Making Cumin Happy

19 September, I drove to Jusco Sri Kembangan at lunch time with the objective to get food which Cumin might like. So here I am at the supermarket, shopping for apples, baby food and strawberry yogurt. All these stuff for CUMIN!

Anyway, I couldnt wait to get home. The minute I finished my class, I decided to skip gym so that I could go home and entertain Cumin. When I got home she was in her coconut shell and peaked at me when she heard me near her cage.

I took a teaspoon full of baby food, put it on my finger and tried to make her lick. She took a quick nip of my finger and went into hiding. I was trying very hard not to pull away coz this was supposed to teach her that I cant be bullied and she cant have things her way even if she bites me! Ok..so she hates baby food! I picked up the cat kibble and brought it near her hiding place. She pop her head just fast enuf to snatch the food from my finger!

I'm tired and dont really have the patience to do this so I told myself, 1 more try! went to the kitchen, got a piece of grape, mash it onto my finger and brought it to her. This time she walk to my palm and I manage to bring her out. It was very ticklish as she tried ti walk to my shoulders. (A note to myself, never wear a singlet or anything sleeveless while handling sugar gliders).

So from last night's session, I discovered some of her likes and dislikes which will be listed below and added from time to time as I 'bond' with her.
