![]() ![]() 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. And they'll come with a unique personality ready-made.My Leela is the same way! In the winter, we have small field mice come into the house to get warm. Every cat rehomed by us will come microchipped, vaccinated and neutered (where possible).
