This
is OSCAR. Oscar was a stray who adopted us back in 1998. He had
been disowned by his former 'family' who had thrown him out. He came to
us with a huge gash in his neck where he had been savaged by a dog. Our
local vet 'repaired' him and sent him home with a little red bandana
round his neck to cover his bandage.
At first he had to share the house with our older female cat - Miffy -
who was eighteen years old. It was like having a truculent teenager and a
grumpy grandmother living under the same roof. They hissed and scratched
and fought but didn't do any damage to each other. After Miffy passed
on, Oscar just became the 'king of the castle.
If you're reading he must sit on your lap and if you're asleep he must
sleep on your head. He is an indoor cat now and never goes out - just to
go out of the front door in central London would be suicide for a cat
with all the busy roads nearby. Now he's getting older he sleeps a lot
but every so often he will have a 'scatattack' and will race round the
house and up and down the stairs like a mad thing until he's worn you
out.
We wouldn't be without him for the world.
