Chewie, our second cat.

I'd never had a cat until a few years ago when we got a #rescuecat Stoli. Chesca wouldn't let us rename him. Nica baptized him "Stoli Wan Kenobi" (we love StarWars just like most of you). I got a second cat a couple years later to give Stoli a best friend / annoying little brother. With his thick hair, of course we had to name him #Chewbacca - - Chewie. #RIPPeterMayhew #RIPChewbacca #MayTheForceBeWithYou
