Caught an unusual pose for Gracie this morning, and had to share.
She was unusually affectionate today. I picked her up for a “hug” and she didn’t push away with her front paws (she usually hates being held, but will tolerate it for a brief time). And I started calculating her age, as her birthday is March 15th. She will be fifteen years old. This is that cat who I’ve seen near death twice. I did not think she’d outlive Tigger 2. He was healthy; she’s always been sickly. Obviously, I was wrong. I guess she has seven more lives to go. Meantime, Tig 3.0 will be four on February 18th. Yes, it’s been that long. Hey, I celebrated my third anniversary in this condo in September, and in a few weeks, will have been working at Job in Northern VA for five years, as a contractor and staffer.
You know, three of the five things I’ve mentioned in this post came about at least in part due to this blog. I got my condo partly as a result of my job, which I got via a tip from a friend who became one from reading my blog. And I found Tig 3.0 through the advice of a friend at work, who got two Maine Coon cats from Wendy’s Feline Friends and suggested I look there for a Maine Coon kitten. Blogs are amazing. I wonder what else lies in store for me via this blog?
I see that you’re a fan of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever.
Good stuff, Meryl.

Was. I got tired of the series a long time ago. Those books are only there because they’re worthless at the used bookstore where I tried to sell them.
your last two cat pictures [this and the one of Tig from Jan 12] have been simply spectacular, even among your generally great cat pictures.
Sheer luck. I am really not a photographer.
