June 17 was a fatal day for our Sacha girl... She got hit by a car before breakfast time as she did not show up when Pieter put all the bowls out in the garage. That was strange. At noon, just as we sat together with a cup of green tea and the mail, the doorbell rang and I opened. There stood the neighbor from across the street with a cat in a bag; literally. His young son was with him. They had picked up 'their' dead cat from the road, they thought. As they were about to bury her; their cat showed up. Oh my gosh it must be the neighbor's cat they said and they had to notify us. That was quite a sad and shocking news. She was still warm but dead. Her chin had gotten a blow and her hind legs were scraped at the knees... I cried, this is such a sad thing and she will be dearly missed by all of us. Her siblings and her human parents.
Rest In Peace dear SACHA GIRL...

Here I am holding Sacha in my hands, she is only 4 days old. She is born in our home and was the middle baby of 5...
Here she is romping with her two brothers as they are almost six weeks old.
One week later at the age of 7 weeks; all 5 are napping on my covered chair in the Rose Suite where we all had moved temporarily.
Almost 8 weeks now and playing all 5 together. Learning and discovering life...
Now they are 8 weeks. ALL together napping on this foot stool.
Their Mamita Spicy, whom we rescued and brought home from Acapulco, Mexico is looking on.
Sacha with her white socks and gloves was the easiest to recognize all the time.
Sacha is almost 3 months here and sleeping in a box...
All three sisters napping on top of our down duvet... 5 months old here.
Three days later, all 5 siblings napping on the cotton mat in front of the French door to the balcony...
Sacha was like her Mamita Spicy, a tuxedo cat.
Ten months old here and Sacha was like her Mamita Spicy, a master at standing on her hind legs.
Bandido is very vocal, showing his teeth while talking. Sacha was the most vocal; we will miss her talking...
She could just hold on to the down-folded table flap to stand tall for 'begging'.
Whenever we had a cup of coffee or a tea she wanted a cat treat!
Please Papi or Mami; give me 3 of those crunchy treats...!
We always had our coffee or tea as the mail man came. Here something in a parcel was wrapped in tissue paper. Sacha claimed that right away! Now she looked 'gift-wrapped'...
Bandido or 'Dido' as we call him, was her favorite brother and look how they napped together!
4th of July, 2011 and Sacha is watching the US Flag... The Georgia flag is on the other side, not seen here.
December 9, 2011 Sacha got picked up by daughter Liz before we left to the Atlanta airport where we dropped Liz off...
That was the last time she ever would hold her.
A picture from last year on the driveway where they all love to lie and roll...
April last year and Sacha always was vocal. Here she says goodbye to all of us...
Cuddling her, was not that easy as she was very shy but once she was in my arms; she melted and loved it.
She always caressed my face with her velvety paw; I love you Mami...
How I miss my sweet girl!
I like to use a quote here from my best friend: 'Only those who share love in life, share sadness in death...'
