Pay a visit to the mart after receiving a call from an informant
Store owner : There's a problem we can not solve
so I called to ask for help
The problem has occurred in a giant retail mart where they sell daily supplies
He's going to tell about the details of the incident
Guess she ate it again
Piled-up on the storage ground are torn-off food bags..
At first, I thought the bags were torn off as they got bumped on something by a mistake
What did the manufacturer say? / They said products were not defective
Yet, the food bags were found with holes in them, over and over..
Something falls off when the customer brings a bag to the counter
Then I always find a bag with a hole in it
But the strange thing is
When pet supplies and treats are displayed,
What's been destroyed is always the dog food sacks
Perhaps we can find out who the culprit is through the surveillance cameras installed everywhere?
That spot is out of the cameras' angle
PD : So it's on the blind area?
Yes, I think the culprit knew it and committed the crime on purpose
Can't sit back and watch her wrongdoings anymore
Install a camera where the food section is seen
Will the culprit show up again today?
Next day
As soon as the morning comes, goes straight to the food section
Stocked-up food sacks are destroyed again!
Ah... She ate it again
The clerks straight up check the footage
Clerk : Here, here it is! PD : Where, where, where?
A strange silhouette spotted on the camera
The one who disappeared behind the display stand
was a cat!
After watching out for a bit,
The cat goes straight to the display stand
Smoothly and skillfully opens the food sack
Shameless
Mart owner : She could just bring it home though
After enjoying food, the cat leaves
Food was great
One thing I don't understand is.. There no way she could enter the mart. She didn't follow the people either
I don't know where she came through..
There are only two spots where the cat can enter the mart
But the doors are locked and checked thoroughly
Everywhere is blocked without any windows
I have no clue why she'd come a long way to destroy the sacks
Because there's a nice restaurant across the street
Instead of tearing off the food sacks
It would've been much easier to appeal to the BBQ restaurant owner
Have any animals or cats tried stealing food from here? / Never
Not even once? / Yeah, it never happened before
The cat has never paid a visit to the place full of savory smell
Also, in the mart
She'd only get a big one, not a small one
Either this or this
She'd only pick a big one..
Getting more mysterious..
There's a cat over there!
Did you see a cat? / Yeah
Peek
The cat reveals herself in the mark during operating hour
She doesn't avoid people who say hi at all
Come here~
and doesn't move at all
Then
The cat freely walks on top of the display stands
How did she go up?
She will die if left not being cared / She won't die starving
Do you feed her? / No, she feeds herself
Try looking at the cat who's on the shelves
The width of the space is only this much, and it's a drop down below
Where the cat stood was
the top of a temporary wall
The width of the display stand is 5cm
And there's a gap between the temporary wall and the display stand
The cat might fall off if she takes a wrong step
No wayouts in the ceiling too
Is there any chance the cat might enter from outside?
The ceiling is connected to everywhere
Every store share the same ceiling since it's one floor but I was told that that side is blocked during construction
Except the BBQ restaurant, every store in the first floor share the same ceiling
While searching outside the buiding..
PD : Found a hole here/ Woah, it's a big one..
Found a large gap where it's connected to the ventilator
Look inside the boiler room as well
Uh! A hole here! / PD : Oh, there it is
A hole created to connect the drainage pipes together
She must have gone inside to the ceiling through this gap
The cat must've been using this gap to go inside the mart
At that moment in the mart
The clerks are working on something..
I'm wrapping all these to stop the cat from opening them
I think we can protect the products in this way at least
Another ace in the hole is..!
It's for shooing the cat away..
The clerk's efforts to block the cat's access..!
Props to your hard work..
Soon after
The cat spotted on the camera outside
As we expected, the cat's been passing through the hole to enter the mart!
The cat is way more punctual at work than the clerks
Better than me
Meanwhile
The cat walks into the mart
Carefully walks towards the display stand
The cat got flustered by the toy insects' guard
After checking one by one, find the vinyl wrapped around the food sacks
But then, she found the gap at last..
Help us, animal rescue specialist~
Sim In-Seob / Animal rescue specialist : There's one thing peculiar that there's a little hole in the package
The normal vacuum-packed products don't spill what's inside
But this product has little holes on it where the food smell comes out..
After figuring out the cause, decide to rescue the cats hurridedly
Move the food sacks the cat's been enjoying so far
Turning off the light after closing the business
Wait for the cat to appear in tense..
At that moment, the cat appeared up on the wall
(There she is)
As usual, the cat carefully approaches the food sack
As if she's got embarrassed by the empty display stand,
The cat slowly walks into the cage
Succeeds in catchng the cat!
It's bittersweet
Guess the owner's feeling sad to let her go
Then release meow~
Time to check her health
Vet Yeo Gui-Seon : Her health is fine based on the test results
Except for something on her stomach
She has a baby
An unexpected news that she who still looks young carries a baby
Why has she taken a tough trip to the mart every day when she's pregnant?
Vet : It wouldn't be easy to find out out there for cats with such personality
Considering that she carries a baby,
It was the best possible choice to keep her kittens safe in the belly
Touch and harsh life on streets
To feed her kittens in her belly
she risked her life, jumping over the high wall every day
The mart clerks visit upon hearing the news
We heard that she's pregnant, so we brought this
This was her favorite
Meow~
Hey
The cat remembers the clerks
She was always in tense when she was with us
But I guess she's relaxed enough to greet the now
Missed ya..
Thanks for recognizing us. First time visiting to meet a cat
You take care of her until she delivers babies
The cat who thought to be food thief
turns out to be a mother with strong maternal love
Hope she safely delivers cute babies
Stay warm and full for the rest of your life <3
