firecatOur new cat arrived and is on her way to making herself at home. She is still too skittish for me to make really good photos of her, but here are a few that turned out OK.
She took to the local "kitty condo" right away. You probably can't tell, but she has blue eyes.
She is spending lots of time looking out the window.
Here she is using one of her scratching posts. (Good kitty!)
I got her from a friend of mine who adopted her from the animal shelter we both volunteer at, but she couldn't keep her because her husband's cat allergy got a lot worse recently. My friend named her Tillie, after the "air plant," Tillandsia, because when she first arrived, she didn't eat much. But now, as you can see, she eats a lot. So we're going to rename her. We haven't come up with any names we're thrilled with. (I'm calling her "Hello Hello," but I expect the OH won't let me get away with that. :-) Suggestions are welcome!

We kept "DJ," even though it no longer means the "Danielle Junior" it did when she came to us. :)

As for suggestions, I'm vaguely confused as to why "Tillie" can't stand alone.

Date: 2 Sep 2003 11:19 am (UTC)Gorgeous kitty!
My cat's name isn't actually what I tend to call him. Of course, I also tend to be bad at naming things (he already had a name). So, I'm not going to even suggest anything, because anything I suggest is going to be silly, and not a serious suggestion! :)
the kitty is beautiful! and i am a pendantic!
Date: 2 Sep 2003 11:35 am (UTC)my spanish-english pocket dictionary from Collins says that the spanish word for "dragon" is "dragòn".

Re: new cat!
Date: 2 Sep 2003 01:43 pm (UTC)i usually go with "catface" or something like that until the cat names zirself, so i am not gonna be much help with the naming. except that i don't like "tillie" at all for her, and i think "hello hello" rocks. :)
*stares at the pictures for a while, pondering*.
maybe i'd name her "chiaroscuro" if she were ok with that.
no subject
Date: 2 Sep 2003 03:23 pm (UTC)You could always name her "Miao", so that she could introduce herself...*grin*
Of course, that'll probably backfire. When I was about six, I was gifted with a cockatiel that we named "Ima Bird", so that when he learned to speak, people would ask his name and he'd say "Ima bird". Except that he was the strong silent type and never said a word.
He could whistle the theme song to Good Morning America and the very beginning of "Can't Smile Without You". :)
