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. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline.
After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I had an entire row to myself in the back of the plane for no extra charge. Thank you Korean Air.

Because my cat didn't have a mircrochip, she had to be quarantined for 10 days at the airport quarantine facility. That was another detail to take care of prior to entering the country with her.
Anya, thanks for translating her name into your language. That is too funny. I know the name from the first Russian rocket.

Sputnik has done more travelling than I... and she did so great with the trip. My "kids" (my cats) won't shut up on the shortest of trips!
And that picture is stunning - just like your cat!
