Noel?

"Tia" means talkative one in one of the native Indian languages in my area... Squamish Indian I think

... which reminds me of a former colleague named Dov.

(According to the site above, linked by richlevy, that means Bear)

Friday (or the day you picked he/her out)

Slick (my black Bombay is Slick)
Shorty (if a shorthair)
Janis
Chris(sy) (for Christmas cat)
El Gato
Han or Hanny (for hannukah, forgive the spelling)

Well, right now Mrs. Levy is making potato pancakes downstairs.

So how about 'latke' (pronounced lot-kuh).

It was also the name of Andy Kaufman's character in Taxi (he spelled it Latka).

"Thankyouverymuch'.

...and he was black.... ;)



Bacon would be a great name for a cat....

Kitteh get brisses too?? ouch, poor kitteh....

First of all, thanks to everyone who responded. There were some very excellent suggestions, and some that made me LOL.


Rich, yours is a capital idea, and so I've decided to springboard off it. Instead of naming her Latke (or Latka) I've decided to name her Simcha (Latka's wife on the show) which also means "a joyous occasion," which, sweetly, is appropriate for Xmas, too.

So Simcha it is.

Simcha got a clean bill of health by the vet today and is now asleep in my home office. Next week she gets her tubes tied. It will be a while before she acclimates and before my other two acclimate to having a kitten around.

Thanks again for everyone's help. And Rich, enjoy your latkes. My mouth is watering.

Too damned cute.

Simcha. . . love it! :)

Ooh, I love the hint of red/brown in her fur -- what a pretty girl!

Beautiful cat. Her fur is so glossy.

I used to have a cat when I was a kid but now I'm allergic to pretty much anything with fur.

I'm honored that you were inspired by my suggestion. Simcha is a lovely name.

It is a lovely name!






But I do keep reading it as "Kimchee."

I liked her better in the Princess Bride
