Oreo came into our lives as a teeny, mewing three-day-old. His mama (a gorgeous Siamese with sky blue eyes) was trapped and gave birth to Oreo, his brother, and two sisters in the trap shortly after. 

Before he was named Oreo we called him Feisty - of all the kittens he had the most to say as we brought him home. We couldn't have been any farther off.

 

We've come to know Oreo to be a thoughtful, gentle, affectionate, and patient kitten. 

 

Of the litter, he is the most timid, but he is by no means shy. He has a slow, old-soul feel about him and takes his time to assess any situation. He'll often observe as his litter mates tumble over a toy while he patiently waits his turn and his purr is a soft rumble like a storm a couple miles in the distance. 

 

Once he's opened up it's not uncommon for him to stop by for a snuggle. While I'm working he'll sometimes snuggle in my arms and chest and politely avoids laying on the keyboard. Otherwise he'll rest somewhere soft nearby. 

 

If he's anywhere he ought not to be, a gentle clap will get him out of trouble. He will even (happily) leave a room if you call him with a "here kitty kitty" as we've tied that phrase to treats. He is a very, very good kitten. 

 

• He stomps a little when he comes down the stairs and it's adorable. We can literally tell it's him just from the stomps. 

• AKA Blackbean because he has one solitary black foot pad on his left rear foot, all the rest are pink. 

• AKA The Riddler because his tail makes a perfect question mark.

• We also call him double stufd because of the thick white stripe on his belly.

• He is so, so gentle and is very careful not to claw. 

• He will sometimes oversee litter cleanings and make sure everything is up to par. 

• He rests his paws on top of the water bowl when he drinks. 

• Sometimes he purrs when he plays. 

 

• Watching TV

• Being near his people. 

• Looking at and/or Pawing Water

• Kleenex - used or not!
