Tasha's story

Tasha is from Sophie's first litter of kittens and was a special bonus package, making her entry into the world quietly and without fuss hours after her siblings.  If I was being sensible I wouldn't have kept her, but I just couldn't bear to part with her.  It was hard enough parting with her siblings, with her brother going to live with my brother and her two sisters also going to extra-special homes. 

She may have had a quiet entry into the world, but as you will probably have guessed from some of her various pet names Tasha doesn't really have the normal shy Russian temperament!  She is utterly adorable, but has the ability to make a crashing noise with a couple of sheets of paper - honest, she really does (TashatheCrasher)....  She can fall on, off, in, out, up or down - she doesn't mind, it's all great fun for her.  She has a water fixation, jumping into the bathroom sink and waiting for me to switch the tap on when she fancies a drink.  She likes to try and join me in the bath and has managed it on a couple of occasions (TashatheSplasher).  I tried blaming Oliver for some of her habits - he is the original doting uncle - but in all honesty I know that it's more likely to be Tasha leading Oliver astray.  I can also see more than a bit of her great-grandmother Stella in her, with her beautiful 'cattitude'.

Although she is now an adult you wouldn't guess it from her demeanour - she is still very much a mischievous  kitten at heart.  Of course, I wouldn't change her in any way as she's wonderful just as she is, the rascal.  Oh boy is she cute, and oh boy does she know it.  She had her first litter of kittens at the beginning of 2008, and proved to be a wonderful mother although it hasn't slowed her down at all!  Her kittens are as crazily marvellous as she is, beautiful, loving and great company!
