franciscanheart Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Long story short, I've been on a roller coaster adopting this sweet little girl! She and four siblings were rescued by a friend from my parish. Ultimately, her three brothers ended up in a shelter (where they may have already been euthanized) and her sister is with another parish family. I pick her up tonight and I'd like to have a name tag made this weekend!Help me decide what to name this sweet little pussycat?Here are my reasons for the name choices (besides liking how they sound):1. AdelaidePatron of abuse victims, exiles and prisoners among other things. Her feast is two days after my birthday. Another saint by the same name was taken in by nuns and much beloved for her humility and goodness. That matches this kitten's personality. That Adelaide was also a contemplative. Perfect for a pussy, no?2. MarthaMore of a reminder for me to serve Christ in all things. Since she's so gentle and quiet, too, I thought this name would be fitting.3. JulianFor Julian of Norwich who holds a special place in my heart.4. JudePatron of Lost Causes! I really didn't think this little girl was going to make it until I could pick her up! It seemed she was destined for death at every turn. I literally prayed every day the Lord would give me a chance to help her.5. AnastasiaNo real reason. Just like the name. In honor of a martyr.6. LucyFeast is the day before my birthday. Patron of light. Her biography speaks often of being a light in darkness. This kitten is calico (very dark) and is a light in my life already. What a joy it will be to have a pet of my own!7. MargaretPatron of childbirth, pregnant women, and dying people, among other things. I have great interest in midwifery, all things pregnancy and a special place in my heart for those on death's door. Seems fitting.So... what say you, phatmass? Will you help me name my new pussycat?

Dr. Bombay Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I second Winchester. I third. There being no further objections, the motion is carried. This cat has a shot at being great with a name like Winchester. Maybe even number 1 with a bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriela Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 If Devilspawn, Hellcat, or Dander-Demon are out of the running, then I go for Jude, "my most powerful guardian". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franciscanheart Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Don't forget to vote in the poll. I'm using poll results. So far it looks like Adelaide may win. I'd call her Addie for short. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
