Belle

Here is my cat, Belle. She was a rescue from the Pasadena Humane Shelter....my Christmas present in December 2004. Bob, my twenty year old cat had died on December 1st. I wanted a mature cat, as it is more likely for the kittens to find a home. Unfortunately there are too many animals that are destroyed (killed) each year.
She is now nine years old. It was immediate love when we met each other in the shelter. She is a good hunter, treating me with a rodent every time I return from my vacation. She loves to garden with me. Her favorite gardening trick is to unearth the succulents I have just planted and carry them off in her mouth. Sometimes I find them. The cat behind her is Jumper, also nine.
