Lets Chat About Cats - Episode 11 with special guest Mick Szydlowski, Oskar the Blind Cat, Juno, Klaus and George

LetsChatAboutCatsPodcast

In todays episode I had the pleasure to chat to Mick who is the dad of the world famous Oskar the Blind cat - yes you will know him from his viral video where he was fighting the air from the hairdryer!! SO cute and so fun!
Mick at that time had set up his you tube channel to upload videos of his cats for his family members to see them growing and having fun and little did he know that this video would be picked up all around the world and everyone would fall in love with little Oskar.
Oskar has sadly passed away and his death was one which was very sudden and shocked the cat community as they all mourned his loss.
Oskar and Klaus were a dynamic duo visiting schools and working with children and especially blind children. Mick has published children's books about the adventures of Klaus and Oscar and since Oskar was a blind cat the books were also published in braille so that blind children could join in the fun and follow Klaus and Oskar on their big adventures.
Not wanting to leave Klaus lonely after Oskar's passing Mick and his family opened up their home to another cat , she is Juno, is also blind and she is extremely beautiful. Juno joined the family but there was space for another member to join too and that space was filled by the lovely little George, also blind and so he completes the pack perfectly!
Hear all about the lives of Oskar, Klaus, Juno and George and their backstories, how being blind is not a disability and doesn't stop any of the gang doing things that other cats do.
This is a wonderful family and it was such a joy to chat to Mick and if you listen closely you will hear Juno during the interview! How lucky was I!
