		<description><![CDATA[Natasha was the sweetest, most well behaved kitten I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.  While my hubby and I were out doing some shopping for our furry friends at <a href="http://adoptions.petsmart.com/" target="_blank">PetSmart</a>, we met found something we were not expecting.  He called me over to look at one particular kitten in the adoption center.  She had a huge resemblance to our <a href="http://www.rainbowbridgeangels.com/merlin/">Merlin</a> that we lost a month earlier, so much so that I burst into tears when I saw her.  We went home, mostly so I could put myself back in order again.  Then we went back to Petsmart, and half an hour later, brought home this new little bundle of joy.  

Natasha was eventually dubbed with the nicknames Tasha, Tash, and Shatasha, which I would say was her favorite as she always came over when she heard it.  She enjoyed crawling on us while we were about to fall asleep, producing the loudest purring I have heard from a kitten.  Her favorite toys in the house were my hair ties - she would throw them up in the air, catch, and repeat.  At only eight months old, she was diagnosed with FIP (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_infectious_peritonitis" target="_blank">feline infectious peritonitis</a>), and she passed away just a few days after <a href="http://www.rainbowbridgeangels.com/stalker/">Stalker</a>.   <br /><br /><div align="center">

		<description><![CDATA[Stalker was the first cat I ever owned.  I adopted him, along with his brother, from a <a href="http://adoptions.petsmart.com/" target="_blank">PetSmart</a> in 2001 when he was 10 weeks old.  I nicknamed him Stacks after a while.  He loved crawling under the covers to cuddle, veggies (especially broccoli and mushrooms), and was one of the most tolerant cats in terms of being picked up, flipped over, and held like a baby in my arms.  He had very symmetrical striping all over, and his fur was soft, silky, and shiny.  He was nine years old when he succumbed to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphoma_in_animals#Lymphoma_in_cats" target="_blank">lymphoma</a>.

		<description><![CDATA[Cookie was a a Snorkie - part Schnauzer, part Yorkie.  My mom had instantly bonded with Cookie from the moment she picked her out of the bunch at <a href="http://adoptions.petsmart.com/" target="_blank">PetSmart</a>, and for the next two weeks, the love she felt for Cookie just multiplied.  She bragged about her new puppy to anyone within earshot.  She bought her all kinds of pink accessories, from the day she adopted her and onward.  She requested Christmas presents from others be cute, pink puppy things.

Cookie easily became her best friend, sitting in her lap when my mom did her work at home.  Sleeping right by her head every night.  Barking and scaring away unwanted guests from outside her apartment.  My mom couldn't be more proud of the new addition to her family, showing off new photos and videos every time I came over to visit.  Even though my mom's time with Cookie was tragically cut short by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_distemper" target="_blank">distemper</a>, I'm sure that Cookie enjoyed the best three weeks a puppy could ask for, being doted upon and loved every moment.

My mom couldn&#8217;t be more proud of the new addition to her family, showing off new photos and videos every time I came over to visit.  Even though my mom&#8217;s time with Cookie was tragically cut short by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_distemper" target="_blank">distemper</a>, I&#8217;m sure that Cookie enjoyed the best three weeks a puppy could ask for, being doted upon and loved every moment. </p>
