Paid a visit to the animal hospital a month after the rescue
Vet : Maknae~ Maknae~
Is 'Maknae'
the 'Maknae' we know..?
Vet : The most worrying part was that she could die of infection which caused paralysis
Thankfully, however, she's handled well so far
The kittens who were rescued together have grown this big♡
Vet : Hahaha... Are you making an entrance?
On da way~~
PD : Woah, she walks now?
The cat whose hind leg was totally disabled..
walks with four legs and stands with her hind leg.. A miracle indeed came true perhaps...?
PD : Isn't she standing with her back leg? Vet : She is
She's recovered to the point where she can jump over a low threshold
Vet : She'll walk better after a time being. I think she can jump over a high place as well
Meanwhile, the family's longing to hear Maknae's updates
Ma'am : Kangmu~ Aww, Kangmu ran up to this point!
Do you remember Kangmu?
Maknae's kitten out of two who barely survived
That tiny one who couldn't open her eyes yet..
has grown this big~
Ma'am : You think she grew a lot? PD : Yeah, she's such a cutie though..?
Ma'am : So pretty, huh? PD : Yup, hello there, seriously..
That pretty face gives the crew a heart attack
Look how such a feeble baby who used to stumble around now has grown well and acts cute..♡
Say hello~ She's so pretty that she's like a doll
She worried me a lot, but now she romps around well and sleeps showing her belly
She takes medicine and gets injected.. Now she almost flies around here
Such feeble kitty who seemed to be blown by the wind
now can jump, which is basic..!
PD : Woah~ She a great jumper!
Don't get surprised yet
PD : Woah.. she peed
The kitten who couldn't discharge properly without the ma'am's assistance..
now finishes it up cleanly!
Fast like lightning!
Kangmu lived up to his name meaning 'be strong and grow well'
and became a blessing to the couple's life
The dearly feelings I had when I raised my children before..
I guess I have those feelings toward her now
You'd be amazed by seeing when your child acts somehow weird, right?
Kangmu is doing the same thing
I feel like our couple's raising the youngest baby at an old age
The old couple's looking after her as if they're taking care of their youngest child at an old age
If there's one drawback raising her, it would be..
I'm feeling tired these days because I couldn't sleep because of her
She comes to play with me, scratching and licking my face at night maybe because she's nocturnal..
That's why I can't sleep
Since this itty-bitty one keeps coming at me that I can't even toss and turn
I grind chicken breast and put it in a boiled water to make a porridge
I have to grind it to the point where it wouldn't get stuck in a milk bottle
So many efforts for every meal are taken to feed this baby
Meanwhile the kitty's pleading for food
She's done eating
When she's doing this, she's saying "I'm almost done~"
Aww, you're done~
I was quite concerned worrying if something goes off with her
I'm grateful that she's fine now
A few days later
Kamgu~ I'm going to see your mom
Today, Kangmu's mom Maknae is released from the hospital
Oh my..
Maknae.. Maknae..! Oh god..
Vet : Adapting to surroundings is essential for her. Once she closes her mind, moving onto the next step won't happen
I will try not to stress her / Yeah, stay indifferent after you bring her in
What's most important is to wait until she adapts to a new environment and opens up her heart
Vet : I think she'll have no problem recognizing Kangmu
Yet in case of not, her scent should be rubbed on her body, which is important
Rubbing Maknae's urine or discharged liquid on her body would be a great help
Aww you came?
Maknae and her kittens take a very first step in a new nest where their second chapter of life will begin
But..?
Kangmu's coming up / Yup? / She's walking up the stairs right now
Kangmu, it's dangerous... Get off the stairs!
Oh god.. She's walking up the stairs
Kangmu.. As if she knew that her mom came home, she's striving her best to go up the stairs with that tiny body
Kangmu diligently walks up the stairs higher than her height, one by one
Woah.. She made it up here
Does she know that her mom came? / What to do..
Wait~ / Wait a bit. Let's go downstairs
I think she knew her mom was at home
It was the first time she walked up the stairs
Gosh.. This is so touching..
I put her kittens in this blanket before
Can I just rub it like this?
But..
Aigoo, what's this smell? Does it smell like your mom?
Holy moly
Guess it smells like her mom
I'll rub it more on your body so that I can show that you're her baby
After rubbing the scent of Maknae on her body, the ma'am puts Kangmu into the room
They start greeting each other, closing off the distance slowly
At that moment, she stops at one spot and stares at someone..
Her mother
She couldn't see her mom's face as her eyes were closed yet
Then is it the instinct telling her that she's her mom?
Plucking up the courage to approach her
But soon enough, she turns back by her mom's cold demeanor
Carefully removed the neck collar, thinking it might have restricted her movements
Give her a snack since she had nothing during the morning
She even licks the leftover on the hand..
Her paws are pleading more asap
Lady : She's asking me to get her more quick
How long has it been? It's been a year since I handfed you
It's the first time right? / Yeah
Since Maknae's small yet astounding changes prove that she trusts the family,
decided to take more time and wait
Aww, she's out!
Aww she walks..! She'll walk soon if she takes some more efforts
Wish they live a long life with us / It was sad first, but think it will be a happy ending. That's why I'm so grateful
The last episode of Maknae and Kangmu will be uploaded next week♡
