we have names...


I was looking at the little tiger boy thinking how much he looks like the clouded leopard from the "Growing up clouded leopard" show on Animal Planet, and decided to name him Cloud. Then the little gray and white boy needs to be named Kau, cause he has the markings of a cow - sorta - and I have a friend with the online screen name of CloudKau. Then the girl tiger I'm going to name Scarlet because I think it fits her and because CloudKau has a cat named Scarlet, which leaves the black and white one with Zhannah. I swear sometimes coming up with names for kittens is the worst part of this.

Kitten shower is coming up this Saturday. Last year I spent my day in front of a display of foster kittens. I personally have so much fun talking about kittens and fostering, but it is so hard to fight the idea that people have that they couldn't do it because they could never give them up. Trust me, when you have five three-month-old kittens - or 10 at one point as I have had - by the time they are ready to go back, you are so ready for them to go back. Most of the time I know by their behavior more than putting them on a scale when they are of size to go. Yeah, there are those special ones that you worked hard with to get healthy but you know you can't keep them all, and if you tried, you'd have no room left in your life to help the next set that comes in.
