【動画】うちの猫がおばあちゃんに似てるんだが

A variety of protected cats appear on the blog of Nekken, a non-profit organization, but some cats immediately win the hearts of readers.This time, I will introduce a 12-year-old “Shigu-ya” with unique features, such as comments on YouTube saying that his face is human.I asked Naoko Mizukami, the representative director, about Shigure’s history and the charm of old cats.When “Shigu-ya” was posted briefly on her blog, readers sent messages saying, “Who is she?” and “So cute!”A white cat whose pseudonym is “Shigure” and commonly known as “Shigu-ya,” lives in a shelter in the Chiba branch of “Nekken.”

　Originally, the Chiba branch manager was about to go to a convenience store in the rain when he found a cat that was soaking wet that it seemed to have lost its waist.It is said that when he called “Come here~”, he protected the place that came unsteadily.

　”I’m chubby now, but at the time I was very thin and dehydrated.”

　This ‘Shigu-ya’ was initially thought to be about six years old, but later it was discovered that he was about twelve years old.She was older than expected, but when she looked at her face like a human being who didn’t move much, it made sense that she was an old cat.

　”It’s hard to tell how old a cat is, and it often changes afterwards because they can only tell its age by the condition of its teeth and nails.There are times when you are injured or in bad condition, so even a veterinarian doesn’t understand well.”

　However, Mizukami, who has been watching cats for many years, knows how to distinguish them.

　”Old cats seem to have a point in their head.When a person reaches a certain age, the skin and flesh of his face hang down due to gravity.I think it’s probably because the flesh of the cat’s face falls down and the bones of its head protrude.”Also, it doesn’t move (lol).” Indeed, in videos posted on YouTube and blogs, “”*It’s not a still picture”” is written as a warning, so “”Shigu-ya”” does not move.”Still, it seems to be gaining more fans with its indescribable lovely appearance and unexpected cries.

　The number of people who want a protected cat is increasing every year, but many owners still think, “If you’re going to have a kitten first…”

　”But there is also a cuteness unique to older cats.Old Shigu also has a kidney problem, so it takes some care of him, such as needing an intravenous drip.But as you can see, it’s easy to keep and tastes good because it doesn’t move very much. I don’t think cute is just for kittens.”

　The video of “Shigu-ya” sitting on her lap and stroking her still shows the calmness and cuteness of an old cat.”Maybe it feels good to be caressed, but the way I close my eyes is like an old man soaked in a hot spring.”It’s not just kittens who are cute.He was an “old man” who reminded me of this.
