I have a funny story about black kittens- one day when i was volunteering at mewtopia a while back, we got in a littler of 5 solid black kittens. It was high kitten season, and we were clear out of names...So we named them:

Inkspot #1, Inkspot #2, Inkspot #3, Inkspot #4 and Inkspot #5

Everyone thought it was so hysterical, that when the kittens were adopted into their new homes, their owners kept their names, lol

Ah crud...I haven't figured out how to insert quotes yet...

Cinder & Fella is very cute Laureen!

I like Mischief & Madness too, but that would end up as Missy and Maddie around here. (uhm...are they girls????)

Yes, we need pictures.

Just press the quote button at the bottom of the post you want to quote, and add your comments at the end.

And no, they're boys.

LOL...sorry guys it was a crazy night. I've taken a bunch of pictures but I haven't had the chance to get them uploaded. I love the names you guys have....I had a giggle at Char & Coal too....you can tell I haven't had caffeine this morning (it took me a minute to get that!).

I've had a tough time deciding...but I think since I'm trying to go with B names I'm going with Bogey & Bandit.


BUT: I have a new task for you guys!! I have 5 female dilute torties (3 weeks old...PICTURES COMING SOON!) that need to be named. I was hoping to have the names start with C and maybe involve sweets/candy (i.e. cinnamon, coco...ummm.....lol)

I will leave this task in your guys hands.

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!

Here are all the other "C" words I could find that refer to something sweet:
Candy, Caramel, Chantilly, Charlotte, Cherry, Chiffon, Cider, Clementine, Cola, Cookie, Cranberry, Crystal, Cupcake

Personally, I like Candy, Cinnamon, Coco, Cookie, and Cupcake.

Those are awesome! I knew you guys you come up with some for me!!!!
I might take one of those names for the mamma too!

And I promise as soon as I find my cable I'll get some pictures of the little puffballs (and Bandit and Bogey).

To add to Tari's 'C' list:
Foods: Coffee, Cardamon, Clove, Currant, Confectionery,
Less well known foods: Comfit (spices, dried fruits, or nuts, coated with sugar candy), Cajeta (a Mexican confection of caramelized milk), Cocoplum (tropical fruit used mainly in jams)
Not foods:Capri (perfume or the island), Carthusia (perfume)


Five C names - and torties often have a lot of red (orange) on them (can't wait to see pics, this would be much easier!). My own selections will go with the colour theme and sweet food theme.

I like:
Cinnamon, Coffee, Chantilly, Comfit and Cajeta



Are any of them calicos (tortie with white) rather than tortie w/o white? Chantilly, after the cream, would be very pretty for her.

[Ok, Coffee isn't always sweet, but it is used as a flavouring in sweet things or sweetened before drinking, and fits in with my percieved colour theme.]

Their coloration is hard to explain. They look like dilute torties but they are mostly grey (varying shades) with just the occasional splotch of cream (this is why i'm having trouble telling them apart).

For ex: there is a light gray one with a spotch of cream on the back of her head, and another with a cream exclamation mark on her face and one cream back food. The mom is a solid gray DLH so they are all puffballs. I'll definitely try and get the pics up tonight!!!

I definitely love the came Clementine for the momma cat...she is such a darling even though someone threw her out (with 5 kittens) to starve to death. SHe is skin and bones but will try and nurse and eat at the same time so as not to deprive her babies. And she loves a good scritch!!

it just
me that some people think kitties can be thrown away when you're done with them.....grrrrrrr

Poor love!

My prayers go with her and her kits.

I can't wait to see pics - btw your description is making me think that they may not be torties at all. (I love grey cats though too).

Well I promised pictures....here's a few to start with (i'll get some more shrunk down this weekend and posted!)

Here's Bogey & Bandit on their way for vaccinations and deworming...poor guys!


and inhaling dinner (as usual!)


These guys were on their best behaviour and curled up happily on their backs purring for whoever wanted to pet them!!

And my foster puffballs.....momma has been christened Clementine (she is darling!). Babies names are still up in the air! (sorry...i can't seem to get all five in a pic at once!)




and this last one is the bravest of the bunch...she's already discovered wet food...and stands in the middle of the plate chowing down on it!


So what's the verdict?? Are they all dilute torties?? So far everyone I've been able to check is female (there's one momma's baby who won't come out from hiding behind mom!)
