Oliver
August 13, 2009
I took this picture sneakily imagining it having one of those nature channel narratives about the Daddybird in his natural habitat. Little did he know what was in store for him within the hour.
We were joined by our friend Mali, with the intention of walking over to Al Muteena street for some chicken shwarma for dinner. However, on the way we encountered a stray kitten that changed all the plans. He was too friendly and too young for me to just put him down and walk away. So, we took him back to the apartment and Paul & Mali made an emergency run to the store for litter and food. We did eventually get our shwarma, too.
So, this is Oliver. Even though he’s white, he is a camoflage cat on our marble floors. 
I have managed to get one head on view. It is blurry, because he is always in motion. The video will take a little longer to put together.
As for Kazul’s question about losing hair with the seasons. That will stop now that he has become an indoor cat. With regular meals he should be filling out a little and putting on more hair. I am interested to see just how much hair.
He purrs a lot and Mali says he purrs like a Vespa scooter. He talks a lot too, as you will hear in the video later. He’s been good and took to using a litter box right away.
I can’t wait until he sleeps through the night. Ha!
Living the Travel Channel 
Spoken like a new mother 😉 and glad he’s a baby as you are returning home. That way you’ll be there for a while before running off to a foreign land (ha, ha) and have to leave him in the hands of friends. So, I see you named him Oliver. From the book I assume? Makes sense. I kinda like Vespa although that sounds female (Vesta-Goddess of the hearth), so maybe he should be Vespar (Vesper in Latin=evening). Sounds middle-eastern to me. Well, as long as Fagin doesn’t show up expecting his share you should be having a new reason to stay home. Kittens can be so entertaining.
ok, so there is my answer about where you got him..do you have to do pet fees at the apartment?
