If you have not read the tails of Oliver, you can do so here and here.

So, the previous owners are indeed gone and have not returned for him. As of Thursday, January 22nd,  I officially deemed him part of our family. He is spending more time each day in the house and has made himself right at home. He was an outdoor cat, but as soon as he is totally comfortable here and my other cat “Filthy” quits flicking her tail at him I will be keeping him inside. He is so far, very well behaved, knows no and loves to be loved.
On another note…I am finally feeling ‘human’ again, I might even live! It’s hell getting old!
