She's very pretty!

[Bellasmommy]

Thank you!
It bugs me that she has one set of ''eyebrows'' that are white, and the others are black.. It looks like she got too close to a fire or something and burnt the others off.

But that's my girl! lol

She's gotta Marilyn Monroe black patch above her mouth going on too.. Lol

What a beauty! Very sleek and dignified looking!:)

What's her story? Did she just show up at your new house?

(If you've already posted about this, a link to the thread will do, thanks)

Many times the animal that adopts you turn out to be one of the best. It is so neat when that happens.

Very pretty cat.

Special-

I posted before about it, but didn't really go into much detail. We were working on the house and had been noticing cat prints on everything, but never actually saw her. One day I walked in and looked up and she was sitting on one of the beams in the ceiling, but as soon as i looked she ran. I crawled up in a chair and started talking to her and she kept working her way closer, then Jacob and his little brother walked in and she was hiding again.. She would come to me so I could pet her but not if anyone was in the house. I gave her a can of cat food and a bowl of water and left.. Came back and it was gone so I left more.. Eventually she would come down while I was holding the food, and she'd rub up against my leg and purr constantly. She's gotten brave now though, she will walk up to anyone and nudge them. I put a litter box in the house and at first she went by it, so i picked it up and put it in the box, now she will go in the box or outside the house.

I posted pictures and no one called, she's been checked out by the vet and got a clean bill of health so I'm pretty happy. I'm glad she adopted us.

You were Chosen. She's a real beauty. Hurray for you for rescuing her!

And it's good Karma to have a cat choose you like that. Great way to start out in a new home. Congratulations!
