Leah was with me thru many life events, and I know she was brought to me to help me be strong, like she was. She sometimes acted brave and spoiled but she was loyal and kind to everyone. She pretended to chase cats, brave in public but sometimes secretly afraid of them. She didnt care that we moved out of my house to my moms after my divorce, because she didnt like being stuck in that backyard, and would rather ride shotgun with me in the car. I miss her so much because she was loyal, loving and active with me. I found a way to take her with me to work, she was very smart with people and knew who the "good ones" were, and protective and calming to my grandmother, and the whole family loved her. I learned alot from her openly caring yet brave ways, and she groomed herself more than any cat.

Casey, Sophia, Winnie, and sometimes Maggie. She also accepted my friends dogs. Liked the dogs across the street.
