Gracie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Gracie
Age: Six years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Russian Blue
Home: Davenport, Iowa, USA
 
   I have the coolest cat on the entire planet. She's a female Russian Blue that is in love with me and no one else. A friend from Germany, visiting for Christmas 2000, bought her for me when she was six months old. He thought I needed a companion since I'm an aging bachelor living alone in a house in Davenport, Iowa.

    Gracie is super affectionate, she loves to be petted and pinched in the back of the neck, she likes to head butt me, and sometimes likes to play fight with my hand. In that case she softly uses her teeth, never breaks the skin. She purrs loudly often. She's kind of a poser doing long stretches with one back foot in the air. When I come home shes almost always there to greet me with a short chirp "hello". She loves attention and is often in front of me while I'm at the computer. When it's time to lay down and relax to t.v., she jumps up on my stomach and nestles in. If she's feeling extra affectionate she'll relocate to my shoulder with her head directly next to mine purring away. She joins me in bed at night and in the morning she likes to knead my chest, shoulder and arms continuously like a little cat masseuse. I tell you, I used to think cats are aloof but this one is in love with me. She even comes when I call her. Super intelligent. She doesn't get along well with other cats and hates car rides, but she enjoys all people accept for my girlfriend of whom she is a little jealous. Games? She loves to chase after spot lights, play soccer with balls, jump into drawers and cabinets, explore new areas, generally likes to be up high - one of her favorite spots is on the stair railing pedestal.
