Arrival Story:
About a month after I adopted Ming, I decided he was alone too much while I was at work, and decided to get him a friend. I saw Oreo's sweet little face and fell in love.
Bio:
After taking home Oreo, all didn't go as planned. The first week I had him at home, he hid under the bed and wouldn't come out. I'd have to check under the bed to make sure he was OK, as you'd never even know there was another kitten in the apartment. Ming simply HATED having his turf invaded, which didn't help. I courted Oreo by crawling on my tummy to him - it was the only way he didn't feel intimidated. He eventually became totally bonded to me, and is now a total "Momma's Boy". I can sleep clutching him like a teddy bear, and he just purrs. Oreo suffered from FLUTD when he was three years old and nearly died from blockages twice, so he had PU surgery to allow him to pass crystals. He had no problems for a decade, and in 2005 had flare-ups again. We switched his diet to raw plus a high quality, grainless pet food (don't know if I'm allowed to name brands, so I won't) and he's been fine for about a year. In October 2006 we moved from California to Illinois where we bought our first home. It's much bigger than anywhere he's ever lived and has stairs. The move was initially stressful for him, but he's gotten over it and has been acting more playful and kitten-like than I've seen him in years. He's a very happy, very spoiled fur-child.
Update: A few months after we moved to Illinois, our beloved Oreo developed Pancreatitis, which resulted in diabetes and CRF. For a time we were able to manage his symptoms, but eventually we were unable to regulate his diabates.
Oreo was assisted over the Rainbow Bridge on April 13, 2009. He was nearly 17 years old and he is dearly missed.

After a long battle with pancreatitis and diabetes, we helped Oreo cross the Rainbow Bridge on April 13, 2009. This beautiful, gentle soul was nearly 17 years old and I'm having a tough time imagining life without my sweet mama's boy. His amazing personality, the depths of his unconditional love
and adoration, and the gentle, playful wisdom that shone through his big green eyes made him a benevolent king among cats; our unique and special bond will be sorely missed.
