name that cat: #1
OK, we're gonna have us a contest!
But seriously, folks, this is becoming untenable. Of the five kittens, only two have names -- Bootsie (the black and white one previously known as Bitey -- there's a name that'll get you adopted real quick) and Inky (the tiny black one).
So here's name-needing cat number one -- literally. At a loss for how to address the little chap and his two equally nameless siblings, I have fallen into calling them Number One, Number Two, and Little Girl Cat. This clearly will not do. It demoralizes the little creatures and, from my standpoint, makes shouting at them when they climb the curtains much more difficult.
Your job is to suggest names in the comments to this post. There is, alas, no prize (except the knowledge that you have made a little kitten happy).
By way of guidance, Number One is a male kitten (at 16 weeks perhaps pushing the envelope of "kitten"), is nicely done up in a lovely gray-and-white-striped coat with white bib and paws, and appears to be wearing eye-liner. Go figure. Another view of the candidate may be found here.
Most of the other animals around here conform to the Cutesy Pet Naming Convention of 1913, i.e., have names ending in an "ee" sound (Brownie, Pokey, Sparky, Fifi, Harry, Phoebe, Kiki, Fuzzy, Bootsie and Inky). Then there's Gus. But it would be nice if Number One had an "ee" name too.
