It was heartwarming (and sometimes sad and scary) to read about the life you have shared so far with beautiful Oreo. I am so relieved that these beautiful kittens were found by your family because as you know, in Québec, we have a huge problem with the lack of animal welfare laws and overpopulation of cats (and dogs). Thank goodness Oreo and Patches crossed paths with such animal-loving people and now have the special fur-ever homes they deserve. I wish you many many happy, healthy years together and will now go and look up your books. Must encourage local talent, especially if it means helping pussycats at the same time.
