the story of veronica

Veronica: The ancient Macedonian name for "She who brings victory." It was a popular name amongst reigning dynasties of Alexander the Great's era.

Veronica here is the queen. Her regal coat is shiny and full, multicolored with distinctive spots and stripes. Her tail is long and swanky. She runs the show.

Mme. Veronica

She's earned her stripes as the temptress-alpha-kitty around the house. She's engaging and confident, has a swagger fitting of Manhattan. She knows how to get attention.

These two are much bigger these days, but they've had each others' backs since day one. That's the way it goes in the West Village. You watch out for your own.

These lovely ladies have been through a lot together. Hurricane Sandy turned a lot of lives upside down, and these kitties had their fair share of struggles. All in their world is well now, thank the stars. And they're both wiser and stronger for it.

It should be said that Veronica is just as sweet as she is street. And sewing her was a treat: making veronica.
