Vinnie, I changed his spelling to Vinny, was going to be left out in a field at only 6 months old by someone who didn't want him anymore. I chose to bring him home, instead. I was told his name came from Vinnie Barberino. (Is that a Travolta movie?) He was a beautiful cat. He was trained like a dog, really! Vinny died a year ago at the age of 12 of cancer, we miss him.
