It's been 2 months since I picked up Isabel from the LA County shelter. And I'm utterly amazed at how far she has come along. She really is turning in to fuzzy Persian princess!

Here's a photo I took this afternoon (not so good with a cheap camera phone). She's a bit annoyed because I disturbed her nap. (And yes, she got a kitty treat for the inconvenience! )

Beautiful!!!

She is such a sweetie!!!

Looks like she is settling in perfectly. You've done a good job with
her.

Oh, she's such a beauty! I love that face. She looks very content and happy. "Do you have another present for me? Good!" How adorable! Good for you and her! I'm so happy you found her and she found you.

It's been 4 months since we rescued Mr.Kitty from the Norco Animal Shelter I'm so glad people are rescuing adult cats from shelters. You did a great thing saving your pretty baby. I think most people believe that if you want a Persian you have to buy one from a breeder, but you can find great Persian cats at animal shelters all over the place.

She is very pretty and looks so much better, plus you are a fast learner. She already has you trained about who rules

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with a 'shelter' Persian. Actually, I was one of those people who didn't think one could find a purebred Persian at an animal shelter -- maybe a rescue group, but not a public animal shelter. Afterall, who would 'dump' a Persian, especially in a high-kill shelter?! It still stuns me.

As for adopting adult cats, I think more people are beginning to understand that adults can become as devoted to their owners as kittens can. It takes a bit more time, but then so what? Isabel has taken, oh, 2 months, and now trots over to me every morning to get a good morning scratching.

BTW, HRH Isabel saw Mr. Kitty's crown and is thinking tiara, preferablly with sparkly things.

But according to HRH Isabel, I still have room for improvement. Why, just last night, I had the gall to squash the moth she was chasing on my pillow. Imagine that -- I ruined her 'toy'.

Rule #4: Human will not interfer with anything HRH is enjoying doing.

Me bad.
