Oh, I'm not getting one. I realize that having four cats would move me past Crazy Cat Lady and land me squarely into Hoarder. But that doesn't mean I don't want another cat.
As I dream about the cat I'm not getting, it makes some sort of twisted sense to decide what I'm not going to call him. Here are the 10 most popular cat names from yourpet.com. I'm not crazy about any of them.*
1) Tiger
2) Smokey
3) Kitty
4) Shadow
5) Tigger
6) Baby
7) Oreo
8) Princess
9) Angel
10) Max
*I don't know what I would name the cat I'm not getting because I'd have to meet him/her first, and since that's not going to happen, choosing a name is really impossible. It does make sense, honest.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
We got our cat from the shelter, already named, "Miss Kitty." Previous owners were apparently not much on imagination.
ReplyDeleteI had a black cat named Onyx, which I thought was pretty cool.
Blah... I don't like those names, either.
ReplyDeleteOh hell, I've had (all at one time) four cats, two guinea pigs and a dog. And I'm not a hoarder. (Well, yes I am but not to that extreme).
ReplyDeleteGet a sweet kitty - you needs one. I says so. (Oh damn, now I've gone into LOL speak)
If Duty lets me get one after Lucie departs, I'm naming it Cookie for obvious reasons. What will you name your kitty?? heh
Do what we do and foster them so you are considered sweet and helpful and not wacko! LOL
ReplyDeleteWe have six
1. Molly
2. Telly
3. Samantha
4. Noah
5. Uncle Sal (perm. foster 16yo diabetic)
