Here's what the humans have to say about me:
DOB January 11, 2012. Gracie has lovely markings, with a fluffy white shirt front and four white stockings with a coat of brown tabby stripes, buttoned up around her belly, going straight from her head across her back and to the tip of her tail. She has a pink nose, a white smudge around her mouth, cheeks and whiskers, giving her the appearance of having dipped her nose in a bowl of milk.
Gracie has a gentle, easy going, adaptive personality that enables her to fit right into any household. She is energetic, curious, and restless, so she is moving around much of the time. She is wary, especially about humans, as she has a very real fear of entrapment. She will always find a place where you wouldn't think of looking when there are strangers in the house. She is very affectionate and responds easily to human affection and affection shown by other cats. She loves to be petted and rubbed down, especially if you are down at her level so that she understands that there is no danger. While she doesn't really like to be picked up, she yields very quickly to enjoyment, purring loudly, and pushing herself into you. She is very curious, always on the move, but is particularly fascinated by the sound and movement of television, showers, flushing toilets, falling snow. She is very accommodating in accepting any food put in front of her and never shows any interest in any of the human food in her vicinity. She is very clean and takes very good care of herself.
Gracie is not a fighter, biter, or scratcher. Though gentle and unassuming in human terms, she clearly has a feisty cat personality. She has fitted in well with the two female cats in her foster home, holding her own against their passive aggression and established forms of behaviour. Gracie has achieved what no other foster cats have achieved in her foster family - that she can eat from the food bowl at the same time as the other cats and she can choose to sleep in a number of key comfy spots and the other two just let her sleep there if she chooses. Without any aggressive behaviour, she has become the dominant of the three cats. Gracie has even managed to engage the two older, more sedentary cats, in some active play.
Her foster dad shares: "I have really grown to love Gracie in the three months, she has lived with me. I would have kept Gracie in my own home as another home cat were it not for the size of my apartment and my commitment to my own two cats. She is a delightful, pleasant cat to have around, not demanding of attention, well behaved, completely healthy, able to hold her own in the world of humans and cats!"
