I
found my cat Snowbell by pure accident. One hot summer day, I was playing
kickball with my brother in the yard, and the ball rolled down the hill. When
I went to retrieve it, I found a white cat! Since my family had never owned
any cats my mom wasn't fond of the idea of keeping her, but I persuaded her to
give Snowbell some milk (I didn't know cats weren't supposed to have milk).
Anyways, my cat was so dehydrated and skinny that she immediately drank the
milk. She started heading towards the woods, but I didn't want her to leave so
my brother and I put her in an old rabbit cage. My mom didn't like that idea
so we put the rabbit's leash on Snowbell and tied her up in our shed. While we
were eating dinner that night, my dad saw the shed door moving and asked what
was in there. When we told him, he yelled "You don't lock up a cat!". After
those failed attempts my mom agreed Snowbell could be an outdoor cat so we set
up a blanket in our dog's doghouse because she never used it. Snowbell came by
every day to get food from us. As it got colder I started to feel bad for
Snowbell so I snuck her into the basement to get warm. My mom agreed she could
live in the basement. As time went on, Snowbell slowly started gaining more
and more control of our house and currently she is an indoor cat only, unless
we supervise her outdoors.
Snowbell is one of the most loving cats you will ever meet. She likes to sleep
on my pillow and constantly reminds me of how it's a privilege because if I
move at all she jumps off. I love to dress Snowbell up, and I swear she must
have been a model in a former life because she lets me put any costume on
without complaint. She just sits there and lets me do my thing and take
pictures. Snowbell is truly an irreplaceable kitty!
