Nine Months Old

Today, October 9, 2008, Shombay is nine months old and weights in at just over 16lbs.This is such a shock because he was only 4.5 pounds when he came to live with us on April 9. He just took off with my tape measure, so I will have to check his height later. The photo below shows him with the little baby harness he wore on his plane ride to Ohio.



Aja has grown as well, but not to that magnitude. Remember, she is slightly older.As you can see below she makes it impossible to do paperwork outside my office and they both love to shred paper fresh from the printer.



This is her favorite resting place(because of all the extra padding). The only problem with that is I have to turn up the volume on the T.V. because she purrrrs so loudly.



Growing so fast takes a lot out of a kitten!

Meet Aja and Shombay

Aja was born May 3, 2007 to Kboo and Wari and Shombay was born January 9, 2008 to Kboo and Mbau. (All of AJSavannahs) Kboo did a wonderful job raising both with a little help from Adrianne and Jason. They came to live with us (John and Rita) in early April, 2008.


We carefully selected traditional African names because of their Serval ancestry. Aja means "High Priestess of Mecca" and Shombay means "He who walks like a lion". Both of their names reflect their personalities.


Aja is our little "Diva" and Shombay is still a kitten with typical kitten clumsiness. Both are full of energy and curiosity. With new toys almost daily, they are spoiled too. Pictures just don't seem to do them justice.
