Everything

People often say that rescue animals know they’ve been rescued and are thankful for their adopted families. Having had rescues for years, I agree and can tell Oscar is no exception. I’ve never seen a happier, snuggier kitten in my life. He takes every opportunity to show us he loves us and he makes my […]

The last few weeks have been frantically busy and yesterday was no exception. Chores, work deadlines, and a sick dog were in the mix. By the time we finished dinner, Oscar and I were both worn out. I’m pretty sure I fell asleep exactly like this a couple of hours later. Fortunately, there is no

Oscar loves his brothers, especially Stan, and he shows it by washing them as often as possible whether they like it or not. As you can see by Stan’s expression, it’s usually “not.” Stan’s a good big brother and puts up with it more than the other two. Nutter usually responds with a whap and

Oscar was back on duty this morning after a relaxing Sunday. Those squirrels need to be watched, after all. They are prone to shenanigans. We clearly felt the same way about being awake this morning. He did get to nap in the sun beams, but I suspect we’ll all go to bed earlier tonight.

After a productive Saturday of housework and laundry, we’re enjoying a loaf-filled Sunday. Really, we’re baking a loaf of banana bread and loafing around the nice clean house. Not that it stays clean for long these days. Udo is blowing his coat and we live in a maelstrom of dog hair, but it’s a happy

Stan showed Oscar one of his favorite hiding spots tonight and Oscar has decided it’s his new fort. He comes out to eat, snug, and rampage. That’s okay, because we all need a blanket fort.

It’s chilly out this morning, so Oscar decided to perform his sentry duty from his favorite dresser nest. Those squirrels aren’t getting away with anything. They’ve all decided Brian’s clothes make the best nests, so the dresser has been claimed. Heaven help us if we leave a drawer open.

Oscar assumes sentry duty every morning, usually starting in the bedroom window so he can make sure the squirrels aren’t up to anything fishy. He takes this duty very seriously since he was taught by Stan, the ultimate guard cat. He’s even learned to growl at suspicious sounds, so we now have a fuzzy squad

Oscar has been working on his loaf form, as all kittens must, and I think he’s made a lot of progress. He has the front paw tuck down for sure. He’s really starting to look like a small adult cat rather than a kitten as he gets closer to his first birthday.

I finally caught Oscar in action, and it was a total accident. Of course. He was frittering around the front door this morning after I took out the trash and spotted what he thought was a bug on the wall. Spoiler: it was not a bug. His prey was actually a bump of texture under
