They generally name themselves.

She had some name at the shelter. We gave her time to acclimate and we noticed she really looked around the house. When we found her part way up the fireplace chimney we decided to call her Scout since she had to scout out e very nook and cranny.

Nasty woman. No way we were keeping that name.

The kitty was renamed Chessie before we even left the shelter.

I like Daphne and Lucia. I already had a cat named Lucy though, so maybe not Lucia.

the tabby

I like the idea. I'm waiting to see what name arises from her, but Abby is good.

she was dearly loved.

Do let us know how the meet-'n-greet goes.

I brought her home last night. She’s been cuddling with me ever since. Such a sweetheart!

Cuddling with a sweet kitty is very nourishing to the spirit.

She was named after the baby vampire in the "Interview with the Vampire" books. We loved those books and loved our Claudia. She lived to be seventeen.

We named her after the baby vampire because our kitty loved to nip people if she was not getting enough attention. She was a spoiled thing.

were some name of our girl cat's names. We also had a Daphne, a goddess. Our tabby was Zena, a sweet stray I rescued in 2008 along with her sister, She Ra. Hope it all goes well and you come with a new cat. Tabby cats, I think have the most sweetest and curious personalities.

Was your tabby a good mouser?

But when we had a ratpocalypse situation, in our 100 year old house, she essentially was acting like a pointer dog, until we got the problem solved. Our first tabby cat way back 1972, a indoor/outdoor cat, was a great hunter.

I have a mouse problem in my house, so I need a good mouser. This cat is described as affectionate and very playful, loving to chase after her toys. Evidently playfulness and batting around toys is meant to be a sign of a potential mouser.

She will also have a few other names- Sweetie, Princess, pretty-pretty, bad girl (a possibility 😆
We had a cat named Sasha but she got Sishy-Sashi, squishy-sqaushy, sashinator, Sasha-squash, and all of the regal names of Princess and Queen Sash.

Aura is nice too.

... Cleopatterer? Or Artemis, goddess of the hunt.

I have a mouse problem.

You're welcome!

No matter what you call her

She looks so golden and playful. I like the sound of Zoroaster and the idea of such a playful creature responding to that name makes me smile. According to google ai, the original form of the name, translated variously as "owner of yellow camels," "possessor of old camels," or "he who loves the light/gold".

To see how it fits when I’m calling them or talking to them. For some reason, when I do that, I find the name. Some names are awkward to call out. Weirdly, I find 1-2 syllable names the best.

I have her home now. She kind of seems like an Angelica since she's such an angel. I'll wait though.

but not sure why.

We do, of course, expect regularly updated photos!

Maybe Liza. We’ll see. And yes to photos. She’s already climbing all over my lap demanding to be pet. Such a sweetheart.

So I'm thinking something like Pavlova, Misty or Ms Tallchief.

But those may not suit her personality. Often if you wait a few days, her name comes to you. Possibly by telepathy; I'm not entirely convinced that cats don't have that capability.

She's beautiful! Maybe some other flower names - Pansy, Petunia, Dahlia, Daisy?

Congrats on your new kitty friend! I'm adopting a couple of big gray brother cats next week, so I get your excitement. I can hardly wait...

Liza also came to mind, but I'm not sure. I do like Lily.

Maybe keeping it simular like Joy is better to make sure she doesn't get confused.

She didn’t have the name very long and spent a lot of time crated.

Go to town and give her a name that fits her. She's a very pretty Tabby. Maybe Tabatha. Looking at her though I keep seeing a Butterfly.

She’s Lily, at least provisionally.
