:blow kiss:
What a lovely update, so pleased that you found room in your heart and home to squeeze her in and give her the chance of a loving and happy home :)
-
She's so pretty :Luv:
So glad to hear she's settled in well :)
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
After so much sadness in both your lives, it's wonderful to see you found one another. She's a darling. :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
She is gorgeous.
-
She's so pretty.
How is she getting on?
-
Shes fantastic, had a bit of a scare at the vet as he found a heart murmur. He said to try not to worry and he'll check it again when she gets her 2nd set of vaccinations. Shes really settling in now and her very cheeky personality is begining to show, shes started to get very playfull. Our daughters begining to believe bella is here to stay and has asked for a picture of bella to put in her bedroom with her picture of barney and shes started to talk about her nice memories of him and not just how much she misses him. I think bella has alot to do with that and our daughter is finally sleeping through and not waking up crying for barney. She is so spoilt, everytime we go out our daughter buys Bella something she really is the worlds most spoilt cat
-
That's lovely. So glad your daughter has started to smile again.
-
glad to hear she is being spoilt!
hopefully the heart murmer is a slight one, our vet does check them before neutering so I am assuming it can't be too noticable (although i know its easy to be anxious especially when you lost Barney too soon).
its really great to hear how Bella has helped to heal the hurt with your daughter, you are both a good advert for finding room for a cat in your life :)
attached is a picture of bella when she was here and another of her two kittens that i think were both rehomed already when you met Bella. One of our volunteers is a photographer and she couldn't resist taking a photo of Bella and her little ones.

Thanks sam, bella is such a sweetie, love the pics, and some more pics from me, according to out daughter bella is the bestest cat in the world and she loves her lots and lots :Luv:

Aaaawwwww aren't those babies so sweet (two and four legged versions) now I'm all broody again! :Luv2:
:Nooooo:
Delighted for Bella and your little girl, she looks so happy :)
-
This is just one of the bestest threads and so pleased tat Bella has helped to heal everyone ;D ;D
-
Quick update, bellas had her 2nd jabs and the vet said the heart murmur is there but he thinks shes had it all her life but that shes well in herself so to try not to worry too much and take her back if she has any issues. Pippa told the vet all about barney being in the stars and that she misses him and says hi to his star, but barney wouldnt want her to be sad and that he'd like it that bella makes her happy. I was nearly in tears and the nurse looked like she had a tear i think with the help of bella she is getting there. Even dh has started fussing over her so i think shes making a place in his hear too
-
.. and me with a tear.. gulp!
the photos are really super - thank you. especially the last one of Pippa and Bella. We sometimes get people thinking cats are not good with/for children. rot!!
-
What lovely pics :) Sounds like Bella has fitted in just perfectly :Luv2: Did the vet say what 'grade' the heart murmur was? They're normally graded 1-6 with one being the mildest. My childhood cat was the biggest, strongest, healthiest cat I'd ever seen and he had a heart murmur - it never caused him any issues whatsoever as it was a low grade one.
-
she is a unique and pretty kitty :Luv:
-
playtime :)

Awesome pictures :Luv2:
-
Brilliant ;D
Gosh I wisj Lupin was like this!
-
So lovely to see them playing together ;D
-
They love playing together although who wears out who first is anyones gues. I really cant believe how much bella and dd get, its really lovely to see them having fun together and i dont have to worry about bella or dd hurting each other as bella is such a softie she wouldnt lay a paw on pippa and pippa is so gentle with bella
-
super pictures :)
and hasn't pippa grown in hardly any months!
i was wondering whether we could use the last pic of bella and pippa nose to nose (or others) in our photo archive? which would mean it might go on the website or be used in publications. totally up to you.
-
Well isn't this a thread to warm the coldest of hearts? The look on your daughter's face says it all, and I love the piccie of them nose to nose, "kissing" :Luv2: :Luv:
-
Thanks everyone, sam your more than welcome to use any of the pics anything that helps the rescue is fine by me x
-
bella sunbathing today, later on she was sat at the top of the slide looking like she was going to go down it, but she decided against it

Just gorgeous! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
She's really filled out hasn't she :)
-
She really is bella ;D ;D ;D
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: Sooooo relaxed! :Luv:
-
Just gorgeous! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
She's really filled out hasn't she :)
That photo made us realise that she may well be looking very loved (dh said tubby) so think we're going to cut back on her treats a bit as she is a small cat and being overweight cant be doing her any favours. Think they run a weight clinic at the vets so may take her just to check
-
She is so lovely and such a bond to treasure with your daughter :) The nose to nose pic is stunning :Luv:
-
not a great pic but think dd's face says it all

-
It's a lovely picture :Luv: they are both beautiful x
-
it really is amazing how well they get on, dd loved Barney and he loved her but he did scratch her a few times when he'd had enough. Bella on the other hand has never once scratched her and they completley adore each other. dd does still talk about Barney and sent him a balloon the other week to play with (she let it go to his star) but shes always saying barney did a good job helping her pick bella. At the moment shes training bella to be more dog and has taught her to sit (only when she has a bowl of food in her hand mind) chase things and fetch and bella is putting up with it so well, although she drew the line at rolling over, even when dd demonstrated it :rofl:
-
It's a lovely picture :Luv: they are both beautiful x
They certainly are, and it's lovely to know - and see - how much they love each other.
-
got out the shower and went into the bedroom heard a noise in the bathroom and this is what i found, wonder if she thinks she needs a wash :)

:evillaugh: :evillaugh: Fab photo
-
What adorable photos! It's lovely to see how well Bella and your daughter get along. It certainly seems like Bella is helping to heal the hurt of Barney's passing.
The nose to nose photo is just perfect.
-
bella this morning decided she wanted to go camping, and squeezed her self into dd's bears tent, the tent is tiny how she fitted in i'll never know :rofl:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I don't know why but I've not been on this thread for ages and reading it today has given me a lovely warm fuzzy feeling. :)
Fabulous pics and its lovely to see how well Bella and your daughter get along. Also so sweet that she sent Barney a balloon.
-
Thank you, bella is amazing she really has helped dd cope with losing barney. She fits so well into our family I cant help but think barney had a paw involved somewhere. Cant believe we've had her for nearly a year, its a year tomorrow since we lost barney time goes so fast
-
Great pictures!

had a poorly dd this weekend and bella has been keeping a close eye on her, she's spent lots of time curled up with her :Luv2:
-
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Now isn't that just the tonic a poorly person needs? :wow: :Luv: :hug: :hug: Glad to see Nurse Bella was taking her duties very seriously and keeping - a very close eye - on her patient. :rofl: :Luv2:
-
all weekend she's been at most a foot away from dd, think the paramedic scared bella a bit of friday as she was cowering under the table when he was seeing to dd. I shut her downstairs as normal on a night and she just cries until i let her sleep outside dd's room :Luv:
-
What a delight to see the amazing bond these two have. My daughter was the same with her cat Kennedy. We used to call him the nurse cat! It will colour her whole life and all the better for it.
Get well soon DD xx
