I've been trying for a while to get a good video of Bella in action so that everyone can see how far she's come. Any time she sees a camera pointed at her, however, she stops what she's doing to check it out. I finally managed to get this clip of Bella and her sister Clementine play-fighting, although they do get a little distracted by the camera in the middle. Notice which cat is the aggressor and which one is running out of the room to escape!
Apologies for the clumps of cat fur on the carpet...the daily vacuuming of the rug had not occurred yet at the time of the video!
In other good news, our tax refund was just enough to finish paying off Bella's vet bill! I still can't believe that so many complete strangers helped Bella out with her surgery expenses. Their kindness and generosity has meant so much to us, and I thank everyone who helped from the bottom of my heart!

Our cat Bella was attacked by a dog and had one of her legs amputated in November of 2009. Now we're learning how to live with and rehabilitate the world's cutest tripod. If you have questions, or want to talk about your own tripod, feel free to e-mail Bella and me at tripodbella [at] gmail.com.
Vote for Bella!

Bella seems to be able to take care of herself pretty well.
ReplyDeleteI continue to be amazed and thankful for the helpfulness of the CB. They are a caring, wonderful group of people.
Cute video. Looks like she's learned how to put her brother in his place.
ReplyDeleteBella, you are gorgeous and you are fast on your feets.
ReplyDeleteLove & Purrs,

hope your bella is doing ok!!
Have you allowed Bella back outside? Our beloved boy Jacob was attacked by a dog 1 week ago. He's lost his left hind leg. As I type this my Husband is taking him down to the vet as his would is infected.
ReplyDeleteOur other cat Bertha is going stir crazy staying inside and spraying and weeing everywhere. Jacob is certainly pining to go outside, despite the fact that he cannot even walk yet. We do not know what to do when his leg is better and how to keep them both in when they have enjoyed such a wonderful outdoor life until this tragedy has happened. Thanks. Anita
Awww, we love you Bella! Sorry we haven't left a comment on your awesome website sooner. We are so proud of your progress...you are a true survivor! We are so glad you are still around to make everyone jealous of your super-awesome long, fluffy fur :)
ReplyDeleteLots of Love,
Aunt Jenn and Logan
