Oreo really wanted to live it up this holiday season just gone! South Beach is a party land, “The Playground of the Americas” and the rest of the world as well, so Oreo decided to hit every party in town. His human mama Claudia and her son, teenager William, who had rescued Oreo five years ago, were only too happy to dress their favorite feline in all kinds of snazzy outfits, as befitted different events.
Oreo enjoyed an office party in a corporate suite and tie, then in the evening fooled around in a Joker’s cap, complete with jingle bells. He hit the artsy Wynwood block party in cool shades and spent a classy evening at Vizcaya Gardens, looking more elegant than Fred Astaire.
Finally, Oreo wanted to participate in the Ugly Sweater Contest right here on South Beach, but wait! On his home turf our party animal hit a glitch! Only humans allowed to participate, he was told. “As the only distinguished member of feline minority, I should have won some kind of a prize, even if my sweater was quite pretty, rather than ugly, ” – thought Oreo, but all he could say was a frustrated “Meow!”
Fortunately, an abundance of cat toys under the tree and a delicious treat made him feel all better! Happy New Year, Oreo, Claudia, and William!

what a cute kitty =^^=
Thank you, dear Patricia! I’ll tell his mama, and she’ll tell him!
Awww so adorable!!
Isn’t he! Thank you, dear Pooja; I’ll tell his mama to tell him you said so!
Yes that would be great! I have a cat called Oreo too (just adopted him over Christmas) and this just melted my heart!!
Is he also black and white?
Yeah he looks just like this Oreo!
That’s beautiful! One of my cats is also tuxedo, but very fluffy as well, and gorgeous! ?
Awww that is absolutely adorable!
She thinks so! ?
Hehe most cats know exactly how cute they are
Oh yes! ?
Oreo is a delight. What FANTASTIC pictures. I love his tie. Also glad to see he was a shelter cat who was part of a spay & neuter program. He wears his missing ear tip with pride & distinction. A very uplifting article.
Thank you so much for you lovely comment, dear Linda! Oreo was not a shelter cat, though; he was rescued from the street by 12-year old William who convinced his mom Claudia to take the tiny mangy and hungry kitty home. Claudia was the one who joined the spay&neuter program, and it’s her pictures you see. In my humble opinion, Oreo is gorgeous, and so are the pictures!
Even better that Oreo was a rescue. My very first word, according to my mom, was CAT. I can’t imagine not sharing my life with one (or several). They give us so much & ask so little – shelter, food, a fantastic tie & some cool sunglasses. Thanks again for the fun snapshot of Oreo.
Thank you, dear Linda! ?
That definitely was discrimination. There should have been a contest for costume changes. Anyhoo…we certainly are happy that Oreo had gifts waiting for him. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
I’ll tell them you said so, guys and gals! Thank you for a lovely comment! Meows and loud purrs to you all!
He is so beautiful <3
Thank you so much, darling! I’ll tell him you said so.

Awwww! Stop it! The cuteness overload is too much:)
LOL Thank you, sweetheart! I’ve discovered that you and I share some favorite authors, I am so glad I have found your blog! ?
Awesome ?. I’m always happy to meet with another like minded book lover ?
Well, in this house books multiply on their own. You leave them in the dark overnight, and in the morning you find a few more! ?

The world just isn’t weighted fairly for cats. They make up for that fact by practicing disdain for us.
Very true. Oreo does not have the typical feline disdainful attitude, though. Perhaps it’s due to the fact that he owns a closetful of cutesy outfits, and William plays dress-up with him the way girls play with dolls.
My mother did that with our little dog.
Dogs are like dolls or little children, but cats don’t usually allow this kind of demeaning attitude.
But that’s a tuxedo cat! They are more into formal wear.
LOL
They are adorable. Jamima was lucky I am only onehNded. I might have been tempted to dress her up. Cheers,H
Thank you, dear Helen! I’ll tell Oreo and his humans. companions. ?
Love the winter jumper??
Thank you, dear Corinne! ?

I think his sweater is beautiful! And he should have been allowed in the contest! Although he was a very Kool Kat in the blue shades too. Oreo is all class!
Thank you, dear Nora!We think he is adorable, and such a sweet kitty, too. I’ll tell him and his humans. ?
What does being humane means to you?
Is it thinking good for others? or hating the wrong? What I saw today took me stunned and made me rethink my idea of being humane, being a good person! Am I the good person? should I call myself the one? and how many among you can?

Thank you for stopping by and for the link to your article. Unfortunately, there are many careless people in the world, without empathy to animals or to other people!
So true.. The world is getting more ruthless but we as a blogger have the power to build the better future but for this we needs to raise our voice together. We needs to be connected.
Very much so! That’s what the Lasting Joy club is all about – thank you, dear friend!
Joyfully,
Dolly
My pleasure ?
