Can't wait to show you!<br /><br />I guess we've been "sheltering" cats/kittens for many years, Geneviève. ;) And that's not all... Autumn's mama (a.k.a. Mama) looks like she's due any day now. But she usually has hers across the road at the neighbor's and brings them over here for me to feed through the winter. Ha.<br /><br />We'll be needing those names! :)Grandma Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260178906088230163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-60161443929725615242015-06-15T21:02:05.439-05:002015-06-15T21:02:05.439-05:00More kittens?!

Yes, I've heard of "tired kitten syndrome" before... as good an explanation as any for "I don't know why it died", I guess.<br /><br />BTW, Patches is out... already have one of those. :) I'm really liking Smoke (or Smoky), though!<br /><br />And today Grandpa discovered more kittens! They belong to Patches and are a week older than Rainbow's. I haven't seen them yet. He said they're very wild. I think I'll have to sneak out with the camera sometime. And will save any leftover names! ;)Grandma Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260178906088230163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-35663020239140904322015-06-15T15:09:13.959-05:002015-06-15T15:09:13.959-05:00Ooh!

Such fun!<br /><br />My votes are:<br />Calico: Patches<br />Orange and white: Seconding Jenny's vote for Clementine, or Marmalade<br />White male: Smoke or Radar (for the dark grey ears?)<br />White female: Iris<br /><br />Can't wait to see what you and Courtney decide!<br /><br />Also, I'm sorry about the other baby. At the animal shelter where I volunteer, they say the babies that pass for no reason had "tired kitten syndrome." It's never easy to lose one.Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551060664894997817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-1322810522786543092015-06-14T19:22:51.420-05:002015-06-14T19:22:51.420-05:00Ooohh... more fun names!

So the girls were "aaawwww"-ing to no end, but we stopped long enough to brainstorm some names. Here they are:<br /><br />Calico: Malta or Oreo<br />Orange-and-white: Snuffles or Stampy<br />White girl: Snowy or Paige<br />White boy: Clover or Stormy<br /><br />Even if we don't get picked, we are just glad to have been able to see those adorable little faces and paws. LOOOOOVE kitty paws.

I often call Josie "Josie Lou"... maybe when she gets up to naughtiness (which is rare), she should become "Josephine Louise"? Ha! Annabelle often becomes Annabella... or "Annabellabrat". You can tell who does the naughtiness around here. ;) But then, she's 3 years younger.Grandma Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260178906088230163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-66340342870714110162015-06-13T22:05:52.183-05:002015-06-13T22:05:52.183-05:00I think Clementine is a cute name for the orange o...I think Clementine is a cute name for the orange one, since they are cute little oranges. When I was in middle and high school our cat a few litters of kittens and we always named the girls after First Ladies. There was a Martha, an Abigale, and a Lucy, among others. <br /><br />We always gave them (and all of our other pets) people names. The one exception was an all black cat named "Spooky". My mom once took him to the vet and they referred to the cat as Spooky Sandler (my maiden name) and my mom decided that she needed to go back to "normal" names if they were going to have last names too! Her current cat even ended up with a middle name- she started out as Cassie. Then it became Cassie Lou. Then one time my mom was mad at her for something and I caught her yelling "Cassandra Louise!"<br /><br />JennyJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535812677721195403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-47686787158294680242015-06-13T08:28:35.451-05:002015-06-13T08:28:35.451-05:00Poor kitty!

He was named Bichou, which is almost as manly as Snuggles. Consequently, I shouldn't have any right to judge any name ever chosen ha!Genevièvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02906460820617853088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-34756267523740045972015-06-13T08:05:46.859-05:002015-06-13T08:05:46.859-05:00I think Courtney helped name him.

He and Tommy (who is likely his father) fight probably every day. But he holds his own! I have recent pics of the two of them (in the same pic!)... I should post them.Grandma Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260178906088230163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-71951766090082156042015-06-13T07:36:48.482-05:002015-06-13T07:36:48.482-05:00Hahaha Snuggles!

It'd be fun to have kitties with French names. :) I already have a Tommy, although he's not really mine, but he's here nearly every day. He comes to eat my cat food, pester my females, and fight with my resident tom (whose name is Snuggles - ha!). I don't know what his real name is, or if he even has one or belongs to anybody. He keeps his distance from me.<br /><br />We'll see if there are any more suggestions.......Grandma Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260178906088230163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12104740.post-16000089610219203352015-06-12T07:32:11.055-05:002015-06-12T07:32:11.055-05:00The first name that came to my mind looking at tha...The first name that came to my mind looking at that cute calico sleepyhead is Cannelle, which translates to Cinnamon. (is it weird to name a cat after a spice?)<br /><br />And that little male... He looks like he is going to be a big cat with attitude. Maybe something like Jack or Tom?<br /><br />For the two others, mostly french names seems to come to my mind... Lilou, Caramel, Cléo, Bianca, Blanche, Capucine, Jasmine... Maybe some of them sound alright in english?Genevièvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02906460820617853088noreply@blogger.com
