Contrarian Pet of the Week
Meet Bella! (Or maybe don't.)
By Joshua Koppel
We told you we wanted to have fun, and we take fun seriously at The Contrarian. Each week, we will share The Contrarian pet(s) of the week. (The pet need not be contrarian.) Subscribers are invited to submit their furry friend!
Name: Bella
Age: 4
Breed: Bengal
Hobbies: As an adopted member of our family, Bella brings her own unique values to our home. Her favorite TV show is Hannity, and she has been known to carry a concealed weapon, which makes it especially hard to discipline her while she enthusiastically destroys my couch and/or photo-bombs my numerous Contrarian Zoom editorial meetings.
Worst Moment: Bella has refused all cat vaccines, instead opting for a daily regimen of unpasteurized milk and venison. This has not helped with her kennel cough. Bella recently got a tattoo of Pete Hegseth.
Best Moment: Still waiting.

Hello Bella!! This is Finnegan Dog, I've lived with cats most of my life. Never had a run in. Rather, love ins! "My" last cat let go at age 18, last July. He was as knd and loveable as I am. In our house , we all get our vaccines. Too many nasties out there to risk it. On the other hand, my human has lived with cats since she was six. A LONG time ago! Mom says her cats never did anything "wrong." She studied a lot about cat behavior, and they were terrific teachers. She taught them how to walk on leaches so we could go hiking and on vacations with her All this to say you are beautiful and, we hope your human can learn as much from you as she did from her cats.

What a beautiful kitty!!
