Belle, the Cat of the Day
Name: Belle
Age: One year old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Longhair
Home: Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada
 
   This is our beautiful little, Belle. She was saved from the SPCA and welcomed into our home on July 27th of last year. She reminds me of our beloved Nova who went missing last July 5th (a week before our wedding) more and more every day. It was a sad time, and though we went to the SPCA to only drop more photos off of Nova in case she showed up there, my husband wanted to see the kittens that were there. I was not keen on the idea, thinking it was too soon to get another, but when we saw Belle in the cage, climbing up the bars and looking at us with those precious eyes. We knew we had to get her. I was overwhelmed with emotion, but seeing Belle interact with her big brother, Thor (who is four years old) made me happy that he had a play mate again.

    Belle is a happy kitty, who enjoys being brushed, sitting on your lap while you're using the bathroom(LOL),tormenting her brother, fitting herself into small baskets or bowls, playing catch with her mouse, and especially having Thor clean her. She will snuggle her head under his chin and it works for her every time. He will automatically start licking her, doesn't matter if he's tired or not. She loves spending time in the basement - in dark places. She keeps to herself most of the time, but when she wants to be loved she lets you know. She has a special little bed in our bedroom that she has slept in since the day she came home. She comes to bed when we do. When we are lying in bed and Belle walks over us, you can't even feel it because she's so lightweight! Now, Thor on the other hand...a big difference. Belle is our special girl and I'm glad she came into our lives.
