She grew over the next few months and she came out of her shell a little, but she was still a pretty skittish kitty and didn't like to be around when there was company or strangers at her house.
One day the family decided they were going to move and eventually the day came when the movers arrived to load up the trucks. They knew both of the cats would be scarred to death to have all these men at their house, so they decided to shut them up in the laundry room for the day. Peppers went in ok, but Bell got really scared and she ran up the stairs and hid somewhere. That was fine until the second time of filling the truck, when all of the movers went upstairs to get the stuff from up there, and all of the sudden a grey blur came darting down the stairs. Bryan tried to follow her, and he looked a couple places but decided it was better to leave her where she was and just get her after everyone was gone.
Well, long story short, the Wilson family got everything moved over, and after searching high and low in the empty house, they couldn't find Bell ANYWHERE! She must of ran out the door when no one was looking because she was so scared! Everyone was so sad and worried about the helpless little kitty, and they hoped that someone somewhere had found her and would take care of her.
They got back to their new house for the night and got to looking around for Peppers, who also was no where to be found, but since they had carried him over in the cage they knew he was somewhere. One of the family members went out to the garage to look for something and out of the the corner of their eye they saw something dash under one of the shelves! "How did Peppers get out here?" she thought. The Wilson kids got the flashlight, and went looking in the garage for the kitten. And they did find the kitten. They found Bell!! When she got scarred upstairs she ran downstairs and went to one of her favorite hiding places; behind the couch! And when the movers started moving the couch, she ran up inside of it to hide from them!
So, little Bell, scarred out of her mind, did make it safely to her new house in the couch!

Oh, poor Bell! I can only imagine how scared she was!
Katy, I am so glad your story had such a happy ending!! The further into the story I got, I was afraid it was going to end badly, I am glad I was wrong!! Yay Bell!! Enjoy your new house with ALL of your family! (Even the furry ones)
Duh, the above post is from me......NIKKI! I am such a dork!
You should have said, "Here blue bell!" and she would have come running, because that is really what her name was going to be.
haha i laughed a lot at tacys comment!
I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL. Many a time, Splash and Cooper have escaped into the woods and we for sure thought a fisher cat got them because they don't come home for HOURS. One time, Splash was out for a couple of days and my mom was just about to call and tell me (she knew I'd be devestated, especially being across the country, so she waited to tell me just in case he came back) when he all the sudden showed up on the back porch! PHEW! Glad both Bell and Peppers are okay :)
That is so sad. I know how you feel though. we adopted a new dog and she has been a bit of an adjustment but we are getting things figured out and we love her a lot!
