Meet Georgina!

Nick and I have adopted a kitten!  We named her Georgina, but we call her Georgie for short.  She is the sweetest kitty.

We got her last Friday and the first night she was so afraid of us and stand-offish.  She hid under a recliner for most of the evening so we couldn't even see her.  The next day she started warming up to us, and by the evening she was being a very social kitten. 

After she warmed up to us, she started following us around everywhere!  Wherever we go, Georgie follows.  I told Nick that if we hadn't already given her a name, "Shadow" would have been perfect for her. 

We put her in our garage at night and when we're at work and she went crazy meowing the first couple days for us to come rescue her.  She's always very happy to see us in the mornings and after work.  It is so cute!

We named her Georgina because a couple years ago I told Nick I liked that name for a girl.  He vetoed it immediately and when we got Georgie he said I should use the name because we definitely weren't naming one of our kids that.  Haha!

This photo is blurry, but it's so cute!



When I was feeling down the last couple months I looked at pictures and videos of kittens online to cheer me up. Georgie makes me smile everyday.



Aww





I read recently that black cats and dogs are always the least popular at animal shelters.  I don't know why that would be for dogs.  With cats I understand the superstition, but in some cultures black cats are actually considered good luck.  I've always liked black cats.  I had a wonderful black cat growing up named Skoalie.

She's got the big chair all to herself



So sweet!

As you can tell from this post I'm already on my way to becoming a crazy cat lady!
