that'll shook you
As a bedroom door's opened..
I mean.. who.. who are these..?
Lady: This one's Yeppi. Awww yo cute lil thing
Lady: This one's Meokbo
Lady: Sooyoung!
There are six newbies in total who weren't living in the lady's home back when we were here for filming
PD: Who are these kitties by the way? / Lady: They're Maknae's little babies
PD: They're Maknae's? / Lady: Yeah..
So it means, Maknae has newly given birth to these babies tho..??
Lady: Maknae and Kangmu were alright at home, they had a life together. But as you know, Maknae hasn't got neutered yet..
She used to sit by the windowsill and cried all day facing outside..
So we were like 'Oh god this can't go on like this.' and decided to get her neutered. yet we found Maknae outside one day,
opened the door herself and walked outside
PD: Waht she opened the door? / Lady: Yeah! Never knew a cat can open the door like that
PD: Ah, you mean she opened this door? / Lady: Yeah.. opened it up like this.. only this much.
I found this was slid open this much
By the time she came back after the escape, she was already pregnant..
So that means, 6 Maknae's newly born kittens (born about 7 months ago) have been staying in her house
Yet.. why can't we find Maknae anywhere? When she's supposed to be taking care of her own babies?
Lady: She's got ill all of the sudden.. She was all low-spirited in the corner there.
So I took her to the hospital and they said, she's in a severe stage of stomach bug and almost hopeless to expect her recovery...
So Maknae has left this world, as she wasn't able to recover after the delivery..
Though she's gone, left all her kittens behind, there's something extraordinary happened
Lady: After Maknae passed, Kangmu went straight to fill the void..
She was licking the bottom, and did everything her mother had done for her to the kitten.. without a moment of hesitation
Thanks to Kangmu's efforts, all six baby siblings can't be more healthy in the absence of their mother
Yet there's one thing that worries the lady the most..
They are just 'too' healthy
Lady: It's only a beginning, they're gonna.. They're just beginning to act out..
They run from her to there like rushing fast, and again, from there to here
Lady: AIGO!!! Y'ALL DID IT AGAIN!!! KNOCKED THEM DOWN!!
PD: Woah, they really did knock down the flower pots?
Lady: Ah, they just completely..! This ain't the first, second time.. seriously!!
Lady: Gahd, they're doing it again, look!! Phew.. they make holes in it and eat through there!!
Even while they're getting scolded, they are all busy eating..
Why is he tho..
Lady: Koko, NO!! NO!!!
Not only cats, but dogs are causing such a mess.. how can she live in a right mind..
Hence, here comes an ace in the hole
At one point, all the troublemakers gathered in one place
Lady: Aww~ You guys want it so badly? Huh~?
Ma'am.. so your ace in the hole is to grill some fish, is it...?
Lady: I give them salmons for a meal Yes, that expensive salmon I'm talking about hehe
The lady's paying extra attention to the food, just in case the cats might not have sufficient nutrition while growing up in the absence of their mother..
Lady: Kangtu~ Come! / PD: Why isn't she coming?
As it's delivered by hand..
By the favor of the lady's devoted affection, all six siblings are growing as healthy as they can get
Playing hard, eating hard, they're beginning to cat-wash their faces hee hee
Lady: She's in her sleep already lol
Lady: Just in case it might be dangerous, I'm just removing risk elements
Lady: Come here!
Another cat comes to the lady in the unusual aura
PD: Who's this one? / Lady: She's Maknae's mother
PD: Is she? / Lady: Yeah, she is! The origin of the reason why I ended up keeping all those cats!
PD: Aha~ She's the one? / Lady: Yeah, but she's neutered.
PD: Oh she's neutered? / Lady: Course she is! She's given birth three times, at my place!
Lady: Aigo, you're here too? Dul-Jjae? / PD: Woah wait, who is this one then?
Lady: That's Dul-Jjae. This one's her baby as well! / PD: Really? Oh wait, there's another one
Lady: Maknae was the first child, this one's second. That's the third. And Ppun-Soon, that's the end.
HAHAHA, I mean.. LOL
So they are Kangmu's aunties..
Began from Ppun-Soon, who would have known that her bond with these stray cats would last this long..?
The lady's been doing a hard job, taking care of the cats, in and outside the house
It isn't easy to handle all of them, she doesn't even give a sign of being annoyed by it
And she does it non-stop..
She really is an expert in parenting lol
PD: Hahahah... / Lady: Hahaha, gosh.. mann..
Some said I should play with them for at least 30 minutes, so they can go to sleep well during the night
See? They're whining about it.
Look, they're moving their heads here and there, and mewing
And Kanmu's just watching it quietly
PD: Kangmu's really quiet, isn't he? / Lady: She really is. Look how demure she is. Simply spectating from there..
She's putting herself behind, though she wants to play as much as they are
Awww you're just looking? Uwu~
The lady feels so sorry for Kangmu, grew so mature, even though she's only a year old...
'It's okay.. you rascals..'
Lady: I change my mind every single second. I go like, 'Gahd I can't keep all of them anymore'..
But on the other hand, I feel so much joy and pleasure from them.. It's quite even. Same as raising a kid
Every time she feels consoled by the kittens, can't stop thinking about 'Maknae' who's gone, leaving all these presents behind
Lady: I came by the field, and called out Maknae, asked her how she is, whether she's feeling cold or not
Acting pitiful and all lol
Still, Maknae's a precious gift given to her life, making a huge change
Today is the day to neuter all six kittens
Vet: The END!
PD: Good job everyone hehehe / Vet; Yeap, you too
Vet: Well, overall, the surgeries went well. There's nothing particularly odd while proceeding with the surgery~
They are grown healthy in the first place, which made the surgery go so smoothly, thanks to you
Lady: Awww thank you sir hahaha
PD: Guess the only thing to do is to raise them just as healthy and energetic as they are, right?
Lady: Yeah I promise, I'll do my best hehehe~
The precious lives given by Maknae before she left our side.. and the lady who'd kept them just as precious
We'll always thank both of you forever..♡
