It's a girl (again)!!!

Most everyone knows about my little girl, Aspasia. She's the hairy, four paw, meowing type of child, though she actually doesn't meow. Well, silly ol me told Pets and People (where I got Aspasia) that I would consider fostering other Feline Leukemia cats since mine has it and I know homes for these cats are rare. I got a phone call a couple of weeks ago from a woman who had rescued a kitten who has Fel. Leuk and needed a place to go. My original intent was to just foster her for a while and work on a permanent home but I may just end up keeping her. She's a baby, only 10 weeks old, but appears to be quite healthy and happy. She's a typical kitten--bounce bounce pounce. She loves to boing ONTO Aspasia and batt at her. Aspasia doesn't seem to think it's so grand.....but, they take turns chasing each other through the house and eventually they fall asleep from exhaustion.
So, I have picked out a couple of names but I think I'm going with Malva. It's Greek and means "softly, tenderly." The name isn't set in stone but that's the way I'm leaning.

My friend Aaron laughed when I told him the name because it reminded him of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry couldn't remember his girlfriend's name. She said something about how her named rhymed with a body part so he guessed the name Mulva. My cat's name will NOT be Mulva. lol.

More reports from Cat-Land soon.......................
