Frank says, "If my name is Frank why do you keep calling me Little Fellah?"
Ummmm..
"Look, either I'm Frank or Fellah. It's not rocket science... jeez and I thought humans were supposed to be smart. In fact I'm not sure I like either of them"
Well what do you prefer?
"I don't know do I? I'm a kitten for goodness sake; I don't have the capacity for rational thought. Do you always talk to yourself?"
Missy says, "I don't think my name suits me either and when I heard Dad say it sounded like the name an old lady would give to her silly handbag dog well... I was quite offended.
He didn't think you were listening.
"Well of course I wasn't. I'm a kitten for goodness sake, I don't understand the nuances of the English language, I can barely understand the word 'No'. Sheesh, I thought you humans were intelligent."
*sigh* back to the drawing board.
When when when we have a live-baby-in-our-arms I hope it doesn't take this long to name him or her. We didn't have a name picked out for George, lots of possibilities but no name, well we had plenty of time... When I cried for our tiny dead baby to have a name, Ray chose. And he chose well.
My kitties would like to recommend "Sam" and "Sasha" for excellent feline names ;)
ReplyDeleteFrom the behavior displayed in the photos very suitable names would be "Sleepy Snugglebug One" and "Sleep Snugglebug Two"
Cats are damn smart - don't be fooled! In fact one day I think they might take over the world - they have us humans sussed out for sure. Sheesh they are cute though....
ReplyDeleteI like Fellah, hmm, she looks like a Sheba. Our cat is named Abigail, she has alot of nicknames, Abby Dabby, Princess Buttonface, Butter.
ReplyDeleteWell - if you get an abundance of ideas...send your overflow my way. I'm stumped - need five names....aargh - and don't want them resenting us - no way!
ReplyDeleteOh Barb, they are just such cuties! While I like human names for pets, we have two cats called Mars and Saturday. Mars is after the bar I met my husband in (trashy, I know), which was called Mars Lounge.
ReplyDeleteSaturday is because everybody loves Saturday, and this is so true of my furry baby. Take your time, you'll find the right thing.
I think that Alfonze and Freda would suit them down to the ground. I am prepared to be shot down with that suggestion. I think that naming a pet is a very personal thing.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite cats of the past had names of;
Tilly (female very good mouser, known to catch baby bunnies and would take on a dog if it set foot on the property)
Bill (not male I found out after at least 5 years, loved a chat in "Cat" of course)
Echo (tri-colour tortie, a real scaredy cat, always thinking there was something behind her).
From the Hairy McLary and Catflaps series;
Scarface Claw
Slinky Malinki
Mushroom MacGee
Pimpernell Pugh
I think George is a beautiful name. Well chosen indeed.
ReplyDeleteI also love the name George.
