Bella is not the same cat i adopted at all from the humane society well
she is, but she's not. She's very sweet and cuddley which you could see
at the humane society, but now she's more cuddley. She doesn't growl
when i pick her up in fact she leans in, and likes to climb onto my
shoulder to observe everything from high up.
She doesn't sleep on the top of the cabinets any more either. She's
found out how to get into my closet, and she's found herself a small
corner to go curl up in and sleep.
We can't let her sleep with us at night because she likes to sleep on
top of us or climb on us to find a comfortable spot, so she sleeps out
in the living room on the couch. She used to bang on our door at night,
sometimes she still does but telling her to go lay down and chasing her
away from the door seems to settle that.
She's a very very good kitty, you never have to yell at her just have to
raise your voice a bit to make her stop what ever she's doing if it's bad.
Her flee allergy flared up when i first braught her home but the allergy
shot seems to settle that down and the antibiotics they gave her seem to
have cured her infection. We got her tags and registered her with the
city as well, I gather some folks do some folks dont register the cats
with the city, but i figure with both of us being blind if she's
registered there's a much better chance of her being foundand with us
both being blind that's a good thing in case she ever gets out.
I got everything situated with her microchip as well. Changed her name
from Lola to bella there since that's what we call her. She never
responded to lola with us but that could be because we started calling
her bella from the beginning.
The humane society was feeding her a really expensive food can't
remember what it's called now, but come the first we're switching her to
felidae. Felidae is a canidae product, and canidae is one of the best
organic type petfoods i've found. inova was one of the best as well but
that gave most of my animals diaria where as canidae products dont. We
can get it off amazon for a really good price so i can give her a grain
free diet and that's good.
There's a lot of contriversey over grain free pet foods vs. pet foods
with grains and the way i see it cats are meat eaters and not grain
eaters so grain free is good. If i find it causes problems then I'll
switch it a bit to something with grains but i dont think there will be.
An observation: since i've had bella she's not once puked on my floor
and that's pretty impressive. All of my cats have always puked something
like once a week or twice or every couple weeks.....Either way it
varried. She's not puked once, and i think it's got something to do with
feeding her canned food. The bulk of her diet is canned food with enough
crunchies to satisfy her
I've already posted this or some of it in the past couple posts but i
needed to write something up for the humane society when they ask about
how she's doing so thought i'd write up a more detailed post about how
she's doing.
