Oreo was the most loyal and loving cat you could ever imagine.  My parents got him for me when I was 8 years old and we became best friends.  I'm now 21 and not having him around is one of the most difficult things I've had to go through up until now.  Oreo was my comfort.  When I had a bad day or a bad week, I would scoop him up, take him to my room and just lay in bed with him and tell him all about it.  He would just lay next to me with a content look on his face that always made me feel more lighthearted about everything.  It was always hard to be away from Oreo while I was at school and unfortunately I was away at school when Oreo died.  I'll always miss him, our friendship, the love he showed me and the comfort he gave me when nothing else could.
