Haji Abdul George, the Cat of the Day
Name: Haji Abdul George
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Cat
Home: Istanbul, Turkey
 
   This is Haji Abdul George. His breed is unknown - but many breeders would bet he is an Egyptian Mau or close cousin. George is a war orphan. He was born under my tent in Afghanistan, he came to my attention at about four to five weeks of age dirty, thirsty, and hungry. Despite orders to the contrary I would not allow this precious creature of God to starve to death. I spent over six months raising George and when the time came for me to leave, friends that work for a government agency managed to smuggle him out on a cargo flight. I was reunited with him three weeks later, and we have not been separated since. George is a nut. He frequently hunts gazelle in the house (where none exist, of course), and helps me do absolutely everything. He opens locked doors, turns on lights, opens drawers, closets and anything else that might look interesting. He chatters and chirps incessantly, about any and everything. George continually runs into other people he knew in Afghanistan, it is odd they don't always recognize me, but they remember George. It is a small world.
