Bashful Bellla

Bella, unlike her sister Kenz, is camera shy.  She has a huge personality but does not ever show it to the camera.  Too bad!

So I guess this is your challenge! You'll have to find a way to have a remote on a tripod possibly?

Bella is still so cute!
Mary MacADNski: I have got a few good ones over the years, some in the archives, but it's rare.

being...as she is...a human, she is trying to read the comics section of the newspaper, and so is not much interested in posing.
Mary MacADNski: My cats never saw their mother and were hand raised by people so absolutely they think they are human. I've trained them not to bother birds and the birds and squirrels can sit side by side. I sometimes wonder if she can read as she stares at the words as I'm reading. She's the most intelligent cat I've ever had.

We have a bird named Bella. Very cute!
Mary MacADNski: My kids named her Chicky and I named her Bella so her real name is Chicky Bella. She comes to all three.

LOL at Ray! I guess Bella is a lot like some people we know, right, Mary!
Mary MacADNski: She thinks she is a person. These cats never saw their mother and were hand raised by people. For the first few years they were terrified of cats but were fine with dogs. They're almost ten so over that now.
Still, Bella looks like a nice armful of cat. smile
Mary MacADNski: Awwww. She certainly is and very soft too.

Don't try to tick me with your "look at the birdie". I've looked before and there's no bird in sight.
Mary MacADNski: It's strange to me that she will not look up. Actually, she usually takes off when she sees the camera.

I do agree with Bella, why sit up and be nice all the time, you go there girl, but I have to admit I do like the color of this great compagnion of yours, very well captured!!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Astrid. You have her pegged. She is NOT nice all the time but is super friendly, loving strangers whereas Kenz runs under a bed if a stranger comes.

She is obviously full of self confidence with nothing to prove by posing
Mary MacADNski: She absolutely is full of confidence. I quite often refer to her as Queen Bella. She rules the roost.

She sit's with a regal expression(don't bother me and I won't bother you).
Nice shot of a shy Bellasmile
Mary MacADNski: I sometimes call her Queen Bella.

lol at aussie's comment

it's interesting how even human twins can have such a different personality
Mary MacADNski: How true and you love them for that individuality.
Very nice capture. She seems being dreaming!
Mary MacADNski: No, just being camera shy.

Beautiful cat !!! I love them ... I used to have one that I had when he was 8 days old ... I had to feed him with a bottle, wash him, he was like a baby ...
Mary MacADNski: These were orphans too.

She's a love! Our latest..Piglet, seems to be very at home. The other 2 are not exactly keen but most of the time there isn't any problem.
Mary MacADNski: I hope it works out but sometimes it takes a while.
Hi Mary, I've just been looking at your picture of Kenz in the snow and this one of Bella. I have 3 cats - one of which (Jackson) loves the camera and appears several times in my archive. Rory and Faith on the other hand seem to actively avoid the attentions of the lens. Anyway, its interesting to see how your pictures show the contrasting personalities of your beautiful cats.
Mary MacADNski: I remember your kitties. Interesting that you have camera shy ones too. I had three but Clarke was taken by a coyote. I still post him though. He's up this coming Saturday.
A star, increase her royalties smile
