I was asked to write a post about Belinda by Bev, who sponsors this little black sweetie living in the singlewide.
I first met Belinda some time ago but had yet to blog about her, largely because the fact that she's very friendly and tends to do a bit of scooting around one's feet as she shows it makes her not an easy girl to get a good photograph of.
Belinda comes from the same farm where Mitchell, Mary, Alec, Marilee and others were trapped. She was initially very shy, but a bad cold early on in her time at RAPS saw Leslie having to climb into her cage regularly and sit with her while she gave her fluids.
It came as a welcome surprise to Leslie when Belinda started to purr during her visit. And then she even came over and climbed into Leslie's lap.
According to Bev, Belinda may not be into being picked up, but she does love a lap to curl up in.
Belinda turned out to be such a sweetheart that Marianne says it's a shame she's never been adopted. Fortunately, she does have friends at the shelter who love her dearly.

I think you have a case of mistaken identity with the last photo...that is actually Chrissie (Duffy's sister) on the dryer, not Belinda. Chrissie is about the same size as Belinda, but rounder and has fluffier fur (and more of it). Belinda's fur is very shiny and longer, and she has a narrower, more defined face than Chrissie as well.
ReplyDeleteGood to know! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBelinda loves laps so much she's willing to share with one or two other cats while I'm scooping.
