Happy Anniversary Oscar aka Big Pud, eleven (11) years you have been with us. To be fair you are actually not the biggest Pud as both Dusky and Tobi qualify more than you for that title these days, but you were the original Big Pud and that is all there is to say on the matter.
A small, hissing bundle on day one, he quickly became part of Team Mori, and remains extremely close to both Moreno and Fleur to this day.
Interestingly though he has set up his own team with Dusky, Marti and Tobi, and the youngsters certainly keep him active.
All of the animals have made the move over to the UK with no issues, and to all have benefited to some extent, but Oscar is a totally different cat. In Spain if we had visitors he would not be seen, and while he always liked us to stroke him he was not an affectionate cat by any means.
Now though not an evening goes by without him being sat on a sofa with one of us watching TV, and not just us. He joins my parents on the sofa when they come round which is pretty unbelievable really.
One very special cat indeed and we are very lucky to have have in our lives.
