A mysterious sound
from a BBQ place where a savory smell gives off
Meow~
Madam : It's here again
A mysterious guest who paid a visit to the BBQ restaurant is..
A CAT
Meow~
The cat audaciously took her spot in front of the door
She's a stray cat Sinja. She always throws a tantrum to beg for food
It's quite noisy sometimes
Since a few months ago, the cat's been paying a visit to the restaurant every day
and crying at the door as if she claims for something she left
That's why the madam grills meat today as well
She won't leave if she doesn't get her meat..
She waits and begs for it until she gets it, so..
I'm preparing meats for her until customers come
The madam serves grilled meat to the cat
Yet..
Sinja takes meat in her mouth and leaves to somewhere
Soon after, she shows up again
It looks like she's eating it this time, but..
She takes it in her mouth again and heads to somewhere else
Is she doing this to keep her pride, perhaps?
She could just easily eat at the spot
Where are you going, Sinja
She wouldn't eat, but takes it to somewhere when she gets it.
I haven't seen her eating it so far
Where on earth is she heading to with meat in her mouth?
To find out her secret, install observation cameras everywhere
Soon after, Sinja reveals herself
Then she sits in front of the restaurant again
and asks for more +_+
Can't even count how many times she asked for today..
As soon as the bowl is placed,
She takes the meat and disappears again
Over the wall, Sinja's secrets spotted by a camera are..
her kittens!
Each gets one meat
She's been disappearing with meat in her mouth every day was
because of her kittens!
The madam brings a calender
The day Sinja didn't show up
I saw her belly which grew a lot on the day she didn't come
12 days later since then, she came again
and I found her belly's gotten smaller.. I guess she gave birth to kittens (on that day)
Three months ago, Sinja didn't show up one day
And on that day, she seemed to give birth to her kittens..
After she became a mother, she started delivering grilled meat for her kittens
When she goes down to get food
The kittens wait for her to come
She has no time to chill as she has to feed her four children
The madam has been serving grilled meat for Sinja with such story behind her
This time, it's frozen pig intestine instead of pork belly
But..
She doesn't even give a look at them
*Ignoring*
Sinja~ Eat this
Nah!
She wouldn't take pig intestine, but insists on taking pork belly only..
Shameless..
The madam grills pork belly at last..
Maybe it's a mother's love to feed their child the best..
Thanks to her picky taste, her kittens are growing fast
Madam : They get chubbier every time I see them
Since they've had fresh meat in every meal
Staying in shape and bright became their extra charms
Sinja got exhausted from child-rearing..
Meanwhile when she goes down for a moment to quench her thirst
A black shadow
threw over the wall where only kittens are left
A cat even approaches the kittens..
I call the cat 'Ugly'
All of them hide and put their guards up once that cat approaches
Upon hearing her kittens' urgent cry,
Sinja runs to her kittens right away
At that moment, a kitten got chased after Ugly
Even when the mother is right next to them, Ugly threatens the kittens
Sinja, who couldn't stand it anymore, throws a punch
The invader runs away at last..
Mother is da coolest thing on earth ♡
Night falls
The BBQ restaurant is getting busy with pouring customers
Shinja who came to score meat again
gets sulky..
Customer : Sinja!
At that time, customers come to Sinja to feed her meat
and Sinja delivers meat to her kittens, with no doubt
But why doesn't she teach her kittens how to find food by themselves?
Vet Choi Young-min : It's common for kittens at the age of 3 months old to leave their mom
So four of them not leaving their mother yet is a rare case
When leaving their mother after 2 months since birth is normal
why are they still together then?
She had her first delivery across the street, I guess
But her past children must have been killed in the road as they had crossed the road often
Last year, Sinja gave birth for the first time across the street
Unfortunately, however,
she lost her kittens on the road..
Because of the memories then
She found a safer place to give birth to her kittens
Fearing that she might lose her kittens again,
She seems to keep the kittens more on her side
Next day
Today again, Sinja delivers grilled pork belly to her kittens
But..
The kittens used to be four
But only three have left
It never happened before because they were always together...
Where has one gone?
Searching around..
PD : The kitten's here!
The kitten found curled up on the fallen leaves
What happened during the night?
Seeing its intestine being full of diarrheal stool,
The kitten must have died of panleukopenia
Panleukopenia is one of deadly enteritis for little kittens
I think the kitten had been in a latent period
and died abruptly after having diarrhea
The kitten's death no one expected
Panleukopenia is a common and fatal disease for stray cats during winter
For the cat family's safety, all are transferred to the hospital
and get their condition examined
Sinja doesn't have panleukopenia yet, fortunately
All of them are in good health overall
Sinja doesn't have health problems, fortunately..
One of them already has panleukopenia and the other two are in the latent period
The kittens should be separated for a while for an intense treatment
All of them could've died if they weren't rescued
90% of cats suffer from panleukopenia cease if left untreated
Sinja almost lost her child again...
But there's hope as they all are going to be treated soon
Hope her kittens grow healthily and get adopted to good families
I will take good care of Sinja and make her happier and healthier than now
Sinja's love as a mother who wants to raise her kittens healthily..
Hope they all get healthier as soon as possible and
may warm, spring day comes to Sinja's family!
