new fur ball - or Name that Kitty!
To disable ads, please log-in.
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.Beth

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...
SADIEI am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.

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. ;/

Congratulations!
After staring at her for awhile, to me - she looks like a:
Calypso - you could call her Callie for short. This would not only be in homage to New Orleans/Lousiana...because calypso music is originally Caribbean and it is the Caribbean culture and people that share the foundational ties to the Creole. But, Calypso was also one of the Greek goddesses - her name means 'hidden' or 'one who hides'.
Whatever you name her, she's very cute."There is nothing more frightening than ignorance in action." -X

She looks so much like my tortie, Kallie. Kallie went to rainbow bridge last summer. I am currently 'house sitting' a fur kid named 'Tali'. If DH and I decide to keep him, we will rename him to Smokey. I keep calling Tali, Kallie....

I agree with Mimi - only you can name your kitty, Beth. However, I can't help but try and play off the tortoise theme......
slider? (ok, that's a turtle....)
shelly?
How about Sulcata and call her Katy.....or Sulkie......

Oh such beautiful kitty. She's already getting used to her home all streched out. And thank you so much for adopting... It makes me teary eyed when animals get adopted to a loving home.
I'm sure you will find an appropriate name for your new baby.
Sincerely and hugs to the little kitty,
