cat of the month
The girlblog Cat of the Month for June is: Grandpa!
Grandpa is a quiet kitty from the Netflix TV series Love (2019-26). An orange and white tabby owned by protagonist Mickey (Gillian Jacobs), she believes Grandpa to be the reincarnation of her deceased grandfather. Makes sense.
From what we see of Grandpa, he appears to be a very docile cat who often sleeps next to Mickey at night. There's a brief panic during the episode "The End of the Beginning" when Grandpa gets out of the house and Mickey frets that he may have been eaten by a coyote. She goes searching for him, but whilst placing flyers on people's cars she's told by a grumpy old man that he may have been admitted to a local "kill shelter."
This is complete bullshit and it's a totally normal animal shelter. After a long day of searching, Mickey heads home and finds Grandpa safely returned in the arms of her caring roommate, Bertie (Claudia O'Doherty).
Grandpa remains a happy, lazy cat throughout all three seasons of Love. Yay!
