New Kitten!

Written by Kate. Filed Under animals, cats, kittens

EDIT (Tuesday June 17)

WE HAVE PICKED A NAME (Well I let Scott pick a name, because I named our other cat [Chase])

The cute little black kitten’s name will be:

Co Co Beans Tlastname

Co Co (for short)

Thank you for all your wonderful suggestions, I really liked lots of them, but Scott is a picky man.

Scott and I are the proud owners of a new kitten!
Our friend’s cat had 4 kittens and I some how convinced Scott that it would be a fantastic idea to get another kitten. I’m still wondering how this happened. We have a cute orange cat at home- Chase, of whom you have seen pictures. But I think that cats are happier when there are 2 of them so they can play together! So we got another!

So here is the new addition to our family! He’s been pretty scared so far, so no great pictures. So far he likes to hide under the couch and the bed in the spare room.

I promise I’m not strangling him..

But friends and readers we need your help!

We need a name for our cute black kitten! It- is a boy, and he has a a white patch under his neck, but otherwise he’s totally black.

Any suggestions?

Naming your new black kitten on Friday the 13th. Is that safe?
Denis is constantly coming up with new names for Max. He’s really good with names for cats NOW (although he made ME name Max).

He’s adorable! Is that the flash reflecting in his eyes or are they really blue?

How about Manhatten for a name? Goes well with Chase.

I’m not really sure if his eyes are that blue, I think they are, but I’ll have to look when I get home from work.
I can’t wait to play with him!

Manhattan is cute!

Orange and black? You must call the new one Licorice. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a sudden craving for tiger tail ice cream.

Micaela! Serious suggestions here!
I like Smudge, I had thought of that when naming Max but I got VETO-ed!

I love the name SHADOW for a black cat.
Lauren on June 13th, 2008 4:37 pm

You can’t name it Dragon Baby, because that’s only for orange cats! I can’t wait to meet him!

Aww! He’s cute!
I FAIL at naming animals though, sorry!
Lauren on June 14th, 2008 1:35 am

Aw I love how small he is, and how he hides under the bed and I have to catch him when you shoo him out. I’m going to keep calling him Sludge by the way

I sent Erica lots of suggestions via Twitter yesterday, but I don’t know whether she saw them. Let’s see if I can remember any… Sirius (Black — get it?), Dr. Pepper… Let me think some more.

I really like the Baghria suggestion! But I agree with theme names, and choosing one to go with chase is a good idea. But I have no suggestion that goes with chase:(
How about Noir, like Black in french.
Or…B.K for Black Kitten. hahahahah

I have no idea where that came from!

Good luck with the naming!
Erica on June 16th, 2008 1:03 pm

oooh, one last suggestion from me. Pepper.
mommy on June 16th, 2008 5:17 pm

This is really Lauren:
How about Chase so they BOTH come when you call Chase?
