One early winter morning, a dying tabby cat was found lying in an old miso storehouse.

"Leave stray cats alone,"

Kenzo, over 70 years old, had said, but at his wife Sumiko's request, he reluctantly helped treat the cat's wounds.

Eventually, the cat recovered and was named "Torazo."

Then, a skinny calico, a one-eyed black cat, and a gray tabby with a torn ear began appearing at Kenzo's house one after another.

However, there was something strange about these three cats.

During the day, they hardly moved, lying down as if ill.

Yet, for some reason, they disappeared at night.

Meanwhile, Kenzo's miso storehouse was suffering from a serious rat infestation, and he was facing the imminent payment of raw material costs.

Finally, Kenzo was even considering, "I have no choice but to drive these cats away."

One night, he set up an infrared camera in the miso storehouse.

Then, at 11:00 AM...

The moment he saw the scene captured on the night vision camera, Kenzo was speechless.

"Look... they weren't just freeloaders after all..."

What exactly were the cats doing in the middle of the night?

And what was the reason behind the "certain behavior" they had shown during the day?

This is the story of a poor elderly couple and their cats, who had no one to rely on, and how they came to support each other.

Please listen slowly until the end.
