Belated Cat of the Day congratulations to you, beautiul Ossie! So sorry to have missed your official day, due to our technical issues. But now that we're back, I hope others will take the time to read your heart-wrenching, heartwarming story of survival and healing! http://catoftheday.com/archive/2017/May/13.html

I can't tell you how moved I was, Ossie, reading your human's love filled tribute; moved to tears! I can only imagine the strength and courage it took for you to overcome such life threatening injuries, endure all of those surgeries and months of intesive care. To say your recovery is miraculous would be an understatement. And not only did you survive your injuries, you continued on, thriving, back to enjoying every moment of life to its fullest, despite having lost an eye, having only the most limited of sight (light and shapes) in the other.

It took Ossie a while to recover but now, almost a year later, he is venturing out into our new garden and playing with his brother and older cat friend that we own. He even catches animals still! Although he can hardly see (we believe he can see slightly, but only light and shapes), Ossie is perfectly happy and is enjoying a great life with us!
What courage! Your indomitable spirit and will to survive, your human's unwavering devotion, are an inspiration to us all! You truly are one extra special boy, Ossie, 1 in a million, and so very deserving of your big day of honor! Hope you enjoyed a very special day of celebration, sweetheart, playing with your brother and kitty friend, cuddling with your humans, being loved and pampered to pieces! Love, hugs and kisses to you, brave, beautiful Ossie, our very special and most deserving, hero Cat of the Day, EVERY day! Love to your kitty brother, too!

Such a handsome boy!!!
