Sputnik, My Siamese Cat

Sputnik, my siamese cat

I spent some time yesterday cleaning out my photos on my computer. Besides having more computer memory, I discovered some forgotten shots I had taken last year. Here is my siamese cat sunning herself by the balcony window back in November 2008.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport.
