Russian cats

Kiska means "kitty" in Russian. Blokhie means "fleas" in Russian. Yes, he was infested when we found him. Bagheera was named from The Jungle Book!	It seems that wherever I go I am not without animals for long. After I moved into my own apartment I adopted Kiska from a foreign service family that was leaving post. My husband is also an animal lover. He is the one who, six months later, suggested we take in Blokhie from the streets. I don't know what it is about Russian cats, but they are very people-oriented and exceptionally sweet natured. When we moved back to the USA, we brought the cats with us and they made the transition without a hitch.
	This is Kiska. Isn't she cute? We brought her back from Russia and she now lives with friends in Maryland.	This is Blokhie. He was abandoned outside our apartment when he was about 4 months old. When we applied for export papers for him, we found out he is a pure breed Siberian!
	Here is Kiska sleeping on the balcony among my broccoli plants. Yes, I had an "urban garden" in Moscow!	OK, this isn't my cat. She belongs to "my" Russian family in St. Petersburg. Her name is Bagheera.
