Whoever said that they slow down at 13, never met Bella.

Look closely and you can see the red scatches above her nose and right beside her left eye. Yes, we had a "Tom and Jerry" moment in the house last week and of all days - on Bella's Birthday. You have to understand that most weimes don't like cats and OOna for some weird reason is completely fascinated with Bella. Not the best combo. On normal days we do fine and keep the distance between them, but on Bella's birthday we had a house guest who had come into town for her party and half the house was blocked off.
Well, it kind of went down like this, it was 6 am Bella was getting up and Scott was hepling her (sometimes she needs a little helping hand in the mornings), OOna had decided to climb out of her room (yes, she has her own room where Bella can't go into, Bella gets the whole rest of the house. hey you turn 13 you get the larger space too). Anyway, Bella came around from the bedroom with Scott helping her backlegs a little, OOna had just climbed the barrier to her room, (the door to the front of the house was closed) OOna saw Bella and kind of trotted toward her Bella saw OOna and lounged like a cougar, Scott saw both and moved as fast as he could. When OOna realize Bella's intent she leaped straight up, claws out, Bella snapping the whole way. As OOna came back down Scott stuck his hand (his painting hand i might add so he must love both of the knuckleheads) between Bella face and jaws and OOna body and claws, He got the worst of it, he didn't throw OOna even though she was clawing up his arm but just carried her to the bedroom away from Bella.
OOna was fine, no scratches or anything hurt, just a little scared. Bella got to scratches as you can see, Scott was the worst for wear, took a little to stop the bleeding but he's fine now.

The crazy thing is later that day, OOna tried to get close to Bella again (she determind to be snuggle bunnies with Bella, little knuckle head). That time she simply took off. And people said that once Bella got scratched she would stop going after her or that being 13 she's to slow to catch something so fast. They obviously don't know Bella.

No OOna kitties were harmed in the taking of this picture...
