Meet the newest member of the family, Jiyong. We found her in the public market one evening, we are walking along the vegetables market when my sister see her roaming around, I immediately picked her and at first I was hesitant to bring her home with a thought that maybe someone owns the kitten and I’ll be in trouble if seen taking it away.

My sister then told me just to bring the kitten home because nobody owns it, it was just one of the cats that scavenging in the market.  Jiyong as my sister named her is a playful, soft and lovable kitten, when she first arrived home she doesn’t response when called but later on when I called for food she will be the first one to run ahead of me.

It was less than a month ago when we found her in the highway, trying to survive and we bring her home and named her Jinjii. Yeah right, we are on our way to gasoline station when we saw a cat in the highway eating a piece of bread I can’t control myself and shout “Ming” we discussed if we are going to pick it or not, and when we returned back we stopped and my sister went by the neighborhood to ask if someone owns the cat, well nobody owns it so my sister took the kitten with her, one gas attendant sigh with relief saying “finally someone felt pity with the kitten” it turns out it was surviving there for days already.

Since we are still going to the market we brought the kitten with us even when we stop at the bakery. When we reached home our adult cats specially Junsu was not happy with the kitten’s presence so when we turn our back for a minute he immediately grab the kitten in the neck trying to suffocate it, luckily my sister was able to grab the kitten again, since that incident we are extra careful with Jinjii, I fed her at top of the cabinet while looking after her and even secure her with temporary cage to avoid the older cat from grabbing her when we are sleeping.

Today, the kitten was not a threat anymore to the older cats; they’re already friends and play together.
