This is Gracie, my garage cat. She moved into the garage many years ago after the previous garage cat died. She is Shadow's mother and although they don't look alike they are similar in personality. His litter was born in the garage and after adopting him and finding homes for his siblings, Gracie visited the Vet and was spayed. She goes outside in the morning and terrorizes the cats who hang out in my backyard. I think she does it for sport and to get a bit of exercise but she mostly just lays in the laundry basket and sleeps. I've lost track of how old she is but Shadow is over eight years old and she must be three or four years older but she has kept her looks and doesn't look a day over five.
