Neighbor across the street has a litter to re-home so we're doing our part!

No name yet, TBH, not even 100% sure on gender, they have a female looking face, but that doesn't mean much at 2 months. LOL.

Don't take her for granite.

It always takes me a few days trying to discover their personality. It’s an important thing. Rather than choosing a name, I feel like I learn who they are and the name becomes organic. Congrats!

I was just rewatching Midsomer Murders and there's a Russian Blue cat - KillMouski.

Name her Safety.

I dunno why, but my roommate is babbling Safety in my ear.

Maybe she's meant to be good luck 🤞

Moodles (idk if this means anything, I just made it up)

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Cute but moodle is an online university learning platform in my country.

[–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago

"Precious" was our evil, psycho, flying cat, oh, 40 years ago now.

She looked like a normal cat, but had a blood lust that would not be contained. In this pic, if you look just past her outstetched paws, you can see the bull fly she was chasing.

[–] pacoboyd@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The fact you caught this pic with a camera from 40 years ago (without burst frames) is pretty dang cool.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

It was easy, the fly was circling the living room and she'd leap into the air every time it was over her head. She had to have done it 15, 16 times in a row.

The hard part was not knowing if I got the shot until the film was developed.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

How about "Clipper"

Floof is already taken by our 3rd cat, whose proper name is Lorelei but, I mean...

fluff, just to be confusing.

[–] mrmule@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Definitely a Derek, I'm a great fan of giving pets regular names.

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 3 points 6 months ago
[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

New fave sub!

I vote we name it kat.
