Update & One eyed kitty

Hi everyone. Just stopping by with an update and a question.
My sugar cat, Brandy is doing well! Her #s have been a bit unstable since she got her steroid shot, but I expected that. She is coming back to normal now. Except for the chin acne issue which I'm treating, she's doing pretty good. It's a work in progress, but the diabetes seems to be doing pretty well.

We lost two kitties late last year as you may recall. And, I must be out of my ever loving mind lol but I adopted a new one.

She is only about 8 weeks old. She was hit by a car and badly injured. She had one eye surgically removed by the animal shelter who saved her. She was brought in by a kind police officer and his wife, who found her on the road. She was found beside her deceased sibling. Saw her picture at the shelter online - my heart broke for her and I just could not leave her there, so She's now ours. Coincidentally, she looks like a miniature Brandy. She's another calico...tiny precious little thing. Next week she will get her sutures removed from her eye.

Here is a picture of her. What she has been through at her tender age breaks my heart, but she will never ever suffer again.





She loves kisses, she purrs like crazy and she is just the sweetest thing ever. I need help in choosing a name for her. If anyone wants to throw out some suggestions, that would be great! Thanks a lot!
She is simply precious and beautiful. I thought of calling her Rose or Rosie because even with one eye, to me, she is beautiful (and it's almost Valentine's Day) thoughts??

 

Aww she is beautiful! Her expression says "are you my mom? I need someone to trust!"

 

She is precious and to have gone through so much in her short life so far. Kudos to you for adopting her.

 

It is me that is blessed. She has been through so much indeed. I absolutely LOVE her. We all do. Her days of suffering are over forever. This little baby is a testament to how great animals are...the things she's endured and she is so trusting and loving. <3 Any name ideas?

 

don't think this one sent last time. She is a great addition to our family. She's worth everything

 

I like Rose! But since you're asking....as cliche as it sounds...I would name her Trust

 

How about Precious. Since you mentioned Valentine's day, there is Valentine, maybe Valerie, Cupid. Kinda like Trudy.

Just thought of Markie, because of her color marks.

 

What a doll baby your new kitty is! I'd name her Amber, because she has the color of Amber in her fur.

Poor little baby, she really did get a rough start! Thank you for deciding to give her a forever home. She's earned it.

 

oh boy... valerie, amber, trudy...so many choices. These are all good! Thank you. I like Precious too - it's tough lol

 

she s just lovely!! how lucky for all of you....
I like Andys idea of trust--
Fides was the Goddess of trust-
I also like Nyx--Goddess of the night

 

Amy - Belovéd.

After such a traumatic start to life it is so good to know that ...

I wish your little one a long, happy and healthy life, and also that you may both find great joy in each other's company.

She's resting - sleepy head today. I can't even take how adorable and sweet she is! <3 <3

 

I think I would just sit and cuddle her all day. Another name. Marissa.

 

I wonder how long before she fits in that bed unless she bribes you to rescue another

 

well I have been cuddling her non stop except when she gets super tired. Her surgery was only about 10 days or less ago. It will break my heart to go to work tomorrow lol
I will miss the little lovebug!!!

 

ohh no. She is number FIVE!!! lol But I went to a local place to drop off some food for the kitties and I had to visit her (at least) and when she purred like crazy when I held her - that was it. there was nooo way I could leave without her! Nooo way. I waited almost 3 hours to take her home but she is worth that and thensome

 

Maybe leave a t-shirt or similar for her to cuddle up to so that she can be comforted by your scent while you're at work.

 

yes, will do! good idea. My husband will be home most the day and he can check on her periodically. I won't leave her out of her room unsupervised for a little while because she's too small and fragile still. But I'll be racing home to kiss her lol

 

Something tells me hubby's going to be a poor substitute!

 

LOL Yeah, probably - though he was lying down on the floor petting her a while ago and she was "making dough" SUPER CUTENESS alert lol
But yeah I probably kiss her little head 100 times a day

 

Oh what a beautiful baby!!!! Welcome home sweet little one! A friend posted a huge list of names and meanings a couple of weeks ago so I'm just going to copy it here for you - maybe you can find one that fits just right:

I like Lovie too! Oh man, this is tough

 

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
All of them sensible everyday names.

There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter--
But all of them sensible everyday names.

But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?

Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
Names that never belong to more than one cat.

But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover--
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.

When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

- T S Eliot

 

Oh, goodness... she's just about the sweetest, cutest little girlie I've ever seen! Those pictures are definitely "worth a thousand words". Kudos to you for giving her a forever home! I see you've had lots of suggestions for names, so I guess I'd better get in on offering up a suggestion, too. I'm thinking Eyerene... pronounced the same way as the traditional spelling of Irene. Or maybe Eyevie... also pronounced as the traditional name of Ivy. Whatever name you decide upon, best of luck to you and your beautiful furbaby. Hugs to both of you.

 

She is a little doll! Thanks I like those names! Thank you. We are still thinking (well, she's sleeping lol)

 

CUTENESS ALERT! lol My big boy (1 1/2 yr old Mulder) cleaning the little baby! He even has his paw on her back to hold her still ! LOL I have the nicest cats ever.
I knew they would love her and be nice to her ..awwww

 

You said she's a "little doll", how about "Dolly"?

 

ooooh Dolly! That's super cute too. I like Grace / Gracie also. dolly is cute!

 

I bet @Marje and Gracie would be honored if you chose that name

 

Well, just look at your handsome big boy helping care for your new baby. That's amazing... he's amazing, especially this early on in the adoption game. It's been my experience to expect a lot of hissing and growling and not getting along from the established felines. You do, indeed, have the nicest cats!

And @Mogmom and Goofus, I really like Dolly. That seems like a fit. Also, Gracie is a sweet name, too. My little Hannah's name means "grace" in Hebrew.

 

she can fit in your pocket

 

OH MY GOODNESS!!! This needs to be a poster!!

 

The two boys just lovvve her. Brandy the sugar girl ehhhh she's 7 so she cant be bothered and the other girl not so much lol She will hiss for a few days and then She will get over it

 

I would because she is so adorable and kind of puffs her chest out like Gracie did.

What about Bennett? It means "blessed". And she certainly is.

 

The boys are licking her like candy--I think Shugah may be appropriate

 

Congratulations to your family on the addition of four paws of utter cuteness. Thank goodness for families like your's who take in those that have had a tough time. Keep sending the pics!

 

She's a beautiful cat, and has been through so much, it seems she's on her second life. If you think her name should be Rose, perhaps you've already named her!

 

She's beautiful!!! What a little darling! Have you named her yet? I like Belle/Bella for beauty, or Cherish for your love and care for her. Please send more pics and let us know how she is coming along!

 

Hi everyone. I haven't named her yet. Just can't decide. Im still thinking of grace/gracie or ^^^bella would be nice too! I have been so busy with her becuz she came home with that kennel upper respiratory thing but the medicine they gave didn't work and she got worse! Poor baby got so sick and congested! I didn't want to wait for my free appointment at the shelter so we took her to our regularl vet on wednesday. He gave a stronger antibiotic. Im giving her kitty high calorie vitamin gel too as the cold has made her not eat much. The new med seems to be working but slowly. She had the stitches removed from her eye today. Poor baby. Im trying to get her well fast. Love her

 

Adorable!

 

Awwwwwww, she's such a sweetie! When naming all of my kitties throughout the years, I have a rule: Live with them for a couple of weeks before deciding on a name. All of a sudden, one name in particular will be a purr-fect fit. Hope she'll be feeling better very soon.

 

OMG! What a beeeeauuutiiiful little girl! So young and already a hit with the boys! I've always held off naming my furkids until I had a good feel for their personalities and/or special qualities too. But since you asked for name suggestions, what about Elsa, after the brave lioness in Born Free! Wishing her a quick recovery!

 

Smiley, she's beautiful! Thank you for taking her in. I'm so glad Mulder already loves her. I'm bad at the name thing but I agree with the others: the right name will come to you.

 

Ooh, I really like that! It would be a beautiful and unusual name for a beautiful and unusual kitty.

Nice one, Lucy.

Does anyone know if L-lysine can help with upper respiratory tract issues?

 

I used L-Lysine when my little one was sneezing and had runny eyes and it seemed to help a bit but then I was giving it for kitty herpes virus. If the little one has a bacterial issue or a different virus, not sure it if it would help or not. Wouldn't hurt though!

 

Oh my gosh, she's just so adorable, keep the pics coming, lol! I'll keep coming back to look at her pics when I need a smile! She's just too cute, and SO much heart in such a tiny little body!

 

She is looking good. Look how big her ears are and feet she might be a big kitty!!!

 

Lol, she looks like she has some secret knowledge that none of the rest of us have.

BTW, Mulder is quite handsome, too!

 

For some of my kitties I just knew from the get-go that I had the right names for them. But when the name doesn't present itself immediately I do the same thing as you describe above, Carol. It really helps.

Of course, she has: she's a cat!


.

 

Angel(cause her guardian angel was watching over her),winks(cause of her eye),Cali,cuddles,Patches.probably will come up with more after thinking a bit lol

 

She could be called Cherie, for short.

 

Hannah came from a litter of seven kitties that had been dumped off in a field on a cold October day in 2001. The receptionist at our vet's office found six of them on her way home from work one evening. Her headlights shown on something in the field and she stopped to investigate. Sure enough, she found six shivering and very sad little furbabies. She gathered them up and took them home. On her way back to work the next morning, kittens in the back seat, something told her to stop one more time and check the location of her discovery. Sure enough, there was one more lost little soul. So she gathered the little loner up and went on to work, seven little sweethearts now in the back seat. Our vet and his staff cared for them and were diligent in finding good homes for all of them. The receptionist ended up adopting two of those little orphans. One, the little female, she named Willow. The other, a little male, had an injured eye and appeared to always be winking. She named him Winky. Just more food for thought as you come closer to naming your new addition. Hugs.

 

@Blamethecats and Hannah -

After being on the receiving end of such cruelty as a tiny kitten I am so glad that little Hannah found you, Carol. She could not have a better or more devoted momma to care for her. You fill her life with love. (Was Hannah the 'straggler?')

I will never know. Asked that question, but the staff at the vet's office didn't know which kitty was which and the receptionist wasn't there the day I chose Hannah to be my furever baby. A few weeks later, when I took Hannie back for vaccines and a checkup, they told me that the receptionist had gotten married and moved out of town with her new husband... I never saw her again. However, a couple of years later when I again took Hannah in for an appointment of some sort, Winky and Willow were there, being boarded while Sharon and her hubby were away on an extended vacation. They were beautiful, big kitties by then. What a joy to see them again!

 

What a lovely reunion.

I had a cat named kittydid when I was younger.i couldn't come up with a name for her but she was always getting into trouble making messes etc.when everyone would ask who did this i said the kitty did it so I decided kittydid was a good name for her Lol.

 

Awwwwww, good one, @Cat girl. Thanks for sharing. It gave me a smile.

 

Me, too.
