    Smile new fur ball - or Name that Kitty!

    Today I brought home the newest member of the family, via adoption.

    She's 10 months old, tortoise shell, has had very good Vet care, but her previous owner could no longer keep her. Currently living in the guest bedroom for a couple of days, the photo is the underneath of the bed. I haven't introduced her to the housemates - cats Bonnie and Herald, and dog, Nala. Her previous name was "Beauty" but I want to give her a new name. She has golden eyes, that were always closed when I tried to take a photo. Hopefully she'll like her new home.

    she looks very much like my & my Mom's kitty "Sadie"

    we loved her so much!!! she was soooo sweet and loving...but when we got her she had feline leukemia. We cared for her as she were going to live forever and loved her till the day she walked the bridge...I often think of her! and want my next kitty (haha...if my hubby ever miraculously overcomes cat allergies) to be just like sweet Sadie


    in otherwords...

    When I was little, I used to call torties "plaidcats" because that's what they looked like to me. She's lovely, your new cat.

    I think she's peeking but doesn't want you to know.

    My niece named her daughter Sadie a few months ago. That's the second little girl named Sadie I've met recently. I had a dog named Sadie when I was a kid and my friend has a dog named Sadie and my son has a cat named Sadie.

    It's a good name for a cat--a little girl, not so much. ;/

    Oooooh, she's beautiful!!!

    This household isn't much help in the name department though. The two feline residents that have been here the longest had names when we adopted them. The deaf, epileptic adoptee before that was named Cauliflower by the girls. Yeah, that got a few odd looks! We just adopted two new additions to the menagerie -- a grey-and-white 6-month-old male for my husband's office (named Xero after my bike wheels) and a 14-week-old male grey tiger for the house (he's a non-stop, furry hellion so DH and I voted for Zipp -- as in Zipp wheels -- but we were vetoed by the girls, who chose Picasso because he certainly doesn't follow the norm for behavior). Now if they could all just get along...
