Grady is so funny! We just can't get enough of her silly antics. She is feeling better and getting super playful...it is too cute! She is still cuddly though..best of both worlds.

Sweetest kitty on earth!

So Grady has been here for a week and we love her to pieces! She has a cold, but is slowly starting to feel better. She is getting more curious and seems to have a routine we have figured out. She gets up in the morning with us and likes to follow us around while we get ready for work. She will often sneak her way into the clothes closet (which we don't allow her in) while we are not looking. She will also meow until we tell her good morning and pet her. She also climbs into bed with us at night...curling up into a ball right between us both. She is such a snuggly kitty too. She loves to just lean up against us and tip her head back for us to rub her neck. She hasn't been too playful yet. Her cold and medicine makes her sleepy and she rests a lot. She has started getting up more often though and last night she ventured into the bathroom and explored the tub, sink and mirror. She is so cute when she goes snooping around!

So...we have a baby!! We are so excited and LOVE her so much we can't believe it!! I happen to go into the SPCA with my friend Ashley on Saturday evening right before they close. We go in there a lot just to say hi to all the animals and such. Well, this particular time, I saw "Hershey" (that was the name they gave her at the SPCA). She was so sweet and I could not stop looking at her!! So, we head back to Ashley's house to hang out and John comes by and I could not stop talking about her. John LOVES animals and keeps asking me if I want her...needless to say we came to the conclusion that we would adopt. The catch was this...we had a our friends daughters christening that day and the SPCA only allows adoptions from 1-3 on Sundays. We would be at the christening for 12:30 leaving us no time to get her before and barely any time to get there for 3. We thought we could call and put her on "hold"...sounds terrible, but there was just something about her that made us really want her. We call when they open and tell us that they can't hold animals!! I was so sad, but then figured we would head out to the SPCA for 3 and if someone had already adopted her, then it wasn't meant to be. We get in the car and before we drive anywhere we call to see if she is still there....and she is!! The rest is history. We pick her up and take her home.

Now, those of you who know me know I have been known to have a cat allergy...but it hasn't been bad the past few times I have been in houses that have cats...so we figured it was worth a shot. We have been wanting a pet and Grady just seems to complete us right now at this stage in our lives...apartment living is by far not conducive to dogs in our book. So here she is and she is sweet as pie...follows us around and loves to snuggle!! She was pretty sick from being abandoned but she went to the vet today with Daddy and he has her on all the right medications to get 100% better.

Her name comes from the coloration of her paws up her leg..it is gradient (a term used in the art world)...so John just came up with Grady and it just fit!
