Bel Cat got her name because when we met she was wearing a bell, and I called her that, so when she adopted me, the name stuck. I was living in a small apartment building in Durango, CO at the time and she was the greeter. Anytime anyone opened their front door, she was there!
She started coming in the kitty window I had for my cat, which was unusual as most cats won't use a kitty door on their own. She would come in and just perch, as if to say, "Look, I won't be any trouble. " My cat Alice tolerated her. Then her people stopped letting her inside, so she just moved in with us, and when I moved, she came with.
I don't know why they would do this as she is the friendliest cat I have ever known. We have moved a lot and I always hear from neighbors that she comes and visits them. She likes making friends. Anyone who comes over, Bel thinks they are there to see her. We have been together for nine of her ten years.
She is a very sweet girl, who likes to be able to come and go as she pleases, so she enjoys having her own kitty window. She always stays close to home, but likes to be able to enjoy the out of doors. She isn't a big cuddler, but she likes to be near, often helping me out when I'm working. She comes out to greet me when I come home.
Hello, beautiful Bel! What a lovely calico cat you are!
