So about that cat...

I didn't mean to adopt a kitten. It just sort of happened. But isn't she cute (KA-yute)? Her name is Sasha and this is her story.
Sasha had a decent life, she thought, on the campus of William Carey College. But Momma-Cat thought that she needed domestication if she was to make it in this cruel world. So being a wizened old cat, Momma-Cat cleverly placed Sasha near the Theatre building, a place known to be full of bleeding-heart animal lovers. Sasha knew a good thing when she saw it. When the girl with a generous smile and sweet demeanor walked towards her, Sasha played her part. She mewed and purred and let the girl pet her. She acted skiddish and shy and tugged at the girl's heart-strings.
Girl could not keep Sasha but knew a friend who would be willing. Thus Sasha made her trip to Eagle's Nest apartment No. 4. Melody and Sasha enjoyed one day together, a day filled with eating and napping and bonding. Unfortunately, Melody was allergic to Sasha; a medical fact that Melody hoped would be overcome by her love for the kitten. That night Melody could take it no longer and Sasha came to live with Eryn and Chloe.
At first, Eryn took Sasha to the 24 hr vet, in hopes of finding her a new home without putting her in danger of exposure to the 'Humane Society.' Alas, the vet would not take the adorable little stray. Eryn was told that the kitten seemed healthy and did not show signs of any detrimental feline diseases.
Eryn was sold and the little fur ball was christened Sasha, which means 'helper,' in hopes that she would be a friend to Chloe.
Chloe was not happy about the new addition to the family. She hissed, growled and pouted. But not even selfish Chloe can resist the power of friendship. Sasha is slowing melting the ice around Chloe's heart, while Eryn is constantly reassuring Chloe that she is still loved whole-heartedly.
Time will tell how this little family of females will fare.
