Why I Love Owning My Own Home, recent additions to the list:
* We have a garage. Even though I’m a total idiot who scraped off the sideview mirror last week while backing out of it, I’m in love with having a garage.
My car is the one that fits in the garage (there’s still a bunch of crap in there), which means my car is the one that does not need to be shoveled out, scraped off, or pre-heated. The garage is made of win, and now I don’t hate winter quite so freaking much.
* Since it’s ours, we get to decide on the appropriate level of catness or dogness, and last night we decided that we should increase our level of catness by +1.
She’s 3 years old, needed a new home due to a grumpy old dog, and she likes us. We brought her home last night and have been keeping her in NinjaHusband’s office till she gets used to being in a new place, then we’ll let her run free. Her previous family (N’s aunt & uncle) called her Missy, but we’re trying to come up with something else to call her. So far “Cat Benatar” is high on the list, as is “Miss Kitty Face.”
Any name suggestions?
I like “Cat Benatar,” myself. (And pretty kitty, BTW.)
Puppy or Doggy or Fido or Turtle or Fishy! If you prefer a longer name (and you know I do), you could to something like Puppy the Cat. Or Turtle the Cat! Gah! I could go on, but I think you get the idea. Apparently I love the idea of confusing signs and signifiers.
that is why i want my own home.
1) a driveway (our car has been hit twice parked on quiet “safe” streets)
2) a washer/dryer that doesn’t need quarters
3) i can have a “real” pet.
but i’m bad at names without meeting the recipient. give her a lot of love for me and one day i’ll work on your house warming present. kitties get gifties too. 😉
I would love to own a home for those particular reasons.
I love the name Miss Kitty Face.
I offer up the name Lunch. I think it’s a good name for a cat – and Lunchy is a great endearing version.
@ Femiknitter – I came up with lots of good names (I thought), like Nota Bene, Citation, and Footnote. However, she hasn’t responded to them and NinjaHusband looked on them with disdain. He likes names of female video game characters. Blerg. The search continues.
Although, @ Sarah – Lunch is kind of hilarious.
I want to name a pet Samwise Gamje. How do you spell that? I vote for Cat Benetar though. I want to meet said kitteh!
Cat Benetar! Sweet name!
Or Beth. That’s a good name.
When can I meet her?
What about Gerund? It sounds near enough to a real name that it might get the Nick stamp of approval. Have about Gerund, the Lady Cat?
BTW: I DO support Cat Benetar, but if I had veto power, I would nix Miss Kitty Face. No, no.
What about just naming her Cat? Cat the Cat! Catty McCatterson?
