I catpurred [captured: what a fortuitous typo flowed out of me!] this image of Ollie on his 12th birthday last year.
I enjoyed taking photos of Ollie on his birthdays, and on many other days and occasions.
Ollie enjoyed spending time with me, and with his cat friend Coco. They were a bonded pair ever since Coco was 10 weeks old. Ollie followed me around, all-day-each-day whenever possible, eagerly vocalizing and wanting to communicate - through sound and touch and warmth shared.
A disrespectful and dishonorable, uncaring person was responsible for the death of Ollie on Friday October 13, 2023.
Prior to that day and on that day, over more than 2 years, a nearby new tenant on the same property allowed her new resident vicious killer cat to attack my gentle senior kitty multiple times, leading to many significant injuries on Ollie and many expensive vet visits. Yes, Ollie should have been inside All The Time - but sometimes the killer cat would force his way into our personal space - and sometimes Ollie forced his way outside, when I would attempt to exit. $1200 here, $800 there, huge ouchies there and there ... "Thanks", fellow tenant, for the intense and repeated #FML experiences! You effed ALL OF US on site, repeatedly, so hard and so wrong!
I came upon the killing scene as it was happening. My cat was tortured to death, and died over a period of 4 hours, while cuddled in my arms and spooning bodily in bed - thanks to the long-term uncaring and disdainful actions of another person on the same property as me.
