Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2004DESTINY???
We are now almost three weeks into our life with this adorable, strong-minded, willful, destructive, affectionate, gorgeous little lady. The only problem we have, since she has been declared healthy and able to join the cat society (beside picking up broken shards here and there!), is with her name. Destiny is her "real" name. (I don't know what her cat name is, but it is probably something like "The Terminator.") The thing is, she doesn't answer to Destiny. For this reason, we have tried every name two inventive ladies can think of -- with little success. The only name she seems to respond to at all is ..... Rosie! This would not be my first choice (I would prefer something like "Twinkle Afar!), but hey! It's HER name, right? She responds to this sound just as she responds to Baby (our Calico lady) -- as something familiar to her from her first few short months of life. Naming a new kitty has never presented much of a problem to me. This one may be more difficult! And such is life in Cat Country! Renee in CA USA "Time spent with cats is never wasted." Colette "I've traveled a long way -- and some of the roads weren't paved!"

If she says Rosie, Rosie it is. Maybe you could modify it just a little? Posey. Nosy. Cosy.... Elisabet > Renee Darvin skrev i meddelandet > <3448-4023C144-157@storefull-3238.bay.webtv.net>...

Count your blessings! That's what I thought!! Out of *all* the cats I've ever had in my whole, life, Yoda is the only one who knows his name. Usually we call him "Yo." Bootsie probably knows her name, she is my smartest cat, but she likes to ignore me. Sherry sriddles@aol.comkitty (Sherry ) had some very interesting things to say about Re: DESTINY???: >>You have cats who actually ANSWER to their names? Count your blessings! >That's what I thought!!

Bootsie >probably knows her name, she is my smartest cat, but she likes to ignore me. Felix has been known to come when called. One time when Bob was staying overnight at his parents' house, when I went to bed, I told Felix, "I'm going to bed now", and he beat me into the bedroom, then looked at me from his preferred spot like "what took you so long?" Birdbrain occasionally turns his head when he hears his name.

Rosie! (snip) > And such is life in Cat Country! > > Renee in CA USA When I first was adopted by Persia, I just called her "cat". Silly me, I had no intentions of keeping her. Then on day 3 I was looking at her and the name "Persia" just popped into my head. I said out loud, "Persia!" and she immediately turned and came running towards me. Ever since, she will only answer to that. You may not like "Rosie", but your girl does. So go with it :) Jill > The only name she seems to respond to at all is ..... Rosie!

Hey, good idea Pam! :-) -- Britta Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album >The only name she seems to respond to >at all is ..... Rosie! Having seen The African Queen on Turner Classic Movies last night, and then reading your description of this cat, I'd say "Rosie" is a perfectly fitting name.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way." - W.H.
