PORT SULPHUR (AP) -- A Port Sulphur woman was attacked by her pet leopard but 
survived after her brother-in-law killed the cat with a shotgun blast, the 
Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office said. 
Julie Miles, 33, was undergoing surgery at West Jefferson Medical Center for 
cuts to the face and head inflicted by the 3-year-old male black leopard, said 
her mother, Shirley Alesich. She had raised the leopard since it was a cub. 
Miles was inside the backyard cage at her home Monday petting the 
approximately 100-pound cat for about five minutes, and was just about to leave when "he 
got hold of her," Alesich said.
