We just adopted a new kitty, but she doesn't have a name :(

Right now we're referring to her as "McNoTail," because she's a manx, (manx don't have tails).

Any name suggestions? She can't be McNoTail forever!

@baldor1: I suggested Mickey, because I'm just so used to calling her McNoTail, or Mac, but it didn't get a good response.

@MissAsB: Good to know I'm not the only one! I was feeling a little guilty not calling her a real name yet.

@tall_jenny: Too many Charmed episodes ( I was obsessed)

@Scottielass: Haha! that actually made me laugh out loud :)

@amandagrace731: She's a ferocious eater, we call that picture "WTF, I am EATING" (okay, I just now made that up)

@serabell: I'm glad I'm not the only one that has name indecision! No one else ever takes as long as I do to name pets.

@kalliela: I (my mom) has a cat named Pumpkin! I took it upon myself to name her when my mom started calling her Marmalade. Before we went to the shelter I said I wanted to name a cat Bean, but I was outvoted. I can see you were thinking about food, haha :) Thanks for all the suggestions.

@serabell: The naming is hard. She seems too austere for cutesy kitty names like Fluffy and Princess, and she has a "brother" (my dog) named Pally (short for Paladin Took). Some days I want them to have matching names, both start with P or another LOTR character or just anything that has something to do with Paladin, but then I'm like "screw it, this will never work."

@CorgiTales: Haha, she's very serious about her food, and she has a mouth full of it. I think she has shelter/homeless related food loss anxiety.

@kalliela: That is definitely a crazy cat lady. My allergies would go crazy in that house!

@serabell: I considered Esmeralda, but I didn't want to end up calling her Esme (of Twilight fame). I like Eglantine and Pimpernel, but I don't want her to end up being called a shorter version (i.e. Pimp). I think I may be putting too much thought into this.

We've been considering: Louise (Weezy, because she's so sneezy), Addy, and Eowyn (Wynnie). I love love love Eowyn, but McNoTail seems so serious, and Wynnie is kind of whimsical.

@cliffette: I don't think she's ever met a horse, haha. But she seems to like other animals, so she might like them. Maybe someday we can go on a horse-meeting trip.

She's delightful, though!

Totally off topic, but there is a cat on petfinder that looks exactly like mine, except she has a tail. She's at the same shelter I adopted mine from, maybe they're sisters?

Forgot a picture of the lookalike, here she is.

I so want to get another kitty! I am in the "kitties need friends" camp, especially since I'm gone to class all day. I just don't know if it would be fair to have both of them in a tiny apartment. Also, I'm a starving college student, so I would hate to spend the money to get another cat and then have an emergency with the other one or my dog and not be able to pay the vet because I used all the money in the "pet fund."

They do get along, that's the reason we adopted this particular cat. She was the only cat at the shelter who liked Pally and us. But Pally lives at home (the 10 barking dogs that live around my apartment scare him to death), and kitty lives in my apartment. It's in the same town, so I see Pally all the time, but kitty and Pally don't see much of each other.

McNoTail has a name! We've decided to call her Pimpernel, Piper for short (since we weren't feeling Pimper).

@serabell:Yes! Now I can make her a vet appointment without the embarrassment of them thinking I actually named her McNoTail (which is her new last name, in case she ever needs one). I've still been calling her "kitty" and McNoTail, but she will actually respond to Piper, so that's helpful.
