Kitten Interview Day!, Hoping for a new Special Friend. Options

[Jon730]

Today was the day. The local kittens are six weeks old, and I was finally invited to interview them.
As I had hoped, one chose me. He left the pile of kittens in the basket, ran up my leg and sat on my shoulder, when I said, "OK! Who wants to win the lottery? I have an opening for a CAT!"
He will remain with his mother for a couple of weeks more, yet, then right to the Vet, and home.



Names, names. Because he is a Tuxedo Cat, I wanted to name him "Linux", as in , but this was vetoed by my niece, who said, "If you name him after some Geek Operating System, I'll never talk to you again!".OK.
His father is a HUGE cat, so maybe:
Dreadnaught?
Catapotamus?
Magnus?
A friend suggested "Hiram". I made a wisecrack about him teaching the cat a certain Handshake, and we left it at that.

This requires more thought. I am grateful for the two weeks.

Because for the last few decades I have always rescued "Used Cats", I had not seen kittens for a long time. I must have laughed nonstop for fiteen minutes! I needed it, because of course there will always be an empty place from Miles.
A whole basket full of clowns who have had WAY too much coffee!
This is his proud godmother, the Employee of the Mother Cat..(Who will be spayed thereafter! A limited time litter offer!!)

Oh, Jon....................he is absolutely adorable! And he REALLY sat on your shoulder? How perfect is that? Sounds to me as though YOU passed the interview

Okay, I understand your feeling about Linux since I understand computers.. but if your niece vetoed that one..what did she suggest?

Naming kittens was never my strong point...Witness my 3...Little Guy, Little Girl, and Keeper.
But the names fit and felt comfortable.

So I guess you can see his personality for a name, or his looks, or what you feel like calling him when you see him. At least you have a couple of weeks to think about it. And, you may get some good suggestions here to ponder.

The important thing is you are going to have him with you soon.......it is really exciting. One cannot look at his picture without just grinning from ear to ear! My 3 had a huge daddy cat that I saw one time and the boys were good-sized but I always thought of them as my teddy bears with their long-haired fur. How about Black Bart? Sounds dangerous, don't you think? That just popped into my mind. You could call him BB for short.

I love your "interviews". You obviously have a winner and what a winner!

When you get him, take lots of pictures. We want to see this baby boy again and again.
I am so very happy for you, Jon. This news is just perfect. Thank you so much for sharing!
