A Year With George Washington Edwards

Snakes? Yikes! that;s a new one to me! We also adopted a one year old cat last year, but she only brings birds- always a trigger for a little chat about the circle of life and animals are different from humans etc! I think she is a little disappointed that I am not thrilled with the gifts she brings me!

love love love all the pics of george washington :) esp the pic of the 2 of you. happy he has been a happy addition to your home thanks for sharing ali!

Loved your whole story until you got to the snakes! lol

He is such a beautiful cat! Unfortunately, we are not allowed to have pets where we live, and it's hard for me as I have always had cats around growing up and such. And the kids (4 and 3) are starting to ask why we can't have pets. I love the pic of him sitting at the table! So cute! Keep the cat pictures coming!

:-D I love those little stories and the pictures are great! You might think you could read his mind ;-)

Cats are a pretty funny creature.

We love cats and have 2. Our newest cat, who belongs to our daughter, plays fetch like a dog. I am sure she is not the only one but we think it is kind of funny. They definitely have a mind of their own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c86fdCUmzo8&feature=youtu.be Here is the link to see Dakota playing fetch with a milk carton ring.

Not much of a cat person...totally a dog person, but I know how much they can add to our lives. Hopefully, we do the same to theirs! Loved reading about George Washington Cat (Simon named him, didn't he?)

And, this is going to sound really lame, but I will often open one of Steffi's albums and talk to her as I look through it. Steffi is our VERY spoiled VERY pampered 13 and a quarter year old white mini schnauzer princess. I swear she likes to look at them too!

So sweet. I lost one of my kitties last summer and so many of these pictures reminded me of my cat, Skunk.

We have 3 small dogs, one inside cat and 3 outside cats. I love our dogs dearly but I am most definetly a cat person. Love them! So much fun to watch and cuddle with! And MoMo (the inside cat) is just so comforting to pet and snuggle when you have had a hard day!

OMGosh. Pic of George sitting @ the table. LOVE HIM.
You are such a great story teller.
George is lucky to have such a great family!

What an amazing cat. I am sure he feels pretty lucky to be part of this great family too. It was good to read about Lily too. Thanks for sharing.

Love, love, love this blog post! Pets are so enriching to have around... wouldn't trade my cats for anything! Thanks for sharing your stories :)

He knew what he was doing when he picked your family ;) he knew he was coming home.

George sounds like the coolest cat around!

"I'm a fan of cats..." I can just hear it, lol!! I'm a fan of cats- and dogs- myself, and think a home just isn't complete without one (or five, lol!) thanks for the fun story, and I'm glad to hear George Washington Edwards (great name, BTW!!) is such a good fit into your family.

Loved this post, so heartwarming. I have one cat who also brings home snakes! But he politely eats the entirety of the mice he catches. His mother on the other hand ... eats all but the heads and proudly leaves the HEADS at our back door! Gotta love em :)

You can almost hear that cat thinking thoughts like Garfield. Love those eyes!

I have a real soft spot for black with white, short haird cats. We had one growing up - Pitters (short for Pitter-patter) lived to be 18. Your George reminds me of her, except not sure she would have tollerated a dog :O) Glad he is such a good fit with all of you!

I <3 cats too!
