She was bullied so many times by Rott - the Rottweiler. He put her in his mouth, didn't bite or tried to, but he really scared Artemis all the time, everyday. Artemis had a difficult time growing up, she was skinny for a long time and was always whinging. During spring 2015, she grew up dramatically, got pregnant and gave birth to her first 4 kitties in September 2015.
She went missing in August 2016, during a stormy week. We didn't know what might happen to her.

Kitties of Artemis:
Eddie, Artemis' son
Born: Sometime in September 2015.
Missing: 7 November 2015.
Eddie was the only survival of Artemis' kids born in September 2015. He was cute, healthy and naughty. I named him after the actor Eddie Redmayne. He went missing on 7 November 2015. The reason remains unknown.

Artemis delivered 3 kitties on 23rd Mar 2016. Two orange ones and one dark grey one. We called
them:
Gung: means "ginger" in Vietnamese; it has dark orange back and white tummy.
Zoe: sounds similar to "dau" in Vietnamese, means strawberry.
Cub: it has horizontal stripes like tigers, and this is a little one; its eyes are blue.

Gung, Artemis' son
Missing: 16 December 2016.
Gung was a very healthy young male cat.
Sometime between 15 Dec and 19 Dec 2016, Gung went missing. My mother was out of town for a cousin's wedding and my (another) cousin went to take care of the cats. He was believed to be kidnapped because he was sterilised. Sterilised male cats don't leave their house to find female cats, so it's very unlikely that Gung was exploring the area. Also, he had been staying home most of the time before became missing.

Zoe, Artemis' son
Died: 30 June 2016.
Zoe was found dead on the ground next to the starfruit tree. It looked like Rott jumped on him because he tried to steal Rott's food.
Cub, Artemis' daughter
Died: 10 June 2016.
She looked similar to Bean (Athena's kid), but Cub had more orange hair, and looked a lot more like her mother Artemis.
Cub was the strongest cat amongst her siblings and cousins (Athena's). She was the first one climbed out of the cage, and she'd had been constantly trying to escape the cat area. However, she didn't seem to be the smartest. We found her wandering around in Rott's cage, the last place she should be in the house.
Unfortunately, Cub died because of sickness in June.
