Little cat sitting under the piano
Mirae, come out~
She seems to run okay
But keeps falling to the side
Can't Mirae control her body?
Yes, she's not well
so she can't walk like other normal cats
Mirae doesn't look sick
But it's hard for her to move as she wants to
No matter how she tries to flex her leg
it's still hard for her to stand upright
With such body condition, she tries to walk
to where her owner, Jina is
But for Mirae, it's such a long distance to reach Jina
Hold on pls
Jina feeds Mirae with her hand every day
Her hands support Mirae's waist
Why do you put your hands on Mirae's waist?
If I don't, she can't keep her balance
and goes like this
It's not easy for Mirae to eat food alone
even for a short mealtime..
For Mirae, Jina is her mom and everything
When Jina is doing other things
Mirae's eyes are fixed on her
Meow
Now, they're bound up with each other
※ Mirae when she was a kitten
Since she was born in the street
and had a pretty face
many attempted to raise her at home
But gave up on her due to her disability
So after adopted by one to another, she finally came to our family
Due to her disability
Mirae couldn't be accepted anywhere
When I saw Mirae, I felt pity for her
so I couldn't leave her behind
My wife also cried a lot while seeing her
I mean we respect Mirae's life
but I was heartbroken seeing her struggles
come here
Taking pity on Mirae, the family brought Mirae home
But now, Mirae has become huge support for her family
After having a big fight at school
Jina got hurt and had a hard time going out
To her, Mirae has become her friend who can share feelings
So we are very thankful for Mirae now
Mirae being always beside me just really supports me a lot
So thankful for Mirae
The next day
I'll be back~
After Jina goes to school
Mirae is left alone at Jina's room
Mirae tries hard to reach the door
but her body isn't moving as she wants
Mirae keeps staring at the door
Mirae looks at the door while lying down
and tries hard to get up
and goes out
Mirae!
Why did you come out?
Wanna go to the bathroom?
Let's go~
Don't be scared, good girl
You don't wanna pee?
If Jina doesn't takes her to the toilet,
she doesn't pee at all
Without Jina, time goes so slowly
Mirae, why are you here. Go back to your room
Were you waiting for Jina?
Let's stay inside the room
At the moment when Mirae is exhausted from waiting..
Upon hearing the door opens
Mirae runs out to the door
Mirae~
Sis is here~
Did you eat food?
With Jina's touch, Mirae stays more calmed
Why?
Has she eaten yet?
No she hasn't. She didn't pee when she was with dad
Did you want to pee~?
Mirae finally pees with Jina's help
I'm so disappointed Mirae, How can you do this to your dad
Mirae keeps trying to reach you
Hello Mirae~
Mirae cries as if she's saying she missed Jina
(Mirae's sound) Umma~(Umma means 'Mom' in Korean)
Umma?
Mirae makes every sounds from Umma, Unnie(sister in Korea) and crying
In front of Jina, Mirae turns to a baby cat
Mirae became cheerful after meeting her family
But she still can't control her body
Her legs get stiffened
MRI exam is only left
but then she needs to get general anesthetics
Since she's still a kitten I'm afraid which results she'll have..
To find out the cause of the disability
the family decided to take an MRI scan
If not standing up often due to the lack of strength in hind legs
muscles in the thigh can get shrunk
But these muscles aren't shrunk that much
thanks to the good care
Without genuine love and care
her face wouldn't look like this
Except for her legs
any health problems can't be found
Mirae is only 7 month old now
Hope she goes through the exam safely
After a long wait, the results came out
We couldn't find any abnormal problems
Vet : Having no morphological problem
leads to a low possibility of getting worse in the future
so it's good news
The vet says the cerebellum which controls a motor nerve is normal
She suffers from the aftereffects of panleukopenia(sort of a virus infection)
Good news is that her condition can improve
We can have a hope for Mirae, thankfully
Thank you, sir
Are you happy? Yes
Vet : Getting into holes that are made in some space
Such activity enables Mirae to keep the balance
and develop muscle strength
Jina makes a box for Mirae's rehabilitation
The holes on the box will pique Mirae's curiosity
How Mirae would react to the box?
As soon as she sees the hole, goes into it
Mirae~
Mirae goes back and forth through the hole several times
One more gift for Mirae!
To help Mirae eat food by herself
Customize an aid brace
The aid brace that fits her body
will help her eat food more easily
Wonder if Mirae could adjust to the new brace..
As she wears the brace that fits her body perfectly
Mirae is the best~
Mirae is finally able to eat food by herself
It will develop the strength in legs and make her more confident
I'll be the first time ever to eat by herself
Hope grows in the family
I believe that Mirae will improve
Will you get better, Mirae?
meow
Though she was in pain
for falling over and over, and getting down
With her loving family
Wish Mirae draws happy days in the rest of her life :)
