Last Friday we brought home our new kitten. He's a moggy we got for free from R*'s friend. He was born on July 9th which makes him 9 weeks old.
I've always wanted a cat and with R*'s gerbils gone it seemed like an obvious next pet for the family. R* would much rather have a dog and as much as we all like dogs, neither Jenny or I want to commit to daily dog walks. Cats are just so much easier to look after. Our only concern is whether K* will turn out to be allergic to him; it may turn out that we can't keep him. (the kitten that is although it's a close call).
The kitten was, in fact, my birthday present but we couldn't pick him up until after our holidays. R*'s been hounding me about what the cat name should be all summer as I reserved the right to make the final decision. R* wanted to call him Mewcus. No, definitely not! Chairman Meow was tempting. So was Elvis Catstello. It's been very tough and looking through Kessel's 15,000+ cat names didn't make it much easier. At the moment, it's either "Bobo" or "Pixel" as it's still a topic of family discussion.
Of course you never really "own" a cat. It's just a cohabitation arrangement for mutual benifit.
I've settled on calling him "Pixel". Yes, it's geeky but I like it! We also got our first vet bill! Took him for his first vaccination shots. He needs more shots in two weeks and then he gets spayed in a few more months.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI also would like to suggest a website, where you can find lots of <a href="http://www.cat-dog-names.com/cat-names.html">cat names and kitten names</a>.
I collected cat and kitten names based on color, gender and other features.
I hope you will find useful.
Thanks,
