Meela,
along with her two sisters, was found the morning of Thanksgiving in
2013.My dad had left the house for last minute food (turkey lol) shopping.
When he got back home his exact words to me were, now I had just sat down to
eat my-not-so-wonderful breakfast (I can't cook for the life of me), and my
dad said to me, "We have a little problem ..."
I said, "Um what is it?"
He emphasized, "... but, there's nothing we can do about it ..."
I replied, "Okay, but what is it?!" (the suspense was killing me).
He finally said, "There are three little kittens ..." and he barely could
finish his sentence when I quickly ran through the kitchen and darted out the
front door. So, you can imagine what happened next. Of course I sat down,
held them and played with them. I could see my dad shaking his head, thinking
Nooo don't do it but, between you and me I think he secretly wanted me to go
out there or he would have never told me about the kittens in the first
place. Unfortunately as soon as after we brought them into our home things
went downhill quick.
The three kittens were infected with worms as many feral cats are. It got
very messy, especially for Meela, she had the worst of it. Without spilling
graphic details, Meela was in a lot of pain and you could easily hear it in
her meows. After several visits to the vet, we finally got the kittens worm
free and healthy. Now, Meela and her sisters are living comfortably in our
humble home and are definitely enjoying the indoor life.
Meela, I would say, is a rather more independent cat. She likes the attention
and loves to get petted, but on her terms of course. She is adorable, funny,
beautiful, and sassy cat. I call her the Princess because she acts like
royalty at times lol. She is very talkative. You could almost have a
conversation with her.
I had a touching moment once with Meela that i will share with you. I had a
pet hedgehog who one day out of the blue just stopped walking.. I didn't
understand what was happening. Her back legs just seem to give out on her. It
most-likely was Wobbly hedgehog syndrome. Long story short she died in my
hands that night. I was very emotional over it. Meela came inside my room,
sniffed the hedgehog, lied down beside me and placed her paw on me. It was
the most comforting feeling as though telling me everything is okay. I felt
she had spiritually returned the favor after everything I had done for her
when she was ill. She is a very special cat.
