On the other hand, Dr. Lukarevski believed that since they were born in the wild, their natural wild instincts would come up to the surface again. Without a doubt, he was right, the progress was finally visible.

At two weeks old, the kittens have just opened their eyes, yet balance is still something they have to figure out. Such adorable clumsy fur balls! 

Helping them follow their natural instincts, like hunting, was crucial for the process. Most importantly, teaching momma Koshka to care for her babies.

Humans were unfortunately yet again the biggest threat to Koshka and her babies since they returned to nature. Together with her kittens, she had to learn not to trust them and to keep her distance.

Koshka passed her final test on a rainy day. While observed by Dr. Lukarevski and Gordon, Koshka managed to find shelter for her two kittens and bring them to safety.

With this, she proved that although her babies were taken away from her in the past, her motherly instincts remained. With many more challenges to come and many more lessons to be learned, I’m positive that Koshka will bravely face them all.

Lynx cats can live up to 15 years in the wild, so I genuinely hope Koshka and her fur balls will have an adventurous, happy, and safe life in the wild!
