From a trial sleepover to happily ever after, we got chatting to Ali about her cat Bella and their usual weekend routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A friend of a friend was looking to rehome her because of his work commitments. She came for a sleepover to see if we got on and stayed 3 nights – mostly holed up behind my computer desk! But when she finally came to live with me a couple of weeks later, being separated from her mum for the first time since she\u2019d been born a year before, she settled in quite quickly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh we have a few names, our go to is #prettykitty but we often run with Princess Tinker, BellaTrix L\u2019estrange, Blackfoot Phillips or Baby Belles. She\u2019s 6 years old and a British Shorthair tabby, although I think she may have a wee bit of Bengal Maine in her! Despite her Dad being a black farm cat, she\u2019s the spitting image of her mum who was a rescue kitten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m a retired teacher and live in Cumbria enjoying my days with Bella. I love acting and singing as a hobby, that would actually be my dream job if I could go back and do it all again.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes! She \u201cneeds\u201d<\/em> breakfast between 6.30am and 7am and dinner as close to 5pm as possible otherwise she sulks with me! When her litter tray needs replenishing she paws at the bag of cat litter. She\u2019s quite particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We always start with a lie in and a long soak in the bath. If it\u2019s sunny, I have coffee in the garden whilst Bella is having a wander on her harness & lead and chewing the lawn. Definitely no rushing around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Anything by ABBA!<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd how do Saturday mornings differ, what\u2019s your usual plan?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Do you have an anthem to go with your weekends?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
