This post is a bit overdue. Mostly because I couldn't wrap my brain around the name my husband picked for Miss Mouse and I only recently started calling her by her new name without having to think about it.
It is a little bit sad as I like the idea of a cat named mouse, but I feel she needed a stronger name to try to help her overcome her fears. She's a rather timid kitty and we rarely see her during the day. She does like to come out at night and is quite demanding about being pet and getting attention. It's nice for me because I'm really uncomfortable letting more than a day go by without us putting hands on a kitty in our home.
Anyway, the Catman decided that Miss Mouse was going to be Xena - the worrier princess
As for Mr Darcy.. I tried name after name for him and nothing stuck until one day I came in the house and for some reason called our "Toby!!" And he came running over, ever so happy to see me. His official name is Tobias, but I call him Tobes, or Tobes McGoats, or Toby..
He brings me an inordinate amount of joy. He loves throwing himself at my feet and he often makes walking across the room quite difficult. He is trying very hard to fill the large holes left by Muffin and Jack
I love the new names! He is very much a Tobias! Such gorgeous kitties. Tickles to them!
ReplyDeleteWe adopted a kitty whom was called Shadow...ugh!
ReplyDeleteThe Hubby and I tried all kinds of names, until Loretta popped out of my mouth, and she responded to it.
Like Tobias, they sent their true names to us, and we finally figured it out!
Love the new names. Xena, the worrier Princess makes me laugh and Toby is definitely a Tobias!
ReplyDeleteTotally get it. It's a process. And i see nothing wrong with Mouse (says the person with a cat named Goldfish)
ReplyDeleteOne day I'll have a cat named Mouse
Delete"The Worrier Princess" - that really made me MOL! I think both names are perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove the names you chose. Toby and Zena are the purrfect names for these kitties. The day you adopted them was a truly lucky day for them. They are precious. Toby is so in love with you. He filled a void and he is doing an excellent job.
ReplyDeleteThe new names are wonderful. Xena... maybe she will come out and show off her warrior Princess self more often! She has such a sweet face. Tobias works great for Mr. Floof.
ReplyDeleteThose names are purrfect!
ReplyDeleteOh, we love their new names!
ReplyDeleteThose are super names and we are sure Xena will now become the warrior she is at heart. As for Toby isn't it something how some cats name themselves!
ReplyDeleteI like the new names. XO
ReplyDeleteNice new names
ReplyDeleteLove the new names!
