Dearest Graydon, a.k.a. Grady, what a beautiful and precious fellow you are! You're absolutely gorgeous, a truly handsome man of the world. Your brown and grey Tabby fur is so pretty and looks so plush and soft, and what a sweet face you have, with those lovely big eyes looking out at me. Those uneven ears and eyes add to your charm and individuality! Thank you for sharing those great photos with us! They show you off so well, a mature gentleman who has clearly been through more than his share of challenging life experiences. Now you are living the safe and comfortable life of an indoor cat, and we can see from your photos how relaxed and at home you are. (And how nice to see you and your Tuxedo pal!) I wish I could reach through the screen and down to West Palm Beach, FL to gently pet you and skritch your chin (only if you like chin skritches, of course), and pet your kitty and doggie housemates and bestow skritches on them, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you all and bestow skritches as desired for me .

And what a story you have to tell! You were an outdoor stray who came to the carport of your dear Purrrson-to-be, along with many other cats, all coming to be fed. You were not neutered and you had bad eyes, and you looked as though you'd been through the wringer, so to speak. He/she was able to befriend you, then trap you and get you neutered. A few months later, she returned home to find you in the yard, badly injured. She rushed you to the vet, thinking you needed to be euthanized.. but it turned out your injuries were treatable, and you were treated and eventually recovered. I am so very glad and grateful for your wonderful story of rescue and recovery, and so glad and grateful for beautiful, precious YOU! My deepest thanks to your Purrrson and all who helped you. Bless them, and bless you all!

Now it's eight months later, and you are right at home, an indoor cat now and member of this wonderful multi-cat and dog household. You haven't really been big on playing so far, but just the other night you surprised and delighted your Purrrson when you got very playful with the laser pointer! You and she and kitties and doggies all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Graydon, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrson and kitties and doggies and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe another session with the laser pointer!
