    With ears like that, you should name her Ross Perot.

    e.e. cummings...I'm going to name my plant Robert!

    My folks used to have a cat named Bill. It was a stray that wandered into our yard, and stayed. My brother and folks always assumed the cat belonged to our neighbor, Billy (he didn't). So, it was "Bill's cat", and ultimately, Bill, when the neighbor moved away and the cat stayed.

    My rabbit's name is a mis-spelling. I named him NOAA, after my agency, and the vet wrote "Noah" so that's sort of stuck.

    Your foundling is adorable, by the way. That 3rd picture is just too much!!

    We have had many Maine Coons...I'm not seeing any MC in your new kitty.
    However, your new baby is a GORGEOUS kitty....I love how she looks! And such wonderful bat ears! Yes, that nose spot is super cute indeed.

    Congratulations! And good for you adopting a needy kitty.

    Speaking of funny names, our neighbors have two little dogs that they named Coco-puff and Pebbles.

    Me either.. she's fluffy, which is why I think the whole litter got that label (and only 4 or 5 of the 11 are longhaired.. but they're listing ALL of them the same.. weird). I don't really care what she is

    Thanks.. our other two came from the same shelter last summer (as did our dog).

    We won't get her until tomorrow now, since the Vet wanted to hold her overnight to make sure she was fine from the anesthesia

    It'll be better. She'll be a bit frightened when she gets transported to your house, and you wouldn't want her having to go through being afraid while she's also feeling drugged out too.
    It'll be a happy time when your new baby comes home!

    Tortilla was listed as Manx (obviously she is tailless) and Maine Coon by the same shetler. She is big and medium fur, yup must be Maine Coon. Enjoy the new baby!

    Sometimes you have to wait a day or two to see what she's like and find the name that suits her.

    We have nine cats inside and one outside (she won't come it):

    Pookie a/k/a Pookie Bear - she's all white
    Burger - 'cause we rescued her from a Burger King - she's tabby & white
    Champ - he's silver
    Weebles - 'cause he's round bottomed like a Weebles Wobbles but they don't fall down
    Frosty - she's silver
    Sierra - she's a tortie
    Betsy - she's a tabby
    Bubba - he's a BIG tabby but a BIGGER baby
    Colby - he's the color of Colby cheese
    Bad Kitty -- she's the outside girl that we rescued but refuses to live in the house
