Sputnik, Fellow Earth Traveler

Sputnik is a beautiful Siberian Forest Cat living a dream life in northern California. He spends his time with a family who loves him dearly, his every need taken care of. He’s sweet and a joy to be around.

But one day something changed. He refused to go outside. He was irritable and seemed glum. His mom took him to the vet — everything checked out fine. Obviously, he wasn’t fine. What could be wrong with him, his mom fretted.

Thankfully, his mom and I are friends from college. We’re connected on Facebook, so I became aware of this challenging behavior. I offered my services, she accepted, and the rest is history. See the outcome at Stories and Testimonials.

Meaning: Russian sputnik (zemli), fellow traveler (of Earth). https://www.thefreedictionary.com/sputnik
