Anastasia, the Cat of the Day
Name: Anastasia
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Russian Blue
Home: Grenoble, France
 
   Before I could get a cat I had to first get straight A's for two years. Finally my parents gave in! Then my mom had to have a none-shedding pet and she didn't like cats! But there was no other choice, Russian Blues don't shed much and cats are less work than dogs. So we came home with Anastasia.

    Annya is a very playful and cuddly cat. She loves to play fetch and tag. She never drinks water from her water bowl. She loves to drink out of either our fish bowl, or she'll run ahead of you to the shower asking you to please turn on the tap so she can take a sip. Russian Blues are known for being very quiet but Annya is very verbal. She has nine different meows depending on her mood or situation. She follows my mom all around the house and can get her way because my mom cant take her whining, and when my mother gets mad at my whining Annya defends me!

    Annya is very smart. She can follow commands (sit, shake, stand and reach) but only for treats, otherwise she has a mind of her own! When my mom does the laundry she makes it a point to sit on all the clean towels! Sometimes I'm jealous of her because she stole all my pet nicknames from my parents! When my dad gets home he asks where is his little girl. I never know if he means me or Annya! I was an only child until she came along! But we love her more than we ever thought we could love a pet. And Annya is more than just a pet. She is part of the family! (PS: There will be a custody battle when I go to college!)
