Likes:
He loved giving loving head butts and attacking my mother's feet as she slept.

Pet-Peeves:
Closed doors always drove him insane. If he couldn't open the door himself (either by turning the knob or pulling it open by sticking his paw under the door), he would sit next to it and yowl until someone opened it.

Favorite Toy:
He never liked toys. He was always able to amuse himself.

Favorite Nap Spot:
In our family room, Santik loved to sleep on the couch and armchair. He wasn't one to sleep on laps.

Favorite Food:
Everything that was given to him.

Skills:
He used to be able to say "Mama." Also? He knew how to pee in the toilet. And? He used to be able to turn doorknobs.

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story:
During the summer of 1990 in St. Petersburg, Russia, my dad -- standing outside, talking with a friend -- looked down and noticed a tiny black kitten curled up on his shoe. He thought he looked like he needed a home so he took the kitten to his. When my mom, my sister, and I came home from vacation, we were very surprised to see the cat. (My mom disliked cats her whole life, so she was less than pleased to see a street cat with crooked legs -- which straightened out over time -- in her home.) However, we fell in love with him and he was allowed to stay. In fact, he became such an integral part of our family that we even took him to America with us in 1994. He was a very lively cat up until the summer of 2006 when he began showing signs of aging at 16 years of age. On June 4, 2006, he took his last breath with my mother (his favorite human) at his side. He is terribly missed.
