Yo! Opal! My daughter named her kitten after you!

Well, she didn’t exactly name the kitten after you (after all, she’s only three years old and doesn’t read The Dope yet - give her another year - so she doesn’t know who The OpalCat is), but she did decide to call him Opal. That’s right. The kitten is a boy and she’s calling him Opal. :smack:

We picked him up from the shelter this past Saturday, and on the ride home I asked Lil Kate what she wanted to name her new kitten. She thought about it for a while then asked me if the kitten was a boy or a girl. I told her it is a boy. She thought for about five seconds and said, “His name is Opal. Opal the Cat.” So now I periodically hear this little voice call out, “Heeeere OpalCat, heeeeere boy! C’mere!”
:wink:

Say “hi” for me.

I do believe sickingly cute pics are in order.

Come on, cough 'em up like a bad hairball. :smiley:
I could use another dose of sweets. :slight_smile:

That’s nothin’. Amy Lowell named a poem after her :smiley:

Nary a worry, I will post the required sickeningly adorable cute pics as soon as I get a chance. :smiley:

Yay!
Kitten pics are on the way! :cool:
