In the Chinese city of Wuhan, a cat spent 40 days at home alone, gave birth to kittens and ate all the fish in the aquarium after its owner was hospitalized with a coronavirus infection, writes "Lenta.ru".
The owner of a British shorthair cat named Le-Le said that his whole family of seven people became infected with the coronavirus on the eve of the Chinese New Year - until January 25. By that time, the pet was at the last stage of pregnancy.
When all family members were hospitalized, the owner of Le-Le did not ask others to look after the cat, because in his apartment it was possible to get a deadly infection.

As a result, Le-Le was left alone in an empty apartment. The cat managed to survive thanks to two open bags of food that its owner had left before leaving for the hospital.
“I kept turtles and fish in the aquarium on the glassed balcony. There was also filtered water that the cat could drink, ”the owner explained. Together with his wife, he closed all the windows and doors, in addition to the balcony, before leaving for treatment.
“After that, we had no idea what was happening in the apartment,” he admitted.
After 40 days, his wife was discharged from the hospital. She returned home and found that Le-Le gave birth to four kittens and feels great. However, the pet ate all the fish in the aquarium.
“Fortunately, the turtles survived this test,” the cat owner said. During his absence, Le-Le lost twice as much.
