The love I have for my four year old gray/white tabby female cat, Bella, is as deep as anyone might expect from an owner. She is my friend who loves to sleep either on my left or right side, loves for me to scratch under her neck, sides of her face, belly and purrs like a symphony.For some time, she would not put on any weight, remaining at 7 lbs., and has always been gentle. From Banfield, I purchased a healthcare packaged that suits her as she almost never has trouble. When she was found, she had a recurring virus that kept popping up, but it passed after the first year due to the use of a medication when the problem arose.Bella had a female tabby housemate for about a year or more who was much more aggressive, who, as I see it now, was the cause of Bella's low weight. I found a pair of cat lovers who adopted Sophia the very day my ad showed on Craigslist, so I don't worry about her not being in good hands. Now, with the absense of Sophia's competition Bella is finally eating, and has gained perhaps as much as three or more lbs. Her outward appearance is even more appealing than in years past. If she stays at her present weight, that will be fine. Nothing more than dry cat food, Iams hairball formula, does she eat.I'm finding, also, that Bella no longer tries to "escape" the house to run the neighborhood like she used to. I longed for control of her running, mostly due to the declining neighborhood, and now, even that has past.Anyway, I thought I'd give a kind of praise report for the changes that have taken place at our house.David
