This is a very VERY old photo of Mommy and the kitty who started it all. I have told you about T-Gray before. You can read his whole story in two parts, here and here.Mommy was still in undergraduate school living with her roomates in this picture. She and T-Gray were still getting to know each other as he had only been with her for a few days, yet Mommy was smitten with that kitten! Later in the evening on the very day this photo was taken, Mommy learned the importance of having a screen for the fireplace because curious kittens love to walk into the fireplace in the middle if the night after the fire has died. Then they like to walk all over the house with ashy paws.
T-Gray learned that same night that he did not enjoy baths...
Mommy learned that kitten claws are very sharp and so are little kitten teeth!
They both learned that love is really all you need.

Aw, what a sweet picture of your mom and T-Gray. And you have to worry about kittens walking into a lit fire...Wally did that when he was a kitten...walked all around the firebox while the fire was going! Can you imagine???
(we have a gas fireplace, not a wood burning)
