In this poignant observation, the cat’s behavior illuminates the presence of emotions in animals, even amidst the absence of a dear companion.

In a sewer, the heartbreaking cries of a distressed cat echoed through the darkness. The feral cat had been stuck inside the sewer for about a month, refusing to leave even once. When a rescuer called out to the cat, it emerged, revealing the reason for its prolonged stay – the lifeless body of another kitten lay nearby.

The cat, named Norang, had been inseparable from its feline companion, who had passed away a month ago. Norang seemed to be mourning the loss of its dear friend, trying to wake the lifeless body by rubbing against it, unaware that the kitten was no longer alive.

Concerned for Norang’s health and safety, the rescue team planned to catch the cat using a net. However, Norang was protective of its deceased friend and initially resisted help. Eventually, Norang allowed the rescuers to remove the lifeless body from the sewer, and the cat was brought to safety.

After being rescued, Norang was taken to a veterinary hospital. Fortunately, besides bronchitis, the cat was found to be in good health. The veterinarian suspected that Norang’s friend may have succumbed to an infectious disease or lived in poor conditions without proper care and clean food.

Animals, like Norang, have a heightened sense of smell and feelings, leading them to remain devoted to their deceased companions. As the rescuers bid farewell to Norang’s friend, they promised to provide a new home and loving care for the grieving cat.
Norang’s story serves as a reminder of the powerful bond animals can form with one another and the need for proper care and attention to ensure their well-being. With a new family and home, it is hoped that Norang will find happiness and carry cherished memories of its departed friend until they meet again in a better place.
