The Glass Cat

Gorgeous George

1991 ? - 2000

Who can resist singing to their cat?

(Sung to the tune of "Beans, Beans")

George, George, the musical cat

The more he eats, the more he's fat

The more he's fat, the softer he feels

So stuff your face at every meal.

(Sung to the tune of "Good Morning, Merry Sunshine")

Good morning, merry Georgie

It's nice to hear you purr

You brighten up a cheerless day

And leave a trail of fur.

Glass Cat FAQ: 

Georgie was put to sleep in June 2000 when his kidneys failed.  He had high blood pressure and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (which is not transmissable to humans).  There was no decision to be made about it; he was no longer able to do anything except be terribly sick.  I don't think he knew where he was or who I was some of the time.  

The three years he spent with me, he was spoiled in every possible way, having furry cat beds on every counter and desktop and half the mattress at night.  I still hear him walking around and talking to himself all the time.  

I miss the little man whose only fault was having a tail the same color as the kitchen floor.

This is his very last picture.
