This is our sweet little boy, Vincent Price - Vinny for everyday use. We named him after beloved character actor Vincent Price, because, well, he's a black cat and Mr. Price was often spooky. This candid shot in our family room seemed perfect for Halloween. Vinny is seven months old, and was rescued from our animal shelter. He gets great care, since his human "brother" and human "granddad" are both veterinarians. Vinny is very much a Daddy's boy, as he sits in Daddy's lap when he comes home for lunch, and naps on him in the easy chair on lazy weekend afternoons. But he very much loves to cuddle with his Mommy, too. He does need a lot of rest, because when he is not snoozing in a lap, he is very mischievous. And smart. He can open the kitchen cabinets, so we had to get baby locks. He can hang from the refrigerator ice-maker with one paw, while pushing the ice lever with the other. He loves to play "kitchen hockey." And never leave a credit card lying around. He loves to hide them. Maybe he's trying to figure out how to buy toys on the web?
He loves his "squeaky mouse" and his "chirpy cricket." And ANY box, no matter how big or small. He's not much for catnip, though. He plays tricks on his eight-month-old adopted tortoiseshell sister, Trixie, too. We often say Vinny is the "Eddie Haskell" of our family, after the naughty young man on "Leave It To Beaver. We love him and his step-sister so much. But don't wait on Christmas pictures. We don't plan on putting up a Christmas Tree this year. It would not last 5 minutes with this little boy working it over!
