Oliver, the Cat of the Day
Name: Oliver
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Bluepoint Siamese
Home: Union, Maine, USA
 
   Oliver is a very loving companion. He loves to go walking with me. He is an indoor kitty, but walks on a leash, just like a dog. He loves to help with the Christmas decorations, and wrapping of packages, or should I say perhaps, eating the ribbons! Oliver has had a rather difficult year. He has had a serious illness, but right now he is doing much better. He has been a very brave "boy", during all his trips to the Vet this past year.

    Oliver is the most loving kitty companion that I have ever lived with. He is very gentle and sings most of the time. He likes to chase balls across the room. His favorite part of the day is when he goes for a walk with me. If I don't take him out when he wants, he goes to where his leash hangs and reaches up to grab it and rattle it, so that I will notice him. He likes to stay close to me, and sit in my lap, he sleeps with me, with his head on the pillow.

    His illness the past year and a half, has been a mass cell tumor on his lower eye lid. He went through eight months of Chemo. He finally had surgery at the end of October. Now he is doing great, and is off all medication. They were able to save his eye, which they didn't think would be possible. He has had monthly trips to the Vet's for the past eight months, and sometimes weekly. Through all of this, he still manages to look at me with love in his eyes, and a song to sing. He is now ready to celebrate Christmas.
