When talking about anorexia, everyone's first impression may be people who refuse to eat because of weight loss. Anorexia is a very terrible disease. Patients will refuse food. Untreated treatment will cause serious consequences, but do you know? Anorexia is also found in animals. Our protagonist today is a kitten suffering from anorexia.
The orange cat named "Xiao Ba" was abandoned at the door of an animal hospital three months ago. At that time, it was packed in a pet cage with injuries on its legs. After discovering it, the hospital staff first treated it and contacted the animal rescue organization. They thought it was just a kitten abandoned by their owners, just like all abandoned stray cats in the city.
The difference is that since it was rescued, it has begun to refuse to eat. No matter what delicious food the staff used to tempt it, it doesn't even look at it, let alone eat it.
Xiaoba's physical injuries will soon heal, and what is more serious is psychological injuries. The doctor speculated that Xiaoba might have anorexia. The abuse and abandonment of his master left indelible pain in his mind. It seemed that it had given up the hope of living, and refusal to eat was just a way of expression.
There is no choice. In order to keep Xiaoba alive, the volunteers of the animal rescue organization can only maintain their life through force-feeding, but the effect is very little. After each feeding, Xiaoba will retching, and it is using all its strength to reject food.
Has this little guy really lost his belief in living? Is there really no more hope?
On this day, an adopter came to the animal rescue organization. After seeing Xiao Ba, she liked and felt sorry for her. She wanted to adopt this poor little guy.
The girl said: Even if there is someone who will abandon you, I want you to know that there are still many people who love you.
In order to make Xiaoba gradually familiar with her, the girl comes to the rescue station to see Xiaoba after get off work every day. She also plays with Xiaoba and sleeps with her on weekends, as if she feels the girl's sincerity.
On this day, when the girl came to see Xiaoba, it stretched out a small paw to the girl. This was the first time it took the initiative to show goodwill to humans.
Half a month passed, and Xiaoba and the girl became closer and closer. This weekend, the girl used food to test whether Xiaoba had the desire to eat. Unexpectedly, Xiaoba took the initiative to eat food this time. This was the first time Xiaoba had taken the initiative to eat in three and a half months since she was rescued! The girl burst into tears with joy.
Xiao Ba's legs were almost healed, and he had the act of taking the initiative to eat, so the girl decided to take Xiao Ba home. When Xiao Ba was put into the pet cage, it had symptoms similar to dry retching. It seemed to have already caused a shadow on the cage. Maybe the cage reminded it of the experience of being abandoned again.
Fortunately, the girl quickly brought Xiaoba back to her new home. But for Xiao Ba, it is always not easy to take the first step! It ran under the cabinet as soon as it came out of the cage. It doesn't matter, take it slowly, always give it time to adapt to the environment.
In this way, two months slowly passed. On this day, staff from the Animal Protection Organization came to visit Xiao Ba.
Huh? Is this the timid cat Xiaoba who didn’t eat at the time, and was afraid of trouble?
Flesh finally grew on its face! Although it still looks very thin, it is much better than before! And he will take the initiative to eat cat food. It’s so great to see Xiaoba eating so delicious! This is what the orange cat should look like~
Xiao Ba's new owner took out the cat teasing stick, and the little guy immediately started playing in high definition. He was completely a lively and cute cat, "a completely different cat" from Xiao Ba's previous one.
And, Xiaoba now has a new friend - Lulu, who is a cat adopted by the girl before. The two cats are very close and often play together! But what it likes most is to act coquettishly in the owner's arms. Maybe in Xiaoba's eyes, the girl is its savior!
Xiao Ba who is still willing to trust human beings again even though he has been abandoned, is really touching! Xiao Ba, just keep happy like this and enjoy your cat life!
