I requested syrup for Mia cuz I know I cannot hold her mouth open as big to feed pills.
I can't even slip the syringe in her mouth... Nak bukak sikit jer, she bites closed her mouth and bit my finger... All her feets will scratch all over you... Her hind legs can reach your hand holding her head you know...
Dapat bagi skit the syrup last night, but she spit everything out bit by bit till the syrup looks like "buih" coming out from her mouth...

Mia has been with us for 2 months 2 weeks now.
The first month, she is caged and let out for short periods only.
During that time, she will always act "baik"... Maybe cuz being caged...
After dismantle the cage and let her free roam, she cannot be touched at all... Nak stroke-stroke pun she don't want...
Playtime with Oren is okay, but not too much lah... However, Mia does look for Oren when she cannot find him cuz he is cuddling with us on the sofa or in the room...
I cannot say Oren does not like Mia, he adores her... I've seen him licking Mia when she sit still for 30 seconds(yes, Mia cannot sit still longer than 30 seconds unless she is sleeping...)
I've kept Mia this long because of Oren...
But all her aggression when it comes to bathing time and meds time, is really hard... There is not a time that I did not bleed atleast a little during these times...
She is not meant for an house cat... She prefers to be on her own in the outdoors...
Plus the vet cost for her alone has been more than Oren's...
I'm in a dilemma...
When we wanted to adopt Mia, I knew she looks wilder than other cats there and we were even advised to choose another cat... But my husband insisted on her due to her color and look... Sighhh... Now see what happened?
Baru think that we should've taken a kitten instead

Sighhhhhhh...

yea getting kitten is better than adult. because you will know kitten behavior better than the adult one.
Mia is so similar to Adik. You imagine i have been taking care of Adik the orphan for 1 year + now

imagine the problem you have happened to me for 1 year + already eheheheh.. She is ok with Abang, Kakak, Mya, and Sky. The cats she saw since kitten. but others, not really interested to be friends

Adik is a wild lone ranger, i do not have to stroke, play, feed her. She will do all that by her self. Very independent. And the good side of having her, she is the "makcik cleaner" ehehehehe. And the best part, she do not dare to scratch or bite me, maybe she know that i have been milking her since born.
Many people want to adopt Adik, but i do not give her out. Due to her extra marvelous behavior (kinda bad one), i do not dare the nightmare come to them, then the next day they leave adik outside. ouch!
