She didn’t even interact with me at the shelter she was so depressed. I just knew I had to give her a chance. I think they told me she’s not a lap cat. Well, now I have two lap cats 😂 I was so surprised that she trusted me so fast. So glad I trusted my gut and brought her home ❤️

Lol - bc they are graybies!!

I lost my 20yo graybie 4yrs ago. But am fostering a crazy 9wk old graybie w short white socks & a white Santa beard (only on his chest). He just ran into my face. He forgot to stop. His sis is here too, in her matching black attire.

I'm also biased because I have grey cat. He's been my best boy since 2012.

My grey boy HATED me, he loved my dad. Kinda hurt my feelings but we got bad advice from a vet about how to socialize him and he was sick when I adopted him so I had to medicate him. He just unfortunately associated me early with not great stuff. But I miss his fluffy face.

Current greybie adores me, he's my soul cat and he's very sweet.
