Bella is Bella

When we got Bella almost a year ago, she was a cute little kitten, but her markings weren't that special and she was rather scrawny looking. She really didn't live up to the meaning of her name, but in the name of Twilight, I pushed for  suggested that name anyway. In a way, she reminded me of the little kitten that the very old man and the very old woman from Millions of Cats adopt at the end of the book. Well, just like that kitten, Bella has grown into herself and has some really beautiful, distinctive markings. And she is just as sweet, and diminutive as the kitten in the book. She's my little shadow who jumps her upper body up to meet my hand when I bend down to stroke her. She has earned a special spot in all of our hearts.
