Our family so far... chapter 1 of 8... Princess Bella

Miss Bella just turned 4 on September 27. I can't believe she's already 4. The first couple of years were kinda challenging. Her mother is a house cat and her father is a feral cat that lives in fields. She always has been more "wild" than domestic. When she was a baby, she would attack anything that moved... yes, that seems absolutely normal for a kitten, but on top of that, if you were eating popcorn, she would growl at you and swat the popcorn out of your hand so that she could eat it, while growling! She also did this with Jolly Ranchers and any kind of fruity sucker. She knew who liked her and who she liked, she peed on Arnie's shoulder and would make evil scary faces at Lindsay. To this day, when Lindsay tries to pet her, Bella will hiss and scratch at her. I don't know why this is and I've tried to tell her to be nice, but she just won't listen! In Bella's older years she has had to adjust to quite a bit of change, moving to and from San Diego, being forced to accept new roommates, Rocky, Rustad AND Kaia! To say the least, she has done an awesome job and I'm so very proud of her. If you notice in the top corner pic, her and Rocky are laying together on the rug! I NEVER thought that this would happen. She still hisses at Kaia, and probably for good reason, but for the most part is learning to accept having to share living quarters with her.

This is the first chapter out of eight more to come. Please check back next week for all about Rocky! What a sweet soul, you won't want to miss it!
