Sasha and Scripps

We recently adopted a new cat, Sasha (who we call "Sashimi" or "Sasha-la"), a three-year-old Russian blue. Russian blues are very easy to pick out of a crowd, for their fir is a dark silvery blue with green eyes and mauve (yes, mauve meaning "purple") pads on their feet. She is very vocal about wanting food and attention. She even will bump your hand with her nose if she wants to be petted. If she cannot find us in the house, she cries until we come find her. However, she is a gorgeous, cute cat and she gets along well with Isabel. Her favorite pastime is watching the birds in the backyard. Mum sometimes jokes that she's the first pet we've had that has real animal instincts.
