The Story of Oliver

When we moved into our house this April, we found a note from the previous owners that went something like this:

"Welcome to your new home, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did! You may be wondering why we left a bag of cat food on the counter... there is a stray cat living under the deck who "adopted" our house about 11 years ago, and he's been there ever since. His name is Oliver and all the neighbors know him by name. He will never step foot in the house, but likes to lounge around on the deck and keep the squirrels away. Please continue to feed him if you don't mind."

So now we have a gray cat living in our backyard! Jay is not a big fan of cats, but decided to take this video to introduce everyone to Oliver.

  2. This makes me think of your cat growing up, what was his name...Ewok? He was the mysterious cat that lived in the basement! Is he still around?

  3. Jay - "Hey Oliver, how come you're an idiot??"

    I love Jay, so much.

  4. You know Jay gets out there while you're not home and snuggles with Oliver. Probably brings him BBQ too. <3
