This
is Gracie Havana O'Malley (aka, Amazing Gracie, Graciela, Girlie).
I adopted Gracie at the Humane Society just before Thanksgiving ('04).
I was very lonely after the death of my 17 1/2 year old Rascal in early
October, but I'd been traveling too much to think about adopting yet.
Even though I had two more trips planned, the Sunday before Thanksgiving I
headed to the Humane Society, "just to look." I was smitten with the
then-named Havana. I think it was those lynx-point ears that got to me
first. We went into a little "get-acquainted" room for a while, where I
observed her energy, alertness, and incredible cuteness.
An hour later, she entered my home, and firmly planted herself in my
heart (and her paws in my potted plants!). She loves to kiss me,
especially on the nose, before we get out of bed every morning. And
whenever I lie down to read, there she is, right under my chin, motor
running at about 50 decibels! Gracie loves to play with my terrycloth
hand towels, wadding them up and going for the "kill." She's also a
pretty good soccer player, and will scoot just about anything that's not
nailed down across the floor. After several years of nursing a much
loved, very quirky, aging, ailing cat, Gracie's energy caught me
off-guard! One look at that face, though, and I'm putty in her paws!
