A Grayson Update

This is Grayson. He is the kitty who wandered up one day while I was working in my backyard. He has decided to hang with us, and has his own peculiar way of doing things.

For a skinny kitty, he can eat a whole can of cat food in one sitting. Sometimes he likes to jump up on the counter to help you fix his dinner.

He also would like to sample whatever you might be eating. He prefers Cheetos over Doritos and enjoys a saucer of milk from time to time. When he discovered that Shaggy the Cat preferred canned food over dry, he decided to follow suit. While he and Shaggy have developed a tolerance of each other, I think Grayson secretly hopes that one day they will be great friends.

He will follow you from room to room - I'm not sure why. He still wears the pink jingle bell collar he showed up with - so it's funny to hear him as he jingles from room to room.

When he goes outside, he often disappears for hours, and sometimes we wonder if he's decided to go back home. But after while, he's back again, ready for a meal. He's usually always ready for a nap, even if it's on the top of the remote control.

I'm not sure why Grayson ended up on our patio. I'm not sure why he left his other home. The only thing that I'm sure of is that for now, he is with us. For whatever reason, for whatever period of time, he's our little blessing. Come to think of it, that's how most blessings are.
