What's a good cat name?

My birthday is next Wednesday and Keli, as an early birthday present, took me to a Pets LifeLine in Sonoma (it’s a pet shelter) and let me pick out a cat. This is one of the MANY reasons why I love her to pieces, she is one of the most unselfish people I have ever met. She’s allergic to cats and STILL let me get one. She likes cats but because she’s allergic to them she is much more of a dog person. So the simple fact that she even considered letting me/us get a cat made me feel very loved.

So the cat I picked out is 5 months old. She’s what “they” call a “Torby” because her breed is a mix of a Tabby and of a Tortoise Shell cat. She’s quite pretty. She’s a shorthaired cat and is pretty spunky. The only problem is the pet shelter gave her a name of “Missy” which annoys the crap out of me. I knew a girl in school named Missy who annoyed me so the Missy name has got to go.

But I need help thinking of a name for a spunky female cat. Preferable not something obnoxiously pet-like such as “Patches” and not something like “Joe”. Of cource, naming a female cat Joe would be pretty cool…

Here are the options so far:

    • “Brody” – This was my idea. Brody is the name of the lead singer from The Distillers but that’s not why I thought of it.

      “Black” – When asked what she thought the cat’s name should be, Bailey promptly replied with this one.

      “Something food related” – This was Keli’s vote. I think she actually said it should be “Twizzler Feet”. She claims to be joking but I’m not so sure about that…
  • Please post in the comments if you have any name possibilities for our new cat. I’ll post a picture of it as soon as I can find the cable to hook my digital camera to the computer.
