Moondance | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 01:49 pm   Very good G!!! |
Kitty | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 01:52 pm   My first thought was "Snowball"... I see that someone else had the same idea. Please don't name you cat "Kitty". I know a cat named "Cloud"... the most obnoxious pet alive. |
Whowhere | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 01:53 pm   I'd never even heard of it when it happened. Information is a lot easier to come by now than it was almost 10 years ago. |
Weinermr | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 01:59 pm   Ethan??? I think you're "tripping"!  |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 02:02 pm   How about George? |
Moondance | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 02:02 pm   ASPCA The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was founded in 1866 The Humane Society was founded in 1954 Both have always had a plethora of information for anyone who has called or wanted information... for years. |
Babyruth | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 02:09 pm   Hmmmm...what to name him....what to name him......hmmmm....

Max | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 02:11 pm   I have a white cat (see my profile) named Squeak. When I first got her, she fit in the palm of my hand and was pure, fluffy white. I wanted to name her Snowball. My (now ex-)husband said that might be dangerous, so I ended up naming her Squeak because she had the squeakiest little meow I'd ever heard. I'm REALLY glad I listened to my ex because as Squeak got older, shades of orange tabby cat emerged. She developed orange-tipped ears, faint orange rings on her tail, and a faint orange stripe pattern down her back. She would now be a fairly orange-yellow snowball and that is NOT a good combination! Anyway, the moral of the story (aside from the fact that ex-husbands do occasionally have good ideas) is that if you name your new cat based on its current physical characteristics, be prepared for those characteristics to change and the name to take on new meaning. |
Moondance | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 02:13 pm   Squeak is sooo cute Max! Julie, my white kitty is named Sabastian (yes I spell it different) |
Meme9 | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 02:37 pm   When my hubby and kids came home with our rescued kitten(the kitten was so ugly, but now is a very handsome cat). We couldn't tell if it was a male or female! The kids were talking about it eat like a vacuum cleaner, so....they want to call it Hoover(boy)or Eureka(girl). Thank goodness that vet said it was a male....and Hoover offically was named. Could ya see me out calling for the cat named Eurekkkkkka! It makes me laugh everything I think about it. Julieboo, how about "Spooky" if you want a casual name. Or "Fredrick" if he's more of the nose in the air kind of cat. |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 02:40 pm   Crazydog, I am allergic to cats as well, but I did find a breed that is absolutely wonderful. A Cornish Rex has wavy rabbit fur hair and it comes out in clumps instead of shedding hair by hair. I am not allergic to this cat. They are a very calm and wonderful breed and Ramses is cat that strikes up many conversations just because of his look! |
Julieboo | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 02:46 pm   BabyRuth, I love your graphic! And Max, Squeak is so beautiful!!! High-five Moonie for having an all white cat! (and another high five if you have another cat that is white & tabby like my Pocahontas). Meme, I think Eureka is a great name!!!! I might go with that just cuz it would be so funny to go around calling "Eureka". Kinda like if you named a dog "grandma". Then you could say "Grandma peed on the floor again" or "Grandma, stop humping my leg." or "Grandma bit me!" (Oh man, I am getting delirious!!!!) I think you guys are really getting to know the "real" goofy me! |
Neko | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 02:47 pm   How about Artemis? |
Moondance | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 02:53 pm   I love the name Pocahontas!... maybe Geronimo for Frosty I have a white and tabby ... Sherman and Zoey! |
Whowhere | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 03:05 pm   Be it as it may.....I am the proud owner of a beautfiul cat and a beautiful dog (see profile pic) who were both purchased by a breeder and am very happy with my choices. Regardless of where they came from, they are loved just the same. Good luck with choosing a name!! |
Moondance | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 03:10 pm   My point is that there are many choices in this world Who, many that are better than choosing from a breeder. So many lives would be saved if people would choose to adopt... As a proud Native American, a very wise leader once said there should never be a price for a soul. |
Julieboo | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 03:22 pm   Who-your dog is very pretty. I have to agree with Moonie. I am sure people are very happy with dogs or cats that they get from a breeder, but so many lives would be saved if people looked at shelters or rescue groups. It might take a bit longer, but you can find purebreds at a shelter and especially at the particular breed's rescue group. If you start looking at a place like petshelter.org or petfinder.com, you will be floored to how many unwanted animals there are. Just look and as you read thru the stories and see the shear numbers (and there are only a fraction listed on those websites) you might be surprised. Okay. Nuff said. Back to the thread subject. Thanks guys, you are coming up with so many good choices... (almost too many!!) |
Meme9 | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 03:42 pm   Julieboo, that reminds me of some friends who named their dog "Damn It". So, picture them outside calling for their dog, Damn It come here, and Damn It go away....kinda like the grandma thing. LOL |
Spygirl | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 04:07 pm   Well, I can solve this debate -- have both! That's what I did. I will buy a specific breed of dog because I'm totally in love with dachshunds, but I will always have rescued, too. I'm afraid, however, that I will not have cats  |
Moondance | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 04:11 pm   Nope doesn't solve the debate Spy... there are a ton of Dachshunds Rescue groups... there is no reason to buy from a breeder... RESCUE! |
Spygirl | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 04:36 pm   Hmmm....well, I guess it only solves the debate for me then... While I understand your point, I don't see any harm from buying from breeders. Especially if you also have rescue animals, too. I guess to each his/her own. |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 04:51 pm   I like Silver as a name (close to white and more glittery). |
Neko | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 04:52 pm   I rescued my dog, Odèe from our SPCA. I love him...big sweet-stupid-heart |

Jenhavins | Wednesday, February 20, 2002 - 06:02 pm   I got my dog (Pekinese named Corky) from a breeder. I was given my cat (Cornish Rex named Ramses) from a local vet where he was a blood donor. He was 3 years old when I got him. I have a friend that works at a rescue shelter called Fuzzy Friends and they have wonderful cats and dogs that have been either abandoned or given up. When I need a new animal, I will go to Fuzzy Friends. I love my pets which give my husband and I wonderful hours of enjoyment and have had my sweet Corky for 11 years. I never regret where I got him from, just that he has made my life better by being around and someday he won't be. |
