Ling Ling (Greta Chi) is the devious feline in the 1965 episode "Ling Ling" for the TV series "Bewitched".
In the episode, Darrin Stephens (Dick York) is experiencing problems finding a model for his latest ad campaign, "The Jewel of the East". Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery) decides she wants to help, and changes a stray Siamese cat that visits her in her back yard, into a beautiful Oriental woman which the agency is looking for as a model.
However, Samantha forgets to take into account the persistent feline nature, and all hell brakes loose. The firm's young photographer Wally (Jeremy Slate) falls in love with Ling Ling. Ling Ling enjoys the attention that Wally has showered upon her, and much prefers it to the scrounging around the neighborhood for scraps of food. Darrin and Samantha each attempt to break up the new couple without success. Eventually, Samantha forces Ling Ling to come clean about her true nature when she spikes Ling Ling's drink with catnip.
At the end of the episode, Gladys (Alice Pearce), the Stephens neighbor, puts out a saucer of milk for the cat as a way of apologizing for accusing the animal of eating her bird earlier in the episode. Ling Ling, who is still in human form comes to lap at the milk, which Gladys sees right before Samantha changes her back into a cat. Before she can complain to her husband Abner, Ling Ling is changed into a cat.
