Oley and Willow



My two cats are O’Ley and Willow. Willow is 16 years old, gray with a white stripe down his tail. He was all gray but one summer within a week’s time, his tail turned white like a skunk! He loves my raspberry iced tea. He goes crazy over watermelon, meowing until he gets some. And he has to have ice cubes in his water and he doesn’t like to eat out of a dish that isn’t full.
O’Ley was adopted after my female cat, Baby, the tuxedo cat died. Willow howled every night so we went to Operation Kindness and adopted O’Ley. He’s 9 years old now. He’s cream color (some think he’s white) and has one brown ear and a brown tail. Unlike Willow, who is long haired, O’Ley has short hair. And he also only has three legs! He had a tumor on his left hind leg. The tumor was removed but it grew back. His leg had to be removed before the cancer spread. He gets along great with three legs. He chased Randy’s dog all around the yard this summer. He eats like a dog, chomps anything down in a few mouthfuls. O’Ley is a real loving cat.
