do you think i can submit this to swistle's baby name blog?

hi! so how were everyone's weekends? good? yes? did you get a kitten? oh, no?

BECAUSE I DID!

i've been in my new place for nearly two months, and oliver has definitely been lonely. the last house had two other cats who lived there, as well as the occasional dog or three, so i think the transition to Only Pet has been rough on him. he cries every time i leave, and he cries for attention for ten straight minutes every time i get home.

so i got him a friend :-)

this is.. um.. Female NoName, 10 weeks, according to her chart at the vet's office. she's a tiny, scrawny, supposedly-10-week-old Siamese of questionable heritage that someone was getting rid of on CraigsList.

she currently weighs 1lb, 11oz (which is basically NOTHING, it's like holding a piece of styrofoam) and is "runty," in the vet's words. she's very skittish and shy, and flees whenever i come into a room (or stand up in a room she's already in)... but has already fallen 100% in love with oliver.

oliver was a little spooked when i first brought her home, but quickly transitioned into displaying utter returned adoration, which he shows by alternately licking her face, licking her butt, and pinning her down onto the carpet by her head and pretending to bite her neck / legs / face off. i tried to keep her locked up in my bathroom when i first brought her home, since she hadn't been vaccinated or dewormed yet, but oliver broke her out of the bathroom twice (...??) so i gave up and just let them play together.

so now she needs a name. as you may or may not recall, oliver is actually named after the hot captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Oliver Wood. which yes, I KNOW HOW DORKY THIS IS, let's move on, shall we? i think my wee girl kitten should also have a harry potter name, but nothing so obvious as Hermione, and i don't really like Ginny or Cho. my current front runner is Fleur (as in Delacour). other suggestions have been Tonks, Minerva, Lily, and Molly (although then i'd have molly and oliver.. molly and ollie. do not want!) so let's do a comments-vote, a la swistle, shall we? vote on a name for the kitten!
