the last kitten we got LOVED baths. i did the whole wrap him in a towel, get ready to have your arms scratched off routine...and he just stood there as i shampooed and rinsed him. we would put him in the sink and, as long as his feet were on solid ground, he would let us use the dishmaster wand of water on him. we bathe him twice a year. our other cats have hated water but bootsie loves it!

leia is the one i like the most of those you listed. none of them really excite me, but it's your kitty and you know what fits her best. i still like 'celeste' for a cat!

I prefer Belle as in Blue Belle but if you must make your own choice, LOL, I also like Leia best from your list. Maybe I need to find my own Belle!

Of course they have to do things they don't LIKE but since most cats don't need a bath, I wouldn't force it on a cat without a very good reason. LOL, the ones who like it must have some "fishing cat" genes. They really shrink when they are wet. There was a kitten in Santa Ana that I tried to save/adopt and she was LOADED with fleas. This was before Advantage or Frontline existed. Anyway I gave her a good bath in the sink and I swear there wasn't anything left! She was so cute and had long hair. Unfortunately, even after a vet visit, she didn't make it (Angelina just looked deep in my eyes and communicated that it will be a very cold day down below when she lets me get her wet! She does like to come up outside the shower door and meow loudly, though. And it is good stuff to drink, she tells me) Saxy, that kitten is really adorable! I love the tip of her tail from the back! All the names are good. I like Leia because she is sure to be a princess.. just look at all the "stuff" she has already, to play with!

Great kitten pictures! Here's another Cats Vs Dogs joke for you all to enjoy: EXCERPTS FROM A DOG'S DIARY Day 180 8:00 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVOURITE! 9:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVOURITE! 9:40 am - OH BOY! A WALK! MY FAVOURITE! 10:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVOURITE! 11:30 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVOURITE! 12:00 noon - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVOURITE! 1:00 pm - OH BOY! THE YARD! MY FAVOURITE! 4:00 pm - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVOURITE! 5:00 PM - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVOURITE! 5:30 PM - OH BOY! MOM! MY FAVOURITE! Day 181 8:00 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVOURITE! 9:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVOURITE! 9:40 am - OH BOY! A WALK! MY FAVOURITE! 10:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVOURITE! 11:30 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVOURITE! 12:00 noon - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVOURITE! 1:00 pm - OH BOY! THE YARD! MY FAVOURITE! 4:00 pm - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVOURITE! 5:00 PM - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVOURITE! 5:30 PM - OH BOY! MOM! MY FAVOURITE! Day 182 8:00 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVOURITE! 9:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVOURITE! 9:40 am - OH BOY! A WALK! MY FAVOURITE! 10:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVOURITE! 11:30 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVOURITE! 12:00 noon - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVOURITE! 1:00 pm - OH BOY! THE YARD! MY FAVOURITE! 1:30 pm - ooooooo. bath. bummer. 4:00 pm - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVOURITE! 5:00 PM - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVOURITE! 5:30 PM - OH BOY! MOM! MY FAVOURITE! EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DIARY DAY 752 My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. DAY 761 Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favourite chair... must try this on their bed. DAY 765 Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescend ed about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm..... Not working according to plan. DAY 768 I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth. DAY 771 There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odour of the glass tubes they call "beer". More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to my power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. DAY 774 I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

I don't think I'm going to have a bug problem this year. Flies 0, Spot 3. (Trouble, of course, is too cool to chase flies.)

So how do you pronounce that name, like Leah? I still like Sprinkles, but now I will just save that one for myself.

make sure leia's middle name is 'round'. cause cats mostly lay around! LOL she is adorable! my cats were so glad to see me today after over a week gone. not that being out of food had anything to do with it. they must have just run out because they did not run to the food bowl and gorge themselves when i gave them food. i'll hang out with them for another day and then we have to go back to los banos on thursday. we'll be in our house in shingletown FULL TIME as of monday, june 5!!
