Hi Oscar!!! A very happy Cat of the Day to you! What a gorgeous boy you are, Oscar! You sure know how to strike a pose, and oh, doesn't the camera love you! Even before I read through your Mommy's lovely tribute I thought to myself, "Kitty model material!" You and your Mommy make one terrific team, on so many levels, not the least of which is your model/photographer conection! And I must say, she is one talented lady, and your photos, gorgeous!

You know Oscar, I think you rescued your Mommy as much as she rescued you, and while no kitty will ever replace the spot your beloved predecessor Buskey holds in her heart, you've clearly earned your very own special place in her heart, right beside Bukey's! I'm sure it was very hard for your first Mom to give you up, and for you to get accustomed to your new home and Mommy. But in the end, what a happy ending all around! And yes, I do believe that that very special bond of love and trust you and your new Mommy have already forged will onnly grow stronger and deeper with time! And hopefully your 1st Mom gets to visit, too! Won't she be thrilled to see you being honored here today!

I hope you and your Mommy are enjoying a very happy day, sweetheart, celebrating your much deserved day of honor, and I wish for you both, many, many more wonderful, love filled years of devoted companionship and shared love! Hugs and smoochies to you, precious Oscar!
