Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2004Kitten name
Do you think it's weird to call a female kitten Mars? She's a tabby with white underneath and rusty bits all over. She has this really big round rusty spot on her back hence the name "Mars". I also got her around the time of the recent Mars landing. Do you guys reckon a male name like "Mars" is weird? I don't want her to be teased by other cats when she gets older >;P Opinions or ideas on other names would be appreciated. >Do you think it's weird to call a female kitten Mars? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >Opinions or ideas on other names would be appreciated. A partial list of the names I have found in web comics featuring cat characters is near the bottom of the page at <http://www.maem.umr.edu/tdavis/cats/cat_comics.html>. Sunny or Sunnie suggest themselves if you think of the red spot a rising or setting sun. T.E.D. (tdavis@gearbox.maem.umr.edu - e-mail must contain "T.E.D." or my .sig in the body) kittens tease each other, but it has nothing to do with their names. I think Mars is fine > Do you think it's weird to call a female kitten Mars? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Opinions or ideas on other names would be appreciated.

You think that's odd? We've got acat called Crumbs! I think mars is a great name,certainly more distinctive than Tiddles. http://www.catscatscats.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk Our babies. wouldn't a cat having a round rusty spot be more aptly called jupitor? > Do you think it's weird to call a female kitten Mars? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Opinions or ideas on other names would be appreciated. >wouldn't a cat having a round rusty spot be more aptly called jupitor? Another male name though. Since she has a rising sun on her back, I'd call her Eos, the beautiful Greek goddess of the Dawn.  Signature79.84% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Eos was certainly the dawn goddess, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eos She was cursed with nymphomania which is a suitable warning for an unspayed queen as well!

HEy, all my cats are named after characters in books or movies. I like their names to mean something. If you like the name Mars I think you should keep it. Very powerful.. god of war and all... :) Mar ------------------------------------------------ "I meant," said Ipslore, bitterly,"what is there in this world that makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. "Cats," he said eventually, "Cats are nice." -Terry Pratchett, 'Sourcery' and i agree! mine are 'christmas' because i was given him for christmas. the other is 'boo' because i got him on ...... well, what do you think? :) > HEy, all my cats are named after characters in books or movies.

I have a Boo too... We did get him in October, and he;s a black cat but his name actually came from Monsters Inc. You know.. the cute but michevious babbeling child...? Yeah.. that's him... :) Mar ------------------------------------------------ "I meant," said Ipslore, bitterly,"what is there in this world that makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. "Cats," he said eventually, "Cats are nice." -Terry Pratchett, 'Sourcery' I don't think it is strange. We gave our cats names that we liked and then once they developed their personallitys we gave them a middle name. The strays we also gave names as quite a few never left out yard. Here are the names we gave our cats Chardonney, Burgundy, Dakota, Sauvignon, Milkman, Aspen. Apache, Cheyenne, Cherokee, MamaCat, PapaCat, Wishbone, Rapper, Gotee All names fit them, some were female, some male... so Mars is a good name if you like it and it fits for you. Go with it.

My first cat was called Schroedinger (I read physics) and the rest have been named after other prominent physicists; so I have a Dirac, Heisenberg and a Newton so far.....
