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!!)

PS.: what about the "Vienna Boys`Choir" ?
i have no idea, i could do a little research, since i am living in Vienna
something to do with "neutered" ??

It is used as a euphamism, because the Vienna choir is so well known but actually, neutered males were once used in Rome in great numbers. Why spend a fortune training a singer, only to have their voice change? I don't think it has to do with them spraying...hahaha.

Bastet is a name I had once considered, but he is a boy cat, and his father is a giant...hence the suggestions like "Titan".

Fifteen more days......
