Sasha the kitten -

We got Sasha last weekend from a rescue organization and he's a 16 week old kitten who is an absolute delight. What's best is he and Andrei occupy each other for hours playing games like hide and seek or chase.

Ever since we brought Andrei home, we've noticed that he is extremely gentle with animals including Chianti and our old cat Merlot. Unfortunately a few weeks ago we had to put our lovely kitty Merlot to sleep, she was 15 1/2 years old and was a great cat but getting old and had some serious health issues.

Since Andrei loves animals so much we decided to get another cat and again went through a rescue organization to add Sasha to the family. Sasha will definitely add a new angle to the Andrei stories.

She looks like a very sweet little kitty.

Sorry about Merlot...it's tough to lose a pet. Sasha and Andrei look like they will be buddies.

Sorry to hear about Merlot.

Your new kitty is very cute!!! So awesome you took the rescue route!

(I just looked down and thought my word verification was "boobies" ... but no, it is "bobbies". I wonder how they come up with those?)
