<\/a><\/p>\nSlap! Slap! There have been half a dozen times where Fat Kitty did the “I’m gonna slap you Bella!” move–but has yet to make actual contact with the dog. He just does it right in front of her face. Establishing his dominance I guess. LOL.<\/p>\n
Maya seems unbothered by Bella. I often find Bella and Maya in the same room together and Bella isn’t interested in her and she’s not interested in the dog. Which is a good thing–I thought Maya would be absolutely terrified of the dog. Many times I find Maya sleeping on Bella’s bed. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n There’s this new thing that Fat Kitty and Bella are doing. He walks right up to her and they touch noses. It usually happens after Bella comes in from outside. I think he just wants to smell what she was doing outside (he wants to be an outdoor kitty so badly! But there have been coyote incidents in our neighborhood so that’s not happening). It is so cute. It looks like they are kissing.<\/p>\n That’s not the best picture of them “kissing.” I’m still working on getting that photo because it’s going to be adorable! I have this one that turned out pretty good:<\/p>\n How cute is that? They seem to be getting along well now and Bella follows Fat Kitty around the house always wanting to see what he’s up too. When Bella is playing outside Fat Kitty sits at the sliding glass doors supervising. \ud83d\ude42 It makes me happy that they are getting along, even if the cat is still letting Bella know periodically that he’s the boss.<\/p>\n Poor Bella is very accident prone, though. Every week she seems to have new scratches, scrapes and owies. She gets a bit out of control when we play in the yard and runs into bushes, the planters, trees…She’s kind of a klutz! Last weekend she had to go to the vet because of an injury. This time it was our fault. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n We were clipping her nails in preparation for her bath. She was doing okay and we were almost done when she moved just as I was clipping. She yelped and jumped off the couch, running into her crate. Poor baby! I hurried after her and thought she was okay but then saw a little blood. I went into our first aid kid to get the stuff that is supposed to stop bleeding (it’s a gel) when we released she was bleeding a LOT. Blood was getting everywhere! It was so horrible!<\/p>\n I tried wrapping her paw to stop the bleeding but there was too much. Michael and I raced to the vet, which thankfully wasn’t very far from the house. They patched her up and wrapped her paw in a bandage. The vet said this was common and not a big deal, that she sometimes still nicks her own dogs when she’s trimming their nails. It may be common and not a big deal but it was for us! We sat in the waiting room at the vet while they helped Bella, my hands and shirt were covered in blood and I was crying. What a mess!<\/p>\n I felt so absolutely horrible that this happened and she got hurt. My poor baby! The vet said she’d be okay and to come back in a few days to get the bandage off and they’ll take a look at her nail. We got home and I cleaned up all the blood. It looked like a crime scene in my house. Horrifying and very upsetting. I think we will be taking Miss B to the groomer from now on.<\/p>\n This was the three of us cuddling on the couch after the vet visit. Fat Kitty was concerned.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
