We adopted Gracie because her picture reminded us of our wonderful Morgan — gray, one-eyed and sadly homeless. They are nothing alike. Morgan can entertain herself (and anyone else) while Gracie needs someone to play with her (all the time!). One is healthy while the other had issues. One eats most things, the other drives me crazy.
They also do different weird things. Morgan had her ribbon which morphed into her blankie. Gracie however, has the washing machine.
Yo, is my mousie in there? I think I see it! Gotta get it out!
How do you open this darn thing! It’s getting everything wet!
This fascinates her for at least five minutes every time we wash a load. She bangs at the window while it twirls and spins. Makes her happy (or excited) and that makes us happy!
Morgan: Maybe we can take her back to the shelter and get a real mousie.
With Gracie around we are safe from marauding washing machines. Bless her!

Cats know what is important in life. Both of yours are adorable.
This year we are lucky with the huge army of assorted types of lizards/chameleons that like to vogue on the window screens. Both the cat and dog claim their windows for the shows….good for a few minutes of peace anyway. They seem very intense on ironpet marathon training.

No lizards here but the chipmunks give them a run for their money.

Has she ever climbed inside? I suppose with her fascination you can’t assume she wouldn’t!

No. We keep it open to dry out afterward and she has no interest unless it’s swirling.

It’s good to have someone keep an eye on the washer…socks disappear in them and maybe mousies.

Socks for sure. Gracie heard about the socks and watches so nothing happens to her mousies.

Cats are so easy to entertain … and so entertaining.
My daughter, the lawyer, has been working long, hard hours. Every day she calls me on her way home from work, and we’re still talking when she goes into the house and her cats (at least one of them) come to greet her. “They’re the best part of my day,” she says.

Gracie has been quite an experience. She’s a lot of work and had a lot of health issues but she’s a good cat. Doesn’t pick fights and seems to be grateful (sort of…she is a cat).

Having Gracie around keeps us on our toes. If she doesn’t know where we are, she yells. And yells. Until we answer here. Then she’s good.
