Our cat Oliver Hardy aka Ollie is just about the best darn cat anyone could have! He is a very loving, sensitive and motherly or fatherly (since he is a boy) cat to everyone including Butch. When my mom came home and stayed with us for about one month after having hip surgery, he stayed right by her side both day and night. Whenever Mimi is sick in bed, he will constantly check in on her to make sure she is ok. There are times when Butch will drive Ollie nuts with his barking or nipping of his tail but Ollie puts up with him. Sometimes I think that Ollie likes playing with Butch too. There are times when Ollie will follow Butch into another room just so that Butch can and will annoy him. I know that Ollie knows that Butch had a procedure done at the vet the other day. Since Butch came home yesterday afternoon Ollie has been keeping a watchful eye of him. This afternoon as usual I walked Butch and the kids to school. Ollie who has been keeping a watchful eye on Butch followed behind us all of the way. Man did it cause a ruckus!!! The older kids were just coming out of the building just after we arrived and saw Ollie. The girls just shrieked with excitement at seeing a cat at school. Of course Mimi and her friends were right in the middle of all of this excitement. Mimi was proudly telling everyone "This is MY CAT". Ollie on the other hand loved all of the attention but at the same time trying to watch out for Butch. When all was said and done, the three of us Butch, Ollie and myself walked quietly home.
