So when a mysterious illness left him in pain and withdrawn, his new kitten sister Crystal staying close became especially meaningful. Dodo editor Tarang shares the latest chapter in Cheese’s story and the unexpected (and quick) bond that formed between them.

00:00Iskida knew that her brother wasn't feeling well so she stayed by his side the entire time.
00:04She was a very supportive sister.
00:09And it really helped him.
00:11We featured Cheese's story a while back here on the Dodo, but this is the official update.
00:15Now you should definitely go give part 1 a watch if you haven't already,
00:18but in case you need the cliff notes, here they are.
00:20Essentially Cheese was a feral cat who showed up in Lana's yard and would not leave.
00:24After months of trying to gain his trust, she eventually rescues him.
00:27Once he was rescued, it took Cheese almost a year to completely trust her.
00:31When he did finally come around, it was like a switch had flipped and it was all love and cuddles.
00:35But then everything changed the night that Lana's husband brought home another kitten.
00:39I could never expect this from my husband.
00:42Their new kitten Krystal was actually somewhat of a rescue herself.
00:46She'd been surrendered because she was too high energy and essentially nobody wanted her.
00:50She was so active and playful.
00:53In total, it took them six days to become best friends.
00:58Now, if you're a cat owner, you know that six days is quite a fast time for introductions,
01:02but that's what makes her relationship so special.
01:05Before this, Cheese never trusted or played with another cat.
01:08Everything was going great for a while until out of nowhere,
01:10Lana noticed that Cheese was starting to act a little different.
01:13I could clearly see that something was bothering him, but I couldn't just understand what.
01:17We took him to 24-hour hospital. We did some x-rays and ultrasound.
01:24Unfortunately, Cheese got bad analysis. Honestly, I was so scared.
01:29While Lana and the vets were trying to figure out what was going on with Cheese,
01:32Krystal never left his side.
01:34We went to hospitals over six times and he was stressed.
01:39I always told my husband to keep Krystal near him and I watched that he relaxed a little.
01:46Whether it was in the car, at the vet, even in the carrier.
01:50She just knew that her brother was in pain and she was right there comforting him.
01:53It turns out it was a broken tooth and the nerve was exposed.
01:57He's got surgery and now he's totally okay.
02:00When he was a feral cat, he was scared of other cats and now he has Krystal in his life.
02:07I'm so happy for Cheese that he got a real friend.
02:16– Well done.
