The origin story of Rainbow’s life is not widely known, but it is a heartwarming one. She was the first kitten to be born in a litter of five, which made for a challenging birth. As with many first-borns, she struggled to pass through the birth canal and had difficulty breathing upon delivery. Fortunately, my mother was present to aid in the birth, and despite initial concerns, she was able to revive Rainbow after putting in considerable effort. By holding her head under cold water and persisting with the revival process, Rainbow eventually began breathing again. Witnessing her first purr and heartbeat was a surreal moment for me. In the days that followed, we were anxious about whether Rainbow would pull through, but she proved to be a fighter, growing into a lively and joyful cat. I am filled with gratitude whenever I see her, knowing that her life was almost cut short but was ultimately spared.
