Like Breezy, he just showed up here on our porch/deck on March 22nd, 2019.
Now Breezy was super skinny, and had appeared to have been outside a while. So these past couple of years, Breezy is nice and plump (not fat or obese), and healthy. Breezy had trouble jumping up even on a regular height table, like one of his back hind feet was injured. Now he can jump the height of me onto a cabinet just an inch taller than me.
The newer cat seemed in better shape, as in clean and well-fed, and we were thinking he had wandered off and belonged to someone.
We had checked the local animal shelter in their lost and found pics and posts. Our local Paw Boost site. Newspaper lost and found pets, and our County Critter Finders. Although there were several similar tabby cats missing that looked like him, they were either FOUND and back home or were female cats, or didn't have the white markings.
So it's been over two months, and NO ONE is missing this lovable boy. So guess what? We have another cat.
He will jump into our laps and put his paws over our shoulders, or HUG US, with one paw on either side of our necks.
If we're lying down on the bed, he is ON TOP OF US and gets RIGHT IN OUR FACES.
Just LIKE THIS...

| Now THIS is a LOVABLE CAT! |
How can ANYONE just toss a cat like this? But yet NO ONE has reported him as missing. Maybe he aggravated them by wanting to be in their faces. He wants to be held a lot.
How Did He Get His Name?...
Last year after Miracle passed, our favorite daily messenger said to me to keep Miracle's stuff, etc... because he saw another cat coming my way. And that maybe I could name it in honor of Miracle.
So I opted for Oracle. Because O-racle like Mi-racle. And Oracle meaning delivered by prophecy. Which I was expecting at some point. Ahem! See how that happened?!
Oracle Meeting Breezy...
It took a little bit longer with Oracle and Breezy, than it did with Miracle and Breezy.

Honestly, my hubs did not want to find the owners, simply because he said if they let the cat out in the cold then they shouldn't have a cat, or some thing to that effect. But I said, I HAVE to make an effort to find owners, if any, to be fair. But no one ever reported him missing. I know this cat's hugging and loving is why my hubby was quick to fall in love with him. Who can blame him? Of all the cats, we've had throughout our whole lives, never had we seen one love on people, like Oracle does on us. Breezy is lovable and friendly, but he doesn't want to hug and lie on us for a long time like Oracle does.
Now Miracle was stand offish, and very unfriendly to strangers. Miracle never liked being picked up and/or held very long, except when he was a baby kitten. And he also did not like strangers either. Even when Breezy showed up, anyone that came to the house would be greeted by Breezy, but Miracle would run off and hide in the other room until they left.
Now Miracle was very friendly to my stepdaughter when she came to stay July 4th weekend in 2016. Breezy had shown up a little more than a month later.
And I can NOT find the rest of the 2016 pics anymore. They're gone from the MAC and/or backup HD. I guess they got deleted.
Here's a collage of the 4 cats that my hubby and had/have. Only 4, one being a female, the rest boys.
