A mysterious sound resonating in the hood full of villas
I don't know where the sound comes from
I looked around, but couldn't figure out where the sound comes from
Definitely heard the sound
from around this spot...
But couldn't figure out at all..
Resident : The sound has a regular pattern
It goes like 'tak tak tak'
and stops, and then it goes again
At that moment!
Resident : This sound! PD : Is this what you're talking about? Resident : Yes
PD : From which side though? Resident : From here
I thought a person was groaning at first
As hearing it closely, the one who makes sound should be near..
But the one never appears, just its sound remains
A hide and seek with a cat has continued over a week
You can hear it now
At first, I thought it was just a cat crying as usual
but as it continues,
I felt like the cat desperately asked for rescue
Huh?! A cat!!
It doesn't seem like it's the one who cried
Being anxious, walks around the villas
Check the place where the cat was
But nothing was there and the crying sound also stopped
Install a camera to observe the situation from a distance
The cat cries again..
and the other cat who was spotted before appears again
The cat tries so hard to look inside of the pipe
Then a desperate, crying is heard from the inside of the pipe..
As if she's worried about the one stuck inside the pipe,
The cat can't leave..
The cat stayed for a while
and then left..
Is there a cat inside the pipe?
Decide to use the endoscope camera
Difficult access to the inside since it's curved and narrow
The camera can't go further anymore
The camera curved in U-shape went inside the pipe horizontally
But there was another curve in the middle of the pipe
The cat's crying is not heard anymore
Next day, visit the spot of the yesterday again with concern
The cat is alive still
Building owner : The pipe links to a drainage pipe on the opposite side of the basement room
It's the basement
Not far from the entrance of the pipe
Building owner : This hole is connected to the pipe above
At that moment..
Huh? I think I heard the cat crying
Wasn't that the cat crying?
His wife : I heard it too
The cat's crying from the hole
As the camera goes in..
Found the cat!
But the cat's trying so hard to climb up
If the cat looks back, he can come out on his own
but he only looks front and tries to go up..
First off, need to spot the cat's location
The cat is seen from a distance..
It was a little kitten
As the light comes in, the kitten tries hard to climb the slippery pipe
The kitten's right under here
The pipe goes down vertically toward the basement
and it's curved to the side and goes into the building
The kitten is at the touchpoint of the pipeline that links to the horizontal part
Rescue the kitten from above
Rescuer : I can see the kitten in the bottom
PD : Uh, there's the kitten
Looks more comfortable than before
Resident : Aww, look at him
He's been stuck in there for days..
Resident 2 : I'm glad that he's alive
Thought the kitten was at a reachable spot
but the hole is deeper than expected
Rescuer : it's deeper than expected
It's not even possible to reach the kitten
even when the whole pipe is removed
It might be possible if we use a tool?
Put a net down to the hole
so that the kitten can use his claws to climb it up
As if it looks strange to him, the kitten hesitates
Grab it
You have to grab it and climb it up
The kitten plucks up his courage
and grabs the net
Carefully pull the net up
The moment when the kitten finally comes out to the world!
Resident 2 : Ah, that was close
Oh no... That was really close
Hang in there..
Guess he's lack of strength
But suddenly..
The kitten turns back and walks on the other way
Rescuer : The kitten's coming here Cameraman : Is he coming? / Yes
The kitten walks to the outlet in the basement
and then, the kitten sits
Reach their hand to him, but..
Rescuer : The kitten went back, right Cameraman : Yes, he stepped backwards..
Then let's push him from behind with the camera
Touching his butt
The startled cat comes out
We got him!
Resident : is the kitten out?
Finally, out to the bright world
Resident : Let me see your face, oh my~
So proud and grateful that he had endured so well with such small body
Vet : Very skinny
Hasn't eaten properly or drunk
Building owner : It's fortunate that he's rescued. I'm very happy
Resident : Such a little one cried over a week to save him..
Almost every night..
I'm glad he's rescued
Thank you
According to a variety of test, his health is fine
He'll recover strength and health once he's hospitalized for 2-3 days
He must have been starved
to the point where he cleans up a whole bowl
That evening, where the kitten left
Building owner : I'm worried that a cat might go into the pipe again
So I installed a taller ventilator to prevent further incidents
One more concern is..
The mother cat who wandered around the pipe
Decide to proceed with the rescue mission
The mother cat had been often visiting this spot
Even when the night falls
the mother cat doesnt appear
Vet : The kitten must be around 3 months old..
In that period, the kitten should slowly become independent
It might have affected the mother..
The mother cat
never left the kitten who struggled alone in the dark..
That heartwarming memory will be a great support to the kitten's life
