My Grey Kitty had a way of staring into space that might have been deeply philosophical. My husband, however, always suspected that if you could see a cartoon depiction of her thoughts, it’d be an empty bubble. Other cat-owned humans have likely seen this in (in)action. Those who knew GK will know precisely what I mean.
GK had white highlights on her face and more of a sprawling belly, but otherwise the likeness isn’t too bad.

Just because we see the bubble as empty doesn’t mean there is nothing there. GK had her own kind of wisdom.
I think the bubble was often filled with “I want …” but then it was not clear what she wanted – probably not even to her, half the time.
But GK definitely made her way in the world pretty well. She certainly managed to get the humans to organize their lives around her. Exactly as it ought to be, of course.
That’s the worst pounce stance I’ve ever seen. LOL
But it’s a pretty good yoga-for-cats posture … I think it might be called the Soggy Mop.
I think Grey Kitty may have been deeply philosophical and also might have been a great blogger, had she the tools. Speaking of grey kitties (and cat bloggers), our Henry passed last week. She was 16. When I’m feeling less weepy, I will write a memorial on her blog.
