Favorite Nap Spot: On her pillow in the catputer room, the couch, or behind my sewing machine. Favorite Food: Dry kibble...she won't eat anything else! Skills: She is an excellent climber and can jump quite high. She is an excellent "moth huntress." Dwells:
indoors Arrival Story: Laura Belle was given to me by my grandaughter Summer because her mother cat could no longer nurse her. Belle's mother had Mastitis. Three of her brothers had already died of malnutrition, so we weren't sure if little Belle was going to make it. When I got Laura Belle she was 26 days old and she weighed 7 ounces. I began feeding Belle kitten replacement milk every 1 1/2 to 2 hours from a bottle. She adapted to the bottle quite well. She began to gain weight. After feeding her for one week, she gained 3 ounces. Her meals were getting larger and larger. It was soon apparent that Belle was "out of the woods." I took her in to the Veterinarian, and she gave her a thumbs up, so then we knew for sure that she was going to survive her somewhat shaky start in life. Belle will be six weeks old in two days, and she is thriving. Thank God, our little baby is going to grow into a full sized feline someday! UPDATE: 04/25/09 Belle just celebrated her First Birthday a week ago. Belle is the love of my life (well, besides my husband she is!). She and her sisfur Daisy (born 17 days apart, from a different litter) are the best of friends. They usually sleep all day so that they can terrorize my husband and I, and E.J. and Blue II each night. Belle has totally adapted to indoor living, and has only attempted to go outside once. She has recently noticed the four feral cats living outside, and watches them from the window with interest. She is very affectionate and smart. Belle is quite a bit smaller than her sister Daisy and her brothers E.J. and Blue II. I believe she is already full grown and is going to be a petite feline. Believe me, her size fits her Diva Princess attitude. She is definitely royalty! Bio: Dad named me Laura Belle after his maternal grandmother. She was a very sweet lady, and my pawrents thought that I looked so sweet and innocent that they named me after her. I went to my furever home when I was 26 days old. My meowmy took real good care of me, and now I am growing fast. She makes me bottles whenefur I get hungry so I am gaining weight. Meowmy told me this week that I have to be "weaned", whatefur that means. She said that I don't get my bottle all the time, and that I have to learn to "lap" up my milk and kitten food from a bowl instead. Oh well, Daisy says it's not so bad. Daisy is my sisfur. She came to live wif us when I had only been here fur six days. She is 17 days older than me, and she is almost twice my size. Meowmy says that I am small and petite fur my age. Daisy and I purrlay togefur like old furiends, and we only just met each ofur! We even snuggle togefur, and sleep side by side. She is my best buddy. I like my big brofurs too. E.J. and Blue II have also started purrlaying wif us little girls efurry night before bed time. They play tag and chase us all ofur the house. Oh, they hissed and growled at us alot when we furst came here, but they have mellowed out, and now they love us. Yep, I like my new furever home...I think I've got my pawrents wrapped right around my tiny paw...hehehe! Lives Remaining: 9 of 9 Forums Motto: I'm Meowmy's liddle purrincess!

Meowlo fur furiends! My furiend Maggie posted a poem today that I just couldn't help but like. I like it so much, I am going to post it in my Diary today. Here it is:
Training your human is a thankless task.
"Why bother with it?", some kittens may ask.
The fate of the world is the issue at hand,
as felines worldwide stake a claim for their land.
Make no bones about it, we cats own the joint.
We spray in the corners to drive home the point.
Some say the meek shall inherit the Earth,
But they've no fangs or claws, for what that's worth.
The cat is the ultimate species, you see,
We're poised to usurp man's authority.
These silly old humans who cannot play nice!
We cats are peaceful, we hate only mice.
Just what does training your human entail?
A host of fun things you must do without fail:
The sofas and rugs need a little makeover.
The La-Z-Boy's target for kitty takeover.
Then sleep on clean towels placed in the guest bath.
And make their best clothing a target of wrath.
Tear down those new drapes with a quick forceful tug.
Then tatter the pile of the new Berber rug.
And when they are sleeping, you block off their nose,
paw at their lower lip, chew on their toes.
Strut on the mantle. If they give any flack,
knock down their trophies and all bric-a-brac.
Shed on mom's new velvet black evening gown,
as she's headed out for a night on the town.
If they leave you home all alone for the night,
(Any human doing this can't be all that bright),
They're telling you by leaving, it's perfectly all right,
To totally redecorate 'til dawn's early light.
Knock over tables and chew up the fern.
Hurry, go faster! Soon, they'll return...
When they try to punish, you mustn't show concern.
(All attempts of discipline a pussycat should spurn.)
A snide flick of tail will convey no remorse,
but they will try harder to scold you, of course!
So, hide in the closet until they forget,
and then launch out just like an F-14 jet.
Tear up their ankle, their forearm, their hand,
then when they've had all the pain they can stand,
dart from the room while they call 9-1-1,
and celebrate victory: The felines have won!
To humans, however, the battle's begun,
as they steep in their anger and wish for a gun.
Pathetic and lumbering and clumsy to boot,
My friend, human dominance is really a hoot.
Take charge in your home. It's destiny, meow.
(The verses above have already told how.)
So sleep for an hour, and then grab some chow,
And then train your human, beginning right now.
Hello fur furiends! You're nefur going to guess what I just found out...I am a Daily Diary Pick today...fur the second time dis week! I was picked on Caturday October 22nd, and again today! I am ofur the moon! THANK YOU DIARY GAL! I am SO honored to be chosen fur this!
You wanna know something else? Someone that we are furry close to has been honored today by being chosen as Catster's Cat Of The Day...ETHAN! We were ofurjoyed to see his smiling face on the Community Page this morning! He is Louis Le Beau's brofur, and my sisfur Ruby is dating Louis. We think the world of Ethan and his furmily. ConCATulations Ethan! You deserve it!
So you see, today is a furry special day. Not one, but TWO really neat things have happened today. I am a DDP, and Ethan is COTD. Thank you Catster!
Hello fur furiends! I don't know about you, but I am LOVING this mild weather of Autumn! This weather has made me happier than normal.
Meowmy has been on Cloud Nine today. Catster did something yesterday that made her extremely happy. I have even caught her humming to herself a couple of times today!
Fur almost two months now, Meowmy has been unable to receive any e-mails from Catster. This means that she hasn't been made aware of when someone has posted in one of our groups, she hasn't received any furiendship requests, no e-mails telling her when we had received a Rosette, and no invitations to join a new group. During this time my siblings Ruby, E.J., and Blue II had been chosen as DOTD's and DDP's, and she had nefur been notified of their honors. Meowmy's ISP said that Catster was using SPAM-like wording in their URL, and that is why her ISP had forbade Catster from sending her any more e-mails. They suggested that Catster change this so Meowmy could start receiving e-mails again. After weeks of follow up by Meowmy, Catster finally fixed the purroblem yesterday afternoon. Now Meowmy can post a reply to ofur Catster members when they post in a group, she can receive furiendship requests, and Rosette notifications. Meowmy is on Cloud Nine now that she can keep abreast of all the happenings around Catster...THANK YOU WATCH CAT!!! YOU ARE THE BESTEST KITTY IN THE WORLD!
Thank mew Catster! It is great to be pawt of the Catster Community again!!!
