It's always a fun time when you get to name your litter of kittens. With my first batch, I just gave them names that I liked and what I thought the kittens suited. But, as I slowly found out, the adopters would change their names to what they envisioned was the perfect name for their new furry family addition. So, I now go with a theme for each littler.
BATCH #1 - No theme
 |
| Starsky & Hana |
 |
| Skooter, Lucy and Malcomb |
BATCH #2 - "HAPPY DAYS" theme
 |
| Arthurelli, Ralphie and Chachi |
 |
| Shirley and Ritchie |
 |
| Laverne |
BATCH #3 - "LET'S GO PLAY" theme
 |
| Mommy Peak-a-Boo |
 |
| Hyde and Seak |
 |
| Kole, Ebonie and Slate |
And my newest litter: BATCH #5 - "Big Bang Theory" theme
 |
| Mommy Aimee |
Yes, I know, what's with the unusual spellings. As I've mentioned earlier in my blog, there are 1,700+ cats in the *VOKRA database. So as to not mix up Amy from Amy from Amy, we have to name each kitten with a unique spelling or give them a last name to go with their first name.
I guess I could have named Mommy and her kittens by their full character names - Amy Farrah Fowler, Rajesh Koothrappali, Sheldon Cooper, Leonard Hofstadter and Penny ... well Penny would have just been Penny the Waitress (now the pharmaceutical rep, for those who follow The Big Bang Theory sitcom), but I just found it easier to tweak the spellings of their first names.
Mommy, a chocolate-point Siamese, is a very affectionate cat. She rubs up against my hand when I come down to see her and rubs my leg when I`m standing over her box to watch her kittens sleep and play.
Lennord is very vocal and will meow and meow at us, which of course automatically prompts me to pick him up for cuddles! I`m not sure that`s his intention, but the outcome is always cuddles from me. Hubby just answers back to Lennord`s meows. They have some pretty sweet conversations.
The other three kittens, Shelldon, Penee and Rajesh have not stood out in any way (except for their absolute cuteness), but I`m sure as the weeks go on I`ll see their little spunky personalities shine through.
