Descrption of the cat: She is mainly black but with bits of red fur. Very affectionat. Currecntly pregnant. Loves to meow and is getting a sore throat from it. Hates my dog.

The list of names are:

Elena
Leah
Asha
Daja
Ashelin

My family (I should say my mother) and I cannot decide on a name for her so I'm asking for your help.

Thanks everyone!

Congrats on the new kittens! Give the mother-to-be a hug for me, and a pair of your socks to play with as a gift! (Hee hee!)

I picked Daja because...well..it sounds like a good cat's name. It sounds really wild yet elegant and refined!

Out of curiosity (and no, I did not excape from a mental institution, so don't ask!) have you tried asking the CAT what she wants to be named?

We usually name our cats names with only one or two sylables, for sake of ease when calling them, and just talking to/about them in general. I voted for 'Leah' because I like the name. Out of curiousity, would you pronounce it 'lee' or 'lay-a'?

And kittens! X3 Kittens are fun. You'll have to go through a whole other round of name giving, even if you don't keep them all.

Leah, for me, would be pronounced "Lay-a" And I've thought about the names for the kittens but I already know my father won't allow me too keep any (I'd be lucky to keep even one) so I'm going to let the people i'm giving them to choose a name.

And Myoti, THAT'S DOG IN JAPANESE! Personally it is funny but very . . . odd.

Call it.... Kitsune! ^_^; I kid...

OOHH CALL IT POCKY2!!! HAHA OR RAMUNE!!! OR SUSHI OR ONIGIRI!!!

Lol or not...

How about...Layla?


of yours that you have, I like Daja too..(is kinda pronounced like Da-sha?)

Is this the cat that I kept on accidently trying to kill because she is black and she was always in the dumpster behind work? And I kept throwing trash bags on her and she would get mad at me?

If so...why not... Baggy?

Hmmm?

I voted Asha 'cause it reminds by of black. You know, ash... Or something like.

We named our kittens from last August Muppim, Huppim, Ard, and Spurgeon. (See Genesis 46:21)

i've also got a Q. You can tell the number of kittens by the number of teets right? also, what's a good way to bathe a grown cat with out major blood loose (scratchs) ?

Personally I like Elena ^-^

Oh and CR-chan, you can wash grown up cats. Sometimes you need too. How to go about it without getting scratched to death...that I dont know, it depends on the cats attitude.

I voted for Elena too. It sounds motherly-ish.

I voted for Asha, because it sounds pretty. XD However, if I were ever to own a cat, I would name it Lynx. Because...I just would. XD

Of the names you listed above, I'm in favor of Asha. But if you don't mind a crazy and off the wall suggestion-- I say name her "Neko." ;) That's what I'm naming the first cat I get on my own.

I suspect that was the point. ;)

Perhaps Nekoyasha?


Funny story - on another forum, someone was asking about pet names (I think it was for a cat, too) - anyway, I suggested a few names, and this person singled one out and posted "THAT'S MY NAME!!!!111oneoneone" (or words to that effect). It was really funny. Well, reading this over, it may be a YHTBT ("You Had To Be There"), but it was funny at the time.

My vote goes to the 2-syllable names: Daja/Asha/Leah

Daja reminds me of 'darjah' in the Malay language which means class/level/year used to describe high school students (e.g Year 1 student). But still, I prefer that name over the others.

I voted Leah because it would be the easiest one to remember and easiest ones for friends and other family members to pronounce.
Personally I would go with either Boyou or Kirara!
