What, another cat? Caturday
2009.11.22
Grateful, Gratey for short, points out the date on the calendar so I won't forget when he joined my cat family
|
Gratey is so easy-going, he relaxes in my hand while I try to put his 1 1/2 pound size in perspective.
|
They say to start tennis players early, so Gratey gets his first lesson in eye-paw coordination.
|
He gets distracted when he finds a space between two pillows to explore.
|
He wonders if he did something he shouldn't have.
|
Five days after moving in Gratey is trying to make friends with Quincy. He needs companionship.
|
While Quincy rests, his tail is still active and becomes a perfect toy for a young kitten.
|
Gratey thinks it's funny that he was playing with Quincy's tail while Quincy slept.
|
Gratey finds furniture that fits his minute size. When the other cats play too rough with him, he goes underneath for some respite.
|
This is the first time he has been safely indoors during a rain storm. Pearl and Cosey are surprised to see him bravely coming in close proximity to them.
|
He's a bold little kitten and soon he discovers Pearl's bed and tries it out.
|
But soon Pearl discovers Gratey in her bed.
|
She decides it's okay. He needs a new mother anyway. His real mother was a calico too.
|
So, she takes over cleaning him...
|
... and he finds it very relaxing.
|
Every cat needs a job and Gratey has taken to dusting under the furniture.
|
Gratey, being so small, spends a lot of time looking up and asking for things.
|
He rubs up against his foster mom and purrs contentedly. Everyone agrees he is a great additon to the household.
|
About a month ago, I received a call from the listing agent of a house in Chestnut Hill saying that a Realtor who was showing the house saw a kitten who fell through a window grate and couldn't get out. I went over in the pouring rain to investigate (deciding that the kitten could be called "Grateful" once I rescued him) and when I pointed a flashlight into the grate, I saw four eyes reflecting back at me. It was then clear that these feral kittens were being raised under the grate. I coudn't reach to get them out, but they could come and go as they pleased.
A few days later with the help of the the owners of the house, we trapped the kittens and I brought Grateful home. His brother, Fergus, moved into the listing agent's neighbors house.

Wonderful set - it looks like he's found a good home with you, as well as a surrogate Mum in Pearl :-)
