He is adorable!!

He could lose the grey whispies....our Lola Bean did.

Here she is as a kitten the day we brought her home from Cat Welfare (they gave her ear mite medicine before she left, so that's why her ears look gooey):

And here she is at about 9 months old (she's 3 years now):

Jenn....your girlie is sooo cute! I bet my little guy will look like her :D.


Updates as requested....

Little guy went to the vet today. He checked out well, but he is definitely no older then 8 weeks....my vet said more like 7 weeks. Since I saw my baby at the mall last Saturday, that means he was 6 weeks then and was already neutered at least a few days before then :(. He only weights 1lbs 9oz! I hadn't seen this particular vet yet and he said that feeding canned food was bad and the more dry food, the better :rollseyes. I seriously don't get why vets pay so much money for school and learn crap about nutrition, jeeze!

I had to get a little container for a fecal test, so I need to bring in fresh poopies Monday morning :p. Hopefully he doesn't have any parasites. The vet said my baby is very skinny, so it could mean that he does. BUT....I told him that he has gained some fat since getting getting him on Thursday, so that is good!

Still no name :?. I am just clueless on his name!!!

I just adore him, as does Ryan. He is our perfect little kitty right now, but ask me when he starts ripping through the house like a 90lbs Newfie when he gets a bit bigger/older :biggrin2:.

At least it isn't a full grown Newfie. Although an adult might be calmer than a puppy, even if it is 50 pounds bigger. :p

He is cute though.
 
Aww, I went right to the bottom of the page and saw Denise's reply and thought maybe you'd named him Zephyr. I love Zephyr!

I have a list with about 100 names on it that I like for kitties. One of my favorites of Omri. You can use it as long as you don't mind me possibly naming my cat Omri when I get one! :)

Amy, what kind of name are you looking for?
I'm not exactly sure, lol. I am totally clueless on a name :(. I was telling Ryan that it is almost like our little guy has always been in our family, so it doesn't seem like he needs to be named....it seems like he already has a name. Does that make sense?

I want something easy to say, human or non-humane name. Nothing super generic. I've been searching non stop for a name...its driving me crazy!
 
I actually just thought of "Quil" or "Quill". We just saw New Moon today, so it popped into my head when I was thinking of wolf names. Quil apparently means "cub".

I'll run it by Ryan. I'll bet he won't like it :p.
 
So...... "Quil" is his name :biggrin2:. For those who missed my post above, "Quil" was a character in the Twilight Saga...he turns into a werewolf & his name means "cub". Since our little guy really reminds me of a wolf as far as looks go...Quil just seems fitting :).

Amy, I know exactly what you mean. Names are really important to me and I'm not happy until I finally find the perfect name for a pet. I still don't think I got Skyler's name quite right, about a year ago I ran across the name Cael and it would have been perfect for him, but I didn't want to change his name after 8 months!

Maybe telling us some of the names you're considering would help you decide which one you like best?

Ooh I have another suggestion, how about Pax? I almost suggested Felix because I love that name (for a child), but I guess for a cat that name isn't unique at all :D
 
Oops, disregard the above post! I missed the second page of replies. I'm glad you found a name for him, Quil is perfect. He really does look rather wolf like! Congrats!
 
A little update.....Quil is doing very well with us. We adore him, as does the other animals. Hes so full of character and just like what Zaide would have been, if he had been leading a normal life. We know Quil has a part of Zaide in him. This morning we were joking that since Zaide was about 2-3lbs when he died at 7 months old, that Quil will end up being a 20lbs cat :p.

This little dude eats like a pig. He's eating dry food & over 6oz of canned food per day...in multiple meals. He's always screaming for food.

You know....I wanted a baby Persian kitten so bad since seeing the image in my head of one (the image I think Zaide sent me)...but I wake up every morning to a little fluffy baby nestled into my arms and it reminds me that he is kind of like a Persian in a way....he's got that Persian personality and I didn't need to pay $300+ for him....instead I rescued him from the shelter for half of that. He cries when I open my eyes and purrs up a storm. He's just perfect :hearts.


Soooooo - new Quil pictures :biggrin2:!

Since Quily is long haired, he will need to be bathed & groomed a lot. I plan to give him his first bath this week. He's already used to being brushed out every other night and even lets me trim his nails with no struggles. He just flops over onto his back & lets me touch him legs/feet and work around his belly & arm pits :p.
 
Wow, he is so pretty! And I'm really glad bunnies can't meow because Ned would drive us crazy crying for food all the time.
 
Also, Amy, the ratty things arrived today! Did you sprinkle ratnip all over them or something? The girls FREAKED OUT, they were so excited. Annabell was climbing into the small star dome before I even set it down and they were both grabbing everything and dragging them around. They like the little toys too! Thanks a ton!

No ratnip, just made with love :p.

I am so glad that they like them! Do they fit inside of stuff okay? I'm really sorry about what happened with all of the shipping troubles.
