Bad, Bad Bella

Maggie and Bella playing in a manner that resulted in the ultimate destruction of this particular cozy critter retreat.

Next Friday, the Bad Bella cat has her big vet appointment. She is scheduled for her special kitty visit to the vet. The free kitten is now four months old and needs to be "fixed" before she comes into season. There needs to not be a season. There definitely needs to not be a whole herd of little bad cats.
Bad Bella has been very busy. She is no longer making Miss Libby scream by leaping at her from assorted furniture and hidey-holes. Now she busies herself with climbing the Christmas tree. She reaches out and swipes the children's ornaments which she has carried off to who-knows-where. I did find a stuffed bear from the tree in one of the dog's beds and another ornament was laying in the middle of the master bedroom floor. (If I can just find the rest of the ones from the bottom half of the tree, we can get those put away before there are any further disappearances.)

Bella is still maintaining her excellent relationship with the doggies. Buster is still horribly uncomfortable with his Bella-assigned role as the "Buster Mama" who she loves to snuggle up with at night. He finds her entirely unnerving and a bit scary. Maggie and Bella love to play and wrestle. It's still a little odd to me to see Maggie with 6 lbs of cat wrapped around her head, but the dog and cat both seem to enjoy this activity so I have opted to avoid intervention. Maggie is Buster's dog and Bella is Maggie's cat. Erin is still hoping that Mom & Dad will supply Bella with a fish. After the first family pet comes home, it really is a slippery slope...
