I was 8 weeks old when Momma found me.
I was in the paper, free to good home.
She came to see me & picked me up
& instantly I was loved.
As we drove she picked my name.
He looks like an Oreo cookie she said
& on the radio a commercial came.
Wouldn't you know it, Oreo's!
And I knew I was loved.
I SO liked to play & chase things.
She bought me lots of toys.
She cuddled with me all the time
& I knew I was loved.
She brought me home a girlfriend,
she was fixed, or so we thought,
a few months & 6 kittens later
& still, I was loved.
We moved a few times,
I met new people & saw new places.
She was always there to comfort me
& I knew I was loved.
My human brothers drove me crazy
so loud & noisy.
But they rubbed & cuddled
& played with me
& I knew I was loved.
We met my Daddy 8 years ago
& we moved to his home.
Lots of space to run & chase
& I knew I was loved.
I started to slow down some,
getting older you know.
So they held me closer
& rubbed me more
& I knew I was loved.
I started a blog & met lots of cats
from all over this great big world.
I made lots of friends who cared for me
& I knew I was loved.
I got really sick last week
Momma took me to the vet.
Try this they said &
she tried so hard
& I knew I was loved.
Today I left my Momma
& she is so very sad.
I'm in a better place, she knows.
She helped me to get here,
held me close & hugged me tight
& I knew I was loved.
I was a good, good kitty
Momma told me so,
she asked Jesus to comfort me
& gave me up to Him,
& I knew I was loved.
I'm glad she did,
I'll wait here for her.
Till we're together again
I know that I am loved.
Oreo

Dood, I'm betting I get there before your Mom, so make sure you find all the good stuff--because I'm pretty sure there's all the Stinky Goodness a guy could want, and the BEST kitty crack--so you can show it to me when I get there. Oh, and gather up all our kitty friends who are already there for a wicked loud game of Thundering Herd of Elephants. We'll hear you down here, I'm sure of it.
You were definitely loved, dood, even by kitties and people who never met you fur to fur.
Well-loved your entire life... not only by your human mom, but by cats and people all over the world. Oreo, you had a great life.
Oreo, that was such a good poem. Yer Bein loved you so much. Now you just have to wait a while until the Bein joins you again...
Until then, there are more nice kitty friends tom play with then ya efer knew about. Play happily til the Bein shows up and all will be right again...
You are right Oreo ~ you were loved!

How very sweet.
Oreo always knew he was loved, from the minute you got him.
Oh that is a beautiful poem Momma Heather! Oreo knew he was loved from everyone who had ever known him!!
Here is our Tribute for him! http://jcfloresinc.blogspot.com/2009/04/till-we-meet-again-oreo.html
Your FL furiends,
There is never a good time to say good-bye to someone we love. A thousand years could go by...and...it's still never enough...never enough. I've held many a paw that had to leave me and with the passing a piece of my heart was torn and gone. Oreo, yes, knew he was love and he loved you. I truly believe with all my heart that if there is a Heaven, we will be met at the time of our death by all those we have loved and lost...animal, as well as human.
My deepest sorrow for your loss. I know the cold wind that blows through your soul.
Purrrs for Momma Heather! We were so sorry to hear of Oreo going to the Rainbow Bridge!! Thanks Oreo for starting the *NEW* Tuxedo Gang Hideout! We will remember you always!
Here is our Tribute to you!

"Lost love is still love... It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. Life has to end. Love doesn't."
What a handsome boy you are, Oreo. Hugs for you and your family. I know it's so very hard for your family to help you go to the bridge, but you will be together again.
Our mommy leaks still when she reads this. We get eye rain on us acuz she snuggles us. We are loved too. Our purrs and prayers go out to your family.
That is a lovely poem. Oreo, you were certainly very much loved, even by people who only knew you through your blog. I am going to miss you so much. My tribute to you is here: http://kittylimericks.blogspot.com/2009/04/farewell-oreo.html
you were very much loved Oreo - and as Karen Jo said you were also loved by lots of people you did not efur meet in person.
We will miss you lots and lots
He was lover by so many people. I wish we had known him better!
Oh, this is such a beautiful poem. So many of us have endured the same heartbreak. Oreo, you are such a sweet dear kitty and I know you are happily waiting for your beloved Mommy. Bless you both. You are in my thoughts today.
Gentle Hugs,
Lorianna and her 4 kitties and her special girl in Heaven
we will miss you Oreo ~The Fluffy Tribe
Well, I am sure that my brother Caesar was there to welcome you to the bridge, and Yes, Jesus is there too. He will comfort you and your mom and dad too.
This is the most wonderful poem, you were loved very much Oreo!
Now you are resting and we are purring for your mom and dad becuase they are the ones that are hurting, we know that pain very well. They are not alone, we are here.
Love and purrs always, Princess
I'm in tears right now...
I will miss you, Oreo. You were a very special feline with definite catitude. You were most certainly loved by both your family and the cat blogosphere.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time, Oreo's family. He was most certainly a beautiful, precious creature of God.
Came from Psychokitty:
You had a great life. Lots of kitties don't get that chance..especially those "free to good homes" kitties. You were one of the lucky ones.
Thank God your mama saw that ad and came and got you. And what a cutie you were.
Your mama is hurting right now but she'll be ok because she'll see you again one day. Then you'll get to hug and cuddle forever.
I am so happy that you like my tribute and limerick, Oreo and Heather. I changed the last line of the limerick, because it was so awkward. I am really glad that my reminding you of the post you found so funny prompted you to read it again and laugh again.
To be truly loved, and to truly love, that is one of the Lord's most precious gifts. That is all anyone can ask for in this life.

Sounds like Orea had the best time on this planet. I am so sorry for the loss of such a beloved pet. I know you must be devastated as my poor cat Bob was diagnosed with lymphoma last week and it felt like the world crashed around me. We love them so much but the great thing is, that they know theya re loved as your poem says. I bought my cat home after the vets adn he was purring in his sleep. I may only be giving him some quality of time for whatever time he has left but I know he is happy. I am so sorry for your loss.
till we meet again my friend
y2k

What a lovely poem. Oreo will always be loved and will send love from the Bridge. I am so, so sorry for your loss. I know how devastated you feel Heather. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} xxx

We're so very sorry - we just found out. We haven't been anywhere in the Cat Blogosphere for a long time. Such a lovely tribute - our eyes are all leaky.
Oreo, you were one of the firstest blogs I read. You were so cool, I even had a little crush on you (before my sweetie, of course), and mama and I love your mama Heather so much. We know you are happy, and united with a lot of other cool kitties that we miss. But we are going to send hugs and hugs to your mama, cause of the hole in her heart where you were, and hope that hole fills up with all the memories you had together, and she will smile when she sees the rainbows you send her until she reunites with you at last.
You certainly WERE loved, Oreo. That is a beautiful tribute. Your mum knows she gave you a great life.
Beautifully said! Oreo was loved. It's strange I found this now, at this particular moment, as a good friend's funeral is being held and I'm unable to be there with his widow and family.
I'm sure Oreo knew he was loved and I know you won't ever forget him.
Jan
oh Oreo, i'm so sad you've left us. i know you're in a wonderful place. but you were one of my first bloggin' buddies and i learned so much from you. enjoy the sun and i'm glad you don't hurt anymore
I am so sorry for your loss! I am so shocked right now. I have been outta the blogosphere loop for so long now. I was over at Kintaro's site looking at their new kitten and saw her post for Oreo. RIP sweet Oreo. You will be missed.
Hugs,
Emma's mom
What a wonderful thing for a kitty to know so much love during their life!
Sweet Oreo, rest and play and run and pounce and wait for your family until they join you at the Bridge.
Charlemagne and Tamar
He was love and still is. That kind of love never dies. We'll miss you so much Oreo!
Angel & Taz's Mama
I am so sorry that you lost your precious little Oreo. I so enjoyed coming by and reading his blog posts. I haven't been around here in a while and I came by today and saw the sad news. I hope that you can find some comfort knowing that he is at peace now. You were a wonderful cat mommy and gave him lots of love and a great life.
Just stopped by to wish you peace and joy as you remember Oreo.
I just had to stop by and say that I will miss Oreo so much! I read his blog for a few years and felt I knew him a bit. God bless you! I am sure we will see our beloved pets in Heaven!
Oreo: I'm sorry I missed knowing you. I love the poem.
You are indeed loved.

Psalms 50:15
we were just thinking of you and your mommy and wanted to come by and purrrrrrs
Oreo, you ARE loved, not only by your momma, but by people like me who don't blog, only read them. You brought me much joy. Fank you. I just know you're at the Rainbow Bridge. I have a couple kids up there ... Ollie, the longest, leanest cat I've ever seen. He loved me to pieces, hated my husband. My first born, Orphan, she's up there, she was 24 when she went over. She will take good care of you, she always did like the boys. And my Winnie, my black lab who was afraid of water and who loved the ducks in our backyard. He will watch over you and take very good care of you. He loved his kitties. Oreo, you brought much joy to a lot of people and we love you. Fanks for the memories. And to your Mom, what a beautiful poem to a wondrous kitty.
hy.. oreo.. thats so cool bro..heehee
I like your blog...
We are going through our links and it was so sad to come by here and see the blog untouched and "empty." We know you are still missing Oreo.

Oreo's Mom,
My mom & I have been checking you blog for a long, long time. We didn't see any updates and we got a new computer and our "favorites" didn't transfer over. Today my mom was on the old computer and saw this beautiful but very sad poem. We are sorry that Oreo has left for the Bridge. Your tribute to him was very heartfelt. Those it has been awhile now, we hope that you're ok.
Pedro

We came to tell you we are thinking about you at the Bridge and that we hope you are having the most wonderful time there with all your friends, old and new. We will meet again one day.
Purrs to your mom Heather from us.
pee-ess
We never saw your tribute the first time around as we had just got locked up for our Beans to go on holiday.
It is the most beautiful poem and gave us all leaky eyes.
It's Oreo's birthday and I have been thinking of him and you, Heather. I hope that you are doing OK.
We're still thinkin' of you Oreo. Hope you're enjoyin' your time at the bridge.
This show used to be good, very personal, sometimes a bit melodramatic, but always filled with strong characters and interesting story arcs. happy death day full However, ever since the Negan plot started, this has changed. Built up as a super villain who radiates domination, he instead turned out to be a harmless rocker who switches between "nice uncle from next door" to "bat swinging psycho killer" whenever the script demands it.
Negan was supposed to surpass the Governour in terms of cruelty and malice, but in my opinion he doesn't even get close. The Governour had charisma, style, and above all, a real reason for all his experiments; his daughter. We still don't know why or how Negan came to be. the devil's candy release date Season 6 was full of chest-pounding and inevitably doomed plotting by the heroes, but it was still fun to watch them descend into mass murder. Especially Carol had incredibly intense moments. watch Avengers Infinity War online Season 7, after the reveal of Negan, turned out to be a super slow recuperation with the nice uncle coming over for spaghetti. They tried to show how he controls his people with rules and by burning them and so on, but overall it was a super tame story with "Soon(TM)" all over it.
Instead of fixing that in season 8, they now bury the show in one action episode after another. And its not the somewhat smart action we saw in earlier seasons, but 80's style A-Team nonsense action. Cars are bullet sponges, ammo is thrown around like its World War II, a .50 caliber machine gun mows down 50 people with ease but can't hit one dude in a Jeep, and there is no stopping to all the shooting. Even when people are having a quiet moment to talk, you hear often hear shooting in the background. Happy death day 2017 We rarely have those epic Daryl moments anymore, Rick has become a a hollow shell of a leader, Carl seems to be on vacation. Several other iconic characters were lost and have been replaced with cardboard gunmen.
The Walking Dead needs to stop playing World War Z, cease its nation building, and return to what made it great. Everyday survival by interesting characters in a hostile world.
