name change
Well, it looks like I will be keeping the kitten i have been fostering. she's been with me for two and a half weeks now and i think it would be too disrupting for her to move again. she and Aspasia are getting along ok. it's not a great relationship yet, but maybe it will be. i'm thinking that once Kitten is declawed it will help. now, about her name......i had originally planned on calling her Malva, which is a name of Greek origin and means "softly, tenderly." perfect for a kitten, right?? well, then my friend Aaron points out that Malva sounds like Mulva, which sounds like Vulva, and i just can't get that out of my head. I am SOOOO not naming my cat after a female body part. no way. so, i believe her name will now be Thea, which is also a Greek-origin name and means "goddess." Yes, i like the Greek origin names. i'm going to have to change my voice mail message and add Thea to it. what's sad is that this house gets more phone calls for Aspasia than phone calls for me. sigh.

2 things: First thing, now your cats' names mean "welcome goddess" instead of "soft, tender welcome" (!). That's fine by me, but you so might want to run that past the big J. Second, I make this vow: I will not rest until I find a disgusting word that rhymes with the new name. Why? Because I like you.
I dare you to name your next child "Kant."
