WHAT WILL TEH IAN NAME HIS NEW KITTY?!!!!!

Stuart was snatched from the jaws of death by someone who bravely pulled away a dog who was attacking him on the street. He has a number of scratches and puncture wounds but is otherwise OK. He is a very friendly black and white male whose good nature probably prevented him from recognizing trouble before it bit him. He is shown here having a good stretch before settling in for more petting. We think he was born in 2006.
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Black & White Age: Adult
Size: Medium Sex: Male

Thoghts so far: Mustard, Colossus, Sharpie, Dr. Morbius, Monocle.

i really like the name stuart fwiw

Mordechai

i like Sharpie

someone already suggested mordechai today. i thought maybe Malachi would be better, but what do I know.

I think Stuart is a nice name, but I don't want no one callin my cat Stewie.

Raekwon

stewie should not be allowed unless it's spelled stewart, which it's not, so fuck those ppl who would call him stewie.

sharpie IS good

he is clawin my mattress as we speak.

is he eating his food? he is so skinnny

Raekwon would be cool.

"Where's the Chef? Oh, he's taking a nap on my laptop."

What if I named him after a day of the week? Say... Friday?
Or I could call him DUPLEX (all caps.)

xpost: he has been eating well. he follow me around wherever i go. i should get him some tooooys.

Rudie, if he has tuxedo pattern

Bodiddley. One word.

i kinda like raekwon actually

his demeanor is NOT very gangsta.

Peter Jennings

TAKEN

actually rudie made me think of the huxtables (even though spelling is off and rudy was a girl). can we use a cosby name? actually maybe if i ever get a female cat i will call her lisa bonet ---> hot!

evocative coffee-house fave Chan Marshall

hahahaha

cathulhu!

I will name my cat... 1992.

Sharpie! DUPLEX! He is black and white, after all.

I could name him Detective.
Or "Seargent"

SALMON RUSHDIE

cathulhu!

^^^^^this

Purrito

purrito breath

lock thread.

panthero

sharpie or DUPLEX! are my favourites
though i like 1992 as well

stuart is a decent name though - i do like giving cats people names - my 11-yr-old cat that i got when he was a v small kitten is called noam, but my 6-yr-old cat that i got when he was 3 is called cougar b/c that's the name he had and i know the family who gave him to me. but i did think about renaming him with a person name.

i am so happy you have a kitten, ian :)

cougar is ok though because it is like top gun

ICE

GOOSE

LASER

MALIBU

Sharpy/ie seems to be the consensus. it's a good cat name.

i think only cougar and goose are acceptable. but maybe you should not give a cat another animal name.

i still like purrito breath.

sharpey
sharpi
sharpê

haha yeah!
i bet there are a bunch of cats out there named maverick. or at least a bunch of cats in the late 80s were named that. or goose. iceman.

giant xpost lol!

I was going to suggest Murdock and then I remembered it's from the A-Team.

for the thirtieth time, all domesticated animals should just be named "shit for brains" or "jackass" or something similar, since that is what they will get called more often than their "real name," which is mostly used to introduce them to visitors. only problem, if you lose them or they run away, it's not really cool to have to put up signs saying "answers to dickhead"

"Stuart"

You know what Stuart? I like you. You're not like the other people here
in the trailer park. Oh no, don't get me wrong, they're fine people, good
Americans. But they're content to sit back, maybe watch a little Mork and
Mindy on channel 57. Maybe kick back a cool Coors 16-ouncer. They're
good fine people, Stuart. But they don't know what the queers are doing
to the soil.

You know that Johnny Werzner kid - the kid who delivers papers in the
neighborhood? He's a fine kid. Some of the neighbors say he smokes
crack, but I don't believe it. Anyway, for his 10th birthday, all he
wanted was a burrow owl, just like his old man. "Dad, get me a burrow
owl. I'll never ask for anything else as long as I live". So the guy
breaks down and buys him a burrow owl. Anyway at 10:30 the other night I
go out into my yard and there's the Werzner kid looking up in the tree. I
said, "What are you looking for?" He said, "I'm looking for my burrow
owl." I say, "Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick! Everybody knows that a
burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground! Why the hell do you think they
call it a burrow owl, anyway?!" Now Stuart, do you think a kid like that
is gonna know what the queers are doing to the soil?

I first became aware of this, about 10 years ago, the summer my oldest boy
Bill Jr. died. You know that carnival that comes to town every year?
Well this year it came with a ride called the Mixer. The man said "Keep
your head and arms inside the mixer at all times." But Bill Jr., he was a
daredevil, just like his old man. He was leaning out saying, "Hey
everybody! Look at me, look at me!" POW! He was decapitated. They found
his head over by the snowcone concession. A few days after that, I open
up the mail and there's a pamphlet in there, from Pueblo, Colorado. And
it's addressed to Bill Jr. And it's entitled, "Do you know what the
queers are doing to our soil?"

Now Stuart, if you look at the soil around any large U.S. city with a big
underground homosexual population - Des Moines, Iowa, perfect example.
Look at the soil around Des Moines, Stuart. You can't build on it, you
can't grow anything in it. The government says it's due to poor farming.
But I know what's really going on, Stuart. I know it's the queers.
They're in it with the aliens. They're building landing strips for gay
Martians. I swear to God.

You know what Stuart, I like you. You're not like the other people, here
in the trailer park.

this is why it's okay that mr kitty is named mr kitty. in hindsight dr ben would have been better as "bozo" or "clown"

but what if chastising your pets comes more in the form of "stop being an asshole" then it is okay to call your pet Flower or Moondoggle.

Tombot 8080, really -- my dog got called "fathead" or "bozo" more often that not

Haha upstairs neighbor's cat is named Fathead.

our dog gets doofus, retard, spazhead, galoot but mostly veruca. ooo..there is a money spider on me.

i call most animals "guy" most of the time.

You mom's weeping vagina

I would really really like a kitty but I is allergic. =(

Do not like dogs. Filthy, violent things.

Except puppies

u are RONG about dogs but I will still give you a delightful fact about cats (and any animal): you can get used to them allergies-wise if you live with one long enough.

that's comforting

I lived with a dog once. It pooped on the floor and walked in it and walked around with a poopy foot and then ate the remaining poop. Dogs.

i need to get digicam batteries tomorrow.

other names:
Okra
Pharaoh
Tiberius
Wings
Scrapple

actually I'm beginning to think dr ben believes his name is "WAHT" bcz he'll be hanging out in the foyer yowling and yapping about something the way he does because he's a ludicrous fool and I'll be in here and hear him and say "what?!?" and he all of a sudden will shut up and bolt into the bedroom and stare at me.

rorschach.

Maybe the advent of CATBOOK and DOGBOOK will convince Ian to get a facebook profile :D

i was actually thinking or rorschach, kevin!
since he is mostly black and all.
also since he is the best character by far in watchmen.

is he a right-wing vigilante?

"wings" is really good

is he a right-wing vigilante?

name of thread implies that he is a cat, so yes. Also an inveterate rapist prone to incredibly sadistic homicidal acts whenever confronted with bugs, birds, fish or rodents.

i like okra but for some reason i feel that'd be better suited for a female kitty.

i heard that a name has been decided upon...

call him jerry orbach

i also heard that rumor. i still want pics!

jerry orbach is a good name.

ivan is getting way friendlier and more playful and putting on some much needed weight. ian is a good cat owner!

how old?

about a year. not sure exactly.

someone just forwarded me pics of two five week old part russian blue kittens up for adoption. i want one but i am afraid my big kitty will think it is a little snack for her. if anyone is interested i can send the email...

prussian blue kittens? who got knocked up, lynx or lamb?

Ivan has been my best friend for nearly twelve years. I can barely remember living in the city without him. He has been struggling with health problems for a year and a half now, and today we said goodbye. Totally heartbroken.

ian i'm sorry. you got ivan a few years before i got my tuxedo pal but he reminds me of her from pictures. i know he was great. he had the best twelve years. r.i.p.

so sorry to hear ... words fail in a situation like this. deepest condolences and RIP ivan.

sorry ian : (
