Hey!!
My sweet angel girl Miski was adopted on my birthday, lol. It just happened to work out that way on the day I was able to pick her up. She's a very loving "cowcat". Wesley is a very handsome void boi that came into my life this past summer. He was almost fully feral but has since graduated Good Boy school and has become the best void boi he can be!! We're all super proud of him
Ahh! I forgot to attach a photo!
Mine are Baxter and Brodie, Baxter is the one on top and Brodie below, they are 7 months old. They are absolutely ruined, we lost our 22 year old Tom last October and though they will never replace him they help fill the hole.
My Main coon kittens are Dexter and Marley. They are brother and sister.
I have a female, mostly black tortoiseshell dsh named Artemis after the Greek goddess of the hunt and moon!
I also have an orange, female, medium hair cat named Aurora after the Roman goddess of the dawn!
Though most people refer to Artemis as Girly because it's the only thing she responds to, and Aurora as Arby's because she lived in an Arby's dumpster for nearly a year before she was taken in by the rescue I adopted her from.
Artemis was named because I was going through a rough time in my life when I adopted her and appreciated that Artemis is referred to as the protector of girls and young women. (I was a Greek mythology nerd as a kid if you couldn't tell)
Aurora had such a rough life that I thought a name indicating the dawn, a new beginning, was fitting.
Ms. Georgia Peach Or Peaches. We’re living in PA but while visiting my daughter in GA I fell in love with my girl. She had been (mistakenly we found out last month) diagnosed with FIV so was being ignored. It looked like her adoption chances were pretty slim and they offered her to me for free. Her color made me think of peaches so I thought it appropriate. However, since that’s probably all she had ever been called by visitors she will only respond to Kitty! Lol so Kitty or Kitty Girl it is!
Tako. He came with that when I adopted him, and I kept it. Love it.
Dora and Thumbelina, 2 sisters that I adopted about 3 weeks ago. I'll probably keep their names.
I named my Ragamuffin kitten Belle for a few reasons. First, my elderly English Bulldog's name was Daisy Belle. She was the the lady in charge of the house and the boy dogs. I knew Daisy was near the end of her time here, and I also knew my kitten would be next in charge of these silly boys, so it was kind of like passing the torch. LOL! Belle means beautiful in French, and I got my kitten from a breeder of French background, and the cattery has a French name. I also grew up in a French speaking community. Put those things all together, and it was a no brainer!! Plus, it fits her to a T.
I had a hard time finding names for my cats as I am Vietnamese. I want names that are short in both English and Vietnamese so people can remember their names. In the end, my boy’s name is Mưa (meaning Rainy) and my girl’s name is Nắng (meaning Sunny). They are one year old now.
@cassandrapham Cassandra, I love that you found names that are perfect in both English and Vietnamese! Adorable!!!
@chum Hey there! I'm so sorry it's taken me months to reply to this post, but I wanted to say hi to one of my favorite YouTube commenters! Great to see you here. Miski and Wesley are beautiful, healthy-looking kitties—both have very snugglable chests and bright, lively eyes. Lovely! Hope you're all doing well.
@markharris Hey Mark, apologies for the delay in responding to this—I tend to miss forum notifications and just got back here to look through everything. It's wonderful to see that you made your way to the forum from YouTube, and I loved seeing Baxter and Brodie. Naturally, they've grown up a bit since this photo was posted, but they are absolutely adorable here. Love their little noses. Thank you so much for sharing, and again, I really appreciate you being a part of the community.
@sarahlogan Oh, that's a Belle if I've ever seen one! The name suits her on multiple levels. 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing, Sarah.
Naming cats is so much fun. I've had quite a few cats over the years. Current:
Gabby - Named after Gabby Giffords. Got the kitten right after Rep Giffords was shot. Colorful dilute calico.
TC - short for Tuxedo Cat
Tabbie - rescue kitten from a group of 5, they needed names when they went for 1st vet visit, so I just called her Tabbie and it stuck
Cleo - Calico/tortoiseshell kind of mix. Very colorful cat with gold eyes.
Electra - Dilute calico, mostly gray.
Anya - half Maine Coon fluffball. Probably the most interesting personality in a cat I've ever known. Gentle, calm (when not getting the zoomies)
I've also had Calvin, Karman, Mohawk and Galuboy Nevada Skyy (GB for short)
