Help Me Name My New Cat!

[Kevin Hendrick]

The two names for cats I've always thought appropriate are

Bob (Bob Cat)

Xerox (the copy Cat)

Hmmm ... Ali would work, also (Ali Cat) ...

[windshieldbug]

Those of us of a certain age would also favor

Fritz the Cat

[pg]

We named our cat Miss Chiff.

Nobody has mentioned my favorite-Pussy Galore

Sou

[Dan Schultz]

Fritz the Cat

Yeah! Wasn't THAT fun?!

[timdicarlo]

Archibald. Good intelligent name. Just hope that last syllable doesn't apply...

[averagejoe]

pick your favorite color, or the color of the cat. Then find the word for that in another language.

My cat is Mo Vaughn. You can guess how old he is. (hint- Red Sox fan)

That'd work for a bovine pet, too (you'd have to add an "o", but that's all).

If she is lazy, Adagio,

Or a cat that you really do not want. Moo Vaughn. Get it?

Here's our Kitten, whom we've named Roxanne (Roxy).

This picture was taken about an hour after we got her home. She climbed right up into my lap and just sat there for a few minutes. Late last night, she curled up and fell asleep in my lap. She's is a very sweet, friendly kitten, with a nasty cold right now that's affecting her eyes. The poor thing has been sleeping pretty much all day as she fights this cold off. Hopefully she'll be better soon and more playful!

Sure hope so -- congratulations!

Congrats on the cat. We have 2 females: one is a 10 yr old named Cohutta (named after the town we found her in) and Bellatrix (Bella for short, from Harry Potter).

Cats - a thinkin' man's dog.

We've had our cat for over a week now and although she is a wonderful, sweet cat, it has not been a great week for her.

Her cold had been affecting her eyes, and we were giving her a regimen of eye ointments as well as drops, as prescribed by the Vet. Unfortunately, We came home from work Thursday to find her right eye bulged out and cloudy looking. We brought her to the vet that night, and she told us Roxy's eye had ruptured, and would never be sighted again. Once she gets over the cold, the vet said she may need surgery to remove the eye completely, unless it scars down.

She gave us another eye ointment, and some different drops to give her, because her left eye still was very red. We woke up Friday morning to find the left eye looking similar to the right, though not as bulged. We brought her in again, and our fears were confirmed--during the night, she scratched at her left eye, and damaged it. She now has a cone around her neck, so she can't get at her eyes. We're hoping that she heals well enough to not need surgery, and according to the vet she may still have some vision when she gets better (she might see shadows, or detect motion). For now that, the poor thing is completely in the dark. It is very sad, especially because she is such a sweet, affectionate cat.

Thanks, Wade. The good news is that she is adjusting. She is still using her box (though she had an accident yesterday while we were at a wedding, she got herself in a corner of the room behind a chair, and couldn't get out...so the poor thing ended up pooping on the rug!), and she's eating like a horse (9 oz. of wet food today, for a six month old cat who only weighs about 5 lbs.). I think she's starting to adjust, we'll see in the coming weeks.

Well, by now you know that respiratory infections are very serious for cats, not simple like for humans.

I'm glad she has you because if she were still in the shelter she would have been put down. She will adjust to not being sighted if you don't move the furniture; if her nose and ears still work she can find her way around.

And yes, feral cats do understand that they are being cared for and are very grateful.

When I got my Pepper 17 years ago (and she is still going strong) she fit in the palm of my hand. First thing she did when I got her home was get in the garbage can! It took a while to get her on kitten food but then she ate an amazing amount; her sides were distended and she waddled after she ate. The vet said to feed her as much as she would eat. Even now she is a small cat at six pounds, but she still takes turns through the house at Warp 12 and does backflips on the couch when she's feeling frisky.

Cats...you either love them or you don't, and I love them.
