New Kittens - Everyone Say "Oooohhh"

Baby kittens are so hard to resist, at least for most of us. As many of you know, we lost our beloved 14-year-old "Titch" to neighbor pit bulls back in February. We finally decided it was time to venture into new kitten land, so here they are.

Making their debut are "Wicket" and her yet unnamed adopted sister. Both females, same age, different litters.

I'm taking ideas for names, so feel free to offer one up. I'm leaning towards "Daisy" because it's my favorite flower, but it may be a bit too feminine for my taste. Generally, our pets have British names so I'm still pondering some of those also.

Enjoy!!

    Or, since you already have Wicket, why not Cricket? :D

    Randy - Clever idea, but I'd end up saying "yuck" too often! rolleyes1.gif

    Llywellyn - I suggested "Cricket" but my husband vetoed. I also suggested "Sticky" for "sticky wicket" but he didn't like that one either.

    I have settled on "Abbey" because Fountains Abbey is my favorite place in the whole of the UK!

    Name it C.R. When someone asks what the initials mean, you point to the furmonster and ask, "See our cat?"

    So cute, yes! Kittens = automatic cuteness.

    I had a friend in college with a cat named Fnulnu, pronounced "fuh-new-luh-new." Her dad worked for the DEA and it stands for "first name unknown, last name unknown" like a John Doe.

    I like the T. S. Eliot direction; there's Rumpleteaser, Skimbleshanks, and my favorite, Pouncival.

    I'm glad you're able to take that next step!

    Can't wait to see more pictures.
    Please ignore my opinions! And if I ask for constructive criticism, please give it to me. I have really thick skin! :huh

    I would call her Dolly - has a cricket meaning and is a cute girl name. But Abbey is nice too!

    How cute are these babies iloveyou.gif
    Naming pets for me was not easy either.
    The one I have now whom I affectionately call Miss Kitty is a real little princess, I call her lots of names, she actually answers to anthing rolleyes1.gif

    What I love about owning Miss Kitty is that she needs me and I need her.

    May you and your family have years and years of joy owning these two new kittens... wishing you all the Best thumb.gif ..... Skippy :D

    Skippy - thanks for the good wishes! I remember "Miss Kitty" from the old Gunsmoke tv show--she was a feisty redhead! rolleyes1.gif

    Everyone - thanks for all the suggested names. I told the kitten I would call her "Abbey" and she didn't object, so I guess she thinks it's ok. headscratch.gif Well, maybe not . . . all she did was run after the other kitten, "Wicket."

    It's been a long time since I have laughed so hard . . . these little fur balls look like tv wrestlers the way they pounce and roll. They do more somersaults than the Olympic team!

    I'll post more pics later today. . . when I stop laughing. rolleyes1.gifwings.gifclap.gifiloveyou.gifiloveyou.gifiloveyou.gif

    Waaaaay too cute, as for a name - our eldest is called C-Fer (C fer Cat).

    You could always go for the 'cockney' favourite - cooking fat. . . . think about it lol.

    Congrats on the new family
