Pets

Funny thing: This weekend I watched a random YouTube video of a vet teaching how to handle cats. One thing he said to do when dealing with cats that are agitated is to, "squish the cat." He just kept saying it and was cracking me up. Now you post this and I wonder what the universe is trying to tell me.....

Lovely to see Squish so well adjusted to his new habitat already!

Dayum, never knew it was such a popular name for cats

He’s a beautiful cat. Wonder what his back story is.

I hear what you’re saying here. I will rescue a cat as much as the next person, but I would hate if it were injured, etc. Calyx cost me $500+ when he 1st appeared in our yard. He had an abscessed paw that probably would have killed him eventually if I hadn’t gotten him treatment.

Again, kudos for helping an innocent animal in these troubled times. Most people would have looked away.

Yeah, there's a perverse incentive, where it can be a relief not to catch them as much as it is to succeed, especially now. I feel so fortunate it went down the way it did, it could not have gone any better.

Early contenders for the name are apparently Apricot and Omelette. They think it's a girl.

Aha, I'm sensing a definite theme with those names so ..... I'll modify the suggestion of Squish to Squash

Could be. 90% of gingers are male, but my orange stray was female. If there’s no nuts, it’s female or a castrated male. Which doesn’t really help.

Interesting fact: all gingers are stripey because the gene for orange cats is the same as the one for stripey cats.

I like the name Apricot for that cat.

OPEN FLOOR.

I totally agree with Gbg

Let himself out of his cage again and was talking to his favourite doorframe.

See, Chyp agrees with me. The cat should be named Apricot.

It’s a very pretty name, but I don’t see it as a masculine name.

The people that have cat think it's female. So... why does it need to be masculine?

Dorito.

@John McClane just gave me an idea with his Sunny Delight post in the Shoutbox.


Call the cat Sunny.

How about Corona? It means “crown” & it would be a fitting name for a little prince or princess.

Or, maybe not.

I cannot express how weirdly happy this reply made me. I think the cat deserves a Star Wars superimposition à la your tie-fighting ski-speeder turtle.
*ponders ideas*

Maybe a play on the name.


Rona.
Ronnie.
Covie.

If the name needs to be Corona related how 'bout Wedgie

(we all know it's going to be Apricat really though)
