The Sheriff

Meet Sheriff Oreo: my cat, and the reason this GitHub account is called @SheriffOreo. Her title began with a particular kind of police work. She chirps at flies in my apartment and tries to arrest them in mid-air; the handle followed naturally.

Oreo is a mixed Abyssinian: sweet, affectionate, and unusually fond of people. She plays fetch with the commitment of a dog, though she does not share a dog's enthusiasm for dogs. Her territory extends beyond home to my CyLab office, with occasional supervised expeditions into the outdoors.
