Return of the cat-sitter

I felt like I had won the lottery when I was contacted a month after my first go as a cat-sitter, asking if I was able to look after another cat - still in my area but in the opposite direction to the trio of fur. I said yes at once: four days, one cat? Let the purring begin.

And then I met her. Oh my god. Clarice, Cleo and Willow were lovely cats (and Willow still has a special place in my heart) but they were all pretty huge. Extremely well fed, and just generally big domestic cats.

Bella was tiny.

Barely a year old with a face flatter than a frying pan, I struggled not to laugh with delight the first time I met her. She was so precious. And she loved to be stroked. And play with toys. Her favourite was this bright orange ribbon:
Those eyes.
I can't even caption the other photos, they sort of just speak for themselves. Although I will say that getting a new phone seemed to have improved my photography skills.

She looks tall but she is small.
*contemplates the meaning of life*
She was chasing a laser pointer.
Cutie over here
I can't wait to be asked to look after more cats!
