What a sweetheart! Thanks for the picture. My two - K.C. and C.K. say welcome. C.K. thinks the only way the computer works is to be in my lap while I'm working on it... :hammer:

I love cats....there are dog people and cat people that's it. Kinda like Vanilla vs. chocolate. IMO cat people tend to be more caring loving and understanding. But I'm sure lots would disagree on this one.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome's... :sohappy: Belle is only 8 weeks old. My cousin just went to the place where we got Belle and got one of her brothers... hes a cutie also...

Aww! And will they be visiting each other? Kittens tend to be a lot less trouble and easier to take care of when they are together.
She's really beautiful. Congratulations!
I love cats AND dogs myself. What I really like about cats is that you truly have to earn their respect and love, vs dogs who tend to love you no matter what. And that's the exact reason a lot of people do NOT like cats :lol:

THAT is a cute kitty! Congrats! My animals are both starting to get old...my cat, Salem, says 'hello' in his old man voice (he's 13) and my 13 year-old puppy, Casey, says...well he's asleep lol. I'm ready for my next puppy 
My problem with cats stems from allergies--I've grown used to Salem over the years (actually, if you get a cat as a young kitten, you most likely won't be allergic to it--this worked for my sister with her two littermates, Mickey and Dolly, and it worked for me with all three of em!), so I don't get allergies from him, but new cats are always a problem. The rats at work haven't set off my allergies...any rat or other rodent owners out there? Outside of the rodents, I am quite partial to spunky ferrets...

somehow if we are exposed the the dander as the cat starts releasing it, our body doesn't create an allergic reaction to it--but only that particular cat. I'm guessing if we get a full dose, our body freaks out, but if we get a small dose at first (from a kitten), our bodies just grow okay with the small amount and that passive reaction to that specific dander type just continues.

ISTCNavigator57 I used to have a cat named Salem.. but he ran away 4 weeks ago and that's why I got Belle... here's a pic of Salem... I miss him!!! 
Luckily I have Belle to help me... Meg Belle wants go play with Tinks... think he's up for it!?!? I think you should bring him over here!!! :lol:

Aw, I'm sorry. If it's only been 4 weeks, maybe there is still hope.
Hopefully Belle will be a little less adventurous!
Thanks Erika... im still hoping.. but he was a really friendly cat so chances are he has another (hopefully loving) home.

Sure hope he does. While many will disagree, ours are stictly indoor cats,to prevent just this. Studies have shown indoor cats are just as content as ones that roam outside; certainly they stay healthier and live longer.TnkrBelPixiDust said:

Ours are indoor cats too, though they all began as strays. Of the 3, only one ever tries to sneak out, and that's just to get grass. So we bring it in for her. Problem solved
I know a lot of people do let their cats roam, and that's their choice. It doesn't mean they love them any less. But I see too many horrors at my shelter to allow that. I would be worried all the time.

My kitty has been living with me for 2 1/2 years now and he's getting gutsy. He'll go in the garage now and sit at the front door. Sometimes I get worried he'll run. He'd never make it, he's such a chicken. LOL
