LEAKE COUNTY, MS (WLBT) – Emmy, the cat, gets my nomination for kitty mother of the year.
Not that Emmy doesn’t just lie around like other cats. And occasionally scratch her claws on something you wished she wouldn’t. But there arose a situation around the time she had her kittens that Emmy has stepped up to the plate and helped solve. Well, she’s taken in a baby squirrel and is providing a plate for the little squirrel at her table along with the rest of the kittens.
“She’s very protective of it. If it starts to move and she don’t like where its going she’ll reach up and pull it back and start licking it and taking care of it like she would one of her kittens,” said Jim Watkins.
Jim Watkins and his wife Karen of Carthage have helped organize Central Mississippi T.A.I.L.S.
“It stands for taking animals into loving shelters,” said Jim Watkins.
That’s how Jim and Karen got Emmy and her extended family. Emmy’s owner lived where she couldn’t have pets and called her vet to see what she could do with the new family.
