I had a feeling that she was going to forever be attached to me. I'm not saying that I didn't want her, but I just feel awful because my fiancé was the one who found her and begged me to get her and of course I fell in love with her the moment I saw her but I knew he really wanted this to be his...

The last time I posted about Leila, it was like she was a different cat. We had her for two and a half months before she had the courage to come out from beneath the couch! Her personality changed RAPIDLY - for the better!! I think she chose me as her human. She wants to be with me at all times...

My apologies. I used the word "adopted" twice but to be clear, I purchased Leila from a breeder in Brooklyn, NY. Oriental Shorthairs are typically $800-$1,200 and she was selling my little Leila for $350. It made sense when I walked in because she just had way too many kittens. The woman seemed...

Hello! My name is Elizabeth and I'm a first time kitten owner! I grew up with three cats but Leila was the first I ever adopted myself. Leila was a 6 month old Oriental Shorthair when I adopted her. The woman I bought her from had nearly 30+ kittens in her care, so I'm thinking Leila didn't have...
