Oscar the Puppy Cat

This is the last picture of Oscar the Puppy Cat to appear on his blog and I think it is very appropriate to put it here.  He is sitting on his favorite windowsill and looking his Mom with love.
Oscar went to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday rather suddenly and left a gaping hole in the Catblogosphere.  He was only nine years old, but he filled up those nine years with love for all around him.  He adopted Suzanne, Marilyn MonREOW and Miss Peach as his daughters and Benjamin Fuzz as his son.  He married Pounce in a Las Vegas wedding that was really something to read about.  He leaves behind his Mom, Kim, his Dad, Alan, and his bean brother, Sean.  All of them are very sad and could really use any comfort you could provide at either his blog or Emma's.  I really enjoyed reading his blog and could feel the love he felt for us all pouring out of every post.  I am going to miss him terribly, but take comfort in the knowledge that he and Suzanne are together at the Rainbow Bridge.  I am sure that he will be providing love and comfort to all the other cats there, waiting for their loved ones to arrive.  I am also sure that he will be watching over his family.

                                        Oscar the Puppy Cat is with us no more.
                                        Our teardrops are falling by the score.
                                                He was loved by all,
                                                And as the tears fall,
                                        We remember he loved us even more.

Oscar the Puppy Cat

Oscar the Puppy Cat is a nine year old ginger tabby. He is called Puppy Cat because the first family who took care of him and his siblings owned a Great Dane, who became like a father to the kittens and Oscar picked up some of his characteristics. Oscar and his siblings were abandoned by their mother when they were fairly young and this family found them, cared for them for a while, then adopted them out. That's how Oscar found his forever family. He also cared for a very old, blind Chow Chow at one point. He prefers the company of dogs to other cats, but he loves any animal which doesn't try to beat him up. At present he is good friends with an older tomcat named Graymbo, who lives under their house. The area Oscar lives in is pretty rural, so he can roam outside and hunt moles. He hunts birds, too, but they get away more often. The windowsill you can see in the picture is one of Oscar's favorite places. It looks out onto the back yard, so he can watch the beankids playing, birds and other animals in comfort.

                                      Oscar has a wide window sill.
                                      It's his favorite place to nap or sit still.
                                                   Out comes the flashy box,
                                                    Which he finds obnox-
