I got Mixie when I was 7 years old in Kuching, Sarawak. When my family moved back to Selangor the next year my parents gave her to another family to adopt.
I was heartbroken.
My dad decided to surprise me by flying her all the way from east Malaysia for me. Not only that, but she had 3 kittens with her.
Those were the only babies she had, after that we had her spayed.
She's a very independent house cat. Never very affectionate but always wanted to be in the company of people. She slept on my bed all through childhood and teens...all the way to college. In her final years, I had to even help her jump onto the bed (she was so old)
She was a great friend for many years.
Mixie passed away at the age of 16, due to cancer. She will always be remembered.
