I’d go with Leela, too. My one-eyed cat was originally called Popeye, but I’ve taken to just calling him Pi. ---

I must also vote for Leela. It looks good on her (she looks pretty spunky). ---

Awwwwwwwww. Get her a little kitty eyepatch. That would be so cool. If she’s an outdoor cat howabout Captin Sparrow? That’s what she’s out there hoping to kill after all. My Catherine Bastet lost her eye in the last years of her life. She did very well. I’d love to be the equal of 80 years old, one eyed, and still make an acurate leap to a perch three feet vertical. ---

Polyphemus is the ONLY name that you can give the kitty. ---

I had a pet pheasant when I was a kid who only had one eye. I named him One-Eyed Willie. ---

She is a beautiful and lucky cat, whatever you name her. I’d vote for “Poppy,” the feminine of “Popeye,” of course! ---

Any decisions on what the one eyed kitty’s name is? Has she told you yet? I still like Admiral Nelson. ---

[QUOTE=Shirley Ujest] Any decisions on what the one eyed kitty’s name is? [/QUOTE] Thank you everyone for your ideas and well wishes! I have to say that so far we’re going with **dahfisheroo** ’s idea: Peekaboo and we’ll call her boo. Guin’s suggestion of Leela was good, but I haven’t been a Futurama fan since Jurassic Bark. :mad: ---
