Grandad is taking care of Zira while I’m away (he’s never had a cat in his house)
Meeting grandad; not amused at first but slowly gettin used to him. He asked “what do I do with her” and the answer was “pet her she’s not gonna bite, she just wants kisses.”

Don’t worry. This distinguished gentleman will take good care of your Grandad.

Looks like she’s playing hard to get. You may have trouble getting her back from him. 😹

Zira is so cute. He'll fall in love in no time (if he already hasn't) ❤

Zira will have Grandad under her invisible thumb in no time (if she hasn't already). He's gonna fall in love with her. How sweet! 💕

I imagine that she will, or at least I hope that she does!

u/SherMurdock May 12 '24
If he's not already, he'll soon be snuggling with her. She'll make sure of it!

He called me today and said she’s the nicest cat he’s ever met.

Ut oh, sounds like ConstantSample’s summation of things was correct! Look out if he gets a cat of his own, whom he soon complains about!

You will return. There will be cat nip and beer bottles everywhere from the rager they threw! Grandpa is her new favorite person.

u/Sheldon121 May 12 '24
Does Grandad do the catnip and does kitty drink the beer? What’s her favorite brand? What did Grandad think of the catnip? Did it turn his mind, ever so slightly? Before you know it, he’ll be singing “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” while he tosses multi-colored flowers off his apartment’s roof! Oh dear, oh dear!

I read that with "Staying Alive" playing in my mind. 🤷🏼♂️🤣

Oh goodie! That’s a great backbeat! And you know you’ll never have to worry about, errrr, dying if your EMTs listen to it.

When I got to the "Lucy..." part I thought of Where the Buffalo Roam w/ Bill Murray haha

Watch out. If you have a good cat and leave them at peoples houses, they’ll not want to give it back and then will get another, cat (possibly not nearly as good as yours) and then will be resentful of you AND you won’t have a cat free friend who will take care of your cat while you backpack for months/

Zira is not impressed with your summation of the cat world or her chances of staying with Mr. McCartney again, and she happens to LOVE him, as he’s such a clean old man!

u/Mvpcat29 May 12 '24
What a sweet baby! Is Zira short for something by any chance? I also have a cat named Zira, which is short for Aziraphale (a character from the book/show Good Omens).

u/Russmindjk20 May 12 '24
Ahh I can see that! Her name comes from Zira in the Lion King 2, she’s the villain. It’s also Swahili, which is a langue I love, and it hates “hateful” or “hate” in Swahili.

I'm an old guy who loves his senior lady cat almost as deeply as I would a human. I'm surprised.

u/Sheldon121 May 12 '24
How’s he faring with Zira? BTW, loving her name! How did you come up with it?

u/Russmindjk20 May 12 '24
He’s had a great time! He’s home and I’m on my way home from my trip. Also thank you! Her name comes from The Lion King 2, the lioness Zira who’s the villain. It’s also Swahili for “hateful” or “hate”

Glad you enjoyed your trip as well! Where did you go and what did you do? I’m curious as I’m overdue for my Florida trip, where I visit my son and go on a fossil hunt every year. Missing that trip a lot!

She’ll withhold judgement until the big question: does he serve wet food??
