I'm not sure if it was a little premature for me to shop for a new kitten, but we brought one home today. The shelters aren't open when we'd have time to look in those, so we went to a pet store. We pretty much only had three choices.. all solid black, and all male. We picked the most frisky and playful one.. and I think we made a good choice. I like him more and more as the hours pass.
We locked our other cat, Tripod, in our room while the new little guy explored the entire house. Then we gave him his first bath before introducing them to each other. It went way better than I could have imagined! They locked eyes, slowly walked toward each other, sniffed noses a couple of times, then one walked away. They've already been playing together - running up and down the hallway, playing with toys, and in boxes. They're going to get along great!
The only problem is - we dont really know what to call him! So I need your help! He's very sweet and gentle, very much wants your approval, he's submissive, loves to explore. Doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. Easily distracted. Likes to cuddle and LOVES to play!
He's 7 months old and was in foster care before going up for adoption. He's solid black with one small patch of white on his abdomen. He has almost a rolling cry when he talks.. almost like a bird or something. I dont know how to describe it - but its cute (for now).
Here are some action shots of him.. lol. He hardly sits still for more than a second.
We've thought of Shadow - because he's black and follows us everywhere.. but it still doesn't seem to fit his personality. He needs something a little more spunky. Turbo suits him but I dont know if I want that to be his name. I like the name Diesel. TELL ME YOUR SUGGESTIONS!! Feel free to post them here or email me: shutterbelle@hotmail.com

Luna is cute
Flash -- like Jumping Jack Flash -- or the flash on your camera
I also like Nero -- not for any particular reason. :)
Chelley - its so funny that you mentioned Flash! My mom and I were trying to figure out some camera-related name to go with Tripod, and Flash came to mind!! I ran it by Ted and he likes it too since its also a comic superhero character. So we've called him Flash a couple of times tonight to see how it feels.. and I think its the one we're going to choose!
