Is that a British shorthair? She looks an awful lot like my cat.

She's a British Shorthair mix, actually! Not sure about the part of her ancestry.

How vocal is your cat? Bella has many things to say.

Harry talks quite a bit. He'll go into the bathroom, jump on the sink, and start meowing to ask us to turn the water on. He gets quite vocal when we tried to hold him. I once asked "who's an angry kitty?" and he gave this yowling annoyed meow that was just perfect. He sits on laps, so long as there are blankets. On Sunday my blanket was too loose and he was on the floor, pawing at it repeatedly, telling me my blanket securement wasn't up to par.

He sounds just like Bella! You should post a photo of him sometime. I am sure he is adorable.
