…..ahem…what does one say!?…………Oskar…….I looooovvveeee your pink
*kitty lips!!!*
Well I am speechless…………Hi Oscar :))
me too , i am from iran
Adorable ball of orangeness
Awwww! Little ball of fluff!
such a cutie!!!!
Oh WoW,Oskar! This what happens when your momma is a kittie and daddy was a wise old owl! :)) :))
OMG! He *does* look like an owl! A saw whet owl! (I think that’s the smallest kind!)
I love those pink little baby kitten lips! I want a little kittie-kiss!
Oskar, I love your nose and lips and your stripes. You are a real cutie.
Three words: Oskar you’re cute!
Do contractions count as one word?
Seriously, that is like an orange poofy with eyes. Yet another case of the IBK’s (Itty Bitty Kitties)!
oh my!! he is so fat or is he fluffy!!!??? Either way - he is the cutest - how do you not just cuddle him up every day?!?!?
That is the cutest little face!!!!!!!!
too cute!
you just can’t help smiling lookin’ at that face…with a built-in smile like Garfield - i love!
I had an orange kitty with orange eyes YEARS ago, but some neighborhood children swiped him away on Halloween night … we usually brought our kitties inside Halloween night before the neighborhood kids went around Trick-or-Treating. We got the other two kitties safe in the house, but couldn’t find Buffy ANYWHERE! He’s been missed for nearly 10 years now, and will continue to be missed forever more - as I am sure all of you can relate!
anyways, back to cheery things…Oskar is so sweet looking!
*MARMALADE FUZZ*
OMG! meegle I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you. I think I am going to go give my ginger baby a big squeeze.
thanks…it was very crushing to accept back when it happened. and i have since gotten two kiddos to fill that void, which are the only ones that i have currently - the other two we had at that time developed illness beyond medical treatment. but those two had great, happy and long lives - considering all three were outdoor cats, Tigger and Spock were 13 and 18 years old, respectively.
I hope your kids are indoor kitties now. I don’t want to preach so I’m not going to…but I feel very strongly that kitties are safer and better off inside :))
I firmly agree - and they have a longer life span indoors as well (at least from what i have read). Yes, they are both indoors - Tawney is actually AFRAID to go beyond the doors unless inside her PetTaxi. Jaz is only permitted to be outside for at most 5 minutes with my supervision. The chipmunks, birds, butterflies and moles test their nerves and patience though - with a few “run-ins” with the screen doors. …short-term memories, I cringe everytime I see them attempting to catch “trespassers” day after day
What a cute little orange ball of fuzz! So fluffy and look at that sweet look on his face! Love it! –Just to let you know, I have not yet caught the stray cat in our neighborhood. Working on it, but believe it or not, she’s gotten out of the trap twice (flies out before the door shuts). She is a fast one. I put the food as far back as I could, even put food leading into the cage so that she’d follow the trail. I still think she’ll come back though, she’s pretty hungry.
Cheryl,
Perhaps if you put a large piece of meat out there—-something she has to gnaw on—-she won’t have enough time to “release” it out of her mouth before the door shuts—just an idle thought…..
thank you so much for helping this poor cat….
Thanks, I will try…
Hey mom what’s with the lipstick? I’m ready for my close up Mr. DeMille.
His water dish is almost bigger than him…
Is that a little water dripping off of Oskar’s lips? He looks like I do when I first wake up in the morning….drool all over my face and the ‘deer caught in the headlights’ look…not a pretty sight….me in the mornings that is…Oskar on the other hand is adorable.
=^_^=
Smiling kitty!
Peace,
JT
Sweet ginger baby!!
Oskar! I want to pick him up and cuddle him. How adorable! The cute factor is almost off the scales!
Veni Vidi Vici!!
Awwww… he’s adorable! I just want to hold him!
Oh my god how cute. That is one of the most adorable kittens I’ve ever seen.
Roly Poly Fuzz!
The cute factor is almost off the scale. I just want to moosh Oskar and never let his little paws touch the ground again. I have a feeling that as small as he is now, he is going to grow to be a BIG cat.
Oh My GOODNESS—-what an absolutely adorable ball of fluff!!
Oh. My. Goodness. And three more words - PINK KITTEH LIPS!!
He’s a delight! He brought a smile to my face.
I love litttle pink noses and pink kitty lips!!
He looks full of innocence (with hidden mischief!)
Oh no you di’ int!
That is one sweet little ball of fuzz. He looks kind of like those little Troll dolls, but way cuter.
The tiniest and cutest kitten in the world! Can he even eat solid’s yet?
Where can I get a doorstop like that?? haha
he is all like “it wasnt me i swear!!!” it is super
Oskar takes the award for Best Floofiness - Marmalade Cat-agory.
“YOU REALLY LIKE ME” FUZZ
We really do!
Those three words says it all. This is Oskar!! A very present cutie.
Omg! Too freaky cute! Overloaded on cuteness…must run away from all the cute!
One word: WOW!!!
Oskar is such a cute kitten_ he looks surpprised
omg his face is adorable! Any grown up pictures, or is he still this fuzzy boy?
What a funny-looking kitten! In a good way!
He looks like a cute little monster. Love the stubby legs and tiny face.
I LOVE OSKAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*CAT GAMES*
“Catch Mouse”: The humans would have you believe that those lumps under the covers are their feet and hands. They are lying. They are actually Bed Mice, rumored to be the most delicious of all the mice in the world, though no cat has ever been able to catch one. Rumor also has it that only the most ferocious attack can stun them long enough for you to dive under the covers to get them. Maybe YOU can be the first to taste the Bed Mouse!
“King of the Hill”: This game must be played with at least one other cat. The more, the merrier! One or both of the sleeping humans is Hill 303 which must be defended at all costs from the other cat(s). Anything goes. This game allows for the development of unusual tactics as one must take the unstable playing theater into account.
WARNING: Playing either of these games to excess will result in expulsion from the bed and possibly from the bedroom. Should the humans grow restless, immediately begin purring and cuddle up to them.
This should buy you some time until they fall asleep again. If one happens to be on a human when this occurs, this cat wins the round of King of the Hill.
** TOYS: Any small item is a potential toy. If a human tries to confiscate it, this means that it is a Good Toy. Run with it under the bed. Look suitably outraged when the human grabs you and takes it away.
Always watch where it is put so you can steal it later. Two reliable sources of toys are dresser tops and wastebaskets. There are several types of cat toys.
Bright shiny things like keys, brooches, or coins should be hidden so that the other cat(s) or humans can’t play with them. They are generally good for playing hockey with on uncarpeted floors.
Dangly and/or string-like things such as shoelaces, cords, gold chains, and dental floss also make excellent toys. They are favorites of humans who like to drag them across the floor for us to pounce on. When a string is dragged under a newspaper or throw rug, it magically becomes the Paper/Rug Mouse and should be killed at all costs. Take care, though. Humans are sneaky and will try to make you lose your Dignity.
** PAPER BAGS: within paper bags dwell the Bag Mice. They are small and camouflaged to be the same color as the bag, so they are hard to see. But you can easily hear the crinkling noises they make as they scurry around the bag. Anything, up to and including shredding the bag, can be done to kill them. Note: any other cat you may find in a bag hunting for Bag Mice is fair game for a Sneak Attack, which will usually result in a great Tag match.
** FOOD: In order to get the energy to sleep, play, and hamper, a cat must eat. Eating, however, is only half the fun. The other half is getting the food. Cats have two ways to obtain food: convincing a human you are starving to death and must be fed NOW; and hunting for it oneself. The following are guidelines for getting fed.
a) When the humans are eating, make sure you leave the tip of your tail in their dishes when they are not looking.
b) Never eat food from your own bowl if you can steal some from the table.
c) Never drink from your own water bowl if a human’s glass is full enough to drink from.
d) Should you catch something of your own outside, it is only polite to attempt to get to know it. Be insistent–your food will usually not be so polite and try to leave.
e) Table scraps are delicacies with which the humans are unfortunately unwilling to readily part. It is beneath the Dignity of a cat to beg outright for food as lower forms of life such as dogs will, but several techniques exist for ensuring that the humans don’t forget you exist. These include, but are not limited to: jumping onto the lap of the “softest” human and purring loudly; lying down in the doorway between the dining room and the kitchen, the Direct Stare, and twining around people’s legs as they sit and eat while meowing plaintively.
** SLEEPING: As mentioned above, in order to have enough energy for playing, a cat must get plenty of sleep. It is generally not difficult to find a comfortable place to curl up. Any place a human likes to sit is good, especially if it contrasts with your fur color.
If it’s in a sunbeam or near a heating duct or radiator, so much the better. Of course, good places also exist outdoors, but have the disadvantages of being seasonal and dependent on current and previous weather conditions such as rain. Open windows are a good compromise.
** SCRATCHING POSTS: It is advised that cats use any scratching post the humans may provide. They are very protective of what they think is their property and will object strongly if they catch you sharpening your claws on it. Being sneaky and doing it when they aren’t around won’t help, as they are very observant. If you are an outdoor kitty, trees are good. Sharpening your claws on a human is a definite no-no!
** HUMANS: Humans have three primary functions: to feed us, to play with and give attention to us, and to clean the litter box. It is important to maintain one’s Dignity when around humans so that they will not forget who is the master of the house. Humans need to know basic rules. They can be taught if you start early and are consistent.
You will then have a smooth-running household.
That’s funny! My Molly is an avid “bed mouse” hunter!
*weiner FUZZ*
(someone let me know if you ‘get’ this?)
oscar mayer weiner? That is what I’d really like to be…
Yes!
Thanks rancher
I live in north dallas, preston and frankford. Small world! -e
I’m in Las Colinas. Where are you??
Sue where is Las Colinas? The last few days I’ve been asking people to tell what part of the world they live in.
Ok Oscar is adorable!!!
I love that deer in the headlights look.
Chester in NC
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to my curiosity.
I check before I go to bed rather late so I have read the ones that came in late the last two nights. So thanks for adding your info.
Las Colinas is a big “master-planned community” (business and residential) in Irving, TX. Irving is just outside of Dallas. We have very easy access to the airport and downtown. And with the new turnpike we have out here now, Elaine is just several easy miles away. I’ve been enjoying the site very much.
He looks like he was just in the glazed doughnuts! Sweet little marmalade kitty…spread him on toast. Yum!
what a cutie……………half pint FUZZ
What a sweetie! I want one, or two or twenty-seven.
OMG Oskar is just too cute for words! Does he have a twin?
Check out this hysterical link! A woman in Oregon taught her 5 cats to swim in her pool….

Thanks Dee, Too cute. Alfie my ginger kittie, loves to splash in my sink. I don’t have a pool but maybe I will try this in the tub
:))
My little tux baby Clio plays in her water dish.
looks like a furby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are so very right.
Beautiful!!!!!! Little legs, and the water drool is so cute. You couldn’t have asked for a better picture.
Absolutely the pussiest cat I have seen… today! Gorgeous.
O.K. I am ready take my picture
*My water dish is empty FUZZ*
Oskar should win an award for Cutest Kitty (except for my two, of course)!!
Is it just me, or does Oskar resemble a cute little Furby?
He is so, so adorable!!!!!
haha yea he does look like one of those furbies…..adorable
I know this is a ‘Kitten’ site, but I just watched the most touching video about dogs….here is the link…
I hope I did this correct as the video is really worth it.
http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=a8c39ad9e69cb71b1f9f294f2c50022f.496137&cache=1
That is the cutest video. I loved it! Definitely worth checking out.
Oskar is so precious. I love fluffy kitties. And his little lips are just adorable. What a sweetheart.
Wow! What a heart warming little song and lovely pics.
I love dogs also :))
He’s adorable, I think he looks like a Firey from Labyrinth.
The poor baby has water on his chin fluff that makes him look like he’s frowning.
Update on Izzy:
Izzy is doing OK. Right now she is down in my room hiding under the chair. I threw a toy mouse her way and she came out for a second but then she backed up and under the chair. This time she’s a little closer to the outside of the chair. Progress? Maybe.
I am not a regular here but recently found this site. I have been watching your posts about your precious kittie. I wish you luck and much patience. My hubby and I had a shelter find that didn’t want anything to do with anyone. One day out of the blue I was taking a nap, hubby came out and she was laying on my legs. From that time on she wasn’t very far from me.
It can happen.
Kristen,
I am glad you have Izzy in your room. Just a couple of words.
Gently, slowly, calmly..Tie a string on the mouse and once Izzy shows interest start pulling it towards you. No sudden moves. Treat her very gently, OK sweetie?
omigod…i wuv him…..smooches to him!!! snorgle snorgle
Too Cute!!!
I agree with Kathy in Ohio. The first thing I thought when I saw this kitten was that he looks like a Furby!
Oh my gosh I love this website - Oskar - I want to kiss your sweet little nose! So sweet and cute!
two words: how adorable
Oskar is just too cute. He makes me want to just hug him up and spoon feed him kitty treats! I love this website, my husband discovered it a few months back and signed me up. There’s not a day goes by that I don’t check it out. To Kristen, have patience sweetie. It will be worth it. I have been through this several times and have had success. Best wishes to you and Izzy.
He looks just like the Pink Panther fell in orange dye, and triped into the dryer, and when he came out he was a puff ball. LOL He is just the cutest kitten I have ever seen!!!
Everyone has said it all for Oskar, he is a handsome cutie pie! What an adorable face and those eyes! Those short legs! He’ll probably grow up to be a big boy!
Keep the cuties coming as they make my day!
Oh, Oskar! I couldn’t bear to be away from all that orange, fluffy cuteness so he would have to come to work with me everyday!!!
I think he is just tiny enough to fit in my pocket.
Three words… greatest kitten ever
He is so stubby, I love it! He is gonna be a charmer, all orange tabbys are. It was an orange Tabby that changed my perception of cats. They are the greatest and this little fellow is gonna touch the lives of many, I can see it now!
I just have to say….I woke up all cranky this morning to loud construction happening next door at 7:30am on a Saturday (just not RIGHT), and Oskar just cheered me right up. How could anyone not smile seeing him? He could climb his little fluffy self right into his bowl to eat his din-din!
Water dish is bigger than me FUZZ! I was thinking about taking a swim. Him lips are still pink baby lips wait till he gets older he;ll show you all, calling him a Furby and all.
i wish i had an identical kitten he is sooo CUTE!!!
Oh My Gosh! I have always wanted to have an orange tabby named Oskar with a “K”. You are so lucky!!
oh!!! he’s a furball!!!! soooo cute!
OH MY GoODNESS! Little, ball o’ fluff! He looks like a little adorable smooshed troll! LOVE HIM!!!!!
HE LOOKS LIKE BALL OF FUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.I LOVE HIM
Awww! es so cue but he sure does look like an Owl! LOL!
