Cat!

[thetofupirate]

I have a cat!

She's supercute, and affectionate (a little meow-y, but I think it's just the adjusting).

Currently her name is Cat Face (what kind of a loser names their cat Cat Face? Oh right, the kind of loser that doesn't brush their cat, or trim their nails. The fuck?), and I think that may remain her nickname (because it's ridiculously funny). Cameron suggested Millie (for George/Millie on Dead Like Me), and that's an option for her name. But it got me thinking of other female characters from TV shows that I like, so I'm also debating Kaylee and Willow. (I'm a loser, yes.) I'm also worried that Millie sounds too much like my own name.

I've taken one photo of her on my Joycam. When I figure out how I can post it (or if I make Scott bring his digital camera and take photos), I will totally post it here for y'all to see.

And this Humane Society person was totally all, "heart murmur? It's nothing. Lots of cats have them." so that's ... heartening. (groan)

How old is she?

Also, word on "Cat Face". Although we actually don't trim our cats' nails.

yeah, my cat has one. my vet says it's not too important.
although if i want to spent a fortune she's more than willing to help me get my cat an ultrasound.

definately need zee peectures

yay! Cat Face! Awesome name! hee hee I vote for Kaylee or maybe hmmmm *thinks* Dru? Hee hee I dunno..whatever you pick is great! I can't wait to see pics!

I guess you can't name her after Delores Herbig's cat, Murray, because he was a boy. Though my vote's still for that name. ;)

I trim my cat's nails (the big cat), but only because he accidentally scratches me when we play if I don't. I don't bother with the little cat's nails because she needs those to defend herself against the big cat (although she doesn't need much help in that department; despite being half his size, she beats him up all the time).

I want to see pictures, definitely!

I think it was more the combination of not brushing and not trimming the nails that got me. It was like, did they even LOOK at the cat while they had it?

[emiline.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah. They told me I could talk to a vet about getting one for her, but I figured they'd be a little expensive.

I will definitely work on getting zee peectures.

I don't want my cat to be insane! ;)

Well, I could go with the trend of naming girls with boy's names... Cameron had also suggested naming her Delores Herbig.

If this cat is anything like my brother's cat, I'm going to get sick of the ends of her claws sticking into me, and cut them.

Cat!

Cat cat cat cat cat. Cat cat? Cat! Cat cat cat.

Um, I vote Kaylee. Because: supercute and affectionate.

However, I actually like Cat Face rather a lot.

Congratulations! Cat-life is only of the good.

I vote for Willow and pictures ASAP!

Whee!

Caaaaaaaaat. :)

I'm growing to like Cat Face more, but I don't think I could use it as more than a nickname. It's just so bizarre to me. But funny, too.

I hadn't thought of Kaylee like that, but it totally makes sense. I think I'm leaning more towards Kaylee.

I'm glad it's only of the good. :)

I might have to open the name up to a complete vote from the friends-list, because I'm torn between them all!

I'll definitely get photos up as soon as I can.

[spadoink.livejournal.com]

well sure. and what is it going to do for you...
let you know that you should never make your cat a jet pilot...race in the indy 500...become catmaghandi...

eggzalent.

[emiline.livejournal.com]

Catmaghandi! That's awesome. I need to find a Catmaghandi so it can sit next to my Chairman Meow.

[listersgirl]

Kitty! How exciting! Hurry up with those pictures. :)

[spadoink.livejournal.com]

how hard would it have been for catmaghandi to do the sort of fasting the real guy did? a cat eating only vegetables? oh the moaning would be terrible.

you have to watch out for famous cats...like Ivan the Meowable

[emiline.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. Word. This is killing me! I need to start a famous cat collection!

[emiline.livejournal.com]

I'll do my best.

Or you could just walk across the street and visit, if you wanted.

[listersgirl]

I will definitely take you up on that offer!

[spadoink.livejournal.com]

you'd heard that they worshipped cats in ancient egypt...but had you heard that they'd misread the hyroglyphics so long ago and his name is actually catunkaman.

or one of the biggest heros of the old was...buffalo bill catty?

[emiline.livejournal.com]

You should! I'm home most nights. (Although, if I don't know you're coming, I won't answer the buzzer. Like I did tonight, but it turned out that it was some dude hitting a bunch of apartment buzzers. I'm a little anti-social sometimes.)

[emiline.livejournal.com]

Whoops, I missed your first question. The humane society thinks she is somewhere between 2 and 5 years old.
