A new life for Sr. Gris ... Floyd, that is

Today I took Sr. Gris to his new, loving home in central Austin. His new adoptive parent is the best I could have ever hoped for for Gris. She even got the exact kind of baby food that he enjoys. Gris' evolution throughout the past few weeks has been nothing short of astounding; he's gone from a painfully reclusive, skittish little soul to a loving, trusting, and hilarious kitten. He actually runs up to Rififi and "marks" her, rubbing his face against hers while purring loudly. What's more, he hyper-extends his tail up over his back, just to show how happy he is. I have no doubt that he's going to be the happiest cat ever in his new surroundings. I'm looking forward to posting pictures of him and his loving new caretaker. Just goes to show you what a little love can do.

To-the-minute update: His new name is Floyd!

To Our Texas Buddy, Floyd:

Best wishes to you and your caring new parent from two of N.C.'s coolest and possibly oldest cats.

Floyd says: "Meeeeeeeeow," which loosely translated, means "Thanks!"
