awwwwwww what a cool lookin little dude you got there! I think Cheeto would be a great name, too.
He’s so cute! It makes me just want to scoop him up and huff him! I mean, as Oscar Wilde said, “I love those orange ones - they let me see through my hand.”
(But I don’t do that anymore. Honest. I really don’t. As far as you know.)
Thanks for the responses, all. I know he looks orange in those pictures, but he is in fact kind of beige, almost yellow. The girlfriend wants to call him Tigger, but I’m still leaning towards Atreyu or Orion.
Anyway, here are a few more pics of thenewguy (that’s me holding him in the last one) and, because I know what fans you all are of kitty pics, here’s a few of his bigbrotherLoki.
I’d call him Chester, but my mom’s already got a year old white Himalayan with that name. I was also thinking of calling him Leo, since we had an orange kitty with that name when I was a kid who died about a year ago. Maybe his official name could be Leo II, like Snowball II from The Simpsons.
It’s a little outside the box, but I suggest Sunset, because he has that round face (especially in that first pic) and his coloring immediately made me think of a sunset.
Barring that, I think you couldn’t go wrong with either of the above suggested, Bartleby or Cheeto.
I suggest Peaches. My dearly departed Peaches (who looked very much like your little guy, and who also managed to break his leg when he was a kitten, probably during his favorite trick of walking along the tops of the hangers in my closet) was also a boy, and he did not seem to have any qualms having an arguably feminine name.
For years prior to getting him, I had advanced the self-fulfilling prophecy that I would someday have an orange tiger-striped cat, and that cat would be called Peaches.
I actually found a stray kitten today, he came into the shop and was walking up and down the counter all day. So, I didnt actually find him, but I did find a home for him, with the tenants of a house I own. They love him! Not sure what they’ll call him…As long as they dont call him lunch… :eek:
