I'm very sad to report that Oreo passed away after a short illness. We miss her terribly, but we had a great ~16 years with her, and she was an awesome cat! Oreo had some health problems over the years, but she had been doing great for the past year or so, aside from some arthritis. She was back to her fighting weight, enjoying her retirement in Monterey, where she had many many sunny perches. Here are some recent pictures of her.
