Hello everyone! I'm Oscar, the Shropshire Cat Rescue cat who's found his furrever home with his Author Mom & Radio Presenter Dad! I love cuddles & lots of fuss!
Our beautiful, gentle fur-baby King Oscar went over the rainbow bridge on 10th January 2024 with his Mom, Dad & Aunty holding him close. Although it broke our hearts to let him go, Oscar will be forever with us, watching over us, giving us a guiding paw when we need it most 🐾👑
1/3 Hello everyone it's Oscar's Dad. I wanted to let you know that our perfect superstar soared gracefully and peacefully over the rainbow🌈🐈this afternoon. He is, and always will be his Mom and Dad's complete pride and joy.
Hello everyone, it's Oscar's Mom & Dad. We have some very sad news to share with you. We had to take Oscar to the emergency vet this afternoon due to ongoing problems that came to ahead today. They think he has a tumour that is serious enough to put him on palliative care... 1/2
3/3 Things are too raw for me to say much more, except for.. what a wonderful world it would be if everyone could “Be More Oscar”. In other words..
Give all the love you have, and insist on the best.
LONG LIVE THE KING !!!😸😻👑 God Bless xxxxxx
Morning all, it's Oscar's Dad. Oscar has had a peaceful night. Our beautiful superhero is still fighting but he is struggling to eat and is becoming weak now. Keeping him comfy and cosy and taking vet's advice today. God Bless you all x 🐾
2/2 Oscar is currently at home with us after having been given meds to help him eat & for pain relief. We will have to take him to the vets tomorrow for more tests but prognosis isn't good. We will keep you posted. Oscar wants to thank you for all your love, we are heartbroken 💔
2/3 From the second he made a beeline for me in the retirement village I was besotted😻. It is of course devastating, but the love and support you have all sent us has made a real and important difference. Thankyou from the bottom of our three hearts ♥
Hello all this is Oscar's Dad. Mom has been working hard tonight to thank all who are sending love to Oscar and us, so I just want to let you all know that, devastated as we are, to know you care, and also see how much we worship and care for Oscar is a great comfort. God Bless x
Oscar's Dad here with a quick goodnight message to all. We just wanted to thank each and every one of you for your deeply heartfelt messages. We can assure you that we have read and greatly value every single one, you are amazing and full of real love.

Hi it's me, King Oscar here. Mom says the meds seem to be working & I have eaten more today. I've had lots of cuddles & snoozes, & enjoyed snuggling with my big dog soft toy. I'm still lively & jumped up here myself! Thank mew for everything 😻
1/2 Hi everyone, Oscar's Mom here. Oscar's come down with cat flu & isn't eating much at all. He tries to be himself but he's very quiet. The Vet says his immune system isn't working properly because he has Lymphoma & he can't have meds for cat flu as he is on steroids. We're ...
2/2 Having a quiet time snuggled up in my blanket today. Thank mew to all you wonderful hoomans and the very special moggies and doggies who have sent your love, it made us all stronger. You are all paw-some, Oscie loves you x 😻🐾
Hello! King Oscar here 😻👑
Good news! My meds are working well & I'm eating a bit more. I've found my voice again so I'm almost back to my chatty self. I'm now having cuddles on Mom's lap on the settee while Dad has a well-earned rest from looking after my every need. Purrs 😻👑
King Oscar here! 👑 Thought I'd jump into the kitchen sink this evening to show you all how much better I am on my meds! Dad's quite tired today as I was hungry at 2am this morning & he came downstairs to lay out my banquet which I ate quite a bit of before he went back to bed!😻
1/2 Hi Oscie Fans, yes it's me the King !
Like Mom says I am a poorly cat, but I am still fighting and managed to pick up last night and scoffed some yummy tripe which Mom and Dad got for me. 🥫🐈🐾
King Oscar here! A quiet day today as meds can make me a bit drowsy💤
I did eat some of my food after Dad put it in the blender to make sure I eat the meat & not just the jelly! Dad knows me well! 😻
I'm now huddled on the sofa with my heated pad & my throws 😻💤

I have my own kingdom & my hoomans (servants) love me to bits 😻🐾💖
2/2 watching him over next 24 hours as per Vet's advice & trying him on food suggested. Not much success so far but we'll see how it goes. Options are very limited. Possible IV fluids o/night at Vet's 2morrow night but hard decision possibly coming up this week. Bless you🕯🐾💔👑
King Oscar here! 😻👑 I was allowed to explore the whole kitchen this morning & it was quite an adventure as Dad stopped me trying to get into the microwave, & Mom gently shooed me away from the tumble dryer! 😹 I like to keep my hoomans on their toes 😹
Night night everyone 😻

...a few more months of good life as long as the meds work. Paws & fingers crossed🤞🐾
Thank you all so much for all the love, paw circle, prayers & kindness you have shown Oscar and us too, it means so much to us. God Bless
😻💕👑
Oscar update: better news today! We wanted you all to know that Oscar is back home with Mom & Dad, & is on new meds after seeing his own vet today & has a correct diagnosis of Lymphona & thickened intestine. Although his prognosis still isn't great, we may have 1/2
Night night everyone! I've settled on Mom's lap before bedtime. It's been a rather snoozy day today,

Thankyou so much. I was sort of expecting this and indeed when I went outside earlier, there was indeed just the one star. God bless x
Hi everyone it's Oscar here, nice and snug and not bothering too much with those noisy fireworks outside. We want all our hoomans to enjoy bonfire night, but please make sure we're all safe and sound. Here's some great tips from my friends
@ShropsCatRescue
Hello everyone! As you can see I'm waiting very patiently for teatime. Hoping it's chicken again, it's my favourite 😻🍗🍗🍗
Mom says I'm only pretending to be patient as she says she heard me demanding food from the kitchen. I've no idea what she means... 😇😹👑

Hi Happy Sunday Oscie Fans. Isn't it hot !🔥. I've been finding lots of cooler places to curl up. As Mom and Dad know I usually do my own stunts (sideways micro-zoomies a speciality !), but I think I've found a great stunt-double too.. 🐾
Hello everyone! 👑 I'm having a

, please tell them about the Christmas East Shropshire Talking Newspaper, which me & Dad have just finished. Thankyou and lots of hugs and wows for Christmas.. Oscar x

Oscar wanted us to post a pic showing how comfortable he is. He's very cosy & has had some food as the meds appear to be working. It is palliative care, but we're hoping they give us more time with him as he is still very much himself x
Hi Everyone, Been very busy helping Dad in his studio recently, and he's asked me to thank all you kind hoomans who have re-posted his radio show tweets. (I did manage to grab plenty of those yummy chicken legs from the Christmas show buffet by the way.. ! 🍗 😹

I'm making sure Mom has a lie in (aka she's under the cat so can't move 😹). As it's Stay with Oscar day, we may be here some time 😹

Dad helps me post/tweet sometimes when Mom's busy...😹
My paws are too big for the phone so I press all the keyboard at once, & I keep rubbing my face on the screen! Dad says it's Lunch time! Wa-a 😹😻🐾🐾🐾
Hello everyone! As cuddles, sleeping, and exploring my new kingdom takes up so much of my energy, i've invented a new concept to fit it all in.. it's called "Micro-Zoomies" 😻
Hello everyone! 😻👑 I've had a fab few days helping Dad plan his radio shows 🎧🎤 & I had second breakfast & snacks today too! 😻
Mom's hoping I've got room for my tea. It's Chicken, I've always got room for yummy chicken 🐓

As many of you know, I have a large repertoire of super sounds, which Mom and Dad have a medley from during my welcome every morning. I might appear on Dad's show sometime if the mood takes me, but just rehearsing for now.. 👑 😻 🎧 🎤

Good Morning Friends ! Isn't it fun to chase a fly around the house at 1am ! That didn't seem to wake Dad up much, so I thought he'd like it if I sprang out of the end of my tunnel to 'surprise' him at 4am.. that seemed to do the trick !! 😸😎🐈🐾🐾🐾

They're definitely kept on their toes! I pulled the carpet up from behind the lounge door so no one could get into the lounge at one point, & I keep scratching the carpet next to the scratching post 😹 Photo evidence added by Mom! Dad says we needed a new carpet anyway 😇😹🐾👑😻

Thank mew! I'm always on hand to give my opinion on songs to include. Dad says I'm very chatty 😹 My hoomans say they've never heard a cat so chatty, but I've got such a lot to say, especially when they're taking too long preparing my banquets! 😹 👑😻

I will put my order in then 👑😻 Mom thinks I'd like one with a built in hammock & I think that's a fab idea.
Mom's just told me that it's bedtime, but I must have a play before bed to use up some energy after all the napping I've done today 😸🐈🐾🐾
