Ocey Lives!
From our graphic artist, Davo Dees:
oh my gosh, I visited Ocey in the hospital today, I was pretty nervous of what I was about to see, was he going to recognizable? Was I going to freak out and start sobbing at the pitiful sight? Last time I saw him two days ago he was dying, fragile, shaking, and dehydrated. What a difference a day makes! I walked in the visiting room and he crawled right into my lap, looking amazing, and I could feel the Ocey personality i know so well. It was almost like waking up and realizing it was all just a bad dream, only a few days ago I was distraught and thinking i would never see him again, and here he is next to me, it is a moment i will never forget. I truly adore this guy, i have had cats my whole life, but I am telling you he is a big being in a little body. Even the surgeon told me twice that this is a very special cat, i don’t know if she tells everyone that, but she looked at me like she was pretty serious. This Ocey is magical. I guess you can tell i am a cat person by now, more like a cat lady, as you see i like to walk my cats throug the park to the amazement of everyone watching. How do you herd cats? The key is actually have one cat that is a really good walker, and the others follow him, and Ocey is my walker, he walks ahead of me, glancing over his shoulder occassionally. This week I tried to walk Cow, it was almost impossible, took forever, he just was barely focused without Ocey there.
But now about money. I have not got the final bill yet. Originally the estimate was 2000 dollars, today she said that it was up to 2300 dollars, and that does not include the hip joint operation that will happen next week. But then she said that there is a new doctor that has never done one, and they would do it for free. YEA.
Donations on Paypal are now around 1400 dollars, More than half way there, hope I can make another push for anybody with an extra 20 bucks, they are adding up, go to paypal and go to davodees@hotmail.com, if you have not donated please consider a little bit for a good cause. Ocey is so wonderful, and I promise a lots of new adventures with this little character.
Thanks to the very deep bottom of my poor beating heart for the support the donations that have come in to help me and my best friend, tears fall really easily when i only think about the people who put they love into this project of bringing back this little guy. I received so many emails, stories I want to acknowledge with a reply, people who could not afford to donate, but did anyway, what can you say to that kind of love? And the well wishes really did help a lot, knowing people care enough to write me does widen my view of the world and the great friends I have met here. You will notice in the video that I am looking pretty puffy, too many days of emotions and ups and downs will do that to you.
Here are some new Ocey videos too.
You MUST see the Ocey spring attack! very funny.
