Awww, so sweet! I like Georgia a lot. And you can tell anyone who calls her a boy that they should know that the fact that she has both black and orange fur means she must be female, b/c cat's fur color is carried on the X chromosome. So males only have one X and can have orange on it or black, but not both, b/c the Y is a dud in that area. (Actually, I believe I've read of freak mutant males that have an extra chromosome and end up being orange and black. But you can forget that tidbit now and just be imperious with your superior cat knowledge and instant non-genitalia-based recognition of her sex.)
