Jewel and Shadrack meet their Great-Grandparents (with a side about Molly)

Some people are fortunate to meet most, if not all of their grandparents in their life. Every so often, you get people who are fortunate enough to meet their great-grandparents. (My nieces have actually met their great-great grandmother.)

My "kids" got to meet two of their great-grandparents. One of the downfalls on having cats as kids (as opposed to humans) is they are not very portable. So, the chances of them ever meeting their great-grandparents is slim to none. (2 are in Fl, 1 in NE, and 4 in Lexington, KY)

However my mom's parents, known as Granny Pat and Pa, made a stop into Louisville tonight to meet the kids. Shadrack is not one to like strangers, so we tried to trap him so they would at least get to see him. He was ok, until they got out of the car. As I held him, he started to scramble......after a few claw marks, I gave up and he ran under the bed.

Jewel was social. I was a proud momma. She did not try to bite or hiss at them. They liked her and said she was very soft. She even gave a courteous hello to Granny Pat. She sniffed them and then acted like such a lovey cat. She was even good when Jason held her.

Jason and I were pleased since we got a free meal out of the deal. (Thanks, Pa!!!)

Now the cats have met most of their human family. (Their grandparents (including Dad), their 3 aunts (I guess Bill is their uncle), their 3 cousins. They really haven't met any of the feline cousins. Jewel was fortunate to meet Molly, the Kemp family mascot, before Molly went to doggie heaven.

This is Molly. She is a funny dog!
