Arrival Story: Like most cats that read the big welcome sign in the front yard, Vivien was hanging out in the woods surrounding our home. She made her way on the front porch where she was fed. After asking throughout the neighborhood, it was determined she was a stray - luckily she had been spayed by a previous owner. When it started getting cold, she spent nights in the garage which led to the laundry room which led to the house. Many attempts were made to find her a loving forever home, and it looks like she found one all by herself!

Bio: Vivien is a wonderfully sweet kitty, and unfortunately she is very shy and feels intimidated around our other cats. After Sugar journeyed to the bridge, Vivien was able to become the "downstairs" kitty and have her own living space. When we knew we were moving to Arizona, we were concerned that Vivien would not do well because of the layout of the house. I didn't feel it was in her best interest to be locked in a bedroom the rest of her life. It was a very painful decision, but in her best interest, we were able to find a new, loving home for her. She is now the only cat and gets the undivided attention of her new Daddy (who is the brother of a very good friend of mine). She quickly adjusted to life in a new home, and sleeps with her Daddy every night. She even has a dog brother and is doing okay with that! We will love you forever, Vivien!

Hey friends! I hope you're having a pawsome summer. Mawmee just got an update on me, and I knew my Catster friends would want to hear about it.
Guess what? My name is now Blackie! My new Daddy let his great niece give me a new name, and she thought Blackie would be purrfect! She is only about 4 years old, so she doesn't know anything about Vivien Leigh for whom I was originally named. So I think I'll officially be Blackie Vivien!
Here is what else I've been up to:
Blackie is a spoiled rotten little diva!!!! And quite a talker as well. She tolerates Buddy, but seems to follow him everywhere. She's always checking to see what he's up to. She rides around in her Daddy's wheelchair and jumps at the window just to tease the birds. The kids adore her and she is much loved.
If you cats will remember, Buddy is the big 'ole stinky dog that lives with me! I knew it wouldn't be long before I was the Diva and running the house!
Stay cool, and keep me in your purrs that I continue to do well in my home!

Several of you have asked Mawmee how I am doing. She was almost afraid to ask her friend because she didn't want to hear any bad news.
But it is all good news to report. Mawmee asked her girlfriend how I was doing. My new Daddy is the brother of Mawmee's girlfriend.
Here is what she had to say:
All good! She is stuck to Marvin like glue! Loves bird watching, has her own chair in the window, healthy and happy. Warming up to others, but skitish when company comes. Ignores Buddy, but he loves her and wants to lay down next to her all the time. No worries! She is the queen of the house!
Buddy is my doggie brother. He is huge! I was really scared of him when I first came to my new house, but he is okay for a doggie.
Thanks for asking about me. I know Mawmee is relieved that I'm doing okay. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with your family - it will be my first Christmas with my new family!

Last night Mawmee had dinner with my new Daddy M.'s sister. They went to high school together which means they have been friends a really long time!
She said that I'm doing really good, and that when Daddy M.'s other sister came to visit, I came running out to see her. I probably thought it was Mawmee! I was glad to hear a female voice because there is a lot of testosterone in this house! I talked and talked to her and was very friendly.
Daddy M.'s brother who lives with us gets upset because he likes cats but I don't run up to see him. I'll tell you why - he owns that big, ginormous dog! Mawmee's friend told her that he comes downstairs in the morning and starts yelling, Vivien, Vivien, and that is when I run to my room! Mawmee's friend said he needs to be quieter and maybe I'll come to him. MOL!
She said I've come out to the family room when the big dog was sleeping, so I'm making a little progress. It made Mawmee cry a little, but they were happy tears because she knows I'm going to be okay!
