reddragdivaI stopped at Asda and grabbed a litter tray, litter tray liners and
some wet and dry food. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
arkady got to my place just after I did.
redcountess was too *splat* to come, so Arkady and I went to
Romford to fetch the kittens. We grabbed the grey boy and the black girl
and got a minicab home. The girl was smart enough to lie on her stomach the
whole way; the boy kept trying to stand up and puked all over his sister.
Arkady got several
photos of them here. ADMIRE THEIR SPECTACULAR CUTENESS.
I have this habit of getting kittens when I'm getting up spectacularly early for work. Another generation of kittens are about to grow up learning that dinner is at 6am. Bah.
Name suggestions needed! Liz thinks Powder (grey) and Patch (black), but he doesn't really strike me as a "Powder." Arkady suggested "Silk" (grey) and "Velvet" (black). I have no idea.

Date: 2005-09-29 10:32 pm (UTC)I'm still upset that Ava wouldn't let me name the pitbull "Bar-cheez", after a particular tasty horseradish/hummus/cheesy concoction popular in certain bars around Detroit. I think 'bar-cheez' is really the ideal name for an animal. A FOAF has two white cats, Snowball and Pork ("the other white cat") which I am also completely in love with. Other good names for cats would be things like "Axe-handle", "Conan the Destroyer", "Pestilence", "Azrael", "Buggery" - or perhaps "Buttsex", "Evil", and of course, "Tart".

Date: 2005-09-30 01:07 am (UTC)And to be honest, I actually like Little Boy and Little Girl. My cousin's dog was named Little Girl, and I always found it utterly charming.
Barring that, Catherine and Heathcliff? Cordy and Angel? River and Simon?
Okay, enough geekiness from me!

Date: 2005-09-30 07:11 am (UTC)"It's an interesting fact that fewer than 17% of Real cats end their lives with the same name they started with. Much family effort goes into selecting one at the start (“She looks like a Winifred to me”), and then as the years roll by it suddenly finds itself being called Meepo or Ratbag.
Which brings us to the most important consideration in the naming of cats: never give a cat a name you wouldn't mind shouting out in a strained, worried voice around midnight while banging a tin bowl with a spoon. Stick to something short.
That being said, most common names for Real Cats are quite long and on the lines of Yaargeroffoutofityarbarstard, Mumthere'ssomethingORRIBLEunderthebed, and Wellyoushouldn'tofbinstandingthere. Real Cats don't have names like Vincent Mountjoy Froufrou Poundstretcher IV, at least for long.
The chosen name should also be selected for maximum carrying power across a busy kitchen when, eg, a bag full of prime steak starts moving stealthily towards the edge of the table. You need a word with a cutting edge. Zut! is pretty good. The Egyptians had a catheaded goddess called Bast. Now you know why."
My personal recommendation: Fear and Terror (or Phobos and Deimos).

Date: 2005-09-30 09:11 pm (UTC)I suggest Mouse (gray) and Mystery (black). Or maybe Lover (black). But definitely Mouse (gray). She looks like a Mouse.
