Gray's Summer is Long

 I think, like us, Gray is getting tired of summer.  He is spending more "quality" time inside with us and seems content to be able to look outside rather than be outside.  We are keeping him inside at night now.  At his 2nd annual check-up, our vet advised we do so, after seeing a few scabs from bites and missing fur patches.  Apparently, he is a Beta-cat and "submits" during the cat fights rather than taking on the aggressor role.  Since he is so stoic, that didn't surprise us.  A street-survivor that came to us a year ago, we are learning his ways and adapting to cat-life.  I still miss the pounce and attentiveness of our dog, Lia, but Gray's patience and easy nature is a good presence for us right now.
