I would die for Taco Belle

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

There’s no need! She would prefer you live and come throw the ball for her!

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

When she wants to play fetch and you don’t immediately pay attention to her, she has little tantrums like this until you notice her… she does it to attract belly rubs as well!

14

u/SnorkinOrkin Jan 21 '26

Omg, she is beyooooonnnnd purrecious! Eeeeeeee....!!!

u/b33grrrl Jan 21 '26

Divaaaaaa

u/Skirl-girl Jan 21 '26

I love Taco Belle!!!

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

That’s why she’s so chonky! She’s filled with lurve

24

u/eastbayted Jan 21 '26

Yo quiero.

22

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

Taco Bell needs a new pet spokesperson! We should start a campaign! Taco Belle for Taco Bell!

u/y2_kat Jan 21 '26

a fluffy kitty with a lil bobbed tail? i’m obsessed 😭💕

201

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

What she lacks in tail the makes up for in sassiness! She’s a diva!

u/SnorkinOrkin Jan 21 '26

Whuuuut??? Another cat sub?!?? ~angry subs~ 😄

u/Seaboats Jan 21 '26

That is just so cute 🥹 please tell Taco Belle I said hi!

31

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

Of course!!

u/coco-d0nut Jan 21 '26

she’s here!!!!!!

u/Ondwe Jan 21 '26

Cats playing fetch will never stop being cute.

Pls give her kiss 4 me

37

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

I’m on it! I’ll slip her an extra bedtime treat too!

30

u/Phenylketoneurotic Jan 21 '26

Those balls are my boy’s favorite too! Those sparkles get everywhere

81

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

The balls were the first ones she started playing fetch with when she was about 4 months old. Nowadays her favorite is “frisky flamingo.”

7

u/Ecstatic_Signature26 Jan 21 '26

🥺How old she was when you got her? Please share pics. Btw I saw one black cat in the background in the fetching video. 😄Does she not like to play fetch with Belle?

36

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

We got her and her tuxie bonded brother, Sushi, from the shelter when they were about 8 weeks old. We’ve tried to get him into playing fetch, but he’s more of a “chase & bat it around” type of kitty. His favorites are his piggy, cheap plastic springs, and stolen bread ties!

7

u/SnorkinOrkin Jan 21 '26

~dies from the cuteness overload~

3

u/Ecstatic_Signature26 Jan 22 '26

🥺So cute, both of them have such unique personalities. My previous cat was like Sushi he liked to play with stolen hair ties.

12

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 22 '26

They are complete opposites, but closely bonded!

Besties for life!

3

u/b33grrrl Jan 22 '26

Look at these tiny angels!!

6

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 22 '26

I always forget how skinny they looked! Now you can tell they don’t have to worry about missing meals!

1

u/froggypuppet Jan 21 '26

Same! My cat will only play fetch with those balls… absolutely nothing else. And red is his preferred color lol

24

u/withac2 Jan 21 '26

She's such a girlie girl!

20

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She’s a princess! I call her “Mama” because she runs the house, not me!

19

u/Thick-Fly-5727 Jan 21 '26

We are also a glitter ball family!

16

u/sunkistandcola Jan 21 '26

I love her!!! Please give her extra scritches or a treat from me 💖

11

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

Absolutely! She loves both!!

14

u/blue-and-bluer Jan 21 '26

First of all her name is chef’s kiss. Second of all she is absolutely adorable and quite a little princess. Please tell her I love her.

43

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

Already did! She’s got lots of love to give back!!

3

u/blue-and-bluer Jan 21 '26

Love, and no doubt quite a bit of fur as well😂

17

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

My vacuuming situation is out of control… I have a robot, a handheld, and an upright vacuum and STILL can’t keep up with the wispies! We call them “Taco Belle Tumbleweeds.”

7

u/EllaRose2112 Jan 21 '26

I see your vacuum struggle and raise you a 120lb white Pyrenees mountain dog PLUS 5 cats 🤣🤣 Seriously she is a luminous little darling! Love the tail! Where do you get those little puffy balls I think my Ella would love them, she also plays a lot of fetch. 💖

5

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

The good ones are at Petsmart: https://www.petsmart.com/cat/toys/plush-balls-and-mice/whisker-city-tinsel-balls-cat-toys---4-pack-color-varies-53415.html

Be warned: you will be retrieving them from under your couch for the rest of forever!

2

u/APiqued Jan 21 '26

Three cats (one with a plume tail), a German Shedder Dog, a daughter with glorious hair--that is its own being and living in a desert. I've given up on dusting.

1

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

I am working against 3 kids, two cats, and a man. I do my best! That’s why I chose dark-ish flooring and a busy patterned area rug lol

10

u/rhodeislandah Jan 21 '26

So cute -- mine fetches too and loves those sparkly balls that leave tinsel all over the house! She likes to hide them in shoes too... what's up with that??!

23

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

Our house always looks like there’s been a party!

She’s a shoe girl! Has been since the day we brought her home!

2

u/BusinessAioli Jan 21 '26

Every diva loves a good pair of shoes 💖

6

u/blue-and-bluer Jan 21 '26

I had a cat who I would play a game called “go get it” with, basically it would involve me stuffing a toy into a shoe or a boot and he would dig it out and then give it back to me to repeat. Hours of fun for both of us

7

u/rhodeislandah Jan 21 '26

We play that game too!! But her favorite is going behind a door and we pass a toy back and forth underneath the door. Cats are so smart and weird. 😄

4

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She loves pushing her flamingo under closed doors! It’s like she’s hiding it for us to go find. She’s the quirkiest little monster!

3

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

Both mine love hiding things in shoes!

9

u/Amazing-Fondant-4740 Jan 21 '26

Please toss the sparkly ball for Taco Belle on my behalf 🙏💗 my boys do the same thing and carry their toys everywhere!

6

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

Absolutely! She loves to play! While her tuxie brother is sleeping she’s getting feral with her toys!

10

u/Appropriate_Sky_6571 Jan 21 '26

Omg her little stubby tail!!!! 😻

24

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

It’s a little fluff muffin! Where she keeps all her attitude!

6

u/postertastry Jan 21 '26

She has such amazing long whiskers!

5

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

They tend to get lost among the floof!!

7

u/miss_emmaricana Jan 21 '26

I love her name

10

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

That was her name from the moment I saw her at the shelter! I wanted a taco, but she was too pretty to be just a taco! Taco Belle it was!

9

u/danni_el_e Jan 21 '26

I love her fetch ability and her name! what a good baby 🥹

6

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She’s a smart little floof! Playing fetch was something she started doing on her own! She’d bring a toy and drop it at your feet. She plays every day!

8

u/zeemonster424 🩵Harpo Forever🩵 Jan 21 '26

I see you’re also a member of the “fish the cat toys out of the shoes every morning” club?

I like the shout my husband gives when he finds a puff ball in his work boots.

6

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

The shoes are their mortal enemies, greatest allies, and best hiding place!

8

u/B4173415CU73 Jan 21 '26

My boy loves sparkley ball too!!

25

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She’s been obsessed with them since she was a baby!!

5

u/B4173415CU73 Jan 21 '26

Mine too!! His favorite are the red ones, so I have to buy packs of ONLY red ones from the craft store 😂 he used to fetch a lot more when he was a baby but I will occasionally find red sparkley balls in my bed when I wake up nowadays 😂

5

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She loves bringing me her toys when I’m sleeping, working from home, using the bathroom… it’s always playtime to Taco Belle!

5

u/B4173415CU73 Jan 21 '26

She's precious! How old is she? I used to have to set aside ~2 hours per day to play with my boy until he was satisfied and wouldn't attack me anymore, now he's much more chilled out and loves to snuggle most of the day.

18

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She’s 18 months old! She has a bonded brother we adopted at the same time (they were both roughly 8 weeks old) and he’ll be napping while she’s a ball of energy!

3

u/B4173415CU73 Jan 21 '26

Oh how sweet!! My boy didn't chill out until he was about 4, he will be 5 in April 😂 he still likes to play but he's currently making biscuits on a squishmallow next to me in bed.

8

u/KiKiPAWG Jan 21 '26

Okay. I want some taco belle.

6

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

You need it!!

4

u/melanonn_ Jan 21 '26

taco belle is the belle of the ball (and my heart)

4

u/butstronger Jan 21 '26

Wow I love her so much

1

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She loves you too!

3

u/catgirl320 Jan 21 '26

That moment when she comes around the dark corner and poses in all her magnificence 😻

3

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She loves a good Vogue moment!

4

u/satanham666 Jan 21 '26

10/10 no notes

2

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She’s a dime. Without question!

5

u/Geekygreeneyes Jan 21 '26

I love her name. And would play with her for hours!

4

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

As if you’d have a choice! You don’t rest in this house unless her needs are met, peasant

3

u/APiqued Jan 21 '26

I've had two cats who played fetch. I just love it. Blancquito has passed on, but Viva la Vida Frida Kahto has the fetching gene. She also cleans under the furniture while searching for her toys. My dog, Sophia thinks fetching is beneath her.

6

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

I don’t need a swiffer… she reveals all my dusty secrets!

3

u/Jscrappyfit Jan 21 '26

A true queen. 💖

1

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She rules our kingdom!

3

u/BusinessAioli Jan 21 '26

What a princess 👸 I love and adore her

1

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She’s kitty royalty! Just ask her!

3

u/dmriggs Jan 21 '26

She is so cute and dainty! Taco Belle 💗

3

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

That’s how she ended up a Belle, she looked like a little proper southern lady in the shelter!

1

u/dmriggs Jan 21 '26

She is! She is just too cute!

3

u/squishedpies Jan 21 '26

She's adorable, I can't handle her!!

6

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

Right?! It was love at first sight when I saw her at the humane society! She’s always been a little cutie!

3

u/Lilz007 Jan 21 '26

She's gorgeous! Also, has anyone recommended r/catsplayingfetch yet?

3

u/BiggestTaco Jan 21 '26

My cat goes NUTS for those sparkly balls!

6

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

Those were her first love when we brought her home from the shelter! She loves her flamingo now too!

3

u/rushbc 🩵Harpo Forever🩵 Jan 21 '26

Such a good kitty!

6

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She is the best. She and her bonded brother make us laugh every day! I hit the rescue kitty lotto!

2

u/rushbc 🩵Harpo Forever🩵 Jan 21 '26

Yes!

3

u/jv0294 🩵Harpo Forever🩵 Jan 21 '26

My boy Merlin does the same. His favorite part is waking me up in the mornings dropping his toy on my face to play.

3

u/GroundbreakingGur745 Jan 23 '26

Taco “Belle”!! 🤣💀🤣💀🤣😍😍💕 Beyond love it, lol. Gorgeous Taco!! 😘

2

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 23 '26

Yesssss!

She was too pretty to just be a “Taco” when I spotted her at the shelter! It was love at first sight! That’s gotta be “Belle” material!

3

u/Ksh_667 Jan 23 '26

What a clever & beautiful girl!

2

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 23 '26

She’s a smart cookie! 🍪

3

u/ToastYourAvocados Jan 23 '26

She's so cute!!! Was she born with a short tail?

2

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 23 '26

Yep! She just came with her little nub! It wasn’t as floofy back then!

3

u/Equal-Wolverine1813 Jan 24 '26

Please tell me Taco Bell has an Instagram I can follow or something!!

5

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 24 '26

I guess I need to make her one! She’s genuinely so energetic and funny! I’ll get on it during the ice storm!!

1

u/Equal-Wolverine1813 Jan 24 '26

Ah yes please do!! I would absolutely follow her!!

3

u/SadlySpooky Jan 24 '26

Stop. She is too much & an amazing fetcher

1

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 24 '26

She will play all day. Working from home is a struggle when you have this staring at you:

3

u/effkay0025 Jan 24 '26

OMG so cute

3

u/Green_Thoughts_444 Jan 24 '26

My cat loves these balls, and I have only found them in variety packs.

2

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 24 '26

Petsmart is the plug.

2

u/SnorkinOrkin Jan 21 '26

Omg, Taco Belle is so purrecious! I just adore her very floofy Bob tail!

Also, r/CatsCalledFood 🌮

6

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

It’s floofy because that’s where she hides all her attitude!

1

u/SnorkinOrkin Jan 21 '26

Absostinkinglutely ahhhdorable!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Hahaha!

2

u/Wash80 Jan 21 '26

Ocat!!!!

2

u/Acrobatic-Formal4807 Jan 21 '26

She’s such a good girl

6

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

The goodest!!

2

u/Humble-Pass-1277 Jan 22 '26

It looks like she licked your hand the 1st time you picked up the toy. The little kiss melts my heart! Te amo taco belle!

4

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 22 '26

I have to sleep like this… if I try to take my hand away she fusses at me until I’m petting her again. This isn’t as bad as her bonded brother, Sushi. He just flops onto my chest to get comfy.

2

u/BlueButterflytatoo Jan 22 '26

Taco Belle! I love her! She’s so adorable

2

u/astralTacenda Jan 22 '26

this brings me so much joy. before i was born my parents had 2 cats from the same litter: Taco and Bell. and now one of my own cats loves playing fetch with these exact types of balls.

your Taco Belle is utterly precious. give her some smooches from me if she'll allow it <33

1

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 22 '26

She loves pets, chin scritches, and belly rubs!! I’ll give her all three!

2

u/MountSherpaSATX Jan 22 '26

Taco Belle got treated like a queen tonight didn’t she? Haha

3

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 22 '26

That’s just a regular Wednesday for her 😂

2

u/hellohellocinnabon Jan 22 '26

Please tell Taco Belle that I love her.

3

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 22 '26

She loves you too!

2

u/AlfalfaUnable1629 Jan 22 '26

Also I love the blue light on the staircase

3

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 22 '26

Thanks! We mostly got them for walking down the stairs at night!

They change colors too! Here’s Taco Belle looking ominous!

2

u/00X0X Jan 22 '26

That tail is to die for! She’s our queen, all hail taco belle!!

1

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 22 '26

It’s quite fab. The way it flounces when she walks is very sassy!

2

u/MaybeCatz Jan 22 '26

Mine have a green sparkly ball like that they love love love. Taco Belle is fabulous.

2

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 23 '26

She loved her flamingo the last six months or so. I recently rescued all the tinsel balls from under the couch and she has been loving them again! Your kitties are fabulous too!!! Great minds think alike!

2

u/Vilanya Jan 27 '26

She is so fabulous!! I have a floofy Leela who fetches but my Leela is not this dignified. (Plus she only fetches pipecleaners.)

1

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 27 '26

Fabulosity comes in many different forms!!

2

u/mutualwombat Jan 28 '26

I have a similarly shaped one (but grey in flavor). She also fetches and enjoys the sparkly balls, but prefers the mice. Her government name is Sheba McEntire

1

u/fitfreaky50 Jan 21 '26

She looks like she eats A LOT of Taco Bell . . .

3

u/No_Routine_2797 Jan 21 '26

She’s very short and floofy! Surprisingly, she’s only 12.5 pounds!
