Ozzie's Tale

MEOW! Yeah, I know the rain's pummeling the patio, but I would appreciate it if something would get this door open, because I'm going to get out somehow.

It may take a couple of minutes to break outta here, so I thought I'd give you the short version about my appearance here! About four years ago, when I was a couple of months shy of my first birthday, my original person left town for about a month. She'd been leaving me home alone a lot with only a bowl or two of kibble left outside. Other creatures would steal it natch, so I got hungry. I was totally an outdoors cat then and lived about five blocks away from my current peeps and big sis.

Okay... pretty please let me out. No? Alright. I'll continue. I started wandering the neighborhoods around here to find food. I'm extremely good at catching all things furred or feathered, but I was sick of that. I wanted a warm place to curl up once in a while. I narrowed my choices down to four places which should become my new home. I made this place my new crib, with daily visits to Birgitta, three doors up from mine, where I get dancing lessons and other fun stuff. I have a warm bed here right near the heating, great food (which I only eat part of, of course) and in exchange, I bring lots of pressies to my folks that I leave on their doorstep. Mom and Dad can tell I've been happily busy with creative and difficult endeavors while they've been gone. And they do pick up all my leavings too, so I know they appreciate my gifts.


A promise is a promise.

Rain's letting up.

Here's my excellent but rare smile... Whew... I'm outta here!
Love,
Ozzie

Hello! We just found your blog and have really enjoyed our visit!! We have a house full of 8 rescued Goldens and I love to read about the adventures other Goldens are having in another part of the country!

Ozzie by the way, could be a close relative of our cat "CC!!" :-)

Enjoy your weekend!!

Great Story, Ozzie! That was smart when you didn't care for your former owner's activities, you just went and found a new, better one. I don't think dogs do that, but they should. Its the only smart way to handle poor ownership.

Kisses,
Stella

Ozzie, you are very beautiful....well for a cat! Our mum says you look very like her black and white cat, Mouschi, who lived here for 22 years before going to Rainbow Bridge.
She, like you, was very smart and sought out new owners.
Some humans aren't so clever - they can hardly look after themselves.
Mouschi also brought lots of gifts....very nice dead mice and things.
We had a real mouse in our house the other night and our mum reckons it is time she had another cat!
Lovely to meet you and read your story. You sound like a born survivor. You are home now.
love and kisses
Martha & Bailey xx

You is just the cutest kittie. You should stay inside and not leave your momma and dadda alone with that doggie. You never know what she is sayin' 'bout you when you're gone, hehehe!

Hey Ozzie,
Our cats aren't allowed out. They have to do their hunting inside during the summer when us dogs let the flying bugs inside. We enjoyed your mini-biography. Jenny says that you're a cute Tom. Boru and Alex said you look like a little guy in a rented tux. We dogs don't care one way or the other; live and let live is our motto. Max and Shiloh look like Holsteins cuz they're to big to wear a tux.
