'Mere Ok!

If there was an award for "Best Kitty Ever" it would certainly go to Oscar Brown. And he would have earned it!

Take this photo, for example. As you can see, Suzanne has him in her toddler death grip. Oscar knows that if he just sits and relaxes, he'll be able slide out momentarily and be on his way. Now, I don't think Oscar is the brightest bulb in the box (he keeps coming back for more...and more.... and more), but he is so gentle with her. Suzanne is learning to be gentle with him and is also learning a new word, "Dentoll, Ok, dentoll..."

Last week she fell asleep in one of the recliners and he snuggled up next to her and snoozed as well. Oscar has clearly decided the she is his person and he is her kitty. It isn't unusual for me to find him on her bed or in her room. He likes me, too, but he really likes Suzanne best. Emmy, on the other hand, has assigned herself to Greg and will only pay attention to the rest of us if he's not at home. She clearly has forgotten that he was the meany who took pictures of her after she, with cat-like grace, fell in a full bathtub.

We've had some rather nice weather lately and Suzanne decided today to explore the back yard. Oscar was right there with her, playing with her and generally keeping an eye on her. She ran his legs off and now they're both having a nap. Hope that flower she ate isn't poisonous...
