Grandad was just arrived for 2 years after spending weeks in a hospital for a bumpy on the head but also some confusions that wouldn't go away. The hospital called TBT one day and said "come get him cuz he can't live alone or drive any more". Dad and his brother flew on
Brother took Grandad's car away for him not to drive. Dad settled him into the house with us. Grandad was friendly to us in an odd sort of confused way. He thought some of us were cats from ages ago and sometimes he thought he was in a hotel in Pennsylvania, but we dint mind.
Sometimes he went out on the deck. He liked watching me. He talked to me a lot.
He always liked me best.
But he had a hard time standing out on the deck.
I sat on his lap a lot. He liked that. He called me "Jeremy" often but that was OK too. TBT says that was the cat he knew best "before", and what does a name really matter annyway? He liked me. And I liked him too.
He stayed with us 2 years, but finally needed more care than we could do. Auntie Susan found him a good place to settle his last couple years. He liked the place.
I kinna miss him though.

Very sweet post. It sounds like you had a nice Granddad. XO
Beautiful memories!
Grampie never lived with us and he wasn't around even a year afore he went to heaven. But I did get to meet him. He was nice.
Purrs to you as you remember TBT's dad.
Our Opa, (Grandpa) talked to the kitties that were here before I was...and he did that even having stated he didn't like cats. We kitties can do wonderful things for peeps. Oma, she let then play with her knitting...I wish I had been able to meet them.
You have wonderful memories, Iza.
That is a nice flashback of your Grandad, Iza.
