SG sure does know her cat stuff ... so her coloring is called blue cream. So how about Blue Belle for a name?? You could always call her Belle.

I named my last few cats after book characters I really liked, LOL. My last two are Nymphadora and Luna from Harry Potter. Do you have any books or movies that you REALLY love?

Wouldn't you know Hermi, that last night, Hermione crossed my mind. But it's so many syllables. LOL Jersey will not work. My DH is a New Yorker! They say things about jersey people!! ROFL Found out from my sis n law about the blue and cream coloring. She said it's also known as a dilute calico. She thinks she looks about 6 weeks or so old as well. I need to get this baby some breakfast and plant my poor tomato plants. I hope at least ONE of them survives!

That's funny, Saxy! Luna was originally Hermione, but, like you, I found it to be too long. So she was rechristened as Luna for Luna Lovegood. Nymphadora is pretty long, too, but somehow it flows off the tongue better. How about Tonks? You know I like those Harry Potter names, LOL.

Names I like: Lu Lu Dora-belle (or just Dora or Belle) Marley Sunny Jo Jo June Bug Shiloh Mia B.B. (for BB King the "Blues Man") Someone the other day told me they named their dog Lilly after my DD, I was flattered. Lilly would be a good name for such a pretty kitty.

She will probably name herself in some way. Critter started out as Dazzle, but somehow became Critter. Angelina arrived already named and it never seems too long because it fits her! (The woman who picked her up off the street and took her to the vet named her Thomasina but the rescue lady rejected that out of hand, and correctly so.)

Saxy, what a gorgeous kitten!!! How about Jasmine and you could call her Jazzy for short? Our cats have always had "proper" names and then when we call them "nicknames". For instance, sometimes we used variations of their name or something entirely different. Spook was also Boo Boo or Boo Boo Kitty. We probably called her Boo Boo most often. Jade is another good name because of her eyes. My last cat was Jade Ling, but we never ended up using the "Ling" part. People asked why I called her Jade when she had blue eyes, but I just thought it sounded kind of exotic for a Siamese. Now we have Misha and she gets called Meeeshy, Mi Mi and my son has taken to calling her Misha Barton (after the actress) when she's being naughty! I just saw yesterday the actress spells her first name differently, but it's close enough. Besides, only my son calls her that. I had to ask who Misha Barton was! LOL We introduced our dog and Misha slowly, only letting Kellie sniff the kitten and she would wimper because she wanted to play with her. There had been a little poodle who basically ignored the cats/kittens where she was born. We kept Misha in my daughters' room until we felt comfortable letting her be unattended near the dog. We were afraid that even though Kellie just wanted to play, she might hurt her because she was so tiny. If your dogs aren't too sure and since they're really young and may jump, I'd keep them on a leash near her until they get used to her. We never really had a problem introducing kittens to the older pets. It's only when there's adults involved it can be more challenging. Jade never really got too super friendly with Kellie, but she got past being afraid of her. Plus, we just spoiled her more so she wouldn't be jealous.

my friend in junior high was pretty goofy. one of her cats had 3 kittens and they were named, "God", "damn" and "frozen livers". see, after that, any name looks pretty darn good! since my siblings and i had unusual names, for the 50's, anyway...we named 5 kittens "billy", "susie", "linda" "tommy" and something else common. i can't remember the last kitten's name, but i think maybe "mary".

Saxy-Your new addition is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!! I like alot of the names given as suggestions. I'm sure she'll get used to the dogs. Are the dogs curious of her or scared of her when she hisses??

Seamonkey is right..they do end up naming themselves. Lucee started out Gracie and Charlie's registered name is Petnic Sinbad. And he is such a Charlie. The one cat who named herself immediately was from a cat rescue org called Cascade Animal Protection Society in Seattle. We had gone thru some heartbreaking times with our persians and wanted a shorthair manx. The woman called and said she had found one for us and she was at a foster home. There is a place called McNeil Island with a prison on it. One of the prisoners had caught one of the feral cats on the island and made a pet of her. She grew up and proceeded to have a litter of 6 kittens. The guards then said all of them had to go. His social worker called CAPS. This is where we came in..went miles out to this beautiful home perched on a hill with a widow woman who had built this house with her cats in mind. Wide oak window sills for cats to lay in the sunshine etc. Come to find out this woman had moved up from California with that group, Shirley McLaine and Linda Evans to be near this JZ Knight who channeled some 2000 year old spirit. So she brings out this darling little black, red and cream kitten. What else could we do but take her...only 8 weeks old and she'd all ready been in prison and got involved in a cult! I picked her up and said "Well hello Lupecanto" And she was our little mexican spitfire for the next 14 years

Well, sandy and kitty have played together a little bit. Sandy would put her paw up on the couch, and the cat would bat at it, and the process would repeat. Landi talked me in to trimming her nails and cleaning her ears tonight. She did really well on the front paws, squirmed on the back. She has purred for us today. Actually, Sandy had her purring too I guess, while she was licking her. That was while I was at work. How often do you guys bathe your cats?

Never. Critter has had two baths in 17 years and that was when she was boarded and they insisted on bathing the cats. Then they took a picture of here, indignant, fuming and, I'm sure, scared. I got a cat-sitter after that.. Bathing Angelina would be taking my LIFE in my hands! But anything you get her used to as a little kitten is probably a good thing. Angelina was between 4-6 when I got her, so no chance.

Never bathe Boo; she hates water. I think I've given her two baths in 13 years because she got covered in goo or something. Most cats will bathe themselves everyday and that is satisfactory; especially indoor cats. In fact, if a cat abruptly stops grooming itself, it typically means the cat may be ill. IMO, cats don't need bathing like dogs do. But, that's jmo.

I'm still voting for Sprinkles. Just a damned good name for a cute, spotted, kitten.

Saxy, I heard you had a new kitty, so I came over to have a look, knowing you would have pictures posted. She's a cutie! Of course, I'm really surprised that a picture of Sandy wasn't thrown in too.

Most people (with the exception of people who breed and show purebred cats) don't bathe their cats. I don't think you should bathe a cat very frequently (if at all), but if you do it from when they are kittens they don't mind at all.

I had my KC for 17 years and I never bathed him. He was an inside cat and it was never an issue. Have you decided on a name for this cutie??
