Her Name Here

I’m now accepting re-nominations for a new cat. I won’t have her until the end of next week, but she’s already a movie-star on this interweb thingy. I didn’t have anything to do with that video, or these pictures - they’re both from the shelter. But I did spend some time with her in that same room.

She seems reasonably intelligent. I predict that she will be a mighty huntress.

However, her name is too short. I believe that cats should have names of around five syllables: this gives plenty of scope for short nicknames, while allowing for an easy change of nicknames as the cat’s personality matures. For example, Kilimanjaro was known as Jar, Jaro, Killer, and Kilo (and probably less flattering things).

I’m toying with Carolynnetta. It has plenty of syllables, and also contains her shelter-name. Or I could name her after a song, but I’d need to stretch that out a bit.

Suggestions?

    Pasht? - kind of is a short nickname, but she does look like a hunter, and I’m pretty sure she’ll be the goddess of things left half-digested under the bed.

    —Katalaine–Tally or Lainee for short, keeping with the ‘K’
    for Kilimanjaro… Cats respond to 2 or more syllables.

    OR-do what I did, go thru the languages dictionary for CAT-
    You might be surprised…..
    and of course, females ARE the hunters.

    Her official name is Evangelina, which contains many potential nicknames. At the moment, she’s Angie.
