When we last left our pint sized hero the vet had just predicted he'd never walk, but little Oliver was finally taking an interest in the world around him...

When we last left our pint sized hero the vet had just predicted he'd never walk, but little Oliver was finally taking an interest in the world around him...
I put him back in his little spot on the floor where Chloe [his mother] had been keeping him and she groomed him and fed him and groomed him some more. Then, after his nap he decided to look around.
Well, he still had a lot of trouble holding up his head, and he couldn't really get his chest up off the ground very well, and all his little legs moved like flippers, held straight out to the sides, but he did what he could. He worked and he listened and he worked and he tried his best.
"I am... a beast. Rowr!"
This picture was taken less than 48 hours after he came back from the vet as Adventure Boy. The photo was taken right after he'd finally managed to get himself OVER the rattan ring at the base of the little table. His 'spot' where he'd been living is the spot of floor directly to the left of the table. It took him almost two entire days to master moving that far and the task
he set himself of climbing over the rattan was huge. He worked and worked at it.
I don't know if you can tell, but that is one PROUD little kitty in that picture. He felt so accomplished. You could see his chest swell with pride. And I was so very proud of him and so happy for him and I can't tell you how glad I am that I got that picture.
So ends the first installment of the story of Oliver's triumphant overcoming. And I am still so incredibly proud of him. I think he's a marvel.
Dear Readers, do you begin to see why I must share the story of Oliver Kitteh? In the following weeks you'll see more of his triumphs, kookiness, and the physical therapy games Ms Brownlow and Chloe set up for him. For he is Puir Oliver no more, but...
Adventure Boy!
