Georgy Girl

As mentioned in my last post, Georgy is fitting into the household well.  (I changed the spelling from last time because I call her Georgy girl like the song, and that's how it's spelled in the song!) However, she isn't thriving physically.  She has had the bad runs and isn't gaining weight.  She is so bony, it's sad.  I took her to the vet last week and they gave me an additive for her food to help slow down the runs, wormed her again, and took a fecal sample.  It was sad.  She screamed so loudly I could hear her in the lobby and she was way in the back.

I took her back today and she has lost half an ounce.  When you only weigh 2.3 pounds, half an ounce is huge.  I don't know what to do. She eats.  She eats a lot, but everything seems to be pooping out of her.  Also, she is growing taller, fast.  I hope she survives.  

Now, off the sad note, Georgy loves to sleep in Gus's tree.  He sort of outgrew laying on the shelves even though he still likes to play on it.  She has tons of room on each shelf.

She loves her brother and follows him around and does everything he does.

Next to Gus, she is a tiny delicate little thing.  But she is tough. When Gus gets too rough, she hisses, growls and swats at him, and that seems to be enough to make him back off.  All 2 pounds against his 13.  

She is a jumper and even though she is itty bitty, she jumps up in the cat tree, on the couch, on our bed which is 28 inches from the floor and on the counter.  If she can't quite make it, she sticks like velcro and pulls herself up.  It's adorable.  

She'll be a good sister for Gus even though they are a missed matched set.  She can tell him what to do, and he'll adore her.  Hopefully, she'll gain weight and pull through--her little spirit seems strong!
