I propose a compromise: Marabelle.

She has such a pretty little face.

Don’t worry about the name. Sooner or later, she’ll let you know what her name is. There’s no use forcing a name on her, she knows what her name is and will allow you to find out.

Something with an “M” Because of the “M” on her head.

My late cat looked a lot like that, her name; “Muffin”.

Because kitten. 🙂 But I have to agree, even by kitten standards, she is ridiculously adorable. She looks so intelligent and serious and determined to figure things out. Aaack! I am falling in love! My husband is going to be jealous!

I dig Marbles. 🙂

I also, for no reason that I can explain, looked at her photo and had “Piper” pop into my head.

How about Kate?

Her facial structure appears fine, but she looks like she could hold her own when doing battle with her counterparts (you know, the bunnies). Kind of like Katherine Hepburn.

Marbles is cute too!

I think she wants to be called Marbles. Her fur is marbled and her eyes are like two giant marbles.

One of my friends suggested Comfort. I think that’s what I will go with. She is bringing me comfort during a pretty unpleasant time.
