My Halloween kitty is possessed!
Oct. 31st, 2005 09:42 amThe youngest of my cats, Bella, is a Halloween kitty for many reasons. She is orange on top, and white on the bottom. She is very easily spooked. And, she was rescued by my sister as a young kitten on October 31, 2000. This is not only the day that I celebrate as her birthday (celebrated with, um, snuggles...she never wants a present), but it's also the reason for her full name: Bella Lugosi.
Yes, for real.
Now, however, I'm a bit worried that she might be taking this too far. She is currently sitting on the floor by the sliding door, looking out onto my balcony at a group of birds that are hopping around on the deck and...oh, I don't know, doing bird things. And she is making this truly bizarre throaty squeaking and squawking noise.
It does not sound like a cat meowing. It sounds like wet rubber galoshes walking across a linoleum floor. Low-pitched, slightly raspy, and not something you expect to come out of the mouth of a six-pound feline.
Maybe she really is a Halloween kitty...
