alas, this is the post that may cause JMC to never speak to me again.
i've named the kitten! but.. um... i didn't name her tonks. even though that's what the poll consensus was. I'M SORRY! I'M REALLY REALLY SORRY! it's just that.. well... she's all delicate and dainty and not loud and rambunctious. instead she's shy, and quiet, and very sweet, and... just not a tonks. oliver is a tonks, frankly.
so i went with bella. it's such a sweet, lovely name, and if she ends up being evil once she grows up a bit... well hell, perfect, i'll just call her by her FULL name of bellatrix.
in other news, she and oliver are still getting along famously. the catch-oliver's-tail game apparently never gets old, and this morning he was flopped on the floor so i could pet him, and she came up to his head, PUT HER LITTLE FRONT PAWS ON HIS FORHEAD, and started licking his ears. and then i died.
so: i'm sorry, JMC! also everyone who voted for tonks in the poll! but trust me on this, bella suits her really, really well. and bella & oliver sound pretty nice together, no? (hint: answer is YES.) a few more pictures here for anyone interested..
Bella is a pretty name.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are adorable!
Cute! Cute! Cute! Now I want a kitty.
ReplyDeleteYay for Bella!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it! I always call my Belle , Bella.
ReplyDeleteYou're becoming the crazy cat lady with all these kitty posts. Does that bother you? :-)
ReplyDeleteI was looking at these pictures earlier, on Flickr, and I was very proud of myself for surviving and not dying of the cute. But then you posted them on your blog and that was the last straw. And now I am dead.
ReplyDeleteYes!! I just cheered aloud. Thank God I'm the last one here.
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah. You remember the ass kicking we were discussing... ;)
ReplyDeleteOkay, Bella is a nice name. I GUESS I'll get over it. *sniff*
Kittens! Your kitties are SO CUTE together, I think I just died.
ReplyDeleteLove Bellatrix for a name. A-freakin-dorable!
Dying of cuteness. And Flickr? I clicked through to every single enlargement of those pictures! :)
ReplyDeletebellaaaaaa, love it.
ReplyDeleteactually i think i even like bellatrix a little more. haha
I am SO not a cat person. But your little ones playing together? Are seriously adorable.
ReplyDeleteShe is too cute for her own good! Makes me want one.
ReplyDeleteSooooooooo cute!!! And even though I also voted for Tonks, from how you describe her, Bella sounds perfect. (But I hope she does not grow into a Bellatrix.)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Bella is adorable!
ReplyDeleteCxx
She'd have to have pink fur for me to consider Tonks. But Bella sure is cute!
ReplyDeleteI like Bella. I think you gotta go with what feels right...good call on that.
ReplyDeleteLoved the name you picked out. Unfortunately I couldn't view the pics/videos that you put up but I can sense that she's adorable.
ReplyDeleteBella and Oliver...sounds like an emo band or something.
