Continuing the series of posts on our pets, the picture above best embodies the personality of Oreo (on the left). She is the center of attention, the princess, the dominant cat in the household. Jenevra acquired Oreo as a kitten in 2004 before we met, so she's the oldest cat, and also the only female animal. She is a small, dainty cat with really fluffy, well kept fur. One of her parents was a show cat.
Oreo has gotten sweeter and sweeter through the years, but still one of her most distinguishing characteristics is her moodiness. Her mood changes very quickly and for no obvious reason. Sometimes it'll seem she's purring and growling/hissing at the same time. She also transfers her anger onto the other animals. If the dog is too close to her, she'll slap another cat.
Oreo demands attention from us. Often, when I'm rubbing Jenevra's back, Oreo will get in between us and demand I rub her instead. She gets the prime seat in bed, right next to my head, though you have to be careful or she'll puke up a hairball on you in the middle of the night or sneeze in your face.
One of the cutest things Oreo does is demand her belly be rubbed, just like a dog. And she actually seems to enjoy it. Another really cute thing Oreo does occasionally is emit a really high pitched squeak when picked up.
Climate is my favorite, but Oreo is the prettiest. Snowy seems to take care of himself and be stable and mentally healthy without standing out, but there is nothing wrong with that. And Nimbo--I am always thankful for Nimbo because of his devotion to you and his love of snow, the love that binds us all together. Merry Christmas to all of you.
