We went to town yesterday, had mothers day lunch with my SIL. While were eating, this cutie pie kitten showed up at her door. My SIL said she's been around since they moved in about 3 weeks ago. I was stunned when my dh said she should come home with us. We already have 2 cats, a dog, and a guinea pig. He's usually the stickler about no more pets. But, she is so skinny. We felt so bad, clearly looking for food wherever she could find it. So...we took her home. He name is Bella. She hates the dog, but the dog is so sweet, it's just a matter of time before they are best buds. The jury is out on our other 2 cats. lol

She is very pretty, doesn't take long to get a houseful, I have 4 I have taken in.

She is so cute. Glad you adopted her. She looks like my cat Dukie, but he is all of 14 lbs. now.

Yes, her name is Bella. Actually my daughter named her. It took her about 5 seconds to pick a name, after we told her that we would take her home with us.

nativetexan 05-14-2012 02:04 PM

oh, so very cute. She will love your home and all in it. i took in a skinny mama cat and her two girls. they love it here. No dog though,he, he.

Tink's Mom 05-14-2012 02:32 PM

Bella is beautiful...what a wonderful gift for you....

roseirish48 05-14-2012 02:35 PM

dont worry about other cats--they will teach her the pecking order and then everybody will be happy. take it from a pro who has ben adopted by many a stray cat and has had one of those adopted strays bring home a little stray

nivosum 05-14-2012 03:26 PM

She has beautiful markings.

yngldy 05-14-2012 07:58 PM

She is very pretty!! Love the white spots on her nose.

DebsShelties 05-15-2012 03:46 AM

Very pretty kitty

kuntryquilter 05-15-2012 04:39 AM

She is adorable, Bella is a good name for her, she looks so regal. Can you tell I am a cat person?

quiltbuddy 05-15-2012 05:02 AM

Our cat of 20 years looked just like her and he came from a parking lot in Mississippi. He had just went to kitty heaven this past Saturday. At one point this cat weighed 25# and the vet said he would never live very long at that rate! This makes me want to get another.

JanieH 05-15-2012 05:27 AM

What a beautiful kitten! Be sure to give dh a hug!

sewnsewer2 05-15-2012 06:31 AM

OMG how could you not take her home? She's adorable!

Caswews 05-15-2012 06:46 AM

Isn't it amazing how cats adopt us ? we have had many strays that have stayed around for a long time before their journey to the Rainbow Bridge.

Latrinka 05-15-2012 07:48 AM

Awe, what a sweetie! I woulda done the same thing, who can resist a sweet lil kitty?!

crtwelvecats 05-15-2012 11:05 AM

ahhhhh what a cutie. lucky kitty she has a good home now.

tesspug 05-15-2012 03:23 PM

Looks like she's looking for the "mouse."

Mariposa 05-15-2012 03:27 PM

Bella is a cutie! So glad you found each other! My cat Kiki, did the same- showed up at my back door. I couldn't resist. :)

hensandhollyhocks 05-15-2012 03:27 PM

So happy you gave her a home.

Sandra-P 05-15-2012 06:31 PM

Wow! She is a beauty and her eyes are a unique color. I am so glad you took her in and she now has a good home. Thanks for posting.

birdlady 05-15-2012 07:25 PM

I will donote a few more if you want them. LOL I have 10 kittens that are 2 weeks old. The neighbors tom cat came in through my doggie door to help himself to my two females who do not go outside. Must have been very brave cause I have all these little dogs in the house. LOL

callen 05-16-2012 04:37 AM

For a stray she sure looks like she is in good condition & soooo pretty.

coopah 05-16-2012 04:40 AM

Ahhhh...she's such a cutie. Irresistable!

quiltaroni 05-16-2012 05:18 AM

From one softie to another, well done

marshaKay 05-16-2012 05:42 AM

Bella is so regal looking. Thanks for being a rescue Mom.

We thought so too. My SIL has been 'caring' for her for about a month. She must have been doing a good job. :)

llong0233 05-16-2012 08:34 AM

Oh my goodness, she's beautiful. So dainty and elegant. The touch of white on her nose and her golden eyes make her very special. She's lucky to have been found by you; and you're lucky to have her. What a win, win for everyone.

anniesews 05-16-2012 11:32 AM

Isn't Bella the lucky little onbe?

burchquilts 05-16-2012 02:36 PM

"Bella" is the perfect name for her since she's such a beauty! How come animals don't ever show up on my doorstep? Leo would welcome them with open paws! We live 6 miles past nowhere so you'd think they would. Maybe we're just too far out in the sticks.

Sheila_H 05-16-2012 02:42 PM

She is absolutely adorable I can hear her purring from here - great name too!

damaquilts 05-18-2012 08:46 AM

Bella is adorable .. Isn't it funny how They seem to find US !
