She’s tiny, a calico with thumbs and right now DeHusband and I are arguing about a name. I want to call her Pyewacket. He wants to call her Sally.

Calliopie. Dunno why, but that’s what came to mind when I saw her. You could still use the nickname Calli if you wanted to, also. ---

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee! For some reason Emily came to mind. I love the name Pyewacket but none of my cats have ever been named that. Sally, not so much. She’s much too exotic looking to be a Sally. ---

You’ve got one supporter for “Pyewacket”, if only cos I had a girlfriend once with a cat of that name. There’s always Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca the Third (but you can call her Dot)… ---

When I was little, we had a calico kitten, I named it Calli-Sue. No idea why. I would name it that, but I’m sure you won’t 😉 (also, who else came in expecting a game where we read descriptions of famous cats and try to guess who they are?) Brendon Small I can’t lie. The real reason I posted was to talk about the famous cat game… ---
