It's been 9 months since I adopted my lovely Bella. She now stands on her hind legs when I'm at my computer, touches my face. She purrs in my face in the morning. She loves me!!! And I, her. If Sherry is here, TRA-LA!!! She is such a beautiful cat, and pure, pure Bengal -- the mischief never ends. She tires of toys almost immediately. She does love roll-y things, especially pens and pencils. I find that the more ordinary the item, the better. Expensive cat toys are a waste. She's so darned smart - you know about her sheet-scratching to make me feed her. I'd love to train her to take walks with me. Her former owner did that when she was a kitten but he stopped since the streets of Elizabeth, NJ were so filthy. I'd love to take her walking through the hallways of our building. These hallways are very long and spacious. But of course she HATES HATES HATES halters. I got a kitty carriage and I can take her for walks that way. But. But. But....And she and Jamie are best buddies now. They even sleep very close to each other on our bed! It's so much fun to watch them frolic and chase each other. So: all's well that ends well, I guess!
