Georgia: the momma cat

We had Nova fixed on Monday. Not that she was broken, but you know...

It was rather stressful for her considering I had abandoned her for just under 2 weeks and 5 days of that time was with a complete stranger.

So, Monday night, we picked her up at the vet. She was happy to see us, and oh so well behaved. Turns out they had given her a sedative because she had nipped at them when she was coming out of the anesthesia. I expected her to be unbalanced and tipsy, but she seemed in pretty good control of her muscles. She was just quiet.

The cats seemed to pick up on this fact quickly. All evening, Nadia seemed happy to wrestle with Georgia right in front of Nova's face. An act that would normally have Nova trying to join in on the fun. Georgia showed immediate concern. She would walk up to the sofa where Nova was laying with me and she would sniff Nova to make sure she was OK.

That night, when I was settling Nova down for the night, Georgia again came up to her and sniffed her face. A few minutes later, she walked up and cuddled into Nova. Almost like she was trying to comfort Nova. For a few minutes, Nova just sat there at attention. She was in shock. She didn't know what to do with this cat being so friendly. Then she started sniffing Georgia's butt and the magic just died. But it was a touching moment while it lasted.
