pasha, which means prince in turkish, is 15 years old. he is my father's cat and i mean that in every sense. my dad would serve him an extra fillet of salmon, put milk in his saucer every morning, and essentially live life as a receiver. and he's a beautiful cat. a siamese/himalayan mix, his white fur and blue eyes are stunning. but he's old now. his white fur is now more gray. he has arthritis in his back paws, which discourages him from his true joys--chasing birds and hunting mice. but one thing still remains and always will--he is a prince.
