TBT - first cat

Among the old photos, mom bean found this one of Sasha when he was a furry little kitten.

Sasha came to live with mom bean and our bean sibs in July, 2000.  They had moved into our old house and decided it was time to bring a pet into the house.  Little did they know that nearly 19 years later, he'd still be here.  (I'm very happy that he is! - Mom)

As most of you know, Sasha is the elder statesman of the family. He has put up helped with all of the kittens who came later.  He was best friends with Silver.  Sami adored him, and he was pawtient with Shady, Silas, and Saku too.  He wasn't a big fan of Sheldon, but tolerated the kid while he was here.

These days he spends most of his time sleeping.  When not napping he is reminding the mom bean that it is dinner time, or letting her know he wants out in the sun room.  This photo was taken yesterday when the sun warmed up the room just enough for a quick visit.  Even mom bean came out and sat on the steps for a bit.  

Oh, and last night Sasha scared the daylights out of the mom bean.  She was just about asleep when she felt something on her face and just about jumped out of her skin because she thought it was a spider.  Then she realized it was Sasha's whiskers!  He was giving her butterfly kisses to let her know he wanted her spot on the bed.  Of course she moved over!

Have a great day efurrybody!

  6. Sasha reminds me of my Tungsten. She was my first cat, and she had to put up with a lot from those whom I brought home after her. She always would have preferred to be an only-cat, I am sure.

    The whiskers on the face made me chuckle. I usually get Renn’s fluffy tail, and there’s no mistaking it for anything else!
