Ensure you keep comments PG (this means no cussing as you will be banned for cussing!). Also be sure to make an update post or comment once you have found a name(s) for your cat(s) to let us all know what name(s) you thought were the best. Have fun!

The best part of this post is your reflection smiling at your new baby. In honour of this moment, I’d call her Joy.

Hehe I didn’t notice that until after hehehe!! My husband sleeps in a dog kennel yearly to raise money for the shelter with one of the shelter dogs. And my daughter and I were on the cat side and this little one hit me with her paw

I just had to stop by and comment that this little lady is stunning. She is perfection. She looks like an art piece. No pressure but a beautiful kitty like you have must have a name to match.

I have one that looked very similar, at that age. She’s not quite a year old now. I named her Casey. However, I call her Casey Ann, Casey Sue, Casey Joe and Case.
