As I’ve mentioned in a few threads already, last Saturday we put [Scooby](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TwDrAhwYZ8eo*Q5ALVOQJ9pzFOiQVsN76PiYTLkBzK*A30nINmAWqByiwmo8kbv3mI2Z64zYHHxWgt9mD5adZUSG6QKf6ETDNltvgYYpDuTQpLUCw616wA/Picture%20194.jpg?dc=4675513059263499585) to sleep. He was sick, old (11ish), and it was his time. Tuesday I took our chow [Doc](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TwAZAxsYKceo*Q5ALVOQJwPbbIR0A6aSdtT6NJErtO88eYHq0yPmq9wMQ!8OYVsmJ2P!HrBSIEaHrheTMjuZKsdnZhXPjxzGJYc0DMzVbD8eF17MzDqbnA/Picture%20463.jpg?dc=4675525364958273483) to the vet’s office. The vet’s office had free kittens. I am weak. ☹ . . . 😃 Anywho, I picked out [this](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0VQDrAuwaYajqaQH49BiklSQ6tbURTnxnzlmgMBxHOcjL4RlotKa2KTpHEw5N83vUEF6T9MBwGtSmyPByyxjsVkRuLXrtSRUckGR64bFF8Agg4utCIW3KGA2MlZXyo!rH/Meow.jpg?dc=4675540120801157308) [little](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0XgDrAkwd9ISo*Q5ALVOQJ70550Jr3ytfkCLcb3VPvseO*OeUFerrSgTc*1O562Pkl4uZFnrZXRdmunrAzKSMk6YdKPf7leANa43aVKusWRwQjzilZkHfQGjdrOsDOB0SUCiEXkvb9FE/Picture%20140.jpg?dc=4675540281368185160) [fella](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0XgCbAk0dRIWo*Q5ALVOQJ9B0A9bEu6sO0RRXRmEiMy6IwdOe68kX*NO4fJlmQHH!HYESpAMackcIBK2VD7oxzFFtIRMTPbz4ux4mbR1BqqrAZN5IMSPN1llMN6O*1sbtwtPCpVtl644/Picture%20141.jpg?dc=4675540281385932919). For the last day or so, I have been calling [him](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0XgDrAk4dlIWo*Q5ALVOQJ6Af0IpM9ZpepT6dpt!GbM25futRG4dahXwZEEmcUf3!e1RxWjx6hhWaO!SyqiJP*8LNYRswFPVnfkxDzqSfgZNLLxKm35Zrz4E1PjkkD9yJzsf*VNjF0Oo/Picture%20142.jpg?dc=4675540281407434798) “[Chairman Meow II](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0XgAAAE8d5IWo*Q5ALVOQJwYgMOBLaK5Za1K1u1a0MgbL5R2PiUZTtaywx*WWbE!sKdmOjWt1YOG8AkscR41icgOpXbTiazdjOzsvAhHA0N8DGuicSEdlpDzAeJCoCk22vUY9hIJ3KuQ/Picture%20143.jpg?dc=4675540281425801351)” in remembrance of [Chairman Meow the First](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TwDrAhoY3sao*Q5ALVOQJ8RW3rLsQ!bS3jsiR5q45y8XpDuNensA!Qvfo*qvSTde!ifFzJAxl7VbZM7U58s7HpRjz8YF8LNLc3Cq!bcXt*hZZwMKxB5MkA/Picture%20129.jpg?dc=4675506990720982171), who has gone on to better places (I like the name. It’s funny. What?). Unfortunately, [this](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0XgCbAlAdNIao*Q5ALVOQJ2EZMdulaeD8Ghpa6aI83wJusJ4uVUGFt5vz0xwrRrJ*LEU9q5QawDULkEIlhoM1bRrcC8NzBaqqg4MJls8tdahvs6boz0k7gvvuFgu6etYyWYjSzr37VP0/Picture%20144.jpg?dc=4675540281445664779) [lovely little](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0XgDrAlEdhIao*Q5ALVOQJ*aBqFMC228qgqmMq2ULpkGTb8JuxhSHemMQ1cwMfiHK44hc9lsxtkd3*TxP2moUmZipEzcwO0Dn18etduHXFhaOg8Tjx1*W4FHIeeCp2SK5bf**ZMvXGeM/Picture%20145.jpg?dc=4675540281459106436) [devil](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0XgCXAlId1Iao*Q5ALVOQJ7OdqD3XB*o*zTYOL78cICZNKZYhX2vZgu4g8ywmDKdh9ghhvzf6MFQpPloEi*vQtzymwKYuCp9gM0oupHM5j0CkXN9857BIXZ9F7KeGUcfTX0u3PbbPHOg/Picture%20146.jpg?dc=4675540281476556729) 😉 does not seem like a Chairman Meow. Quite frankly, he is entirely too laid back for world domination. So we must find him a new name. He is spunky. Needy (but in his defense, he is a 6 week old baby). Anal retentive\*. And absolutely adorable. I like funny names (hence the Chairman Meow) or at the very least different or cool names. Any ideas on what to name [my new buddy](http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0XgCbAlQddIeo*Q5ALVOQJ!F1*OUpEjPSZn9DgPREMTO*frTTbNkzXU5A8!OfZyif4TJKvBqMDU5*Mrf0fwXlRB8lZQVUqa1fTVCpldA6t!LrhmCJQTYklb1emrLmV2FoyaqOj4umjU8/Picture%20148.jpg?dc=4675540281504469244)? \*I laid a towel out- perfectly folded- for him to lay on. He then took each corner, quite carefully, and pulled it just right into the middle of the towel. He made himself a tent. Then he tried to drag my pillow into his tent, but it was too heavy 😃 . ---

If you give him a couple of days, he may let you know what his name is. Or it may just “come to you” as my Crickets did. ---

Damn you, **Diosa**! Now I’m pining for a baby kitten. My husband looked at your pics and was giggling like a schoolgirl saying, “Look at those lugs! Look at his paws! He’s a fuzzball!” Now he wants to trade our fully-grown and unfun Norm and Mojo in for a couple kittens. The first thing that came to mind was not a name, but “Awwww…” Probably not a suitable name. I love the ones where his little tail is sticking straight up! How cute! I think Oliver would be a great name. Or maybe Murray. ---

My hubby suggested “Moggy” which is UK slang for cat. I know you’re looking for funny names, but I just can’t think of any. I like to give names that I like, but would never burden my future child with. Hence, “Norman.” What about: Walter Clancy Ralphie Alfred Harold George Albert And of course: **CECIL** ---

See, people, **this** is how you do kitten posts. Take notice. Niblet. His name shall be Niblet. I read that name from some other poster right here on our boards and have loved it ever since - next cat I get will be called Niblet. Niblet. Learn it, love it, live it. And he’s adorable. ---
