George

Georgy Girl

This is the story of George.

George first came to live with my dear friends Jackie and Maura after being rescued from under a friend's rental house up in Crestline, California.

George settled happily into life at Jackie and Maura's house.  There are a lot of animals there, and life was good.

Not long after rescuing the kitten, Jackie discovered George was a little girl!  However, by that time the name had stuck.

George was a little shy of Maura.  So, George became Jackie's kitten, and would love for Jackie to carry her around.  George would also sit on Jackie's lap.

Pixie was rescued about the same time.

Pixie became Maura's kitten.  Pixie, a little boy kitty, liked Maura, but was a little afraid of Jackie.

And so it went along peacefully for a while.

However, Lucky, my Jack cat's sister, also lives in this household.  She is Jackie's cat.  She has been Jackie's cat for more than two years now.  She is a feisty little girl and very opinionated, just like her brothers.  Lucky decided she liked Pixie just fine, but almost immediately hated George.

Really hated her.

Lucky would swat George and hiss at her whenever they met accidentally around the house.

It was not pretty.

Jackie tells it like this:  "Then, one day George suddenly didn't want me to pick her up any more.  She was staying in Maura's room and letting Maura hold her, while Pixie moved into my room.  He is now my buddy and wants to be loved and petted and carried around by me."

HUH?

She continues, "And Lucky now has no issues with George.  I think she wanted to be my only baby girl (the rest of 'mine' are all boys) and told George and Pixie they needed to trade places."

The Family Tree

Now there is peace and harmony in the land of George once more.

Isn't it amazing that the cats worked this problem out all by themselves?

I think so!
