Pasha

Pasha - died on July 27, 2010

Instead of sleeping with his head carefully tucked in,  Pasha was always more of a freestyler.

His meow was insistant and whining, as if I truly did terribly wrong by him. Needless to say, he was spoiled wrotten.

Luritja

Luritja - died April, 16, 2009

All my cats consider trips to the vet as scary and stressful events, fully expecting to be tortured and murdered, or even starved.

Not so Luritja. While waiting in an empty exam room one day, he nonchalently got out of his carrier and went to sniff around, midly curious, neither nervous nor jumpy. Finally, just as the vet was stepping in, he flopped on his back onto the floor and offered his belly with a benevolent look.

 The vet couldn't help but laugh. "Goodness, she said, somebody around here is not too stressed!!!"
