Hello from Graycie’s World where I sink beneath her 12.5 pounds of clingy Tortie rescue cat. She loves to be petted. If I stop, she nips my hand. Adopted as an eight-year-old, she’s been with us for 1.5 years and exudes a quiet dignity yet lacks boundaries. Graycie will jump in my lap and then sit on her canine sibling Misty, the original house queen, making the dog her pillow. And, this often involves placing her rear in Misty’s face. The dog, also a self-absorbed rescue, is not amused.

Ah, Graycie’s a keeper. She takes her place in the world without apology, demands what she wants, and purrs when she gets it. A great role model.

Ok, not really. She does make me laugh at her outrageous, thoughtless, me-first behavior. No one herds a cat.

Some days I might be the cat. I’m not proud of this, but… How about you?
