Gracie, the Cat of the Day
Name: Gracie
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Domestic Shorthair
Home: Syracuse, New York, USA
 
   Gracie is a very special girl with many talents. I adopted her while I was still recovering from the loss of my special boy cat Cody. Cody died at age fifteen after suffering from diabetes for three years. Adopting kitten Gracie was a shock to my system. I wasn't used to a kitten that could run faster then the speed of sound or could leap over tall sofas in a single bound. After living with an old cat for so long I had forgotten what kittens were like. It was during this time that Gracie was given the middle name, Rocket.

    Gracie's favorite toys are plastic garbage bag ties and that band you rip off of milk containers. She enjoys hiding these under the blankets on my bed and hunting for them. Many a night, I have turned over onto something plastic while I was sleeping, ouch! Gracie also tries very hard to cover up her business in the litter box but no matter how long she works at it, she never comes close to covering it up. Her sister will come along afterwards and do it for her.

    Gracie is a silly, lovable, friendly little girl who makes me laugh every day. She was a gift that helped me through the loss of Cody as well as the loss of my mom and later my sister. I don't know what I would have done without my little silly Gracie girl to hug.
