[Page 6] How did everyone get there cat and why did you name them the name you did?

If you are wondering what is the right cat for you, this is the place to be. In this introductory forum we talk about topics such as breed vs. mix, size, age, grooming, breeders, shelters, rescues as well as requirements for exercise, space and care. No question is too silly here. This particular forum is for getting and giving helpful, nice advice. It is definitely not a forum for criticizing someone else's opinion, knowledge or advice. This forum is all about purring and learning.

Kure

silly pretty- girl

Purred: Sat Jul 25, '09 6:53am PST


	I was born in a litter of 6 on Aug 2 2008. We were very lucky to be born to a fur mommy and daddy that are still together and their owner takes very good care of them. My siblings and i fianaly got old enough to leave our mommy. Our new human mommy and daddy came to visit the owner (who is her mom) and they picked me & my brother Frisco to go back to their home in NC in Oct 2008. After a LONG car ride which i did not like, we were in our new home. I am named for mommy & daddys favorite little beach along the southern NC coast, Kure which is right near Carolina Beach & Wilmington

Pepitoula

I'll sleep over- there..!

Purred: Sun Jul 26, '09 8:08am PST


	Titos was born from one of my first cats Lisa.I can't remember where I exactly heard that name but I liked him and named him Titos! Pepitoula was born from Lisa too, and I gave her this name because I before her I had a male kitten Pepito that went missing. Serenata was named after a cat of a greek song about a can named Serenata.Serenata was a kitten of Pepita and Titos. Tom was adopted from a sanctuary in my town.I had always liked that name so a Tom kitty came in the family! Bijoux was rescued from the streets by me one summer night and she got her name from a dog character in a book, read by someone else, who also suggested the name and I liked it. Simba and Stormy (not on catster yet) were adopted from a woman whose cats gave birth to litters.Simba got that named from the Lion King(big fan of them ) and Stormy got his name from his striped grey fur (with white parts) that looked like a stormy night to me! Zorro was named after the famous Zorro because of his black fur. Betty, Daphne and Vicky didn't get these names bacause of any special purposes, just because I like these names. Zorro, Daphne,Vicky and Betty were delivered from Bijoux.Bijoux and Vicky (as well as Pepitoula are now spayed ) . Daphne, Betty, Zorro, Titos, Tom and Serenata are now angel kitties.

Willow

Funny Face

Purred: Sun Jul 26, '09 2:01pm PST


	Hi! My meowmy found an ad for me online, she was intrigued because they said I had already gotten my vaccinations and was around 3 months old which was nice for my brother Loki who is just a week younger than me... My family had such a hard time naming me, they went through every name in book but settled on Willow because they thought my fur looked like bark and I am such a witchy cat

Loki

true to my name!

Purred: Sun Jul 26, '09 2:09pm PST


	Hi! I am Loki, My meowmy was looking around for a kitten, the first time in a long time after not having any fuzz faces around the house. She saw an ad online for some white kittens down at a coastal town in england and got so excited she immediately started thinking of names! Dorky enough, she had just watched The Mask, where they mention the norse god Loki and it struck her. That could be perfect! Made even more so when we finally met and my original owner told her that I was the mischievous one, despite being the runt of the litter, and bossing my siblings around So it was settled! Loki came home to us a few weeks later and has been part of our family ever since

Redgate

Just like you,- only prettier

Purred: Sun Jul 26, '09 7:34pm PST


	I was crying outside near backdoor in a rainstorm. They let me in to the garage and I just took over from there (poor humans, did not realize you do not keep a PRINCESS in the garage!). I am named after a street in our town that has cool houses, restraunts, galleries and boutiques Mommy found Daisy behind her school (Mommy's school, not Daisy's) and she seems so pretty and bouncy and low maintence, like a Daisy (I am not low maintenence -- princesses are high maintence)

Harpua

Bow to the- Queen!

Purred: Sun Jul 26, '09 8:46pm PST


	Well, my husband and I went to a local shelter so I could look at dogs. While I was playing with a cute little puppy my husband came over holding a cute little kitty who was in a cage all by herself. She was about six months old and too big to be with the kittens and too little to be with the adults. He said she was just meowing and calling out to him. After he got her out of the cage she was soooo calm and just purred. We decided on an impulse to adopt her then and there. 5 years later she's still with us and still the queen! Oh...and we named her Harpua (we call her Pua or just Pu) because my husband was a huge fan of the band "Phish" who has a song called Harpua. Edited by author Sun Jul 26, '09 8:52pm PST

Piglet

If mom won't- give it to me,- dad will...

Purred: Mon Jul 27, '09 1:27pm PST


	We adopted Piglet during a family trip Indiana. We had been wanting a cat for our new apartment, and chose Pig while while we were visiting a local shelter. She had so much energy... She was climbing the walls of her cage and just screaming take me home. She was wonderful on the car ride home and has been ever since. We picked the name Pig for a couple of reasons. First was because of our neighbors cat, who we both adored. His name was Tigger and we thought it would be cute to stick with that theme. And well, we didn't want to name her Pooh. Pig was reinforced after we saw what an enthusiastic eater she could be.

Harley

I am Harley- Quinn!

Purred: Tue Jul 28, '09 7:40am PST


	My Mommie volunteers at a local no-kill cat rescue shelter. I was born to a feral mom and went directly into foster care. When I got big enough, I moved into the shelter where my Mommie helped take care of me! I lived there for 6 months and nobuddy wanted me; I do not know why. After her cat named Pixie had to go to the Rainbow Bridge, she decided to give me a Forever home! And now I am happy every day!

Amber

I didn't do it!

Purred: Tue Jul 28, '09 1:08pm PST


	This is going to be LONG. When I was young, my family had cats. After we moved, we couldn't have any more cats because my parents refused to have cats in the new house and dogs would kill any outside cats. When my parents and sister moved into the new house, I basically moved into my aunts house across the street. I talked that poor woman into letting me keep gerbils, hamsters, spiders, a bearded dragon, mulitple fish... but I could never talk her into a cat. When I moved out of her house and into my grandfather's place, I wasn't even going to try for a cat. He is a self-proclaimed cat-hater and doesn't tolerate animals in the house. uh-huh. I was at church one Wednesday evening and the resident beagle, Billy, made his way across the field and under the fence. We were playing kickball or something but everyone stopped when we noticed these four little fuzzballs were following Billy across the field, jumping to make it through the tall grass. One of the kids yelled "Puppies!." I said, "Nope. Those are NOT puppies!" Dan (cousin, my age) and I dropped what we were doing and went over to them. There were four in all, a ginger tabby male, a black bicolor male, a grey and orange tabby female, and an orange and white female. I went straight to Amber and picked her up. It just clicked. I didn't want a cat. I couldn't have a cat. I HAD to have her. Poor kit was skin and bones, and so were her siblings. She might have been four or five weeks old then. She let me pick her up and hold her a few seconds, then she hopped up on my shoulder, walked across to the other shoulder, and jumped down. She followed me around the rest of the evening. It took Dan 2o mins to convince me that I had to leave her there, I couldn't take her on the church van but that we would come back. The next day, He called me at 8:00 in the morning. He had gone to get the kittens. Both males and one of the females had a home. There was one unaccounted for kitten and it just happened to be the one he had to pry away from me. I went and got her and brought her home. I had to negotiate for quite a while. Yes, I would have her spayed. Yes, I would keep fleas off of her and get her a scratching post. Yes, I would pay for food and cat litter. No, she wouldn't destroy his leather couch. In the beginning, she was an "outside" cat that was only allowed in at night. Gradually, I started letting her in earlier in the evening and letting her out later in the day. Then he decided that she could only be in the house when someone was home to supervise her. I started "forgetting" to let her out when we left. I "forgot" more and more often. It took over a month, but she eventually graduated to housecat status. Now she goes outside when she wants to, but is queen of the house. She is an only cat. I rescued some kittens and found homes for them. She didn't respond well to that, so I guess she is destined to be an only cat. I made a list of possible names. Amber was on the list because of her brilliant eyes. That was the name she responded to. She chirped. It stuck.
