Mr. Grayson 😭I got 3 years to love him and I soaked up every last second from the first day to right before his last. ❤️
Kelly, his mama told me at our meet and greet she had 3 cats. Mushu a kitten, Dusty, and Grayson🥹 as we talked she told me Dusty and Grayson always hid, so it was very unlikely I would ever see them on my visits. I was to go over twice a day to feed them canned food. They also had kibble for the in between. She told me if they wanted to eat they would come out. At first they would come out to eat but any move I made and they were gone and might not even come back out to finish before I cleaned it up and left :( I hated it. From day one there was just something about Grayson. I never really understood it because he always hid or scurried away. I could tell he was curious though. As time went on he started coming out more and getting closer and closer to me and letting me pet him. And then I really don't even remember how long that took before we were just buds. His sister Mushu would always wait for me at the door as I entered. Then along came Grayson talking as soon as Id walk through the entry to the rest of the house. Eventually Dusty would follow but that took even longer. I used to feed her on the stairs away from me so that she didn't feel uncomfortable. Almost every single visit it happened just like that!!! As time went on and I got to care for them more frequently, Grayson got more vocal and more loving. The Love bites began. One of my favorite things that he used to do when I would pet him. They were the sweetest, kindest little nips. I always knew what he was saying 🤭 he eventually started coming to the chair I would always sit down in and cry from me to pet him. Eventually he started sitting in my lap. And the rest is history. He had a million nicknames from me, sometimes a few extra treats🫣🤫. Puzzles, playing with toys, getting cuddles and tending to his elderly care up until it was time to say goodbye.🥹 I loved that beautiful peach tabby boy so, so very much!!!
Grayson was a big ol Mama's boy too. Grayson was 18 years old. His sweet mama got 18 yrs with him. How amazing is that? He meant the absolute world to her too!!! Please keep his mama and siblings in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to try and navigate without him. Losing him is truly a great loss and she's a mess over it. He and Dusty were very close also and I'm sure she's also very lost. 😞
Im so grateful for the trust she put in me from the beginning, all the way to the end. I will remember my sweet guy forever. We have soooo many memories just in our 3 years together! As time has passed I had forgotten about some until I saw photos. It's truly a treasure that I get to spend the amount of time with these babies that I do. They are all so special to me! Losing them is so hard especially bc they aren't even mine. They are forever etched in my soul. This fella especially ❤️
Rest Easy Sweet Grayson. 🥹🐾
