Lorna and I were married for a week or two when Lorna decided we needed a pet or two...so we looked at the paper and a woman had two cats left and she lived in the worst part of Pontiac, Michigan...we walked in the door and she said if you don't take em were putting them to sleep...from the second we got in the car Oreo chose me and Patches chose Lorna...today when Lorna called me crying to tell me OREO had passed and I was overcome with a flood of great memories.
This cat was a dog. she was waiting at the door when you got home, she would wait for you to sit down to jump up on your lap, she would lay on your belly while watching TV and patiently return if you had to get up and go somewhere for a few minutes...she would leap up 6 feet when playing keep away and complain if you didn't feed her on time...smart for a cat don't you think ?
I'm so glad I had her in my life...she's not replaceable or forgetable...she is survived by her brother Patches, cousin Spike and Kevin and Lorna who will never truly get over the purring, seemingly caring soul of one black & white kitty that captured our hearts. I can't believe she's gone.
