Collage of Nana 1

I made two collages of Nana's photos. Here is the first.  You can also see her with Pongo, the black-and-white male. Nana is a white calico. She injured her right eye when very young, but this has pretty much healed now. The other two calicos--who all acted like sisters or cousins to each other--Gracie and June also injured their right eyes. Gracie's was the worst injury, but she has recovered some sight in that eye thanks to the surgery Dr. Daimon performed last summer.

Nice photo of Nana

Nana stayed with us for about 4 months and then moved to her present home, north of Fukui City, last year in November. She took over as 'big sister' for the little boys, Pongo and Babe, after Gracie and June left. Nana really loved to 'mother' Pongo and Babe, and she was also good at playing with them. She was a tremendously fast cat who used to run a circuit around the office, which also included a lot of vertical movement. She kept everyone very active. 

Nana and Pongo enjoy the sunset.

At one time, Elvis, Gracie, Nana and Pongo would all gather to watch the sunset together. It was like late afternoon TV for them. Now it's Pongo and Babe. This is a photo of Pongo and Nana just before Nana moved to her new home.

NANA-CHAN

Nana-chan has found a new home

Nana has moved to a large farmhouse outside Fukui City. In fact, not far from where Pushkin lives. I'm sure she misses Pongo (and Gracie and Elvis); Pongo sure misses her. As you can see from the photos, Pongo and Nana liked to cuddle up together.

PORTRAIT OF PONGO



HERE ARE TWO PHOTOS OF NANA AND PONGO TOGETHER

They are as close as brother and sister. Or perhaps Nana, being a few months older, has become like a surrogate mother to Pongo. I'm so glad they get along well since they have to share the rather cramped space of my office until someone lets them join their family. I really hope they get to join the same family so they can continue to be together. They seem to keep each other from getting bored.
