When a hired caregiver accidentally stepped on one of two sister cats in a Chinese home, the unexpected reaction came not from the injured cat, but from her protective sibling. The story highlights the strong bond between the two felines and their unique personalities.
The Incident
The caregiver, tasked with feeding the cats, unintentionally stepped on the younger cat, Jiu Jiu, while placing a water bottle on a table. Jiu Jiu retreated silently, showing no apparent distress. However, her sister, Du Du, sprang into action. Known for her calm demeanor, Du Du transformed into a fierce protector, confronting the caregiver and vocalizing her discontent.
The Misunderstanding
The caregiver, startled by Du Du's aggressive behavior, apologized profusely, assuming she had stepped on the angry cat. Unbeknownst to her, Jiu Jiu was watching from a distance, seemingly unbothered by the incident. It was only when Jiu Jiu intervened, assuring her sister that everything was fine, that Du Du calmed down.
Insights from the Owner
The owner noted that while Jiu Jiu is affectionate and often gets accidentally stepped on without causing a fuss, Du Du's reaction was likely due to the caregiver being a stranger. This perceived threat triggered Du Du's protective instincts, showcasing the strong bond between the sisters.
