    Default Help name our new fur baby..

    We just adopted a new little kitten this morning. I don't have a picture yet..will post as soon as I can get him to hold still long enough.
    The SPCA mobile unit came to a local Kroger lot with dogs and kittens . When I got there all but the one kitten had been adopted. He's about 8 weeks old, solid black with about a dozen white hairs on his chest.
    He's already made himself at home. Sam took to him right away and keeps wanting to play with him but just getting ignored.
    Our 2 adult cats aren't liking it too much. Just keeping a distance and hissing and growling. I keep reassuring them they're still top kitties here.
    I put him up where their food dishes are and he couldn't decide between the canned or hard food. Never had a choice before probably. Ate till his little tummy filled up then I put him down by the communal water dish.
    Hubby wasn't too happy about it.. said we're too old for another cat..{65 and 71 this yr.}. I ignored him.
    He knew I had my mind made up. I've been wanting a loveable cat that will let me hold him[or her].
    Don't know how loveable it will be, but at least lets me hold him.
    So, any ideas for names?

    I had a little boy cat named Sampson. Sometimes we called him Blackie. Seems like all my cats through the years had two names - a human name and a nick-name.
    There was George-a.k.a. Panther (sleek and stealthy); and there is now Anna - a.k.a. Gabby (Very talkative)

    The little black kitten is lucky to have you and your loving home. Enjoy!

    Since you'd like him be a cuddly cat, what about Cuddles or Snuggly?

    Maybe C A T. We named one of out dogs D O G. Spell it out instead of just saying the work cat.

    well I took in a mama cat and her two kittens. somewhat feral. I named the larger kitten Buddy after calling him Brother a lot since I called the much smaller kitten, Sister. turned out Buddy was a Buddie-Rose. A girl. But Buddy would be good for a "real" boy kitten. Otherwise, Oliver, Rudy, so many others I can't think of now.
