George, the Cat of the Day
Name: George
Age: Four year old
Gender: Male
Kind: Siamese
Home: Virginia, USA
 
   George was a stray found at the Mount Vernon estate, hence he is named in honor of George Washington. He is a real survivor. When he was rescued, in December of 2002, the vet estimated his age at two or three. George only weighed four pounds - he was severely dehydrated and emaciated. After a lot of TLC he turned into the sleek, self-confident cat you see in the photo. He now weighs eleven pounds.

    George is an attention hound and total clown - he will do anything for food (including walk on his hind legs). He is very observant, and learns by watching his humans. He knows how to open the cabinets the kitchen and turn doorknobs to open closed doors. I think he is working on learning how to operate the faucets, so he can give himself a nice fresh drink of water any time he chooses. He is an entertaining cat to live with, but also can be a snuggle bug, when he is ready to curl up and relax.
