gracie

 

 

gracie is a cat that came with the neighborhood or maybe the neighborhood came with gracie

 

she introduced herself the first day we moved in

 

tortoise shell and extra fluffy

 

gracie hung out in our sunroom for the first few days

 

she used the broken screen to enter and exit as she pleased

 

i thought she was a stray

 

we gave her a food bowl that stayed in the sunroom and even a cardboard box to have her kittens in since she seemed so nesty

 

she was not pregnant and has never had kittens

 

gracie demands attention yet she wants none

 

if i ignore her, she climbs up my leg and bites me

 

if i crouch down and call her, she completely ignores me

 

she is not photogenic

 

she is a gorgeous cat although no photo i have taken yet could actually prove that

 

gracie climbs trees

 

gracie taunts dogs on leashes

 

many mornings i have to manually remove her off the roof of my truck

 

gracie sneaks in my house any chance she gets

 

i woke to find her in my kitchen on more than one occasion, kind of stephen king like

 

after getting to know the neighbors a bit gracie soon came up in conversation

 

everyone seems to have the same experiences with her

 

i wasn’t the only one who was feeding her

 

i wasn’t the only one petting her

 

i wasn’t the only one cuddling with her

 

i wasn’t the only one getting bit by her

 

i wasn’t the only one waking up to find her in my house

 

gracie has several families that have adopted her or maybe that she has adopted
