Our Little Friend

I just realized that I haven't introduced our little friend to you guys yet... we met her during the first few weeks after arriving in Torino. She has a cool name, Asia (pronounced ah-si-ah), and she lives next door. We became close after babysitting her a few times. Asia now comes to visit us at least once a week. Tonight she came over again (through the balcony) so I was able to take photos.















I don't get along with cats because they bit me and spooked me with scary shining eyes when I was a child. So I never thought this kitty would like me since she should be able to sense the unfriendliness from me. It was a surprise when Asia chose to sit in my lap (no kitty has ever done that before!) instead of Syd's (and he's a kitty boy). Asia is the first kitty that I have ever enjoyed to play with! I'm learning to be a friend to a kitty in Torino.
