Hi dougclarke!! Welcome to GT. I lost my first & only grey, Cody, the previous January, she was 12 & 1/2. I also haven't gotten another yet, but it's due to my old grumpy cat who LOVES being an only pet now!! She gets to have her time... then when she goes, I'll get 2 kitties who actually like each other AND a grey!! (That's the plan, anyway!)
So there are other greyless addicts... I mean aficianados of course!!... here on GT. We'd love to see pix of your girl Carrie!
