For many people, animals hold a special place in their hearts and George is no exception to this. Over the years, GeorgeNotFound has frequently featured his pet cats and dogs on his Twitter and Instagram handles.

The British content creator first introduced his cat Luca to the internet in late October 2019. Lovingly known as 'Pooper' as it defecated on George's bed, the feline was unfortunately diagnosed with a rare and incurable disease on July 28, 2020, and had to be put down as a result.

2) TFGH controls

Like most left-handed individuals in the world who are forced to mold their habits for a world that caters to the right-handed majority, GeorgeNotFound is no stranger to the struggles of being a left-handed gamer.

Unable to use the standard WASD configuration, George prefers the unique configuration of TFGH: T - to go forward, F - to go left, G - to go back, and H - to go right.

After being jokingly berated by fellow Minecraft royalty, Dream, George explained to his viewers why he chose to play with this unique setup:

"Well, I have my right hand on the keyboard. I use TFGH to move around with my right hand. So, I use my little finger and it's just closer, it's more convenient."

In a livestream that aired nearly two years ago, Wilbur Soot, a fellow British YouTuber, Twitch star, and a close friend of George's revealed how the duo suffers from Aphantasia, a phenomenon wherein a person is unable to visualize imagery, such as failing to picture a familiar object or face in their mind.

"We talked about this last night, did you know that me and George have aphantasia? And George didn't know until yesterday."

Being a relatively rare condition for someone to self-diagnose, it took George well over 24 years before he realized that he had aphantasia as no medical tests can be performed to diagnose this phenomenon.
