Oscar owns his new balcony in Houston…

Houston is growing exponentially. But it isn’t just people. With such a massive influx from all over the world also come their beloved companions. Today’s “Dog on Monday” is actually a cat—meet Oscar the Orange!

Oscar is also known as “Second Oscar”. His person Lori Payton tells me that the Original Oscar passed away unexpectedly causing her to quickly search for a new kitten to fill the void. She found him at the Boulder Humane Society and fell in love.

Oscar the Orange, the Second Oscar

He has been Lori’s constant companion for the last 6 years and has seen her through many ups and downs, not the least of which was an unpleasant bout with cancer. He quietly and patiently sat by her side through each and every day of it.  (Sounds like they have saved each other.)

New to Texas, this kitty likes his warm balcony with one eye on the birds and the other keenly watching the goings-on of the neighborhood. Welcome to Houston, Lori & Oscar!

And TroysArt thanks Lori for the pictures.
