Zlabya

Zlabya is the heroine from The Rabbi's Cat.

The Rabbi's Cat
Zlabya is the rabbi's daughter and the cat's mistress. She loves her pet dearly and is determined to help her father. As the cat says, "her name is like a honeyed pastry." Zlabya's bond with her cat is tested when she marries a French rabbi, but that hasn't dampened her caring nature and her strong will.
