Oreo liked her water fresh and cold and preferably running. Mom Kim would have to push her out of the way when brushing her teeth. Kim remembers, “Oreo liked catnip (but only on the carpet, never on the hardwood) and chasing after the laser pointer light. She liked turkey and sushi but didn’t care for deli roast beef. She could not be bothered to hunt, not even spiders. She loved to be brushed.” Learn more about Kim and Oreo’s life together in her blog post, Elegy for Cleo. Warning: It is heartbreaking.
