16 Jul 04 - 07:51 PM (#1227342) Subject: RE: BS: New Kitten!! From: GUEST,Blackcatter (too lazy to reset cookie) Hey, Do many people in the U.S. call them "Tortie"? I've never heard it used before. Yes, Tortoise Shell and definately calico. But I've only lived in Cal., Colo. and Florida. We used to have a kitty years ago that was orange and white and gray. Her name was Snickers. Someone at work suggested the name after learning her colors. I've never figured out how she arrived at that. |
|
16 Jul 04 - 08:30 PM (#1227361) Subject: RE: BS: New Kitten!! From: CapriUni Blackcatter -- maybe "Snickers" came from the colors of a Snickers candy bar (milk chocolate, nougat, caramel, and peanuts)? |

16 Jul 04 - 09:03 PM (#1227378) Subject: RE: BS: New Kitten!! From: JennieG Our Binky is a tortie with more white on her that the kitty in the picture - my sons named her after Death's horse in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. She is usually known in this house as The World's Friendliest Cat, especially at 5am.......she loves us to death then..... Cheers JennieG |

16 Jul 04 - 11:11 PM (#1227439) Subject: RE: BS: New Kitten!! From: freightdawg Meow!! Congratulations on the kitty! May she live long and prosper. (That would make her a Vulcat!) We have two little kitties now. One is a long hair Tortie, the other is a short hair cross between a Tortoise Shell and a Tabby (her tabby lines are very soft, but noticeable.) I've heard Tortoise Shells called Torties, and we live in NM and truly love our kitties. One day we will get pictures up in the Members section. Freightdawg |

17 Jul 04 - 06:24 AM (#1227549) Subject: RE: BS: New Kitten!! From: GUEST,Jon Why not give it 2 names? Pip and I call cats different things and although Pip does not approve, the cats don't seem to mind as long as I give them food - in fact 3 out of our 4 are more likely to come if I call them than if Pip does by their "posh names". We have Oedipuss/ Weedypuss Mewan/Fleabag Delia/Chitling (Bella is just Bella but she never "speaks" to me) Now I've got thinking... Isn't there something by TS Eliot on the names cats have? |

17 Jul 04 - 06:31 AM (#1227550) Subject: RE: BS: New Kitten!! From: GUEST,Jon Found it: 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. |

17 Jul 04 - 12:54 PM (#1227691) Subject: RE: BS: New Kitten!! From: Blackcatter CapriUni, I knew that was the connection, but really, the cat was white, gray and orange. Not exactly colors you find in a Snickers Bar. I'll put up a picture and provide a link. She was a remarkably beautiful cat. |

17 Jul 04 - 02:36 PM (#1227761) Subject: RE: BS: New Kitten!! From: Sonnet Blackcatter - Snickers is beautiful. I'm about to get two kittens in a fortnight. One is a chintz, the other a bundle of soot! Can't wait! We'd decided to call them Maya and Seamus (poetic connection) but Jan, the work colleague, I'm having them from, half remembered and has been calling them Mia and Shadow (nearly a song!), so that's stuck! Sorcha - it'll be a comfort for you to realise you'll be a few weeks ahead of us in the mahem stakes! Jay McS |

17 Jul 04 - 06:00 PM (#1227862) Subject: RE: BS: New Kitten!! From: Little Robyn Blackcatter - my Twiggy is a similar colour to Snickers, but without any white. She's smokey grey and pale ginger with faint grey lines all over. A muted tortie, perhaps. She was very skinny when we rescued her, hence the name, but she's filled out nicely and is wearing her winter coat at present. Robyn |

17 Jul 04 - 07:15 PM (#1227880) Subject: RE: BS: New Kitten!! From: CapriUni Blackcatter -- what great pics! Maybe your friend just thought that "Snickers" would be a good name for a kitty? I remember once that I tried to write a piece of collaborative fiction with someone by email, and I gave one of the characters a pet cat named Pheno Menon -- "Pheno" for short (neither the fiction nor the friendship really worked, unfortunately). Thinking of it as a two-part name is still the best way I have to remember the spelling of "phenomenon." :-) |
