Say hello to Queen Eva.

I met Queen Eva for the first time four weeks ago when she was about four weeks old and very very tiny. The place she was at had named her "Lucky" (because she is polydactyl) but that is not her name, though she can indeed be considered lucky, to have some luck I mean, since she is in her furever home with me, Tolly Mazy and Jennie.

She can't get any luckier than that!

When our eyes met that first time, we bonded instantly and she told me her name is Eva.

While she was not being abused, she was not being very well cared for and I longed to take her home. I saw her briefly two other times and she just wasn't thriving. It was clear they didn't understand her and called her stand-offish, unfriendly and "hates to be held or touched".

Well my dream came true and I picked her up early yesterday morning. It was a long drive, and she pooped in the carrier, and vomited, but we both survived it. We were hardly out of the driveway of that house before she informed me haughtily that she is QUEEN Eva, not just Eva.

Now Queen Eva has been here since 9:15 this morning, and she is sweet, affectionate, loving, friendly, talky, I am just hopelessly in love with her. Imagine, those people said she is unfriendly and mean! Well she was to them I guess because they weren't ME.

Here's my new little girl.

Awww Queen Eva is absolutely gorgeous, I love black kitties. She obviously wasn't happy where she was and she looks as though she is very settled already with you.xx

Awww just look at that face,i bet yours is just grinning from ear to ear and i can't says as i would blame you,smiling myself looking at her,congratulations

Aww, she is beautiful - I have a black boy, and couldn't love him more. Good luck with the fleas and the introduction - but lucky Queen Eva, and lucky you!

Aw, beautiful Eva!! Yay for black kitties!!!

Oh my gosh, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Both to you, AND to Queen Eva, who is a very lucky girl, and could not have ended up with a better mama. It gives me such a "warm-fuzzy" feeling to know that you're giving this little gal her very own happily-ever-after.

And of course, I must add that she is utterly gorgeous! I expect lots of pics!!!

Awww, I am so incredibly happy for both you and the beautiful Queen Eva!!! Welcome to your forever home little sweetheart!

What a sweet little face Queen Eva has!! No wonder you bonded with her instantly! So glad she's got you to love her. She obviously knew a good thing when she saw it! Can't wait to see more pics of her loveliness!

Thank you! I have never had a black cat before. I've had sweet black and white tuxedo kitties but never "all" black. She isn't all black though, she has a white crescent on her lower abdomen..some white threads on the tip of her tail, and a few white threads on her chest

I believe those white hairs are called Angel Kisses. Do you know the story behind that?

Aww, little Eva is so adorable! Congrats on taking her into your loving home. I hope she gets along with your other babies ok. How are they taking to the new addition so far?

Queen Eva is gorgeous. YAY for beautiful black cats. And, it's clear that she knew you were her human from the first time she met you. Thank you for taking her in!

Thank you! It's the strangest thing, the cats have shown absolutely no curiosity at all. None. They know she's in there of course, but apparently it's perfectly normal.

Thank you! I love her so much.

She had an eventful day, spent at the vet. SNAP test, first distemper booster, a Capstar and a Droncit. She has flea tapeworms and roundworms. I am to start her on the Revolution tomorrow if she seems well enough, or wait until Wednesday if she is still under the weather from all the meds and shot today.

She's worn out tonight, but since the fleas are all gone now from the capstar I gave her a stuffed animal to curl up with.

Oh! FeLV/FIV negative.

She is so sweet. She curls up on my lap and gazes soulfully and adoringly into my eyes and reaches up to pat my face.

The comment about how she loves you plus the pic of her curled up with her bunny brought a tear to my eye. So sweet.
