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!!)

Now...on to the new names...you still thinking of any yet? We are on pins and needles. That picture makes me smile each time I scroll by it.

First, a word from the litter:

MINE is not in this picture..he is busy elsewhere, runnng around like a demented slot car.
I am getting frantic...this is going to be a long two weeks!

Well, no real ideas yet because I have not gotten to know him, but he is the most energetic one of the litter. Since the Cat Lady told me his father is an "Enormous" cat, this should help a little. Since I am so eager, I may go overboard in superlatives, and sicken even the most hard-core cat lover.

Some VERY tenuous ideas:


Magnus
Tiberias
Hadrian
Augustus
Claudius
Vespasian
Titan
Atlas
Zeus
Grendel
Thor
Nightway (Healing ceremony..JUST what I need...)

Normally, when I know them the names jump right in....like a wanderer years ago, was "Gypsy" when she showed up.
