Bella has found a great place to relax. She is on the couch with many pillows. She also likes to sleep on the back of my lounge chair with her legs sprawled out and with one paw in my hair.

Bella was born on January 24,2020, near guess of birth date by a veterinarian. The zodiac sign is Aquarius and describes Bellas personality completely. She is a free spirit and can be a bit rebellious.

Calico cats are also known as more feisty and have more attitude than other breeds. Pet owners have referred to their Calico cats as having a… catitured! Calico cats have been known to challenge their pet parents as well as anyone that gets their fur up!. There actually has been a study of calico cats which documented this fact. A Google search will give more information.

Bella, my calico cat, has trained me to buy the only cat food she likes. I tried many, but only a science diet will do and forget the toys I bought her. She only likes the triangle stuffed piece of cloth and a black mouse that came from the shelter with her.

My daughter Sue is coming for a few days’ visit now that Bella has settled in. It was a warm summer evening as I sat waiting on my patio for my daughter to arrive. Bella was sitting by the screen door looking out, just waiting for a chance to escape.
