Ok I didn't think I would want to name the kittens, mostly out of fear of getting too attached to them. But now that they are starting to have very distinct personalities, I can't help but name them. With help from the kids of course LOL So here we go:
Gray kitty - "Chipper" - Girl
The gray kitty was the third to be born, I believe, and it took her a few minutes to come around. But once she was doing good boy there was no stopping her! She is DEFINITELY the biggest and most adventurous. So where did "Chipper" come from? Well, I always talked about her big round chipmunk face. And since I had a dog that I loved when I was younger named Chipper, I just had to name her that! But she is already the one leading the pack when it comes to walking on all fours. She's still a little uncoordinated, but she's really doing good. Very strong! She's best friends with the black kitty, but she looks out for all of them. She even goes up to them and appears to nibble at their ears! She's definitely playful and LOVES being picked up and talked to.
White kitty - "Ginger" - Girl
The white kitty was the first to be born. She was the only one I didn't get to see being born (by the time she was born my son noticed and came and got me). Ginger is one of the smallest, but she's really developing nicely! I thought she was going to be all white, but her ears, tail, and paws are turning black. But she's got an all-white body. She tends to want to cuddle with her brothers & sisters, but she loves it when I hold her and just sit and talk to her. She loves to be petted too! Even my husband agrees, she looks like a "Ginger". Don't ask me where I came up with the name, it just came to me LOL
Black kitty "Midnight" Girl
The black kitty was the second to be born, I believe. At first she looked all black, but now she has beautiful specks of (what I call gold) orange across her face and a little on her back. Colin loves this one. He's the one who came up with "Midnight". She is about the same size as Ginger, one of the smaller ones, and is very friendly. She loves trying to keep up with Chipper on the floor! Not quite fast enough though LOL
The Orange Boys
Ok, the two orange boys are all about drama. They are absolutely gorgeous being all orange with little white stripes throughout. And they have the most incredible big round eyes. They love to cuddle with each other and are about mid-sized. Smaller than Chipper but bigger than Ginger and Midnight. The thing about them is they HATE to be held!! As long as they are laying down somewhere they love to be petted. But DO NOT pick them up. Not only do they cry, they SCREAM!!! Nikita (the mom) comes back freaking out thinking someone is hurting her kitties. LOL NO! We just picked them up. So for now we are letting them stay in their bed while their sisters come out and walk on the carpet. They are ok with walking, but not as good as their sisters. We're still trying to come up with names for these two. We were thinking "Bobby" (as in Bobby Cox who is sure to strike up an argument with the umpire during a Braves game whether it gets him kicked out or not) and "Billy" (after the late Billy Mays, the pitchman on the Oxy Clean commercials who had a loud, yet catchy voice full of passion). I'm not sure if "Billy" & "Bobby" will stick. We've even thought of naming them "Swiper" and "Diego" so go figure LOL
