Assuming you had the ability to adopt one or both of these girls (baby is 11-12 weeks and mama is 1-2 years) would you take one or both? And assuming you adopted both of them, what names would you give them? I am not a fan of animals having people names, but names from literature would be wonderful to consider. My brain is mush now and I can't think, so give it your best shot.
I would be tempted to take both, of course. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat about 'Opal' and 'Garnet'?
I had a cat but it died when my daughter was two and her allergies cleared up! So no more, but these girls are cute and look like fun. Now I have a dog and he's getting old but could still chase a cat, given half a chance.
ReplyDeleteThey're both cuties. I'd pick favorite names from literature.

ReplyDeleteIf it were me I would take them both. If you found them in a shelter I think I would name the Mama Blanche because she has been depending on the kindness of strangers...The baby I would call Desire......They are both beautiful...
Catching up here on some of your earlier posts -- glad to read your doing well with OHS exercise pgm. As for these cute cats -- if you're so inclined, take both cats as friends of mine decided to do a few years ago. They've been fun to watch playing with each other. Pet naming for me has always been selecting a moniker of special personal significance to me that others might not necessarily appreciate, so have no suggestions.
ReplyDeleteI hope you take them both. About naming them, makes me wonder if you have any favorite mother-daughter characters from a novel or film?
ReplyDeleteBoth - for their sakes. I would name them Gertrude and Alice after literature's Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas.
ReplyDeleteI always get cats in twos. Last ones were two sisters two years ago and named them Ruby and Purrl. They are real gems. I considered naming them flower names: Pansy, Petunia, Iris, Cosmo, Rose, Ivy, Fern etc. I am sure you can think of many more. Cats work better in twos.
ReplyDeleteRe-commenting on request... I would get them both. Cats are not the solitary creatures they are made out to be, and a pair that is used to each other will be far happier in the long run. And it's easier to do that from the start, rather than adding a cat later, when you might wind up with the situation I have now...cats who don't really like each other.
ReplyDeleteJust tell me you ended up taking them both:-)
