New Kitty

Sign in to disble this ad
Yep, got myself a nice little kitten. A little grey and white one. I found her out back of my work, a museum, in the garden. She was just sort of chillin'
Anyway, shes just hangin' out in my room for now.
Heres some pics, and i need name suggestions as well.






As you can probably see, she has double paws on her front feet, ive had 1 other cat like that, its kind of unique.

Have you named her yet? I recommend "Mittens". Great name for a cat with those funny paws.

Thumbs up

yay kitteh

Edit: Name suggestion: Ghost Lee, Chairman Mow(yes, I know it's a female- so what? ), Dogstyle, Stainburger, Jester... of course the cat's personality will be a huge factor- what's she like?

Congrats on your new kitten.

The mother in me would not consider this thread to be complete without encouraging you to take your new kitten to a veterinary office to make sure everything's okay and more importantly stays okay, especially considering her alley cat beginnings.

As for names, I'm throwing out Alleywishes.

Oh yes, she will be getting a full examination and the appropriate shots to ensure her health and well being.

Cool. :thumbsup:

Since it looks like she's a "Hemingway" kitty, i.e. she has some extra toes, how about Margeaux or Mariel, after Hemingway girls?

Cool! Congratulations on the new kitty.

Last year while I was on the east coast for the GTG, my wife took in a kitten that a neighbor found poking around a fast food restaurant's parking lot. He was malnourished and had fleas and our neighbor feared that he might've gotten into a rodent poison trap outside the restaurant. She took the little guy to our vet and got him treated. The vet estimated that the kitten was about five weeks old. He's all healthy now and has been a real blast.

I think this is commonly referred to as a pterodactyl cat. They can be quiet a bit more personable than a regular cat seeing as how they are so close to having opposable thumbs. Once the kitty race achieves this trait mankind is doomed I tell you.

DOOMED!!!

Anyway, congrats on the new kitten. I've always been a fan of the grey tabby types.

Also, my cat is named "Echo" and I don't think I've ever had a cat name that has been more fun to say randomly around the house.

polydactyl = extra toes
pterodactyl = flying dinosaur

I'm fairly convinced that you meant polydactyl rather than pterodactyl, although if my dry humor detector is on the fritz today, please excuse the unnecessary correction.

EDIT: Jimmy boy beat me to it.

Ah, yes, sorry folks. That 12 hour day of construction does funny things to the brain.

Anyway, I stand by my proclamation.

DOOMED!!!

name her 24, or something to do with the number 24, the show 24?
When I was a kid we had a silver cat like that. I named him quicksilver after the cartoon silverhawks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzAQu23t19A
