🐾 This is Oka, a domestic shorthair we picked up as a very sick stray from a grocery store parking lot in Stewartville Minnesota USA in 2013. We immediately took him to our veterinarian, hoping he could "put him back together" again. He stayed there for several days until he was stable enough to join our family. Our vet estimated him to be about six months old back then and informed us that he was also deaf which made it even more of a miracle that he had survived outside since he couldn't hear any cars coming or backing up in that huge parking lot. So when I moved back to Germany, Oka of course came with us, along with our two other cats also former strays and our dogs. No-one got left behind, even our two parakeets made it safely. Oka sometimes has a way to make himself comfortable in a not exactly complimentary position 🤣 yet he still manages to squeeze himself into a small box. You just gotta love this guy. Of course he has been castrated since 2013, but all of our female cats adore him 😻 He is definitely a very gentle and lovable Romeo 💘 This one is for you Oka...
