She is one of many cats who are enjoying <strong><em>Catscapades, True Cat Tales<\/em><\/strong>\u2014especially when her \u201cperson,\u201d Karen, drops treats on the cover.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what Karen says about her lovely girl:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss Bella is a British Shorthair, hence the proper name, \u2018Miss\u2019 Bella! I adopted her from Forever Home Pet Rescue of Simi Valley, Calfiornia after meeting her brother at a pet adoption fair. A breeder had gone out of business and dumped nearly 100 cats on various rescue groups. Miss Bella was one of them! A volunteer came up to Santa Barbara to do a home check and brought along two kitties for me to meet. Miss Bella ended up running and hiding under the bed and we couldn\u2019t get her out, so we had to adopt her!!! Since she had very little human contact during her 2 \u00bd years at the \u2018kitty mill,\u2019 she was shy about being petted and terrified of being picked up (which continues to this day). Even so, she was a sweet, calm kitty and she fit in from Day 1. She awakens me every morning by pulling the covers off my head and kissing my ear and then moves on to kiss my fingers. I wake up giggling every morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Karen Stevens, founder of All for Animals<br \/>\n http:\/\/www.allforanimals.com<\/p>\n<p>Editor\u2019s note, Miss Bella no longer hides, even when strangers come to admire her. She has become a wonderful companion for Karen. It took Karen a while to decide to adopt another pet after her beautiful cat, Cassidy, died. Read the story of how Cassidy had been abandoned in a warehouse district in Santa Barbara, California and how Karen rushed to his rescue one rainy morning.
