They really will tell you and, if you give them the name they want, they will be very happy and proud. I asked 3 ACs to ask Dixie what she wanted for a name. One bombed (apparently Dixie was not interested in talking to her at all); the other two came up with names they didn't even want to tell me about. Individually they didn't work at all but Dixie and I played with them and got Dixie Louise. I asked her months later about her birthday.............all I could hear was the chorus to "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy" modified to "I'm a Dixie Doodle Dandy." She got the 3rd name she asked for -- Dixie Louise Doodle Katt-- and her birthday is a national holiday. We really need to listen to our four legged friends.
I hope all of yours are doing well. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

Some have tested FeLV+. One of the cats that tested negative and is awaiting a retest is a cocoa colored cat. He is all brown. I have never seen a cat like this in person. Anyway, his name was Reuben and we are searching for a better name. The possibilitties so far are Cocoa, Chocolate Boy, and Whitman, none of which I care for. If anyone can think of a name for a chocolate colored cat, can you please let me know. You can email me off list if you want. And please keep your fingers crossed he retests negative.
