Recently I have heard horrendous stories of such wildly unfamiliar felines, but somehow I knew Oscar was different. He was Italian and full of love and attitude.
His owner, our friend, Simone, called him the most lovable and unique cat ever. All in Italian of course. And we could see on his face that he loved him, even if we didn't understand every little word when he talked about him. We didn't know this however, the first time we met Oscar....
When we checked in, he walked right into our apartment behind us like he owned the place. Showed himself around and made himself comfortable. I thought it was hilarious and that we were on his turf so fine. I even gave him a bowl of water that he never even sipped from. Jerk.
But first, to let us know Oscar was cool, Simone did something I have never seen and I wish I had a picture to show you but my memory will have to lock onto it forever. He pulled a move that was so great, so unexpected and so casual that to do it again would only have been crewel.
He pet him, said no trouble, he won't hurt you and then he grabbed him by the tail and hung him upside down. My mouth hit the floor. It was amazing.
After that we fell in love. Well, except one of us, whom will go unnamed because she is a smelly kitty dislikes. Which I understand, but this cat was cool. I look forward I bringing him some kitty shampoo and hanging him upside down someday.
