Sarjenka is an absolute cuddlebug! She would give me facials with her tongue all the time if I let her! I got a facial last night when she was sitting on my chest in bed. I adopted Sarjenka from DCIN after she spent 2 years and 4 months in 2 DCIN foster homes and she has been with me almost 3 months. I was so worried she would not eat and be scared when she arrived, because of living with a cat that terrorized her. Sarjenka's personality blossomed almost immediately, and with me she is so loving. She was discovered to be older, more like 10, and has some spinal arthritis/spondylosis, and some early renal issues, but had a very good dental with no extractions! Sarjenka plays up a storm despite her arthritis-you would never know she has it when shes playing because shes flopping all over chasing her red ladybug fuzzy toy. Catnip pillows are the bomb, she says, and will lick and lick them. I think the catnip mellows her out for BearBear too. Her tiny terror torti self comes out unfortunately for BearBear. She screams at him (less now) and chases him out of her safe room (walk in closet) even though she spends most time out in the main room. She is curious about him but doesn't want him too close. BearBear is being so good about it all. I am madly in love with my tiny torti girl! Give your votes to Sarjenka (formerly Sandy), you wont regret it!
