Wild Child




Her name is still undecided. This week's possibilities:

1.)"Dusty" (In the tradition of our former cats names-Smokey, Sparky, Sunny-named primarily by the kids-can't you tell?)

~and~

2.) "Claudia" Which I thought of this morning, as she clawed at my lower legs.


"Dusty" makes plain sense... due to her dusty color as well as her ability to excavate dust balls from points unknown. "Claudia" is funny to me, in a Groucho Marks kind of way. The man and the daughter call her kitten. None of this silly human naming ritual seems to phase her.

How about "one?" As in, "One who cannot be named."

Pixie and Winston are our cats. ...after the mischevious elfin creature and the world leader...respectively

She's a beauty, annie. I always have a hard time naming critters because I think the name is irrevocably permanent, but in reality it's not. Our cat is named bonsai. This is what we really call him:
bonnie, bonboy, bo, boo, b-man, Mr. B, bonnie rotten, and bonobo.

AW!!! She's so CUTE! I like Dusty. Or, you could also call her "Clawdia" instead of the traditional spelling....

What a neat face! I'm partial to human names, although when I was really young, I had a cat named Molasses.

I vote for Claudia.

I like Dusty. Claudia's funny. Also, Ashley's a good name for a grey kitty, I think. Whatever you name her, she is a cutiepie!

She is a doll. In most cases, their personalities will suggest their names. In other cases, I name them after musicians I admire.
