Sad Cat


Poor Curious George...
George's birthday is on Thursday (Happy 1 year!!!!) and poor George is trying to figure out what is going on in the house. 1 year ago Thursday, George came into this world as one of three kittens in Cali's first litter. He and his sister, Matilda survived while the third kitten had passed before anyone got home (Cali had the cats while we were at work). Our friend was responsible for accidentally letting Cali get outside which lead to Cali getting pregnant and stuck 20 feet up in a tree and when the kittens were born our friend agreed to take one. Low and behold, the friend ended up becoming the roommate and George got to stay in the house with his mom Cali and his idol, Charles. This means it took a lot of work to break George of the habit of suckling on his mother when he was wwwaaayyy too old to be doing so and it also means George is still to this day rather attached to his mom. He is also a very vocal cat. His nickname is Meeper because he will mew from one end of the house to the other when he wants attention.
So, Saturday the Kittens were born and now Cali is consumed with the duties of a new momma cat and is basically ignoring everyone else including George.
Because of this George has been very pathetic. Mewing from my room to the kitchen to the living room to the hallway and back and actually being quite cuddly. He seems to be getting better by the day but George finally realized he's a big boy now and doesn't actually need his mom.
I look forward to a few weeks from now when his little half-siblings are up and running and he gets to be the big brother being pestered by the herd of 5 but in the mean time he's getting some extra love from the humans in the house by his mewing on demand.
