Charming Cat - Ku-chan Edition

Meeting our fourth cat

August 2022

It was one day in the middle of Obon.

My friend was leaving in his car when he saw something white underneath the car.

Maybe it's just my imagination, but I was curious and took a look...

"?!"

Cat: "Meow!!!"

A kitten appeared there

After protecting and washing the cat, they took it to the hospital.

And when I heard they were looking for a foster home for them, I jumped at the chance!

When I saw the photos and videos

Not only is she cute, but she is also somehow captivating, and has the strength to live life to the fullest.

Big eyes pleading for something

That sight really captured my heart.

About a week after our friend rescued him, we welcomed him into our home as a new member of the family!

His name is Kuku (nickname: Ku-chan)

*Because it makes a cooing noise lol

Totchin was the one who looked after Kuu-chan.

Gradually, Yoyo and Nene started spending time with us.

I'm really glad that we developed a good relationship.

And a year passes

December 2023

Everyone is packed lol

It was a cold time of year, so even though he's a house cat, he's stocked up!

If there is food there, the cats will line up to eat it //

2024-2026 (present)

For some reason, there are a lot of these two-shot photos!!

Mutual love is exactly this↑

In fact, an incident occurred in 2024.

That is... Kuu-chan's marking behavior.

Walls, windows, furniture, everywhere.

I've tried to thoroughly improve the causes of stress.

It still hasn't healed.

A few months after I started marking

The human family members were also under a lot of stress and things became tense.

After some thought, I decided to use diapers.

At first, I was quite resistant to the idea, but I couldn't allow the relationships between my family (people) to deteriorate any further, so I hardened my heart.

He's gradually gotten used to the times when he should mark, so now he only does it at night.

Then I noticed something when I put on diapers.

The bones in his feet were deformed.

The largest size diaper will fit, but if you're not careful how you put it on, it might slip off easily.

The Velcro fastening that secures it around the stomach doesn't reach.

I have no idea how long this will last, but compared to the worst

It's gotten better, so I'll continue to get along with it!

Above all, it's not Kuu-chan's fault...

A certain incident caused Ku-chan's heart to hurt.

I was being naive back then.

Just because it worked before doesn't mean it will work this time.

Why did I start marking?

I'll tell you about that next time.

Don't overlook small changes

It's important to feel something strange in the midst of a scene that's the same as always

If no one notices it, it will blend into the scenery

And we take the changed scenery for granted.

Let's stop taking things for granted
