Oliver, the Cat of the Day
Name: Oliver
Age: Seven months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Tabby
Home: Atlantic Beach, Florida, USA
 
   I just had to send my Christmas Picture of our kitten. Meet Oliver - nickname Ollie Ba Ba. Otis and Ollie were trapped at seven weeks old along with their feral mother. She was spayed and released and though it may sound cruel to take the kittens from their mother, these guys were young enough to socialize and place in good homes rather the neuter and release.

    While trying to find good homes for them, we volunteered to "foster" thru the weekend and fortunately became "failed fosterers." They have both been with us since that weekend in July and have been a constant joy.

    Naturally we knew they would both be interested in the Christmas tree; however, Ollie has always been the bold explorer and it didn't take him anytime to take the leap and climb the artificial "tree". Luckily the branches are strong and were able to support him without bringing the entire tree down. Our tree is decorated every year with all types of animal ornaments and stuffed animals, if the tree had been totally decorated he would have blended right into his magical Christmas tree.

    It is important to keep your pets safe during the holidays so we have since placed devices under the tree to discourage this type of behavior. We wish all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
