"Mother" that title is too big for her, she is the cause of all there pain. What kind of a mother rejects and abandons her only son to go raise someone else's son. And then when made to choose again, she chooses the others but not her son Andrea. I was so upset that they didn't tell Yuri till today, like if Andrea was a sin or a dirty secret. Most mothers would give anything to have a son like that, I know I would. That woman makes me so angry and when she starts crying she makes it worst. What about all the tears Andrea had shed threw the years with all the beatings and thinking she's dead and then feeling lonely and then finding out that she abandoned him. I'm still amaze that he hasn't reproach her for her abandonment and pain. And now she's running away from him because she afraid the her two boys would hurt each other, well she's the one to blame. She's running away from Andrea like she's ashamed of him. What about Andrea, he has been made to give up everything that rightfully belongs to him so everyone else could be happy, When is he going to have a turn at happiness. I wouldn't forgive her, I think is too late. What do you guys think?

I was also surprised that Andrea forgave his mother so quickly. Not that I think you shouldn't forgive your parents, but for me I think it would've been a long process of healing. I honestly don't think I could've forgiven my mom that fast and easy. I mean the women abandoned him, why would she do something like that? Okay so she married her husband's friend, couldn't she bring her son with her?

I've been thinking the exact same thing Raven. She doesn't deserve to be anyone's mom. She is indeed the cause of their pain. If there is one thing you are supposed to count on in life is that your mom will always be there for you, always. And she left him. She left him for a man. To me that's unforgiveable. I mean it's amazing to me that animals sometimes protect their young more than humans do. A mother bear will fight to the death for her cubs. Birds will feign illness in order to get intruders away from her nest, putting her life at risk. And she left him for a guy? If Woojin's dad really loved her she would have accepted Andrea as part of a packaged deal. But his love for her was selfish. Andrea said "I guess that's what a mother is for a child." He went from thinking that his mother was dead to knowing she was alive. So as Rhett Butler said, "I guess a bad mother is better than no mother at all."

Rhett also told Scarlett, "A cat's a better mother than you," thus agreeing with you on the nobility of animal mothers. Cats are very good mothers. =^^=

Cats are very good mothers. =^^= I remember reading a piece in a magazine about a house that was burning up (can't remember where) and that the owner tried to go back for her cat. The firefighters would not let the lady go back in, they themselves were trying to calm the raging flames. Since the mom cat had just given birth to her babies a couple of days ago, she pulled each and every one them outside to safety. She had to go in and out six times despite the fact that each time she would suffer burn wounds and was pitch black from all the smoke contamination. That is love.

This must be common. I saw the ASPCA fund raiser (again this weekend) and one of the vets took the momma kitty home after she was healed. Both of her ears were burned off.

I also saw it on t.v. I don't recall when but she looked in such pain. I wonder if Andrea is ever going to blow up on her. Her guilt keeps getting her sick have you noticed.

I do not feel sorry for her. She is paying the consequences for the road she chose. I'm glad Andrea gave her a piece of his mind. This isn't the type of thing you fix by saying "I'm sorry" or even "I'm really sorry", it's not.
100 points for the mother cat, andrea's mom: 0

I both feel sorry for her and blame her for making a stupid and weak choice. She didn't have the strength to hold onto her own son without her husband.
You know, I may totally be making this up, but I really do think that, by a weird coincidence, the mother cat's name was Scarlett. I'm going to try to find an original news story.

Yes! OK, here's the story, quoted form www.moggies.co.uk/html/scarlett.html. Beware, the first picture on the page is of Scarlett soon after she was brought to the hospital. She's looking really rough and it's sad, though of course the story has a happy ending. Here's the text: March/April 1996 - It was a story that touched the hearts of people throughout the world. A mother cat pulled her five kittens to safety from a blazing abandoned building in Brooklyn (USA), badly scorching herself. One kitten, weakened by smoke inhalation, died of a virus. Her four remaining 4-week-old kittens recuperated with her at an animal clinic. With her eyes blistered shut, her paws burned and her coat singed, the cat nicknamed Scarlett for her patches of red fur darted into the flames and pulled out her kittens, one by one. Once all the kittens had been rescued, their mother conducted a head count, touching each kitten with her nose to make sure they were all there. Firefighter David Giannelli, a 17-year veteran with Ladder Company 175 told reporters "What she did was she ran in and out of that building five times, got them all out, and then started moving them one by one across the street." David found the feline family outside the building and took them to an animal shelter, where the mother and babies received treatment. His colleagues coined a nickname for firefighter David: "The animal guy." "Everyone here knows that anything I can do for an animal I'll do," Giannelli explains. Scarlett and her babies find new homes: Three months after her heroic feat, Scarlett and her four surviving babies are not only well, but were adopted in a blaze of publicity. After reading hundreds of letters from people who wanted to adopt the cats, a committee at the North Shore Animal League picked three families. Two kittens, "Oreo" and "Smokey", went to Debbie Palmarozzo of Miller Place, Long Island. "I might change Smokey's name to Cinders," said Palmarozzo. The two other kittens "Samsara" and "Panuki", who have been inseparable, are with Corinne and Ginette Vercillo of Port Washington, Long Island. As for Scarlett, judging by all the cat hair on her new owner, Karen Wellen, there was some heavy bonding going on. "I expected to see a scrawny hairless cat and she was gorgeous," said Wellen. Named for her burned red flesh, Scarlett is certainly more like the feisty heroine of "Gone With The Wind." Wellen's letter caught the committee's eye because she told of losing her own cat seven years ago shortly after she herself was hurt in a car accident. "The physical and emotional pain I suffered made me more compassionate, and I vowed if ever allowed another cat in my home, it would be one with special needs," Wellen wrote. Scarlett is special all right. "We spoiled her rotten," said Dr. Bonnie Brown of North Shore Animal League. "Scarlett is used to being queen of North Shore Animal League." Scarlett even has a Web site devoted to her, featuring a poem (Scarlett - A Feline Heroine) entitled "Why is Everybody So Surprised That I Saved My Furry Five?" Undoubtedly, these cats will live in the lap of luxury. "My husband's building a cat condo 10 feet tall," said one proud new owner. "I went out and bought everything that wasn't tied down in the pet store," said another. Maybe, just maybe, this will be the end of Scarlett fever.

And here's that poem mentioned in the article I just quoted:
Why is Everybody So Surprised That I Saved My Furry Five?
Why is everyone so surprised that I saved my furry five; that in spite of pain and danger I brought them out alive? True my eyes were barely open but I heard their frantic wails; through smoke and flames I saw scorched ears and burning tails. Every trip was a burdened choice but I could make no other. The rescuers have called me cat...
but I am also "mother."

Sorry!! Scarlett makes me cry, too, as does the outpouring of love from the people. It is so touching when people realize that animals have "our" noble qualities, and love them for it.
Isn't the title funny, though? Like a cat would call her babies "My furry five." Tee-hee!

That is exactly the same kitty story from the TV show. I remember not just the cat but the vet that took her home. I'm sure this is not an isolated case. What a good thing for her to have been rescued as well as her kittens to find good homes.
