With the most innocent face,
Baby, the two-faced cat, changes suddenly
Will she be able to restore her peace?
The production crew entered the room to meet the troubled cat
Guardian: She’s looking at me from under the bed Production crew: Under the bed?
This cat hiding under the bed is the two-faced cat, Baby??
Guardian: Initially, she used to sleep next to me, act cute, follow me around when I said I’d give her a snack, and come to see me when I called her
But now…
Production crew: Why are you so distant from your cat?
Guardian: Because… I don’t know when she’s going to attack me
Unlike how her guardian’s tense, Baby seems peaceful and comfortable
It’s hard to believe she’s an aggressive cat looking at those innocent, sparkly eyes…
She approaches her guardian and walks around
Right when the guardian let her guard down for a moment,
Baby changes suddenly and attacks her guardian!
Guardian: Normally, she has that innocent face and is an angel, but when she becomes aggressive, she throws herself at me looking bloodthirsty
Her abnormal behavior is hard to wrap our heads around
Time passes and Baby goes back under the bed and stays crouched
She won’t come out from under the bed
But soon, she peeks around and comes out cautiously
It’s a breathtaking moment
But, unlike how everyone expected, Baby leaves her body in the hands of her guardian
At times like this, she’s definitely an angel
Production crew: She seems very gentle Guardian: Yes, but changing suddenly makes it scary
After enjoying a short moment of being pat
she became super sensitive again
The guardian says she tried everything that supposedly calms cats
Guardian: This is a floral essence and…
It’s supposed to calm cats and restore stability, so I bought it and have been feeding her
She says she tried the aroma candle and meditation music for cats, but unfortunately, they weren’t very effective
and Baby got even more aggressive soon after…
With time passing, she says it’s not easy to care for her so much…
Guardian: Since my arms have been getting scars, I have to wear these gloves when she’s extremely aggressive
I have to change out the sand and feed her, so…
Guardian: Baby, come here, come here, it’s okay!
Guardian: I think I’m getting exhausted after keeping this up for over a year…
She decided to get help from an expert to see if there are ways to go back to when they were on good terms
Vet: Huh? She’s very calm
Just as expected, she seems pretty calm
But soon, Baby gets aggressive in a blink!
The first time Baby, who used to be cute and gentle, became aggressive was last year
Guardian: She gave birth to a kitten a year ago. About 3 or 4 days after giving birth, she began to take her kitten to the balcony. About 3 or 4 days after giving birth, she began to take her kitten to the balcony
Baby showed abnormal behaviors after giving birth
So, out of concern, the guardian sent the kitten off for adoption and
that’s when Baby started to show aggression
Vet: From Baby’s perspective who has a strong maternal instinct, seeing the guardian sending her kitten to a safer place,
she was tremendously stressed out due to the loss
Humanly speaking, she’s showing symptoms of depression and manic depressive disorder
What the guardian thought she did for Baby actually, scarred her…
For cats, especially, the manic depressive disorder can show in the form of aggression.
The reason behind Baby’s emotional rollercoaster was a scar on the heart
Guardian: I feel like she met the wrong guardian… I’m thinking she would’ve had a better life…
As much as her symptoms are severe, Baby needs drug treatment
Vet: This medicine, simply speaking, is an antidepressant. It’ll relieve Baby some of the stress she has
Fortunately, Baby eats the medicine-mixed food well
Also, as Baby’s a sensitive fella, supposedly even the slightest actions of the guardian can threaten her
Vet: If you keep talking to her in the same tone, like “Baby, did you sleep well?” in the mornings,
“I’m going to get up” and “I’m gonna shower”, then…
If Baby keeps listening to the guardian’s stable tone and finds stability, it will help Baby relieve her stress
So, the guardian decided to give her a private space
She divides the space with a curtain and she also got her a cozy house that she can hide in whenever she wants to be alone
Maybe she’ll be able to rest comfortably in her own private space
Now, the guardian has to just wait for her heart to be moved
She read the room for a bit, and soon she eats comfortably
After filling up her stomach, she began to explore the house
On top of that, Baby looks a lot more relieved and at peace
Guardian: Thinking of her as my family, I think I’ll have to put in more effort to heal her of her scarred heart
Baby needed time to overcome her distress
Now, the guardian is determined to share her distress and lessen Baby’s burden
Baby, we sincerely hope you’ll live happily with your family ★
