This is George. He was my first kitty. George was a wonderful cat. George passed away 2 years ago in April. I wanted to remember him in this post. We named him "George" after the Bugs Bunny cartoon where the big white guy picks up a small animal and says "I will love you and hug you and call you "george."
George was originally a barn cat and loved the outdoors. I live next to a busy road and kept him inside. He loved to look out the window and in this case the screen door. He and Parker were buddies.
George was always great to take naps with. He would often come and sleep next to me. Jim took this picture early in the morning. George also slept next to my belly, alerting me that Parker was starting to grow inside me before I even knew for sure. He did this up until labor and then he gave me the cold shoulder.
George loved to explore things. He liked to check everything out.
He was a good mouser too. I would put him outside on a leash and halter and he still managed to catch a few treats.
He would often crawl into really snug places for a nap. Like a box that was too small for him. I don't think he was napping in the paper bag.
This is Kitty. He belongs to my Mom and Sister. He had a love hate relationship with George. Many times they would sit in the same room together. Sometimes Kitty would swat at George and chase him. Kitty still dislikes me to this day. He will hiss at me when I walk past.
We got Parker a stuffed orange cat of his. George did this on his own, posing next to the stuffed version of himself.
I took George for a walk in a baby sling, inside my coat on wintry day.
He always wanted to be the center of attention. He would lie down in the middle of the newspaper, or study the sewing machine as I was sewing. Here he has found the perfect right next to the tree. I should also mention he was a naughty kitty when it came to the tree. He would climb the branches and tear it apart.
We miss you George. Thanks for being such a wonderful pet for our family.
