Yahoo! News A tortoiseshell cat neglected by the owner One month after I came to my house, I finally opened my heart. My favorite brushing makes my hair smooth.

A cautious and slightly timid Maru-san

As the name suggests, Maru-san, who is estimated to be eight years old, is a lovely girl with a round silhouette. However, the Nyan student is so turbulent that she cannot imagine from her appearance. Two years after Maru-san was rescued from neglect, she was finally able to meet someone who could be regarded as a "house for a long time." [Photo] I had my head stroked and became a mess ... I fell in love with a tortoiseshell cat that I couldn't find a foster parent for two years. Laxmi (@ Laxmi1920) wanted to live with a cat two years ago. Moved to a pet-friendly rental. When she was looking for someone to transfer an adult cat to her foster parent recruitment site, she met Maru-san. In fact, Maru-san, a child who was neglected by her former owner. Her ex-owner suffered from a mental illness and couldn't take care of her dozens of cats, trying to keep a couple of them in one cage. yes. Maru wasn't happy with her food and clean water, and she wasn't getting her toilet cleaned properly. The collapse of her breeding was discovered because the government intervened in the former owner's house in another case. After that, the cats were rescued, partly due to the patient persuasion of the conservation group that received the request. At the time of protection, Maru was 5 years old. Because tortoiseshell cats have an artistic pattern, it is often difficult to determine foster parents. She had been recruiting her foster parents for almost two years in the case of Maru-san, but no one heard her ... She was about to give up on her foster child, even if she was in charge. At first sight, Lakshmi fell in love with Maru-san. Immediately after making inquiries, face-to-face meetings and trials proceeded in rapid succession, and we were officially welcomed as a family. On the day of pick-up, Maru-san didn't ring at all and froze. On the morning of the second day, he insisted that he wanted to get out of the cage, and even though he explored the room a little, he was wary. After seeing such a situation, Lakshmi wanted to take the time to get used to it, but on the third day, she was patted against her expectations ...! However, from each action that Maru-san shows, it is clear that he has survived the harsh environment. "I slept quietly in the cage for most of the day. When I got out of the cage, I didn't cry and assert myself very much. Maybe because I was trapped in the cage when I was a kitten or a young cat, I was in a high place I didn't climb. "It was about a month after I came to my house that the change in Maru-san's heart took place. Perhaps he recognized him as a forgiving partner, Maru-san always stays close to Lakshmi-san during the day and always sleeps with him at night. It also started to cry and try to communicate. "I've become more active in playing, and I'm more excited to run around with toys. I've accepted nail clippers and loved brushing, so my rugged and sticky coat has become fluffy and silky." Perhaps because I lived in a harsh environment, I still pee twice a day and poop once every two days. Even if we devise ways such as adding more toilets, there is still some ice in our hearts that does not melt, but recently, we have been increasing our self-assertion to Lakshmi to "stroking" and "holding". "Whenever I'm in bed or on the floor, I always come, roll by my face, and mess around. This is really cute." .. That is why a strong bond may have sprung up between them. ■ Animal neglect The problem is not another person's affair Actually, a tortoiseshell enthusiast who has lived with all three tortoiseshell cats, including Mr. Lakshmi and Mr. Maru. "I feel that rust is smart and has a lot of affectionate cats. I think it can be divided into laughter and tsundere wise cats ..." Maru-san, who lives with us, seems to be laughing. Since I started spending time together, Lakshmi's daily life has increased with smiles. "When Maru-san is playing and excited, he runs around, drifts, and sometimes slips on the mat and falls. It has a short tail and is plump, so it's like a wombat." What remains in his heart is when Maru learned about the deliciousness of chicken breast. One day, Maru-san, who received the boiled chicken breast soup, was very excited to look into his bowl and thrust his hand after drinking about half of it. At the end of the phrase, he thrust his face from under his bowl and turned the tableware over. "I think I was looking for it because I couldn't find it because it should contain meat. Even if I think back, I'm sorry or funny, and I laugh." In order not to feel sad again, we are preparing a living environment so that Maru-san will not be afraid or disliked while living together, and will be able to spend as much as he wants at his own pace. "I always keep the toilets, tableware, beds, blankets, etc., including the cages clean. I'd be happy if you could understand that even if they get dirty, they can be cleaned immediately." Be conscious of complimenting with words such as "It's a cat" and "The cutest cat in the world". "It's really pitiful that there wasn't anyone who praised her for being cute," she said, but Lakshmi also thinks that what happened to her ex-owner wasn't something else. .. "The original owner shouldn't have started keeping it because he wanted to bully him. He couldn't take good care of him because of his mental illness, and the illness progressed without being able to consult with anyone, and the situation was getting worse and worse. I wonder if it has happened. I think this can happen to anyone. The former owner has received appropriate treatment and is now recovered. ”The happiness of the cat is in the hands of the owner. It is because we need to pay attention to our mental and physical condition. When I hear Mr. Lakshmi's words that make me so keenly aware, I want to become an owner who can "live with animals" instead of "keeping animals". (Pet animal breeding manager, Satoshi Furukawa)
