Georgia Lily

She loves sleeping on any piece of our clothing. 

Today when I came in from cleaning my car I spread my snowy coat on the bed to dry.  And look who's decided that is a comfy spot to sleep.

This has to be the best cat we have ever owned, or should I say that has ever owned us.

Clueless

She's in for such a shock.  This is the first time we leave her overnight.  So she is camped out on top of the suitcase.  Sakaura is suspicious and is in the other room giving me furtive looks when I checked on her.

We are only away until Wednesday morning, and they will have plenty of dry cat food and water and an extra litter box.  We will feed them their canned cat food before we leave - that is the only thing they will miss.  Oh and us - yelling at them to stop scratching on furniture  - I'm sure they will really miss that.

Georgia again

Peekaboo

Trip to the vet

Georgia went in for her annual checkup today.  We've been home for hours but she's still in the carrier.

Jack Russell cat

Don was groping for words yesterday and called Georgia "that Jack Russell cat", which is so appropriate.   If ever there was a Jack Russell personality in a cat it would be Miss Georgia Lily.

Christmas Tree Shop Cat

Georgia loves bags.  I knew it wouldn't take long for her to hop into this one.

Queen of the hill

We got a new piece of cat furniture and look who took over the top spot!

Best buddies

They just kept moving closer and closer together, so I could not resist a picture.  There is still much hissing and fighting, but it's more in play now than in anger.  Sakaura has taken a motherly role, and Georgia likes to be the baby.  Honestly, Snoopy must be rolling over in her grave to see these two cats getting along.

Rainy day cat

Nothing escapes her attention. We came in and my wet umbrella was a tempting spot to roost. Georgia, what an entertaining cat you are!

Buy one, get one free

I am trying to work here, but took a small break to read the weekly grocery ads.  Georgia will have none of that!  She is purring so loudly now that she's knocked all the papers down to the floor.  But its impossible to get mad at her.

Party!!

The cats are so funny. All we need to do is say the word Party! and both will run into the living room and wait for some treats. No matter where in the house they may be, that is a magic word. And, as you can see, they actually party together. I missed the initial ritual though before the party begins. Georgia waits for Sakaura to sniff and lick her head, and then they both wait by their "plates". They are really becoming friends.

Beauty queen

Pretty Sakaura.  She gets nowhere the attention that Georgia does.
She has sort of become a mother figure for Georgia though, and that is nice.  They get along very well and actually chase each other playfully. 

Hard to ignore

I'm supposed to be working but this face is hard to ignore.  She's up in my face now headbutting my hand trying to type this on my phone keyboard and purring so loudly.  I guess it's time for a cat petting break!

Georgia Lily loves balloons

She's having such fun.  The little feather toy beside her is her current favorite, too.  She is just the most playful cat.  It's hard to believe she is not a kitten, and has, in fact, had her own litter of kittens.

Testing a new blogging tool

I'm playing around with standalone blogging tools. I have tried Windows Live Writer which is okay. Today I downloaded Zoundry Raven, and I am just testing here to make a comparison.

I took the picture above with my cell phone. Sakaura looks like a deer in the headlights! Don has a lot more hair and a few less scars!

Long overdue update

I think the cats are both relieved that Don is home and all appears to be “normal” here again.  Normal being that they get their food at their “normal” times – no more waiting until after dark some nights.

Don is still sleeping in the middle bedroom and I think the cats take turns sleeping with each of us at times.  I usually wake with Georgia sleeping on my feet though, and Sakaura sitting on the floor staring at her.

They get along so much better now.  They even play, when they think nobody is looking!  And Sakaura bathes Georgia like she was her kitten.  And then in the midst of all this niceness, she will turn on her and attack her like she is a bitter enemy.

They are fun though.  And pretty good kitties.

She's the boss

This is the cutest cat ever. She has the most wonderful personality.
That is a giant yawn in the picture.  I had looked all over the house for her when I got ready to leave so that I could make sure she was not in the closet for the day.  She was downstairs on top of the file cabinet and when I saw her she looked so bored with the whole thing.

Sleepy Saturday morning

Who am I kidding?  Every day is sleepy in the cat world.  Actually I guess today is officially "Caturday".

Yesterday I was showing Don how to use the phone in his room, and had him dial our phone number and leave a message on voice mail.  I promptly forgot about this, so last night when I got home I had an extra message on the phone.  When I heard his voice I wondered what would happen if I played that message for the cats.

I put the phone on "speaker" mode and replayed the message from Don.  They both came running and sat and listened, turning their heads curiously, and I just know they recognized his voice.  They still miss him so much.  When I bring in laundry,  they sniff and sniff, and if I place a bit of it on the floor one or the other of them will sleep on it.

Don continues to improve.  He has been in rehab almost three weeks.  This weekend he begins a test of eating food on his own to see if they can discontinue the tube feeding.  He had the trach removed Wednesday evening, and swallowing tests done early Thursday morning.  He's been eating almost regular food since then.

I don't have a projected date for his homecoming, but I am sure the two cat girls will be so happy to see him!

This cat loves bags

Last night when I came home from the rehab hospital I just tossed my stuff on the floor so that I could quickly feed impatient cats.  After I sat down on the sofa to catch my breath I heard a rustling noise and found Georgia Lily had crawled into the laundry bag.

Don continues to improve.  He just asked me how the cats are doing so that reminded me to show him this picture.

My reason for coming home nights

I swear these kitties are a lot of work but without them my house would be so empty.  Georgia Lily is such a poster girl.   And she seems to love to be photographed.
