Greywacke, the Cat of the Day
Name: Greywacke
Age: Ten months old
Gender: Female
Kind: Grey tabby
Home: Salem, Oregon, USA
 
   We recently adopted three pets, including Miss Greywacke. Clearly from the pictures, she can see into your soul. She was named after a grey mineral by her foster mother. Her twin brothers are orange tabbies named Aengus (socially dominant/purr machine) and Grendel (stoner cave beast - really). All three were left by the mother cat on their foster parents' porch after being weaned and were causing serious end of life quality issues for the two dear geriatric cats in the house. Thus we adopted them.

    Greywacke is diminutive compared to her brothers. She is very dainty eater. Even her wee meow is dainty. Her domain is the upstairs and that is the only place she allows herself to be petted, in particular she likes to be under the bed. She needs to be petted, like now, when you are either at the computer or getting ready for work. Like her brothers, she is soft as down. She only eats under the table, while her brothers eat out in the open. Sometimes she will weave in and out of your legs only to run under the bed when you reach down to pet her. Despite her strange ways, she seems to sense when you are sick before you know it and comforts and cuddles with you when you are feeling low.

    She is just as energetic about extreme play fighting as her brothers and can hold her own with the boys. They also obsessively groom each other and sleep together in one great cuddle puddle. Though I've only had her and her brothers for three months, I can't imagine life without them.
