As you know, Miss Whiskers had her op to remove her left eye this
morning. She is now back home, sacked out on a hotwater bottle covered
in a sheepskin fleece, having eaten 2 packets of kitten whiskas.

I think she's going to be OK. ;o)

The vet says that she's skinny and underweight, but I think that will be
resolved pretty quickly with some TLC and lots of high quality kitten
food.

We're playing with names now.

I always give my girl cats names they can be proud of. I already have
Pandora and Cleopatra (Cleo for short). The ones I'm thinking about for
Miss Whiskers are Egyptian and are:

Eshe - which means "Life"
Jendayi - which means "Thankful"
Omorose - which means "Beautiful"
Sagira - which means "Little one"

and "Lotus" as in Lotus flower, which I just really like. I'm leaning
towards "Lotus" at the moment as it seems to fit.

We'll see which one fits in the next few days. "His Royal Feline
Lordship Tiger" had about 20 different names until he told me what he
was called. ;o)

I like that! I had an Isis and she was the biggest lovebug ever!

I really like that name. I'll mention it to my brother, who has been
well and truly captivated by a tiny little girl and has demanded the
naming rights. ;o)

Isis, of course! My ex-wife and I share a whole Devon Rex family of four:

I have got Teti (Egyptian Pharaoe) and Tinùviel (Teti's and Isis' mother,
name from Lord of the Rings)
My ex-wife's cats are Isis (Egyptian goddess) and Loomis (father of Isis and
Teti, he's named after a fishing rod brand...)

Isis and Teti had two more siblings, but they were sold at three months age:
Darius and Teos, both Egyptian Pharaoes...

My ex-wife and I still visit eachother and the cats frequently, reducing the
problems if one of us should go on a vacation and so on :-)

I'd go for Lotus, too. Sweet and gentle, just like the little one sounds.
Purrs and prayers that she grows to be strong and happy. God bless.

Woo hooo! Glad she made it through surgery and is doing so well. She's
going to be a very special little kitty. I'll bet she'll have tons of
personality.

As for names -- I love Lotus. The little flower. Anything but Omorose,
okay? That reminds me of the brash, egotistical lady on the reality
shows. (Omorosa)

Take care,

Rhonda

I like "Lotus" also for symbolic reasons. The lotus flower is a symbol of
renewal, innocence, hope and of succeeding despite hardships (and similar
metaphors) because the most beautiful of lotus flowers bloom out of the
worst sort of mucky and filthy poisonous water.

She was mucky filthy and ugly once, but I"m sure she'll bloom into the most
extraordinary kitty. Lotus fits her very well.

I vote for Eshe, because she CHOSE Life after all she's been through,
and fought for it, and WON.

My cats generally end up with operatic names.  If I had a
one-eyed female cat, she'd probably be "(Princess) Eboli"
from the opera "Don Carlo".  Her real-life counterpart was
the mistress of Philippe II of Spain, reputed to be a great
beauty, and she was known to wear a patch over one eye
(presumably due to injury).

Awwww!  She's a sweetheart!  So many Miss Whiskers posts today.  She's
so loved, so wonderful.  I wonder how she got the way she was?  I
don't think it's possible that a person could so something like that
on purpose.

Unfortunately, that's what both the vet and the RSPCA think. Last week
Cats Protection had a kitten from the same geographical area which had
to be sent to Rainbow Bridge because it had been blinded in both eyes
and it was beyond help. :o(

Miss Whiskers and one of the Cardiff Devils ice-hockey players will be
doing a photo shoot early next week for the local paper to raise
awareness.

Congratulations to Miss Whiskers for wending her way into your life in such
a short time.  I'm so glad that the operation went well and am looking
forward to pictures and a new name!

I'm glad to hear she's doing well.

I quite liked the name Miss Whiskers but if you like Egyptian names
what about Hathor the godess of joy, love and beauty.
