OLIVER
I am 2 days late, but I must comment on the precious Oliver. You are absolutely adorable! I am the proud mommy of three orange boys and I just love them. I am also the mommy of 19 other kitties as well as 8 doggies. My own Oliver is an orange tabby/part maine coon who is a very special boy. He is 2 1/2 years old now and was found along the road as a baby by a friend who knew I would take him in. After he was neutered, he became ill and had difficulty breathing. I took him to several vets-at first they thought he had aspiration pneumonia from the anesthesia, but after two echocardiograms, he was diagnosed with hypertropic cardiomyopathy. I was so scared that I would lose him, but now almost 2 years later, he is doing very well! He takes verapamil every 12 hours and his cardiologist says he could be the poster kitty for verapamil as it is working very well for him.
