Update on Sox, now Mia

Tweet

Here is an update on one of the bottle babies I told you about last fall. Meowy Greetings! Thought you'd like to know how miss Mia is doing. She has doubled in weight since I brought her home. She has also gotten a LOT fluffier. She seems to be deliriously happy. She is no longer coming to me for reassurances & her "comforting" nursing on me has all but stopped. She now occupies her days & nights with the curiosity, exploration & investigation appropriate for her age. I'm still trying to teach her that the kitchen counters are "off limits" & claw sharpening is not allowed on the furniture. The other cats seem to have gotten very comfortable with her. Norton (my mixed tabby male) absolutely adores her! The two younger males play with Mia regularly & she keeps them on their toes! You would not recognize her today. She's become strong & healthy & completely mischeivous. Mia still comes & lays on my chest & purrs for me almost everyday. She has most everything a cat could want--lots of toys & friends to play with, plentiful food & water, lots of places to birdwatch & loving humans. What more could a cat want? She may even surprise us & grow from a "runt" to be larger than any of us would have guessed. If she is indeed mostly MaineCoon, she will not reach her full size until she is 2-3 years old & she could weigh as much as 12 pounds at that point (the average weight of a female MaineCoon). She gets more beautiful & fluffy soft each passing month & I love her dearly. Thank you for being a part of keeping her alive & allowing me to make her a part of my family's lives. Mia's mom Pix attached. As a size perspective, the floor tiles are 12" squares **We are guessing that the new owner decided she was part mainecoon and that the seperation thing must be from being seperated from her brothers.**
