Cat Names: Updated

Cat names? Does anyone know any good names for a little cat?

This kitten's mother was a stray cat that my father befriended and fed. It turns out that the cat was pregnant, and she had her kittens under our porch. Now her brothers and her mother have skipped town. We figured out this kitten was a girl and then on this past Thursday we caught her and took her to the vet to be neutered so she wouldn't share the fate of her mother. She's so friendly, she's definitely not a feral cat, so we've decided to adopt her. After much heated debate, though, we cannot figure out a name. The top picks are Kara (my favorite), Lucy, Lizzie, Michelle, and Julie (not to mention Kit, but a cat CANNOT be named Kit)--we can't come to an agreement. My mother read off a hundred names and someone had an objection to every one.

She's kind of dopey and very playful. Thus far she's been very cautious around the older, fuzzier, duplicitous, Machiavellian Molly, Cat of Cats, whose monstrous tail is in the upper right hand corner. The kitten cries a lot when we go to bed and put her in a (huge) cage--a crybaby for sure.

Yea Kit is an awkward name, it translates to "Baby Rabbit" Just thought you should know

Did you ever decide on a name for the cat?

The Monk said...

Yes, we did. "Kit" is now her name--much to my chagrin. Tomorrow (I promise!) I will post some pictures.
