I am getting a kitten!!

[Willow7733]

Just thought I would post a happy event. I live alone - moved to the city I live in now for work at a local hospital. No friends or family. So, thought maybe rescuing a kitten would be good for me! I don't know what to name her. She is 8 weeks. I was thinking Rain (but spelled Rayne)? My co workers suggested Fraya, Shade, or Kate. Lol

[Tiggywoos]

ah Willow she is gorgeous !!!! I had one like this many years ago look at those gorgeous chunky paws 🐾! I think Rayne is lovely but how fitting would “shade” be bearing in mind we do have to be in the shade ! Sending you big hugs and trust me your bundle of joy will be the biggest bestest time thief ever ! 🥰

[Willow7733 in reply to Tiggywoos]

I was thinking Shadow, but a lot of pets are called that..and her grey and white...so Shade came to mind. I was thinking Rain because I got her last weekend, and couldn't go pick her up because we were having the tail end of a tropical storm and the rain was so bad ! I live in Canada, in New Brunswick, but the kitten is on Prince Edward Island, and when we get high winds and torrential rain they close the bridge.

Morning Willow7733

What an absolute cutie so adorable.

She will give you many many hours of pleasure.

I think Rayne is a great name.

Sending you big hugs 🤗

[stiff19]

adorable and will be great company 🥰 how about an autumn name seeing as thats where we are, amber or pumpkin 🥰 Aki which is Japanese meaning autumn but love Wayne too, whatever name you choose she's lovely and will bring much love and joy xx

[Willow7733 in reply to stiff19]

I love those names!! I am having a hard time deciding.

[stiff19 in reply to Willow7733]

im sure whichever you pick will be grand , my lovely dog came to me with the name frank, nice as it goes 🤷‍♀️ but it doesn't suit him and I cant change it because he knows it so well so we call him frank when talking to him but we call him beans (beanie baby, because hes intact) or my daughter calls him Romeo (because he runs off and she says where for art though Romeo 😂😂😂😂)

[stiff19 in reply to stiff19]

oops rayne

I adore cats and she looks wonderful. They give just the right amount of gentle attention and I find one on my lap one of the most calming things. Kittens often take time to become lappy as they are too occupied having the zoomies or sleeping. We rescued one who was 1 year old and she's taken a year to become lappy.

I have always named cats after a character trait, busy lizzie became Lizzie, etc. Rayne is indeed a super name, perhaps she will reign supreme. Perhaps take joy in finding out all her little characteristics and go from there! I wish you joy with her, they are a true gift. x

Beautiful kitten. Grey & white. Pets are great. I have a hamster called Sidney. He makes me laugh. He fell over the other day. Got up quickly, as if he didn’t want me to see his embarrassment. Got covered in sawdust! I think you should name your kitten Barbara, or Susan. I just think it’s funny giving pets human names. That’s just my sense of humour! I would like to get a dog. Then call him Steve or Dave. When he’s off his lead, running. I would just shout out his name & men would turn round. Thinking i was calling them. Quite amusing. Good luck with the kitty training.

[Willow7733 in reply to Vixen2]

That is so cute! I have always wanted a dog. If male, I would call him Floyd. But, I work in nursing, and my hours are long. Having a dog now wouldn't be good for the dog. I need a pet that can stay home alone for 8 hours or so. My mother said to get a fish. - ummm no. Lol

[Vixen2 in reply to Willow7733]

🤣🤣 I agree. A fish? Is just too boring. You can’t get a good conversation from a fish. You can’t take it for walks. With a cat, a dog or a hamster. At least they can sort of communicate. My Sid often squeeks with me. I’m not sure if he’s telling me to go away. Or if he’s saying ‘good morning’. It’s just funny when he ‘decides’ to answer me. I’m going to say something rather rude. (Enjoy your pussy!) 🤣

my little one was called Alvy Singer (toy poodle) after my dad who’d passed — he was Alvin.

And the main character in one of my favourite films (Annie Hall) is Alvin “Alvy” Singer.

Alvy passed away in April 2022. Was the light of my life. My everything. My very sweet, funny, dear boy.

I wish you so much joy and good health with this furbabe

def a Rosie 😁😁❤️❤️

[JerrysGirl3]

make sure a cat carrier is on top of your list with this crazy weather.

[Willow7733 in reply to JerrysGirl3]

I have it all ready with toys and a soft blanket. I go pick her up tomorrow at 10 am.

[JerrysGirl3 in reply to Willow7733]

Enjoying the name ideas. My cat is called Emily Dickinson. Just a thought: if the kitten is going to be left for long periods each day it might be worth considering getting a second kitten so that they can entertain and provide company for each other.

A few name suggestions:

Annie

Bubble

Chilli

Daphne

Esme

Freda

Georgie

Hetty

Inky

Jessie

Kenzie

Lily

Molly

Nala

Olive

Polly

Ruby

Saffy

Tillie

Vera

Wanda

Xena

Zelda

Best of luck x

Willow

She is gorgeous and I think Rayne is a lovely name.

[Pumpkin2009]

Willow, She is absolutely adorable. I have a male cat whose birthday is Halloween and is named Pumpkin. He is my soul mate. I also have a border collie named Gigi for Good Girl. She just turned up and we called her good girl as we didn't know her name. She had run away from illegal breeder so we bought her to save her from that life. She is a true joy.

I am sure that your new kitty will bring you so much love and companionship. I truly believe my fur babies help us get through life's challenges. Lots of good name suggestions to choose from. I do like Rayne. She will love whatever you name her.

Healing hugs and many purrs.

[JerrysGirl3]

how is kitty doing ? Did you choose a name ?? ❤️❤️❤️😊😊

[Willow7733 in reply to JerrysGirl3]

I drove 3 hours to go get her, and when I got there, I was told she was adopted by someone else. 😢

[JerrysGirl3 in reply to Willow7733]

Oh. My. God 😭😭 I am so sorry. What a terrible thing to do. My daughter in CA was sort of in a bait and switch but the dog she ended up with was like her second soul. ❤️. Had you met the kitten before ? I just don't know what's wrong with people. You must be heartbroken. I'm really really sorry 😔💔but know there IS a kitten with your name on it. And you will find it and fall in love all over again. 😊 isn't that the nature of kittens ? ❤️❤️

[Willow7733 in reply to JerrysGirl3]

I was very angry and heartbroken. I took the day off to go get her. It was a 3 hour drive one way. But, maybe I will find one next year. It wasn6meant to be I guess.

[JerrysGirl3 in reply to Willow7733]

My heart weeps for you but one day you will see a kitten walk up to you dirty and bedraggled and you will pick her up and that rock in your heart will shatter and you will have the love of your life in your arms. Hang in there. It will happen. In more ways than one. One day at a time 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
