Say Hello To George
Everybody, meet George.
Isn't he gorgeous?
We picked him up from the Cats & Dogs home (in Rathfarnham) last Friday week, and he's settled in very well. He's house trained (thankfully), and his favourite activities are chasing things, sleeping, eating and spreading kitty litter all over the utility room floor (we're hoping he'll grow out of the last one). He also loves snuggling into his Mammy and Daddy on the couch of an evening.
We always had cats while I was growing up, but George is Nikki's first kitty, and she's loving it. He's also great around guests, and fell asleep last week when we had people around and we were all jumping around playing Wii Sports, so he's pretty cool really. In fact, he's very cool.

Yes he is a cat, Sevitz. And he is gorgeous. If you can't see that I can't help you!

Matt, he's lovely. I don't like cats as a general rule. Too many of them at home, but he looks like a character. A mad man. :) Kinda like his dad.
Where does the name George come from?

Yes, he is a mad man. Just like his... Hey, hang on a minute...
The name George? It's the first of my Dad's two middle names. And we thought he looked like a George. :-)

But yeah, he is very cute and FAR too smart for his own good.
