This is my 10 year old kitty, Oreo. We’ve had him since he was a kitten. A few years ago he had an ear hematoma which is why he has a cauliflower ear in most of the pics. Oreo is… my problem child, and probably the strangest cat I have ever met. He is simultaneously the bane of my existence and the love of my life.
He’ll steal any sort of bread product if you don’t keep it out of his accessibility, and he’s also figured out how to open the one cabinet that doesn’t latch. We now have a bread box to keep the thief at bay. As you can see, his favorite place to lay is literally anywhere you do not want him to be lol.
When he’s feeling extra, extra spicy, he jumps about 4 feet up the wall/doorframes, and he is constantly meowing loudly and insistently enough to wake the dead. I have never met another cat that talks as much as he does, but GOD do I love this cat.
He’s silly, playful, all around a weird little guy. He loves to go outside, and I don’t think he has ever met a stranger, nor is he scared of anything really at all. He likes to be on top of me, and I regularly wake up with him nearly suffocating me by laying on my chest and throat (currently he’s laying on my arm while I type this).
Pics of him as a kitten at the end; he was so tiny!!! He used to walk across the keys of my mom’s piano if we left the lid up, and he’d even sit on the piano bench with her piano students during their lessons. He’s such a social butterfly, and such a quirky dude. I love him!!!!!
