Hello! My name is Bonnibelle and I adopted my Mom when I was three years old. I was living in a shelter and had been returned three times by people because they said I was a "bad" cat. In fact, the shelter named me Bad Amy, Good Amy and even wrote an article about me in the newspaper. I was diagnosed with some strange disease that no one knew about it. Sometimes it made me run around acting crazy and I would bite people. They even had me on phenobarbital to calm me down.

One day a lady walked in and sat down on the floor and said "Well, aren't you a pretty kitty". I knew I wanted to go home with that lady, so I walked over, got in her lap and put my head under her chin. Soon, I was driving off to my new home. The shelter sent my favorite bed home with me, but I never used it. I had beautiful, couches, antique chairs, beds and tables to sit on!

In no time at all the I was no longer taking phenobarbital. My name was changed to Bonnibelle - Bonni for good and charming and Belle for beautiful. And don't you just see the name is perfect for me?

I am a very happy now and I do not run around crazy or bite people. I love to fetch my toys and play with my furry mice. I toss them high in the air and my Mom finds them on the bookcases and other strange places. Most of all I like to sit with my Mom while she tells me how beautiful and charming I am.

My Mom asked me tell everyone that she thinks I am the most perfect kitty in the whole world and I think she is probably right. I know I have made her very happy because I really am perfect in practically every single way!

I smiled when I read the story about how you chose your person! I'm so sorry your life at the shelter was difficult, and I'm very glad your life has changed for the better! You are the most perfect kitty - I like your gorgeous fluffy fur! I would be delighted to sit with you, and tell you how beautiful you are! Or to gently pet you, if that is something you like. You are a busy lady, too- playing fetch or tossing your furry mice, so your Mom can find them in all kinds of interesting places! PURRRRRfect!

Happy, happy Cat of the Day to dear Bonnibelle!
