Today we sadly said goodbye to our little Oreo. We have had him since he was a barely weaned month old kitten. When we got him we tried to give him a bottle but he rejected it and ate solid food. From that day he grew into an amazing cat. He and Cookie fought a lot, but they also had moments of cuddling together and grooming each other.
Oreo wasn't the kind of cat to spend his days snuggling and being held, but he showed his love in his own way. In his later years he and I bonded over food. I would give him bites of what I was having and his face used to light up when he would see a piece of chicken drop to the ground.
He began to lose weight two years ago and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. We controlled it through a strict diet and until Thursday, he was thriving. On Thursday he suddenly stopped eating and couldn't walk very far anymore. He picked the bath tub as his death bed and we put a blanket down for him. We were planning to take him to the vet if he was still alive come Monday, but he passed on his own this morning.
Rest in peace Oreo. I love you and I will miss you.
