Sleepy Eye Lion

Dedicated to my sweet friend Steffi
just because... she's awsome!

Sha-Sha, [ short for Seizonsha, Japanese for "Survivor" ] is our cat who, for those who've known me a long time on dA, may remember and is WELL aware of.

Sha-Sha turned FOUR on October 1st. We adopted her from Foster Care Jan. 1st 2008. She was our 2nd cat, and we were basing all cats on our first cat, Jikan- a stray, always sweet and easygoing, and that was a mistake!

Sha-Sha is truly as if a WILD LION, and is like have TEN cats in one! She came to us already with one eye, and we had to take care of a 2nd surgery on the non-eye a year later. She is TWO in personality, of a complete terror, but adores toys and can be completely affectionate as well.

We LOVE her like no one else probably would have.

[ She just jumped up to snuggle on my lap- and bite- right now as I write this! ]

Here is a photo of her from exactly ONE year ago both in when I submitted and about when I took it, too:

A couple others:


I do have lots of her, but it had been a year since a new one- she was sleepy here, which is rare.

Steffi, is a great and supportive friend, and always so kind and nice to me!
I love all of her work and particularly her animal photos!
Check this out of some of her real actual wild cats!!!

[The first one is a close relative of Sha-Sha's! ]

Dear Steffi,
Thank you for your wonderful friendship.
You are so sweet, and I always remember your kindness!
I wish you well on your path in this life.
Your Friend, Tea
