I'm back... with a NAME THAT KITTY thread!!!!!

[belladonna]

Not that anyone noticed, but I've been gone for awhile. Slowly my life is calming down and when I became stumped as to what to name my new kitten that I seem to have inherited from my son, who else would I think of but the cat lovers in the DU Lounge? :D

The poor baby was abandoned and half starved. Still very skinny and malnourished, but I'm seeing improvements every day. This picture is pre-bath, she looks MUCH better now, but she still has a way to go.

Now, help me name my kitty... I'm completely at a loss and just can't seem to come up with anything that fits.

[aquart]

Oprah. Because she's paid her dues.

Perdita. The lost one.

Virginia Slim. Because she's lite and addictive.

Scarlett. Because she'll never be hungry again.

[benito]

1. male or female?

Barak?

[belladonna]

2. Female

But if it were a boy, I'd definitely consider your suggestion

[CatWoman]

I thought Male was a boy was I got her :D

Your kitten looks like a Patience. :D

4. Mowgli !!

Like from the Jungle Book!

My kid wants to name our future cat "Kitty".

:(

[belladonna]

Mowgli would be good for a boy

But I got a girl here... and I'm afraid she's gonna think HER name is kitty if I don't figure something out soon

41. A kitten joke:

George Bush is taking a stroll around Capitol Hill with a senior member of Congress when he meets a little girl carrying a small basket with a blanket over it. Curious, he says to the girl, "What's in the basket?"

She replies, "New baby kittens," and opens the basket to show him.

"How nice," said Bush. "What kind are they?"

The little girl says, "Republicans."

Bush smiles and pats the little girl on the head and they continue on.

About three weeks later, he and another Congressional colleague are again strolling around Capitol Hill, when he sees the little girl, again with the same basket. Bush says to his colleague, "Watch this, it's very cute," and they approach the little girl.

Bush asks the girl how the kittens are, and she says fine. He then says, "What kind of kittens are they?" and she replies, "Democrats."

Somewhat abashed, Bush says, "Three weeks ago, you said they were
Republicans!"

"I know," she says, "but now their eyes are open."
