Judging a book by its cover!
This is our other cat. Her name is Bella. On a trip to Pet Smart my daughter fell in love with her. We went through the steps to adopt her, the Humane Society was very thorough and we brought her home. During her first 6 months with us she spent most of her time in the vet's office. She was one sick kitty. And, she had the very bad habit of eating string and ribbon (she doesn't seem to like yarn, thankfully). Needless to say, string and ribbon are not easily digested and can often clog the system. None of us, including the vet, thought she would survive. Amazingly she is still with us, beautiful to look at and extremely soft to the touch but she is meaner than a snake. The only one of us she loves with abandon is our son, Boomer. She has marked him as her own boy toy. The rest us of she only tolerates. And, if we get too close we get to meet her teeth. If she had front claws I am certain she would scratch us. Every morning I awaken to the sounds of kitties fighting because Bella will stalk Sylvie and kitty slap her. Despite her quirkiness we love her. Every household should have a Bella so you will truly appreciate your other "normal" pets.
Wishing you sweet, loving best friends!

What a beautiful kitty!! Maybe she's mean because she went through a lot before you even had her, and then was so sick afterwards.
Regardless, she is beautiful, looks very soft and silky!! And cats have quirky natures--my Scout will come up and "head butt" me. So, I think--Oh, she wants me to pet her. She only puts up with this for a little while, then turns around and every so gently bites--just enough to let you know that she's had enough!!
Yes, kitties rule the roost!!

LOL! Oh, Beth, we are the staff that takes care of the kitties! They think they are royalty!!!
