I was laying on my bed reading my Kindle yesterday and Grace came up to lay on me like she usually does. I was petting her and trying to read when I kept seeing a long hair out of the corner of my eye. That isn't an odd thing around here because Emma has long hair and it gets everywhere--in the tub, clogs the drains, on our clothes, stuck to towels and rugs. It's just annoyingly everywhere. Ugh.
So, I keep swatting that darn hair out of my vision and poor Grace kept dodging my hand. I think she thought I was gonna smack her. That was one insistent hair, I tell you, it kept coming back, right into my line of vision as I read. And it was super annoying.
I finally stopped reading to catch that darn thing once and for all. That's when I realized that it was Grace's whisker that was in the way--one freakingly long whisker. Like she's been growing it for years, aka Rip Van Winkle. (Well, she does sleep a lot these days.)
So, I say to Grace, "Grace. Dude. What's with the whisker? Why do you have such a weirdo whisker? And why do you have to stick it way out there in the universe so I can't read my book?!"
She just purrs and closes her eyes like she doesn't care. And that makes me laugh.
Grace weighs like 14 ounces these days--can't get a pound to stick on her for the life of me, but she can grow a whisker like no other. What is with that? Maybe all that food is going straight to the whisker. Great. Now I've got a 14 ounce cat with a 10 pound whisker. Criminy.

14 ounce cat ten pound whisker...
Now that's funny. Thanks for the Monday morning amusement.
Sometimes Midnight likes to stand on my lap and tickle my face with his whiskers. It may be annoying, but I don't want him to stop. Not really.
Hahaha. That's too funny.
This reminds me of the afternoon I was napping on the couch and felt something tickling my nose thinking it must be MY annoying hair. I open my eyes and see Sammy's face and his super long whiskers were up my nose...
As long as it's Grace growing those whiskers and not you....
That is just too funny, but yet sad too. I'd love for her to give up some whisker weight and pack on some regular pounds. :(
Poor Grace. Living her late cat life and growing her whisker. We will all miss her when her time comes.
awww.... poor little funny Gracie ....... she sounds like a sweetie...
Now I have this funny picture of Grace in my mind.:)
So sorry she can't gain weight.:(
awww, poor grace...I wish I couldn't get a pound (or two or ten) to stick to me :)
My ass has been totally laughed off here.
What a sweetie, Grace is. She sounds like a purrfectly lovely little old lady cat! I love forget-me- nots as well, but mine are not out yet.
P.S Loved your message about your new top, and how you put your necklace with it! It is such a wonderful feeling when you know that someone is enjoying something that you made! Thanks Pal!!
My whiskers break right off. I think I have whisker envy.
Have you considered that maybe Grace grew that whisker so that she could get some blog time over Hobbes ? :)
Vanilla--And I'm almost half kidding. That cat is hilarious these days.
Chuck--I love to just look at those things and wonder why they are shooting out from all over their face. It's kinda funny and cool at the same time.
Duni--Hahaha! I like that story! :) Now THAT is love.
Betty--Well, if you count "Chinny"..... ;)
Liz--Yeah, girlfriend is getting old, but we're still laughing together she and I.
Patty--I'm hoping it doesn't come for a long, long time. I love that cat.
Bumblevee--She is hilarious. Actually funnier than Hobbes, which may be hard to believe.
Jean--Well, I'm working on the weight thing. Maybe I should be eating the cat food and she should be eating the yogurt I'm eating!
Tracy--No Kidding! Maybe I can do a fat transplant.
Kathy--So you don't have an ass anymore??? That's gonna be hard to explain.
Hot Rocks--I love that Grace--she is such a hoot. You'd never know it though. She looks very serious.
Daisy--I will save it for you if it falls off. Maybe you can glue it on, Daisy. Sorta like a whisker transplant!
Ann--Or she's just bored and it gives her something to do. ;) I don't think growing whiskers takes much energy.
Grace is such a sweetie! Isn't is wonderful to read with a kitty close by? Even when their whiskers get in the way!
Hmn....that's very odd. Perhaps when it finally sheds you'll get lucky and find it!!
Well, you know when we girls age we stop growing hair on our legs and grow it on our faces.
