I am so sorry to read about Bella - at least she knew proper love at the end, and had a wonderful last few days, admired by us cat lovers.

RIP Beautiful Bella

Oh Ron I'm so sorry to hear Bella has gone.  She was a lucky girl to have found you so her last few weeks were full of all the things every little cat deserves ... love, warmth, food and care.

RIP Bella ... play hard at the bridge little lady xxx

I agree with Jezebel.  Thanks to you, her last days were gentle, warm, safe and comfortable.  Bless you for that kindness.

Safe journey Bella.  Have fun at the bridge.

Oh Ron.  :evillaugh:   I'd certainly say at around 20, she's earned her degree.   ;)  With Paddy  in his last year, we just fed him whatever he would eat, and he looked very similar to the beautiful Bella White, body-weight wise.    Hope you managed to grab your spot on the bed last night.   :hug:

I was so glad to read the update on dear Bella White   I had been wondering how she was progressing   I shouldn't worry about her weight as long as she seems OK otherwise   I have heard that kitten food is good for old cats as it is more easily digested  but I always fed senior food if it was accepted  I think love and care are best and I know she is getting plenty of that

 ;D :Luv:  I think Bella White suits her beautifully.  :)  She is just gorgeous as ever, whatever the gender.  She looks wonderful.  Reminds me so much of me darling Paddy when he was in his twilight years.    A pink rinse is pretty avante garde - very French, and very trendy.  ;)

He has been to the vet and he is in fact a she! We have given her the title of Ms Bella White as befits a lady of her advanced age!! She is as well as can be expected for a 20 (ish) year old! She also has a pink rinse. Then again all the white cats has. It's the litter dying their fur.

Ron, I think your strategy of not messing him about too much is a sound one.  I suspect what he craves more than anything is warmth, food and safety to snooze in peace.  Hope all goes well at the vet visit today.   :hug:

Great news  I am sure he/she will feel better for a gentle cleanup.  I imagine he has always been deaf as he is white  Has he got blue eyes?   Lots of love to Whitey
