Names for the ADD Kittens

So when I asked you guys for help, you certainly came through.  I took the names and wrote them all down on the wall in the Kitten Room in dry erase marker.    I have a feeling I'll be using these for a while.  Some of them will be taken down for the simple fact that I've already used several of them already.

I've already decided I wanted to have a set of 'triplet names' and a set of 'twin names'  I really REALLY wanted to call the fluffy black boy Foster, but he just seems more of a Theo and thus his sister became Thea.

Theo and Thea.

This sweet little kitten (NoWhite) took the name Tiki after I heard it. Which simply meant that some other iki names would need to be decided for her sisters.

Don't blame me!!

Sigh, whatever, as long as you don't call me late to dinner.

Meet Riki (LittleWhite)

and Niki. (LotsAWhite)

Of course this leads to the issue, is Tiki pronouced like you would if it was a Tiki Torch or Rikki Tikki Tavi. Actually it really depends on the situation and my mood.

Words with Kittens

I have come up with a fun idea to name kittens.  I have no idea if it will work, but I want to give it a shot.   I thought about coming up with a name for mom and then seeing how many names we could get out of that, but with four girl names and a boy name I wasn't sure I could come up with a name for mom that would work - and besides looking at mom tonight I heard the name Betty.. so Betty she will be.

So, the challenge if you choose to accept it.  Come up with some names using these letters:

Lets see what we can come up with!! :)

Speaking of Betty.. Last night when I went down to feed them I saw her entire front foot sticking out from under the door not moving.  I was a little fearful that it was stuck but when I touched it she wiggled it and put it back.  This is what she does when I open the door..

Doesn't she have a cute thumb?

There is also a cute kitten story because there is no photo.  See the set up below?  Well one of the black and white girl kittens wanted to see if she could climb "stairs" with her Halloween cat suit on.. You know that arched back sideways thing fur sticking every which way?  Well it was a riot to see her try to jump from one level to the other sideways.  Reminded me of when I wear high heals and I have to walk up or down a flight of narrow stairs.

Of course once she got up there was nothing of interest so after all that work she simply turned around and ran away.. Total ADD kittens for sure.

Chasing Mom's Tail

Momma, what's that thing behind you??

It moves so enticingly!!

Momma?? It's following you!!

I'll get it!!

Hey look, she gave it to meeee

a tail all my own

But pumpkin, you have your own tail

Yeah, but momma's is cooler.. 

Momma!  Why you kick me??

Well little miss mom is DONE being a mom.  She sits at the door and begs to be let out.  We can't walk through the door with out holding her because she'll slip out with us.  Last night I held her while I showed her the rest of the media room outside the kitten room and she was so happy.  I'm sure she thought it was kitty nirvana.  She didn't even care that Twee was sitting there.  She has her bags packed and she wants to move in.  I fear that leaving her in the kitten room is just going to cause problems so she will be heading back to the shelter this weekend.. possibly as early as Friday if she makes a nuisance of herself tonight.  I do prefer to leave the moms with their kittens as long as possible, but there are many different reasons to separate them.  When she is unhappy.  When she is over protective.  When she is overly nurturing (and the kittens have no use for humans).

I don't even think the kittens will notice.  They are full of run and completely ADD.  The can't even stay focused on the fishing pole toy that most kittens LOVE and can't stop playing with.. If she's available they'll nurse a little, but she doesn't put up with it much any more.  Then either she's off or they are..

Thank you for the feedback

I do appreciate everyone commenting about links opening in the same window or a new window/tab.  I, like all of you, appreciate it when links open up in new windows, but since I quite often prefer things that aren't generally popular (as I get to be reminded every new TV Show season when new favorites are canceled right away) I wanted to make sure I was or wasn't the only one.
