When my father and I were still living in KL area, I came across this very skittish kitten at my friend's clinic. She had been abandoned there, apparently covered in fleas and not in good condition.
As I came across her, all I wanted to do was pick her up and love her.
I decided to adopt her, but she had to be spayed first. It took a while to bring her home, she got sick after the spay and when I finally got her home, her sickness got worse before getting better.
Mieka possibly has autism. She doesn't act in the same way as my other cats. Doesn't make me love her any less. All my cats have gone through some form of trauma and I love them all equally. After awhile they deal better, but it takes time.
I've had Mieka now for quite a few years and whilst she has grown in many ways 😉.
(She's my little roly-poly!)
We've bonded well and I would worry if we were to be separated.
As for all my cats, we've gone through tough times together.
