From Kitten to Cat {Gracie}

I've had cats all my life and I've loved each and every one of them. However, I've wanted a solid gray cat for as long as I can remember. A few years ago, after my move back to Huntsville, I found a tiny gray cat on PetFinder. I immediately headed to the Athens "Dog Pound" to check her out. She was tiny...unimaginably tiny. She didn't meow and just let you hold her to your heart's content. My mom questioned if something might be wrong with her since she didn't meow like some of the others, and she was so docile. I knew she was the perfect fit, though! I proceeded with the adoption and brought the little kitten home with me.

That little kitten grew into quite the gigantic, yet beautiful, cat! This is her today:




And...this was her back when she was an itty bitty kitten (excuse the quality of the photos, as they were back in the day before my glorious DSLR). As you can see, she soon became quite the boisterous kitten climbing up into the Christmas tree on a daily basis. She loved sleeping in the top of the tree! I haven't put a Christmas tree up since her first year here, because I'm pretty sure the tree would spend more time on the ground than it would upright now!
