Kessie makes a new friend

This is one of those "aaah" moments ...cute cat...cute little girl! You've met Kessie before....and here he is meeting a little baby girl for the first time. He looks curious and not the least afraid of the little fingers coming towards him. His owner was visiting with another of our co-workers who is currently off on maternity leave and Kessie decided he wanted to visit with a new friend. He sat patiently when his head was touched (this is the first baby he has met) and moved closer for a better look. Friends fur...ever!

Kessie wearing his Xmas clothing

Kessie is a beautiful Russian Blue - a rescue cat belonging to one of my friends at the office. There are several of us at work who know the joy of owning a pet (or two or three!) that has been abandoned by his or her owner and we are thankful that these animals have come to us, where they are welcomed into a family that loves them. When my friend talks about Kessie, her eyes light up and she has a wide smile as she describes the latest event in Kessie's life.

In these photos Kessie is wearing his Xmas finery - looking absolutely handsome, as ever. He enjoys having his sweater on since it gives him some additional warmth in this cold winter. Often his ears feel cold to the touch but when he has his sweater on, his ears are nice and warm.
