Bella was given to me by a friend. Bella was a nice and friendly cat. She did not want to be patted on the head. She liked to have her back rubbed. Snowflake and Bella were the best of friends, and now they are together again in heaven,
Bella liked sleeping on a shelf with boxes with nice clean fluffy towels for her to sleep on. She would sleep in a heated cat bed next to Snowflake in winter. When Snowflake died, she slept by herself. Bella always greeted me in the morning with a warm and welcoming meow.
Bella lost three pounds suddenly. I took her to my vet, who ran a blood test that returned positive for liver cancer. I fed her tuna canned in water and got her weight up to 8.4 lbs. She had trouble swallowing and could not eat dry cat food any longer. I had Bella put to sleep at my vet’s office because I did not want her to suffer and get worse again suddenly. Bella was 11 years and ten months of age.
Bella loved cat snacks and treats and ate away at them. In her later years, she could not eat any snacks or treats, but she could eat a tablespoon of tuna in the morning and at night.
My cat Russ was always her knight in shining armor. If any younger cat picked on Bella, he would put them in their place. It seemed like Russ told them to respect their elders and toe the line.
Bella was a gray-striped cat with orange coloring throughout her hair. I am honored to have shared my life with Bella’s life. I will never forget her dearly and have a special place for her. My vet gave a memorial to Bella to help cure cats with similar diseases or ailments. God bless the beast and the children.
