Bella
At the end of 2001 I went for a visit to the pound to see what cats they had there. There was one little kitten there, and I fell in love.
She was to be my frist inside cat, poor mum and dad wernt too sure on that, she slept in dads workshop, but was inside during the day. She did manage to get out a few times, driving me into a mad panic, but we always managed to find her, now I have moved out into my own place, she loves it, has run of the house all day and night!
Bella is the queen of the house, she now lives with the 2 dogs and another cat, she spends most of her time sleeping in the sun, and when Atlas is inside, she is usually snuggled up with him! She has done this from the day he came home with me!
Fanta
Fanta came to me in 2004, she was about one year old and had been dumped, she had been abused, was VERY scared of everything and had a broken tail. I was not actually looking for a cat, but when I saw her at the pound, I knew she had to come home with me.
The pound were a bit worried as she was so shy, but I knew, with time, she would be fine. It took her 4 months to come out of the laundry and start to want to spend time with me, but she is now the best little cat you could ever have. She is still very shy around strangers, and isnt really into the dogs like Bella is!!
Both my cats are desexed and live inside. I believe that all cats should be either indoors, or in a cat run. NOT roaming the streets and annoying neighbours.
