| thedougsite Vivvy & Mellow Christmas, 2011 |
| There’s a ritual that occurs
every weekday morning at our place. Just before 8 AM Mellow, the
cat, is on her stool anxiously gazing out the kitchen window.
Then a red van pulls up and her tail starts twitching and she makes a
weird, distinct meowing sound. This signals the arrival of her
friend and play-mate, Vivienne. The van door slides open and a
beautiful little girl emerges. She runs up the side walk
exclaiming M-E-L-L-O-W! So begins another day in the relationship of a little girl and her feline friend, actually Vivienne calls Mellow her “best friend”. Sometimes it’s almost like a sibling rivalry when one or the other “doesn’t play right”! Never the less throughout the day they find a variety of ways to entertain and antagonize each other. There is a never ending series of contests and games which neither seems to win but I think that is part of the equation. Of course no partnership is perfect and occasionally there are claims of a pulled tail or a nipped finger. These dust-ups usually end pretty quickly and they are on to a new adventure. After lunch at noon it is nighty-night time and a well deserved rest (for Papa too!) We take Vivvy practically everywhere when we are shopping etc, and she always wants to take her pal in the carrier. That doesn’t happen much except when Carol goes to see aunt Mabel. I gather that the pair of them are quite a hit. Anyways the two of them provide us with live entertainment and a lot of laughs. We have a very morose cat on our hands during the week-end. I’ve sent along a picture of the two. Al (a.k.a. Papa)
