Introducing Oliver!

Somewhere along the line, in the last

bit, we seemed to have been adopted.

A sweet, well cared for but won't come

too close to us full grown pretty cat.

We don't know if he is male or female

but from the beginning, we chose male.

And recently, we decided to name him so

we can call him something instead of "cat."

We would like to formally introduce you

to "Oliver the cat" ~ a sweet little mouser.

He loves to lounge on our sunny back deck, on

the bench in the front in the Secret Garden, the

tiny deck at the potting shed and he has now

discovered the bench in the Memorial Garden.

Looks like he might be tracking either a mouse here

or a frog. We've only had an incident with mice the

first year we were here. A mouse or two got in to our

garage but we quickly got rid of it/them and since

then, our daughter puts out a bag of used litter from

her cats and changes them out each week. Since she

started this, we've had no mice in the 4 years since

we had the first incident. And now, we have Oliver!
