DG. Beaten Until He Developed Seizures, This Little Cat Is Still Fighting to Live

We often joke that cats secretly plan to “take over the world” — because of their calculating expressions, their sassy indifference, and the quiet power they seem to carry in such small bodies. Yet behind that playful image are fragile lives that depend entirely on human kindness.

Not everyone chooses kindness.

My is a small cat who endured unimaginable cruelty. Beaten so severely that he developed seizures, he was once thought unlikely to survive. But after nine months of devoted care from a young woman named T.Tr. and her mother, My has made slow, courageous progress — one shaky step at a time.

The Dark Days at Ba Dinh Market

My once wandered around Ba Dinh Market in District 8, Ho Chi Minh City. During one attempt to find food, he was brutally attacked.

When he was found:

Blood was coming from his mouth and nose
His body was soiled with urine and feces
His wounds were infected and foul-smelling
He was extremely weak and barely responsive

He was tiny, injured, and close to death. Many believed he would not survive.

After receiving word about his condition, T.Tr. and her mother decided to take him home with one simple belief: as long as there is hope, you try.

Months of Seizures and Care

The recovery process was long and painful.

A veterinarian was invited to treat My at home. For the first month:

He suffered 4–5 seizures per day
Some seizures were so intense that he bit his own tongue
He could not eat on his own
He had no control over basic bodily functions

He had to be hand-fed. He received injections continuously for two months. Each day was uncertain.

Gradually, the seizures became less frequent. His body began responding to treatment.

Love as Medicine

T.Tr.’s household already cares for more than 20 rescued kittens. Milk replacer (KMR formula) is regularly prepared for the babies. My loves it too. Whenever he hears the others being fed, he tries to crawl closer to ask for some.

Despite financial pressure — caring for nearly 25 rescued cats is costly — My has never lacked affection.

Today, he is stronger:

His fur has grown back smoother
He has gained weight
His seizures are less frequent

He still cannot eat independently. In the mornings, he eats softened kibble porridge but must be fed by hand. In the evenings, he has rice with fish — again, with help.

Walking remains difficult. His legs are weak. He may fall after just one step. But whenever he hears his owner encouraging him, he gathers strength and tries again — simply to reach her arms.
