That's Oscar! I used to see him out in squirrel hill all the time. He lost his leg to a rat trap--I'm a bit upset to see his caretakers still let him roam after that.

I figure it’s an outdoor cat, it’s definitely quite hefty and cared for but I haven’t seen it around before, but I wanted to check here on the off chance someone might know it.

That might be Oscar, but I haven't seen him in a few years. He used to stop by our porch for treats.

Oh, that would be good. This cat was very friendly. Does Bartlett St. sound about right for where he’d be around?

Okay then I most likely do know this cat! I used to feed it a few years ago, or a very similar one with a missing leg, when I was living on Alderson!

Amazing that they are still alive! It's 100% a street cat. It's been around since 2019 as that's when I first saw it.

Oh good! I hope this is the case. The cat was very friendly.

Which part of Bartlett street? I live between shady and Murray and have never seen this cat before. There are a couple houses on the street that feed the cats and have homemade cat shelters and there are about five that I have regularly seen the last two years I have lived in the area
