Lela is 4 years old and a very vocal cat. She doesn't always sound like she is in a good mood but it's just her talk. She loves to play and come to get attention. She can be very nervous at first but if given the time she comes out to see what is going on. Lela is fine with older cat savvy children, we have been told she is very good with respectful dogs but this has not been tested in foster home but we recommend she is the only cat in the house.
