Took about 2 weeks before they became friends.Īnyway, he is now 4 months old and has tired my house up. Someone said you need to tired him out and play with him more. After a few weeks he got stronger and then started biting us. We had to feed him around the clock and do everything for him. If you want to see her pictures, she’s on twitter…I’ve got quite a few I need to post tomorrow of her weeks adventures…and yes, she’s spoiled rotten, has more toys than we can even donate to the local shelter.and she deserves EVERY BIT of the spoiling, and love she gets…and gives back 100x more! We live in a VERY small town, so, as I said, most people know about Leela and know it’s just the two of us here.

She also LOVES the local firefighters who worked with me so she wouldn’t be afraid of them if something were to happen again-whenever she sees the lights or hears the sirens, she bounces from window to window & wakes me up if I’m asleep. Between her beginnings, (she STILL “asks” to be rocked sometimes), the fact it’s always me and her, AND I trained her to “help” me-in case I fall or need help in another room, she’ll bring me her phone. The kids all talk to her every morning, and some afternoons and most adults around here know Leela’s name, but not mine. Obviously, she made it and because I’m disabled and rarely leave the house, (although in warm weather, she LOVES putting her “pretty dress” on and going across the street to the park where she plays with kids.and drives local dogs NUTS! She LOVES giving kids hugs and kisses and I had to put a cat tree in my front window where there’s a bus stop. I was told Leela wouldn’t make it and basically lived in my rocking chair for over a month, giving her IV Fluids, tube feeding her, and rocking & singing to her. I think Leela is super special though because when a friend brought her to me as a VERY sick abandoned 3-4wk old baby-I had JUST been released from 4 weeks in the hospital, (heart attack), and had lost everything in a fire just 2 months before-including my 9yr old silver kitty. They had quite the childhood as I co-founded a wildlife rescue & rehab back home, long before they were even born. But my kids would be the first to tell you-I’ve ALWAYS had “strange” animals…to put it mildly. As a Vet Tech since 1978, I’ve known a LOT of cats over the years-although Leela is only my 2nd indoor only kitty. Leela is a VERY strange, but VERY LOVING Ginger. 🙄😸 (long story)Īnyways, back to mice.she also likes chipmunks (“big Mousey”) that got into the house last year and they batted nuts back and forth in my kitchen. I sent some of her Chinese friends pictures on twitter, but don’t remember if I posted them to her twitter yet-she has a LOT of fans in China and they send her things so often, my mailman knocks on the door to announce “Another delivery from China for Princess Leela”. We had this same argument a few days ago, after I first put it together, and I was FaceTiming my daughters-who were in hysterics. We’ve had some arguments about this-yes, Leela argues with me either audibly or whispering her mews & meows, and stomping her paw if it goes on for more than a minute.in fact, we just had one a little while ago when she wanted her dinner on my new over-the bed table.

Leela is 5 and ever since she was a kitten I.’ve watched with awe at her playing with them, (she LOVES putting one in a small box and dragging the poor thing around the house!), feeding them-bringing them her cookies, napping with them.and I HAD to draw the line with her gently carrying them in her mouth like a baby, and hopping up on OUR (HER) bed.

My Leela is the same way! In the winter, we have small field mice come into the house to get warm.
