Little. Black. Precious.

We got a new kitten last night from the ASPCA. She's black, medium haired. Adorable in all respects and, might I add, has the brass cajones enough to take on our older gray cat. Did I mention the Lauren Bacall meow? This cat was smoking way too much at the pound.

We were sitting on the sofa, watching the feline gymnastic floor show trying to decide on a name. We searched the net for all kinds of names. What midnight, black, jet and other synonyms were in different languages. We really liked Midnight Black in Vietnamese: Hyun. But it didn't address her spunky side. So we decided on Ninja. Yes, I can hear you now... Should have been Kunoichi! But try spelling that at the vet's office.

Fine, fine.... When my husband gets home I'll call a family meeting and we'll discuss it. Nyah.

(I suppose women, like cats, have the prerogative to change their minds.)

I'll add pictures later.

Peace.
