It's often said that dogs are a man's best friend, but the same is almost never said of cats. They are truly underrated and underappreciated beings--flawlessly elegant in appearance, fluidly sinuous in movement, and upright in both posture and character. And when you get to know them, their characteristic aloofness and seemingly constant somnolence become all the more endearing. Oreo has been a part of my family for seven years, and not a day goes by when I don't feel thankful that she is, and will always be, one of us.
