Topic awaiting preservation: Name the Kitten (Page 1 of 1)

Woman brought home a kitten, a siamese half-breed.

Now, I'm happy because I can't stand our older cat, Phoebe. She's way too nice for the likes of me. She's 13 years old and *never* bite or clawed anybody.

Then again, I'm mad because I told Woman over and over again to get rid of Phoebe before we got another cat. What does Woman do? She walks in with a kitten hoping to tug at my heart strings and then I'll allow both cats to live here. Wrong. I gave her 2 days to get rid of Phoebe or else I would do it redneck-style. In 2 days, Phoebe will be going to the Humane Society.

Sure, I'll miss Phoebe because I'm a pussy lover, but I really can't stand her.

New kitten, queen, 1/2 siamese, 7 weeks old, and in need of a name. She's only been here for about an hour and she's already clawed Chasie twice. The little heathen needs to learn mutual respect with pets, and think this kitten will be the one.

Considering her rocky start over here, I'm thinking Bad Ass Kitty or Jinx. Definitely a title, but that will come later, like Jinx the Bad Ass. (Our last siamese was Jingo the Fat Ass.)

Would like some more suggestions. Maybe something Greek. Or maybe something in Russian or Norse. Maybe even Icelandic.

As her perosnality reveals itself, I'll let ya'll know for a more fitting name.

Oh - make that 3 scratches. Sounds like she got her really good this time.

DL, this is a kitten - not a turtle.

edit:
Damn, actually drew some blood this time.
Hopefully the Little Heathen will learn sooner than later.

Please don't do either. You're not the only one in the house. How'd you feel about someone doing either to a cat you did like?

Ya...that's incredibly lame.

I'm the one that takes care of this house. When I comes to pets, I have set down several rules. The one that applies here is: if you want a pet, then you take are of it. I don't like Phoebe, but I'm the one that cleans her box, feeds her, waters her, cleans up her puke, and gives her medication. I'm not taking care of two cats in this house because of Woman. If I'm going to take care of another cat, it's my decision - not hers. She has her fish, she takes care of them, and that's fine. She used to have a hamster, she took care of it, and that was fine. But if it doesn't fit in a tank, she falters. I absolutely will not allow her to add to my responsibilities. Absolutely not.

When I had Lokki, you bet your sweet bippy I took care of my cat.

The same thing applies to a lot of things around here.

She knows the rules and she broke them. She's had plenty of time to make other arrangements and work with me on this, but she chose to go behind my back. Now she's going to have to deal with my foot.

If you want a 13 year old cat that pukes 5 times a day and needs medication, I'll gladly put her in a box and meet you out front.

edit:
Lady Dame Athena... I'm liking that one.

edit2:
My apologies for that outburst.

If this is not a turtle, and it's rather hungry, Shredder might suit it well

warjournal, it's not a question of whether or not "Woman" broke the rules - it's about how totally lame it is to provide for something for an extended period of time and then just boot it out of the house.

Ever been dumped?
Ever been dumped when you're old and not in perfect health?

It's more than violating the golden rule, it's violating the golden rule plus a side-order of betrayal.

Cats are known to do incredible well if tehre are 2 in a household. When the owners are out they have someone to socialize with. I personally would never own more or less than 2 cats at a time.

Well, I respect your postion, WJ. I'm sure you have a better angle on it then we do.

I will refrain from passing judgement based on that.

How about Fury for a name?

Maybe you should kick "Woman" out of the flat and keep the cats, that way there won't be any more rules broken

But seriously folks, how about a Greek or Roman God name for the cat, like Athena or Odin, or er... Vegas?

Here are:

Dame Guenevere of Avalon
Gerseme or Edda Drumba-Kumba

Totrughypja, Arrinnefja, Eikintjasna, kkvinkalfa

We finally named our cat, we've named her "Rabbit" and while she's a kitten it'll be "Bunny" so it works out good. Why not call yours Turtle or Toise.

well, if you want a cool name, you could try "bichano" (bee-cha-noo) which is what portuguese call all cats. As in
"here kitty kitty kitty". In portuguese it would be "aqui bichano bichano bichano". The female version is "bichana" (bee-cha-na)

Phoebe could be used to finance the new kitten?!?!?!?

Holy shit. I totally forgot all abou this. Is my ADD showing?

They ganged up on me and decided on Jinx. Kind of sucks naming a cat after a crappy Hanna Barbera cartoon. Then there was that one cat in that one movie that was toilet trained. I wouldn't call it a common name, but it has been used for cats before. The suck part is that when I get mad at her, I call her Jingo, a siamese we used to have. I guess kind of fitting since Jinx is half siamese.

Jinx is a real trouble maker. Very frisky and likes to climb. When she's in the mood to play, she's going to play damn it. Could't tell you how man times she's chewed on my toes in the middle of the night. Or how many times she's clawed Chasie's feet and hands.

She's got two really nasty habits that I'm having a hard time breaking her of. She likes to shit behind our computer desks, and she likes to try to get food right off of our plates. I've chased her, swatted her, and yelled at her, but she keeps going for it.

My only other complaint is that she's not rough enough for me. She's frisky alright, but not rough. I want a cat that fights back no matter how hard I come at it. Makes me miss Lokki something fierce because she was my perfect cat. Lokki was ruthless, fearless, and brutal. Man we tore each other up. One time she literally jumped on my face and raked my cheeks with her hind claws. I miss her.

So, Jinx is a trouble maker and not rough enough for my tastes.

We still have Phoebe and she absolutely hates Jinx. Both of them drive me about as nuts as Chasie does by herself. Women spends 5 minutes alone with them (Phoebe, Jinx, Chasie, and Vannah) and she's ready to commit suicide. Damn mad house this is. I can't help but laugh sometimes because those 5 minutes are very indicitive of how my whole day goes.

"Are they always like this?"

"Absolutely."

I guess the good thing is that Woman has a new found appreciation for what I do and go through. I just hope it's over before I go completely insane. If I don't snap in the 2-1/2 years, I should be okay. Maybe someday I'll tell ya'll about my days with Chasie and the cats.

Anyways,
- kitten is Jinx
- Phoebe is still here

Hang in there, WJ! I'm rootin' for ya!!

And yeah, hell yeah, there's nothing like a cat that won't back down - I had one that I picked up in Australia. Half wild thing, took me 3 months to half-tame it (setting food out, then moving a chair outside, and stitting about 30 feet from the food, and then slowly moving the chair closer, week after week, getting the cat used to my presence).

After 6 months, she would actually let me pet her...to a point. And sometimes, she'd get that funny look in her eye, and you knew what was coming. All of a sudden, claws and teeth!

Hehe...

That cat used to hiss at me...and I mean a full, nasty hiss, with the ears laid back, and everything!

And at night, you didn't dare move your toes...BAM! I can remember coming wide awake at night, with a furry fury on my foot! Man, that cat could bite!

She used to bring rabbits home...never had a cat do that before. Her front teeth were gone (the small ones, the uppers and lowers) - knocked out by the ferocity of her bite, I guess.

Her name was Toppers - shortened from High-top, because she had four white feet, that went half-way up her legs, just like high-top sneakers.

She died from cancer.

I miss that cat.

Novo Victus

Yes, I'm a sucker. Maybe even pussy whipped.

Web, sounds like my kind of cat. I love rough-n-tumble with felines.

Someday I'll adobt a wild cat with matted fur, a chewed ear, and a crooked tail. Not just to play with, but so I can name it Raunchy. I want a wild cat named Raunchy.

I've only known one cat to take down rabbits. A bud's cat named Bandit. Mellow cat and not really that big, but a hell of a hunter. Rabbits, shrews, moles.

Speaking of feet and markings, Jinx's feet are white like she's wearing booties. My father in-law mentioned it and another name came to mind: Achilles. Would have made a damn fine name for Jinx.

Achillies' Jinx the Desert Shithead
Hmm . . . still not quite right.

Should have called it Dave.

I knew a guy who had 3 rabbits as a child and called tehm all Dave. When I knew him he had a fish tank and all the fish were called Dave too.

It makes things simpler

if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

^^ I'd like a cat license for my pet cat Eric... etc etc

Woman has around 30 guppies in a 5 gallon tank. After hearing about the Dave thing, the little one decided to name all of the guppies Quality Dairy. She's an odd one alright. You should hear some of her Freudian slips. Actually, both of my girlies slip on occassion.

Chasie: Winnie the Kooch.
Vannah: Polish your camel-toe.

I'm glad they have my sense of humour, but I fear the day they get into trouble and drag me into it. But I suppose there are worse things to fear with daughers.
