The naming of Kittens

 

 

Our old cat has kittens three -
what do you think their names should be!

One is tabby with emerald eyes,
and a tail that's long and slender,
and into a temper she quickly flies
if you ever by chance offend her.
I think we shall call her this -
I think we shall call her that -
Now, don't you think that pepperpot
is a nice name for a cat?

One is black with a frill of white,
and her feet are all white fur,
if you stroke her she carries her tail upright
and quickly begins to purr.
I think we shall call her this -
I think we shall call her that -
Now, don't you think that sootikin
is a nice name for a cat?

One is tortoiseshell yellow and black,
with plenty of white about him;
if you tease him, at once he sets up his back,
he's a quarrelsome one, ne'er doubt him.
I think we shall call him this -
I think we shall call him that -
Now, don't you think that scratchaway
is a nice name for a cat?


Thomas Hood (1799 - 1845)

Here are the names of my cats

Tommi  - the 

Sam - my gipsy
Franz - the oldest (24 years old) and the king of all of them
Lisa - the lazy cat
Luna - coloured like the moon with yellow eyes, she is so thankfull I took her to my home
Lilly - my little hobbit
Mousy - the rascal 
Emma - the cuddliest of all of them
Minnie - the Diva 
Frida - my kitchen assistent, she loves potatoes most and knows every recipe for potatoes .. 

Right at this moment they are here beside me - 
Tommi, Lisa and Minnie sitting on a chair
Sam and Lilly sitting on my lap
the rest of them sitting on the floor, watching me. And they know all of your works - they know all the wonderful pictures AND the stories ... I can't resist reading out loud. 

I'm glad to have them around ...  and I'm glad having you around

I absolutely love cats and hope to one day have several of them. Right now I have none. The laws in my condo forbid it, and I couldn't afford it anyways. :(

Fingers crossed for you and your future cats! Cats are amazing - they are all so different and they know exactly whether you're feeling sad or happy. They love you everytime ... *hugs you, don't worry - maybe sometimes you'll get your cats*

You have quite a group of cats. I have only one, but she is my boon companion. I love the cat poem too.

I think your Luna is the most beautiful cat I've ever seen.

I could not resist this entry!

Cats are a blessing! Cats are magic! Cats are wonderful companions of life.

You have such a beatiful buch of cats! I'd like to know them, one by one, tell them they are so lucky to have found you. But they already know, don't they?
And you read for them and they listen? That's absolutely lovely.

*Hugs you and all your cats*

Oh, yes ... this entry ... I am so in love with my cats. Cats are magic, my next one's name will be Gandalf *giggles*
It's wonderful to come home, to wake up, prepare dinner ... they are always there. And they listen AND understand.

*calls cats to snuggle with you*
