new fur ball - or Name that Kitty!

Pebbles?

I took a nap in the guest bedroom yesterday, and she came out from under the bed. She was living in a kennel in the lobby of the vet's office, so she isn't afraid of people. At one point there was a fly or something flitting around, and she did her best to catch it, but the neighbor's barking dog frightened her, so ZIP! under the bed. Apparently she does *talk*, but thus far has been quiet. Does have a loud purrer. When I gave her breakfast this morning, I had to coax her out from under the bed. Soon she'll get used to the house routine and noises.

Bonnie cat is a tortoise shell cat as well, and VERY talkative. So hopefully new kitty won't be as loud. She does have a pleasant voice, when she did meow (or mioux if she speaks french, she is from Louisiana afterall ). Bonnie cat does NOT have a pleasant voice.

Once I see her more relaxed and what her personality will be like, the name will come. But keep the ideas coming too!

My eldest son has a cat named Catch. But when they adopted him he had a serious intestinal issues, which lead to diarrhea...so his nickname became Poo-Kitty. Then comes along Grandson, who's grown up with Poo. One of his first words of course, is Poo. Every cat is Poo to him. So everywhere we go, he points and says PooooO? He's very cute. Poo has been a great companion for the little guy.

Here they are having a conversation. Might be about that ball in the baby's lap?

uh-oh - that looks like an accident waiting to happen

very cute photo, though.

I'm hoping Poo-cat is sedate and wellmannered when it comes to claws...

Oh, yes. They have 3 cats and the baby knows which cats tolerate what. Catch kept very near the baby as much as possible when he was tiny (I mean tiny...he was 2 lbs 14 oz at birth). Those cats are SO fat and lazy! I can't imagine them even lifting a paw to swat a fly.

Oh, I just LOVE that '80s long toddler hair! The cat is cute, too.

My grandson, in that picture, was about 9 months old, and probably only weighed about 10 or 11 lbs. He was born 10 weeks early, so he was tiny. All the cats outweighed him for the first year of his life!

He's 2-1/2 now, and he has that long hair just like his daddy (my son) did at age 2 in the '80s. My DIL's generation think they invented all the fashion that is now.
