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 ![]() 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!!) ![]() -------------------- Miles, my friend and Cat-Wife. 3-11-2008

Jon: That Formal Show Stance picture is really priceless. It looked to me like he was so cute I wanted to say he has a button nose...the kind you like to touch. How about Buttons?
Jasper? Does he look like a Jasper? Does it sound right to you? It sounded like you were introducing him as Jaguar.... I know Bogart wore a tuxedo but when I think of one...I think of the old Fred Estaire movies..how about Freddie? May15th? What a darling you have found, Jon. Your kitten Interview was everyone was at the right place at the right time and it felt right. How perfect is that? You could also search the www.petfinders.com on the Internet and see the names Tuxedos have gotten..maybe one of them will remind you of something. I have one..when I think of a kitten...I think of the energy and as you have seen from Ken's Elvira and Ellen...,they love to get into mischief. How about calling him Mischief? I'll bet he lives up to that name. ![]() Judy -------------------- LITTLE GUY - May 28, 1991 - Sept 10, 2007 - Always in my Heart.
