THANKFUL THURSDAY

Look, Marmie! Look! 

Is it a bird?  A plane?  Supercat?

I do really like my roommate Marmie, but she didn't look.

You missed it, Marmie!

I think I'd like her better if she was a bit more responsive.

Yes, I'd be thankful for that.

ORANGE KITTY GETS A NAME [Caturday Art]

Some may remember our post on January 27 (click here if you'd like to see it) when June introduced her roommate, orange kitty.  She mentioned that orange kitty didn't have a name, but said she was "open to suggestions".  Well, several friends in their comments offered up quite a few really great names . . . so . . . here's the rest of the story.

Hey, orange kitty ... I have a secret to tell you.  What?  Some or my, er, our

friends have suggested some wonderful names for you.  Because it's going

to be your name, I think you should be the one to choose! I can't wait! 

See, I've written all the names the suggested here on the green-board.

Look carefully.  Think it over.

And I'll tell you a little more about each name while you're thinking, OK? OK!

Perfect ~ Purrfect came from our friend CLEO.

Well, I do like that, I rather think I am "purrfect" you know!

Marmalade ~ Marmie came from the WOOS, Lightning, Timber and Misty.

Woo, Woo, I've heard Mom talk a lot about the Woos!

Ginger, this was from Meowmeowmans and no one knows more

kitty cat names than he does, fur sure!

Oh yes, cause he talks about beautiful, special and wonderful and 

new adoptable kitties every every day, Ginger, mmm.

Tomasina ~ this adorable name was suggested by Messymimi.

I kind of think I'd like to be called Messymimi actually (tee hee) but

Tomasina is very sweet, too ... that name is quite cool, tho!

And there was Punkin' from Shoko, way up and over in Canada!

I am Punkin' color and I know Shoko is a special furriend of yours, too!

And those special twins that we adore so much at the Eastside Cats,

they think you should be called Mabel or Maisie.

Oh, those are such sweet names from such sweet boys!

Dolly ~ Molly ~ Sally ~ all these came from Beau!

Do you mean Beau, as in Beaumont, like over at Four Paws ... 

oh my dog, I'm drooling how, the handsome one thought of me!!!

Now don't forget about Happy Day, this name came from Marv and JoJo

and Kozmo and Cinnamom and Angel Nellie, they all live

at Cats-astropic Cats.

Me oh my, I'd be a happy orange cat every day with a name like Happy Day!

And great minds think alike, our special friend Molly the Aire-dale

(remember, Dougie Dog has a crush on her) she also suggested

Marmalade!

Mmm, that's four for Marmalade.  Is that a sign or something ...

I wonder, I must ponder that ... and come to think of it, our Mom

lived a long time way down in the Sunshine State enjoying the sweet

smells of the orange groves ... sometimes spreading marmalade on her

hot biscuits or English muffins in the morning ... I wonder ...

And so it shall be, Sweet Marmalade, Sweet Me!

Thank you all for all the wonderful names ...

Thank you June for letting me sit on your rounder by the left-side window for my official portrait!

Love, Marmie, the Orange Kitty
