First thing first...

The true Roman Emperor

Just in case you are not sure of my identity, my name is Oliver.  I am a cat, which naturally means I am the sovereign king of my world.  I am a big boy, I peaked at 8,7kg, but then the horrible vet from hell ordered mum to put me on a diet and now I am at a svelte 7,8kg.  I still dream of sweet croissants which mum used to share with me every morning!!  Some people make fun of me because I have a double folded tail which sticks out on the right, but I read that a crooked tail is considered as a good luck charm in Japan, as it is supposed to "hook a good luck" so hey, what do they know!!!

I was born on the first of May 2007, so I am almost 5.  I was born in the south-west of Lazio, about one hour away from Rome.  I spent the first 4+ months of my life with my 3 siblings, and my first mamma Devi.  She took a very good care of me, I still remember and think of her very fondly.  Unfortunately there were many other cats in her household who were not very nice to us, so she decided to find a good home for me and my brother and sisters.  Mamma Licia found her notice in several sites, and came to bring me to her home on a sunny evening of September 2007, and the rest is the story. 

I weighed 3,5kg on my arrival, I already promised to be a very big boy, which I became.  My mum introduced me on a few cat forums, then on facebook, and I met many, many wonderful people from around the world.  They are physically far away from me, but everyday I feel the love from them, which makes me such a happy puddy.  So mamma and I decided to create this blog, as a hommage to all my global fans.  We love you all!!!
chilax with me and enjoy my blog!!!

    1. hello Auntie Jona, Figo & Luna!! I think this is going to be a lot of fun and I am rather excited about it!! heheh... I did grow a little bit since when I was 3 months old right? You should have seen my mum's reaction when I assumed that pose in the box, as if some miracle had happened.. what's the big deal about a bit of chilax??? Oh well I saw it amused a lot of peeps when she proudly uploaded the photo on facebook, as long as I make them happy and make them smile... I hope to deliver much more of such moments here in the future, so keep checking!

    1. Hello again Ann!! I am glad we have sorted out the problem!!! Oh yes the mishap... it was as always fault of my mum, she should know better than to provoke me like that, deep within I am a fierce tiger!!! roarrrrr!!! :-D But of course I didn't hurt her so bad, and I acted super cute and gave her that Puss in Boots look, so she forgave me right away :-) I hope you are enjoying a fun filled St. Patricks day!!!

    1. Thank you Liz!!! I am glad now you also met my brother and sisters, Arturo, Miù & Pulce!!! Yes, they have also been adopted by nice families, actually Arturo and Pulce much earlier than me, and mamma Devi was beginning to worry about my future!!! But I knew mamma Licia would come to get me when it was time, I already told her through internet!!! Of course I charmed and hooked her with my crooked tail!!!

  13. Hey Olie woohoo eventually I get to write on your blog. Am stealing the computer from Mom because she has been hogging it for sooooo long. But as she was writing about moi - I will forgive her. You look very handsome and I love the story how you came to Rome.
