🖤 An Interesting Specimen

This is Gryffin. He is 13 years old screams like a banshee and is the first cat I’ve ever seen drift (he has no idea where his back legs are from a injury when he was a kitten) and he, also well, he looks like that.

Exactly, sometimes it's hard to believe he is real.

He looks like Salem crossed with Gizmo the gremlin

u/the1stmeddlingmage 8h ago

Gizmo is a Mogwai. Magwai become gremlins if they eat after midnight

u/Throbbing-Kielbasa-3 7h ago

The distinction is extremely important.

u/KassellTheArgonian 6h ago

But isnt all of technically after midnight? If I feed him at 2pm its still technically after midnight

I've made a whole folder, and I don't even know his name!

u/M0thM0uth 8h ago

I think his name might legit be "Mr Interesting Specimen" and I am here for it if so!

I also have a lil selection of himb

u/Watermelon_Crackers 8h ago

OP stated his name in the post lol. And at least one of the pictures shows his name on a collar.

u/LowraAwry 8h ago edited 8h ago

Well now I'm feeling pretty f stupid since I distinctly remember checking twice, the comments too, so that I would use his real name and still couldn't find it. I wasn't kidding when relating to mr Gryffin deep-seated tiredness.

u/Lightmyspliff69 7h ago

I kind of think he looks like Toby Jones.

"They're fucking identical Robert!"

u/Lightmyspliff69 7h ago

They have the same eyes. Black kitty is more handsome though, no offense Toby.

He’s so sweet!Does he want to marry Winkers? Can you imagine their weird eye kittens? Even though they’re probably both fixed. I know Winkers is.

Omg I am in love with Winkers! What an adorable face.

She is the absolute funniest cat we’ve ever had, too. She purrs like a blender.

u/embos_wife 8h ago

Omg, what a beautiful face! Very panther like, I love it!

4

u/DeJoCa 🖤 1h ago

You’d love her. She was a rescue from a very sat situation. She was hurt. It’s taken her almost 3 years to fully trust. But she’s the queen now!

2

u/embos_wife 1h ago

Those are the best. I have had a dog that came from a bad situation. Some things she overcame but others were just hard boundaries. 17 wonderful years with her. I have another dog from another sad situation now and he trusted pretty quickly, but can confirm that there is no bond like the one an animal forms with a person they learn is safe after bad things. They are ride or dies in the purest sense and it heals something in me. May you be blessed with many years with this beautiful queen.
