Thanks for adopting an adult shelter cat. I've had my Gracie for about a year and she's been wonderful. (Same story, but I was looking for an older cat. She picked me out as well.)
I haven't posted in a while, but I picked up a new camera and have some new pics of Gracie.

I'm not home during the day, so I'd hate to think the mischief a kitten would get into. Gracie's been very calm and relaxed about the whole thing. It seems like she's been sticking to the cat toys and sleeping. (And sleeping a lot, based on the times when I'm home during the day.)

The transition has been much smoother than I expected. Doesn't shed too much, no litter box issues. Occassionally decides I need to be up before the alarm clock goes off, but it's not a big deal. It's rather pleasant being awakened by a cat nuzzling you.
Hi all. Adopted a 5 yr old tabby from the shelter about a month ago and she's been a wonderful addition to the family. Originally went in to look at another cat, but Gracie decided she had to come home with me, running over and marking all over my shoes/leg.
