Oscar
is two and a half years old, he is a white,
domestic cat and lives with my husband, our Siamese cat called
Tessie and myself in a suburb of Melbourne (Australia) called
Nunawading which is 20 kilometres east of the Melbourne CBD.
Oscar is a very special cat for a number of reasons. Firstly, as he
is white with blue eyes he is completely deaf and does not miouw.
Instead, he runs around the house (sliding all over our polished
floorboards!) squeaking like a mouse! Secondly, he has
Cardiomyopathy which means his heart is too big for his body and it
pumps too much blood around his system. He is on two forms of
medications that he takes twice a day to help thin his blood and slow
his heart beat down. Because of his illness our vet has informed us
that he will not live a very long life, however, my husband, Tessie
and myself spoil him rotten and are ensuring that even if he doesn't
have a very long life he will have a very happy one!
Oscar is an inside cat as it is too risky to let him stay outside all
day as he would not be able to run and hide if he heard approaching
children or dogs, etc. He is allowed to run around the backyard if he
is supervised by either myself or my husband. When he is outside he
has a ball and rolls on the grass, runs through the garden and sniffs
everything in sight! Oscar has also never grown up and still carries
on like a three month old kitten. When he gets too boisterous and
rough with Tessie she miouws at him and hisses, but because he can't
hear her he does not understand she is angry and continues being a
nuisance. It is quite funny to watch but obviously very annoying for
Tessie! Oscar is a beautiful cat but a bit of a loner, he prefers to
sit on the arm of the couch than on a human lap but enjoys life
immensely.
