Here is a list of all of Natasha's imaginary friends and animals. Although many started as real people they are now transformed into an all -imaginary cast and live at our house (or at least visit often):
The Boys:
Ralphie: approx. 8 years old, wears a red baseball hat backwards, orgin: a character in the Magic School Bus book series.
Kenny: approx. 8 years old, has a dog named Storm. Origin: a neighbor of one set of Natasha's grandparents
Chris: approx. 12 years old, wears a green hat backwards. Origin: had Happy Birthday sung to him at a restuarant where Natasha ate lunch over a year ago.
Peter: approx. 2 years old, Origin: an actual child that Natasha met at the park about a month ago.
Luca: 5 years old, Origin: a former member of Natasha's preschool community who now attends a local Kindergarten.
Kanta: about ten, character in "My Neighbor Totoro"
Pazu: 13 years old, character in "Castle in the Sky"
The boy: an unamed character in "Babe"
The Animals
Dandy: horse, lived at our neighbors Tom and Nancy's house, and before that lived in downtown Cupertino, now deceased.
Storm: dog, see Kenny above.
Shake-shots: cat, Shake-shots transformed this week to be a living cat. She is Mona's daughter and a kitten. Natasha let us know that she nurses Shake-shots.
Squirrel-Squirrel: squirrel, used to live with Natasha when she was a baby but then Squirrel-Squirrel moved to UCSC and lives outside of the Humanities 1 building.
Bunny-bun: rabbit, lived with us when Natasha was a baby, now lives outside the Social Sciences 1 building at UCSC.
Lulu: dog, belongs to a friend, Lulu is less of an imginary friend and more a dog Natasha likes to pretend to be at times.
The Kittens: cats, I haven't heard about them in awhile but there were a whole group of imaginary kittens living under our front deck for quite some time. Natasha fed them cut grass and acorns while refusing to get in the car for most of the summer.
Water Gophers: gophers of unknown origin, also lived under our deck and fed the leaves of an unknown deck plant.

There's another boy: the boy who's in the shop window in Make Way For Ducklings. He's spent some time sick in our livingroom.
And there's Jeannot from The Glorious Flight. She told me she wants to go to Cambrais in France to meet Jeannot. She wants to hear if he has a loud voice or not.
