Formerly known as Grey Boy, Greyling is a small cat with a big soul.
She's not just spoken to me in my dreams, she's even visited friends locally in their sleep, especially since she became a Mum. (Fred is the only one of her kittens who has found a home so far. Is she looking for homes for the others?)
(She likes Zorro best, big sooky gentle Zorro.)
Sometimes Greyling comes in for dinner later than the rest. Usually I feed the latecomers separately in the Bathroom or in the Hall because, of course, those already fed will all just keep eating.
Greyling won't touch any food until she can share it with the rest of the tribe.
She's not a cat you'll meet out front. She's shy. She hides in the Wilderness behind the place.
Once Greyling decides that she loves a person or a fellow cat, she is the most loving sweet-natured affectionate little feline I ever met. (And I have met some very special ones in my time!)
Most of my cats are very figurative if I dream of them, they may have fluffy blue or green fur or polka dot markings or even pony tails. If they talk, they say they like their food and they don't like dogs, they say they like this plant or that, and, (apart from Sylvio), they don't much like rain. Sometimes they tell me what they feel some people really are like in their terms.
When Greyling arrives in a dream, she is always her own self and she makes unusual sense.
'I like this place. I want to stay around here,' she said before visiting another local friend in his dream. He was so convinced she was in the house, he got up to look for her, but that was when we all thought she was a boy on account of the size of her balls.
Stanley is spending more time inside recently, the only one not precisely tempted by the odours of Spring. I think he's enjoying the pats and the cuddles as I work out back in Kitchen Dining and Lounge Rooms. (Possibly also he's looking for food handouts when I cook!)

After cruising through the American blogger sites this weekend, I am reminded of that crucial anniversary - the 11th of September. The title of the book your cat is pictured with is a poignant reminder.
Re your comment about the book my Grey Cat was considering on 9/11, I thought I'd add an interesting insight into the traumatic experiences of those times. The Australian band Midnight Oil were touring in the United States then. Rob Hirst from the Group wrote about the impact of the events as seen while touring. It became a book, eventually published as Willie's Bar & Grill. Significantly for the band, it was that tour which caused lead singer Peter Garrett to decide to quit music and to go into politics. Garrett is a long time campaigner for peace and environment and today is an Australian Labour MP.
