Or Felicity, since she’s a girl. “The state of being happy.”

She’s a serious little thing, isn’t she? Adorable. 🙂

Congratulations on your new tiny overlord. 🙂

I now have kitten envy.

She’s so tiny I’d have to call her Morsel.

Same here. I’m not prone to using that word, but the first thing I thought was ‘‘Look at the little puddin’!’’

I suppose just naming her “Squeeeeee!” is out of the question? Too cute! We had a black-and-white cat when I was a kid who we called DoubleStuf. We got him when he was nearly grown and he was way too big to be called Oreo.

Felicity (as mentioned upthread) would be a nice name too!

Given how the black on the front legs accents them…how about Elbow(s)?

She looks like she’s dressed up for a formal occasion, with long white gloves.

The name Minx popped into my head for some reason.

Also, Cecelia (AKA Cecil) would be nice.

That kitty is **Morgan** , no doubt about it.

OMG. “Morsel” is a perfectly fantastic name for a kitten. That’s just awesome.

Perfect for a kitten, but what about when she’s a huge, fat and lazy beast, Morsel might not be the best name.

My first thought (after _SQUEE!_, of course) was Mouse. That morphed into Annette, as in Funicello, the most famous ‘Mouse’.

So, Annette.

</div>

I’m voting for “Morsel” because if she grows up to be huge, it can be shortened to “More”! 🙂

I’m terrible with cat names. My two cats are literally named, Kitten and Cat-head.

But she looks like a, “Scabbers,” to me. Soooo cute!!!

I gotta go with “Squee”.
