We went to a rescue shelter yesterday "just for a look, we're not getting anything". Then we saw this lovely cat and had to go back for her ?
She looks nice and relaxed but she's actually petrified. She'd been sat in the box for about 3 hours when this was taken, still hadn't come out. She's about 18months old and was found in a shed with her 4 kittens. The shed's owner fed them but didn't try to get close to them. 9 months later, he's off abroad so brought them to the shelter. She is incredibly nervous, bless her. The shelter were very grateful for us taking her as people aren't keen on timid cats apparently (I can see why if you had children)
We've got to restrict her to 1 room for a good while and keep going in and talking to her. This morning I thought we'd lost her-I looked everywhere then she frightened me to death by appearing in a drawer-god knows how she got in there!
Anyway, she needs a name. She's very petite. I like Rowen, but H thinks that sounds like Rowan, a boy's name. He likes Loxy, but I think that sounds like someone from a late nigh chat and date line-lol! Shona is another possible.
It's got to be short and I like the idea of something irish/gaelic/celtic, but throw in your suggestions ?
Thanks for all the suggestions ? In the end, I stuck with the tree theme and chose Willow. Nice and delicate which will suit her I think. And she's eaten today which has made me feel a lot better-mackeral, gets them every time!
