WASHINGTON — Second lady Karen Pence took to Twitter Saturday to share the news that one of the family's beloved cats has died.

Pence wrote, "Rest in peace Oreo. You touched a lot of hearts in your little life. Our family will miss you very much."

The tweet includes photos of the black-and-white cat, including a picture of Vice President Mike Pence in a tuxedo holding Oreo.

The Pences moved their pet cats and rabbit to Washington in January.

In October, the Pences said goodbye to their 13-year-old beagle, Maverick.
