NO NAME! LOL Well right now his name is Beau and he's a 3yr old white/blue eyed ragdoll cat that we adopted Saturday!! He's beautiful and he's a total love, BUT he does have his dark side. He looks all sweet and innocent, but he is NOT! He loves knocking things over, jumping and crawling through places he definitely shouldn't be, I truly believe he's the biggest trouble maker I have ever known! It's like taking care of a hyper-active 2 yr old, that's why I haven't posted until now, I've been very busy trying to keep our house from falling apart. He's been clawing at our furniture and training him to use the scratching post seems to be almost impossible. OH and he's also sliced open the top of Koby's nose (sounds way worse that it really was) but now Koby's come to realize the low growling and hissing doesn't mean it's time to play. Other than that No Name is a real sweetheart and I'm sure as time goes on he'll settle down a bit....I hope. I guess that's what I get for wanting a cat so bad.
Now I need all of BPO's help in finding a name for this guy. I'm looking for a name to fit his horrific trouble making personality. We've already toyed with Lucifer, Satan Jr. and Diablo.... we haven't been able to find a name that fits perfectly, though, which is is really annoying. We can't keep calling him kitty, just not very original. LOL
I attached a pic of him, this was him at the Animal Shelter, my camera died right before I wanted to take a pic of him..... I really need to stock up on batteries. :-\
-
Oh why do we do this to ourselves?? ::) ::) ::) We are all crazy - animal crazy!!!
Names: Poltergeist, Ghost, Faustus, Jekyll (or Hyde), Edgar (as in Edgar Allen Poe!!).
Welcome to the new 'Kitty' no matter what his eventual name!!
-
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I am SO happy for you!!!
As for names, I'm going to have to go with Christian Troy. I mean, devilish, but with a sensitive side? Those piercing eyes? What could be more appropriate???
hahahahah -- j/k ;)
HAHAHAHAHAHAA!! It's so funny you say that. Christian was on our short list as was Julian! LOL
-
Adni!!!! He is soooooo cute!!! What a face and those eyes are absolutely gorgeous!
For getting him to use the scratcher , what about putting cat nip on it. Or kitty Kaviar which my cats love you can get it at petsmart. Also have you cut his nails? that might help with the damage.
Poor Koby, it took Gweck a while to figure out what hissing and snarling meant too hehehhehe
Congrats!!
Julie
I will try the catnip and see if that works, thanks for the idea Julie!
We clipped his nails last night, because he put a tiny hole in our leather chair. On his web page it had said he was declawed but when we got to the shelter we found out he wasn't. I don't believe in declawing so that is not an option. I figured Tony would be flipping out about all this damage and for some reason he's ok with it, I think he's gone off the deep end as well, either that or the cat has won him over. Tony spent a couple hours yesterday making scratching post and now he's planning out our super deluxe kitty gym that we will start building this week! I don't know what's gotten into that man, but I sure do like it! Koby's also liking all this because every time we get something for kitty, Koby gets a new toy too! ;D I'd hate for him to feel left out.
We're still trying to figure out if kitty's deaf, if he's not deaf he's got a really bad case of selective hearing. His ears twitch when you say his name and he has turned around and come to me when I call his name, but it hasn't happened very often, he's not jumpy at all when there is loud noises, it's just very confusing to us.Â

I have the perfect name!!!!!!!!!
HOLLY
BWAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAA A!! That IS the perfect name, to bad "kitty" is a boy. That's just too funny! ;D

Look andi I warned you about Beau ;) :D...LOL!...He is so darn pretty & personally, I like naughty animals...They are alot of fun!...lol!...How about naming him Tornado or Storm? :)
-
I like Storm. What else? Freddie? Cougar? I'm really bad at this.. but you know, he does have those claws... Ice.
As far as deafness... not all cats are responsive. Believe me. But the ear twitch might indicate that he does hear you, but has selective hearing. bang some stuff around and see if he reacts. haha.
-
he is a gorgeous kitty. He has the same look as my black cat, sabbath (ha, Black Sabbath) I've always wanted to get a matching cat, but white (like your new boy) and name him Zombie (White Zombie). Something along that line. good luck coming up with a name. hes a beauty

You guys are AWESOME with name ideas! I'm writing all of them down so I can run them by Tony and Kenna.
As for the deafness I was REALLY concerned today. I found "Beau" in the bathroom sink sleeping visualize that, it was hilarious!) and I repeatedly called his name, Kenna called his name, we had to clap loudly at least 10 times before he woke up. Kenna started crying because she thought he was dead! Now normally I won't wake a sleeping animal but this was a little hearing test, and I thought cat's were light sleepers if he could hear then he should have woken up right away but he didn't. I just don't know what to think! :-\ It's not going to make me love him any less if he is deaf, he's such a lovebug and he's so dang adorable it's gonna be hard to correct his evil behaviors, one look from him and my heart melts. I'm going to take him to the vet this week to see what they say, I would like to know for sure if he's got any hearing problems, if he is deaf it will make much more sense to go up and touch him to get his attention instead of yelling his name a million times.
Sorry for all the novelistic posts. lol

You did warn me about him! I thought you were kidding, but I do believe there was a lot of truth in your "rabid kitty" email. LOL

Rebel? ummmmm....shee sh. I don't know. I like Henry. But, it has nothing to do with being a naughty kitty. hahaha!
-
YAY!! I'm so happy you got your kitty! Good luck with the bad boy! LOL! ;D
-
Awwww! I knew you'd get him!! ;D

2 of our cats LOVE the sink, 1 of them LOVES running water. Cats are weird, gotta love them! I have one sprawled on me partially in what I would think is a completely uncomfortable position. They are contortionists!! hehehehehe SO did yo pick a name yet?
Yes, I do believe my cat has issues. lol I was unloading the dishwasher today and the next thing I know "kitty" was inside the dishwasher, then his foot got stuck under that heating element thingy and I was freaking out! Thank goodness the dang thing wasn't hot. Anyway to answer your question no, we haven't picked a name yet but if he keeps doing stupid idiotic things like getting caught in the dishwasher we'll have to name him Stu! LOL
-
Congrats on the new addition. He's absolutely beautiful. How about the name Baby Stuey from the family guy. He's evil and if the kitty does something stupid then you can also call him stu for short.
-
I have a white cat that I thought was deaf at one time too...After further review it turned out he was just really relaxed here & ignoring me...lol!
I thought of another name "Rebel" :)
Make sure to e-mail pics of him to Kate...She loves that! :)

HAHAHAHAAA!! That's so funny I should totally call him Baby Stuey. I love Family Guy, laugh my butt off every time I watch it!
I think it was Liz that suggested Gabriel and I LOVE that name but Tony thinks it's girly and one of his friends is named Gabe - Tony's making this harder than it should be!! (I've been doing a lot of eyerolling lately)lol We're still arguing about what exactly to name this guy....we'll find a perfect name someday. lol

We'll sure find out sooner or later if he's got hearing issues. I'm on a mad hunt to find his breeder, she's in my area so if I have to call every single breeder in this area I will until I find her! lol I just want to see what she thinks. He was returned to the breeder by his first family then adopted out again where he was put in the Shelter. I think he's been through a lot in his 3yrs of life.
I will definitely be emailing pics to Kate, they were all so sweet and helpful I'm sure they love updates!
