For this Whiskers on Wednesday, I would like to introduce you to the newest member of our family. My mom and dad got a kitten:
Her name is probably going to be Georgi, although they just brought her home last night so they’re not positive that it’s the perfect name for her. She’s 5 months old and was adopted from the Vancouver SPCA. Her name was originally Bonnie, which is also my sister’s name (so we obviously couldn’t keep it for the cat).
Georgi is very curious and affectionate. She is playful and alert, yet cuddly, which is what my mom wanted. More news in coming weeks I’m sure!
Then on the way home I encountered a coyote! It isn’t that uncommon in this area due to all the big parks and provincial forests, but it’s still nuts to see. I managed to get some photos of the poor guy, and then s/he tried to cross the busy street. Fortunately when I looped back to check he’d already made it across the street.

Oh, but coyotes are becoming more and more visible as their natural habitats are developed…
The new kitty is darling! Congrats to all.
Most of where the coyotes live are designated national/provincial parklands. But I’m sure development around the area is affecting them.
I saw a racoon the other week run across a busy street and then down into a parking garage. I guess that’s a good place to live — dry, warm.
Georgi is a cute name for the new kitteh. We live in a semi-rural area, and hardly ever see coyotes come into town. Scary, sort of…if you have pets outside!
Georgi is adorable! Very interesting coloring :)
Cool picture of the coyote. It’s sad that we seem to be seeing more wildlife coming into urban areas.
Georgi is precious! I hope we’ll see more of her. =)
This is insanely cute and awesome.
