April 28, 2010: My sweet Sashi

Unlike her glad-handing brother Sami, my Bengal cat Sashi won't let non-family members pet her. While the Chairman of the Board Sami will run downstairs to meet and greet any visitor, Sashi will run up those stairs or at least retreat to a safe distance. Then something unusual happened. I talked to my mother last night, and she told me that recently Mike, Bebe's dad, had stopped by. That's when the miracle occurred -- Sashi entered the kitchen where they were, went up to Mike, and let him pet her! My mother said she couldn't believe her eyes. I firmly believe that Sashi sensed that Mike was feeling grief over the loss of Bebe and was offering her sympathy. I have good kids.
