I recently got a new Kitten. She’s small, wirey, good natured, always curious and loves to take off at full sprint at a moments notice. She’s mostly black, with a white smudge on her forhead, white chest and lower jaw, with a small swirled channel of white linking the general areas. White Mittens on her front feet, but the rear feet, the white goes just above the ankle.
We’ve been trying to figure out a name that we can alll agree on, but so far nothing has satifised us all.
“He’s surpised! All kids are suprised! Everything’s new to them!”

Hrm… if she’s black with white on her feet, you could name her ‘socks’.

The perfect kitten name:
“Velcro”

😃_scratches palms_ Got any pictures of the kitty? 😉 What about **Zoom!** for a name? Based on your description that might work, or **Quark** , **Comet** , **Paint** , **Smudge** , **Mystery**? Then there’s always the name “ **Bootsie** ” too. Put up a picture of her if you can.

You could always name her Cthulu 😉

I do have pictures. I just have nowhere to post them online(I’ve never gotten around to building a website).
Actually, the name “Dash” did come up. Guess which movie I saw a couple weeks back?

Our last kitty was named that. My sister came up with it because it sounds like velcro when you pull them off the furniture 😃

Actually, that’s what we’ve been calling her until we get a name for her.
However, it gets confusing at times, because we do have another cat, and we often refer to her as “Kitty”.

[ImageShack](http://www.imageshack.us/) is a good hosting site, they don’t run out of bandwidth like Photobucket seems to do.

It’s a girl kitten though.
I vote for Pompom. You know, like those little pompoms on those short ankle socks.
Shut up.

Thanks for the link. I’ll post a pic or two soon.
I’ve thought of plenty of names, but most of them are boy names.
I have been tempted to called her “Ed”(as in “Radical Edward”)

Okay, I uploaded the images. Sorry they aren’t better. It’s tough taking good photos of a cat.

Dinah is another that has entered my mind.
I think it has something to do with the fact my other cat’s name is Alice…

But if you call her Ed… she might just hack your computers.
Better to name her Faye so she’ll just steal your money and cop an attitude.
