Happy Birthday Oscar! :-) oops!

(2008 minus 2001 = Oscar is seven years old!

)

After Oscar had been tamed from the wild by my former boss at a cat boarding kennel (hence the name 'Oscar', because he was 'wild'

), the vet put his age at "2 1/2, no older than 3", and set his birthdate at January 1, 2001.

I was so broke at the time, and had not had a kitty in YEARS - and my boss and his wife not only paid for the neutering and all, but GAVE him to me for Christmas! *snif*

His Gotcha Day is December 19, when I actually brought him home. Today he is 7 (or so!).

Happy Birthday, my heart baby! I love you very much and you have been a warm purring blessing and a comfort.

Two of each pose are older shots, before he slimmed down...hard to tell, maybe, but the side of his tummy doesn't bulge up anymore!

Oh Oscar, just look how buff you look now that you have slimmd and trimmed! And just in time for your birthday and the New Year, too. Yes, Candace, I CAN see the difference. Oscar, you worked right in to your mom's heart and taught her that Oscars do NOT have to be "wild!" Te hee.
