Gracie May, the Cat of the Day
Name: Gracie May
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Calico
Home: Missouri, USA
 
   Gracie likes to play. Sometimes, she will take your hand and act like she's going to attack you, but she starts to lick your hand. When you get the milk jug from the refrigerator, Gracie meows because she wants milk. She has come a long way from when we first knew her.

    Gracie was an outside kitten. We saw her outside on our patio. We left cat food and water on the patio for her for several days. One day when she was on the patio, I gave her some fresh water and fresh food. She began eating. It was cold outside as this was a few days after Christmas. So, I went to get a towel. I put it on her back to keep her warm. She shook it off. I petted her for awhile. Just before my Dad came to pick me up, I asked Mom if I could keep her inside the house. Mom said she would think about it while I was with my Dad for the weekend. When I came back from my Dad's house, Gracie was running around in the house. I was really glad.

    Of course, she didn't have a name when we first let her in the house. One time she came in Mom's room. Mom and I talked about what her name should be. Mom thought of Gracie and I agreed. We call her Gracie May.

    Now, she sits on my lap. I talk to her in my language. I'm sure she doesn't understand the words, but that's okay. I know she understands how I feel about her. I love Gracie May, and I think she loves me right back. Sorry she looks a little startled here - I think she thought she was well hidden under the table until I snapped the picture!
