   Introducing Anabella (aka Bella Cruella)! Do you know that feeling when you swam too far into the sea not measuring your strength, and it starts to be hard even to hold your head above the water?

    That's how I felt when I took little Anabella in who was then just barely one month old (born on July 20, 2013), but she already had already caught a virus which was quite dangerous even to grown up cats, as every year you need to vaccinate them against it. She was already quite weak and too small as her muscles weren't able to grow up fully, and she struggled even to stand on her all fours. She wasn't eating and drinking even if I gave her a bottle. To be honest, I really lost it one moment when doctor told me what she had and how much medicine she needed. It would be a minimum of a four-day treatment and every day the same amount of medication needed to be pumped into her tiny body. I couldn't watch how all those five needles with liquid went into her little fragile body not only because I was afraid of needles in general, but also because I couldn't imagine how frightening and painful life must have been for her even before this - starvation, dehydration, weakness, high temperature, sore throat, and I didn't even know how long she had had this virus.

    Although now she is half the size she should be at this age, she is very curious and brave. She has grown from a really cute little kitten to a magnificent and beautiful creature with her own model-ish characteristics. Her presence can't be ignored or else she will show you how silly, beautiful an at the same time childish she can be. You don't need a TV to loose an hour or two - just by watching her play or chasing her tail! And of course, this picture is one I took while trying to wrap presents for Christmas with her "help" - typical kitten help!

    I can just cross my fingers and hope that every little soul will have a saviour, who will fight till the end and won't allow another life to perish needlessly! For those who wish to read the full story of how we struggled to survive till today, can read my blog post.

   Wishing you a really warm and cozy Christmas,
   Madara and Bella
