Leave a treat for Georgina Morris George Angel
Special Gift Box:
Nicknames:
Morris The Cat, George
Badges: 
May 13th 1975
Birthday:
April 15th 1975
Arrival Story:
Today is August 27, 2010. Twenty years ago today, on Aug. 27, 1990, Georgina passed on peacefully to the Rainbow Bridge due to bladder cancer and urinary problem. I got him on Tues., May 13, 1975, free as their ad said, at a farm, after work at 6:30 pm. I chose him because he was the most playful with his kitten brothers and sisters. I always thought he was 8 weeks old when I got him, but looking now at the first picture I took of him, I wonder if he was younger than that! He was my first Forever Cat. I did have another kitty prior to him, which I might add to Catster, but only had that kitty for a few months; it was mostly white with some grey. I have owned 8 cats since 1975 with Georgina being the first and Tyson is the eighth; but 3 of them are gone now; I still has 5 kitties! I have never been without a cat since getting baby Georgina.
I lived in different cities due to my job, and Georgina went with me always to the new home. While looking at most of his pictures lately, I see he came along with me even when I visited a friend or went to see my parents! He and I were each others' best friend, were happy to see each other every day, and kept each other company; he was funny, made me laugh and was fun to play with.
I called him Kitty for awhile, or Little Kitty. It was hard to pick out a name for him. In the autumn of 1975, I began University night school and took a Drama Class. One night while rehearsing lines at home from a play, I kept saying out loud the lines of fellow actors, so I could learn those enough to know when my own line would be spoken after their line was given.
One line was Georgina! You better get up, you're going to be late, for Heaven's sake. I'd say the lines to my kitty, because he was sitting there watching me, and when he heard this line for the first time, he meowed back at me! I said the line to him again and he meowed back again. I knew this was going to be his name, even though he was male - we were speaking to each other! Every time after that when I would say Georgina??, he would meow back to me.
My Mom called him Morris the Cat all the time because of the 9 Lives Cat Food commercials on TV. My other friends would just call him George because he was a male cat and they thought it sounded better than Georgina. But he was Georgina to me and to my sister too; she called him by his correct name!
Georgina died Aug. 27, 1990, but two weeks before then I think he made sure little FELIX would come across my path. Kitties must have a secret way of communicating which we do not know about. I think one kitty can let another kitty far away know things like: Make Sure You Go And Meet Up with This Human, etc. And so Felix did cross my path (on Aug. 12, 1990), and stayed with me almost 19 years up until March 2, 2009. Georgina and Felix were both with me from August 12, 1990 to August 27, 1990. Georgina growled at Felix who did not want to leave my side; a really friendly kitten.
I often felt sad, missing Georgina, for many years. Lots of times, it was while driving long distances in the dark, and I would think about him and wishing so badly that I could have helped him - and with sorrow that no one could help him.
When he was very young and I had him only a few months there was one morning when he was sitting under the bed with pink urine on the floor underneath him due to eating only dry cat food the Vet said. I had him checked out and the Vet said to give canned food but avoid cat food that had a certain amount of Ash in it. I don't know if that problem in his young age was related to the urinary problem in his old age or not. He had no further urinary problems until May 1990. But as he grew up I remember thinking how his coat was getting nice and shiny and that he was eating well. I was amazed at everything about him, since I was learning about cats as he lived more years with me. I loved having him with me. A few days before he died I also remember how he wanted to go to his favorite spot in the basement area that was carpetted, but he was too weak to get there easily, but he could with effort. That was sad to me, to want to go somewhere you love to go to, but then you cannot get there anymore as easily as you used to. It was hard to watch your day by day friend finding it difficult to live well, like he used to. But, I loved having him with me for 15 years and as sad as it is when they go, I am so glad to have had the 15 years with him anyway. No matter what.

May 13, 1975 was a happy day for me. And today is my Gotcha Day Anniversary!
I had my kitten picture put on the top of my page then the rest of the photos are chronological by date as I grew up.
My dad had seen an ad for free kittens; so on May 13/75 he decided he was ready to go look at the precious babies who were ready to be adopted.
On purpose, he came out to choose a kitten - and he got me!!
I was very lucky (and he says he was very lucky too)!
Love
Georgina Morris George

My birthday is over and the snow is melting.
But life goes on at the Bridge, and we go forward to thank our friends!
Thank you all for visiting me on my birthday yesterday, and for your comments, pawmails, gifts and Photos made for me by Pipo & Minko and also by Rory, Tundra, Lynzee & Manytoes! I've put those two pictures on my page already!
I've already been sharing (and eating) the cupcake from Hartley, Jenny, Darian 'Little Man', Tina Fey and Psy.
My Canadian Flag from Smiley Cassanova has been waving in the wind.
Slow chasing games are fun with the ladybug from Louis Le Beau, Ethan, Simon, KC, Teesha, Monroe, Kirby D and Tristan.
I love the red rose from Teebo, Callie and Rose.
Fave also gave me a red rose and both of them now sit in a vase so I can take care of them every day.
Years ago in our first apartment, I used to sit beside my Dad's rose he got once when he was in a musical in community theatre; I really like them!
Thank you all again, very much, for your kindness and thoughtfulness!
Love Georgina

My dad was thinking about my birthday and thought of a special photo to put on my page that he's had ready for a long time. Since today is my approximate birthdate, he thought a snowy photo would be OK.
It's a photo of me outside at his parents' house in the snow, Dec. 30, 1981. I rarely went outside but when I did, I was a slow mover thank goodness. I never ran away fast ever; still my dad did not like to have me outside much at all.
His parents had a dark fluffy cat named Emily so she is on the step in the photo and I'm near the camera, investigating!
He thinks back on my 15 years with him, with smiles and love, wishing I did not have to go to the Bridge way back in 1990. But time on earth for kitties is short so our Moms and Dads squeeze all their appreciation of us into that short time. My dad does not regret having me with him at all.
Love Georgina xo
