    I just visited two litters of kittens (at my vet's office) and chose two new furry friends! One orange-and-white male, one black-and-white female.

    I will accept all suggestions for names. The boy seems pretty heavy-boned, the girl much more dainty. Both completely feline.

    They have to stay with their mom for another week or so, but after that - cats again! My house will be happier for them.

    My dog? He'll tolerate them, especially if he gets to clean up their uneaten food.

    Probably this is a good time for images? If not for kittens, then for what?

    I don't know who's holding my cats, but... my cats!

    Czernobog? Did you look at his little fluffy face?!?

    Do you see how he looks a little confused, and maybe a little hurt?

    That's directed at YOU, @Iain Aschendale !

    He's saying "Why? Why does the man with the scary avatar want to name me Czernobog? Why?"

    "It's the duality of man, sir. The Jungian thing."

    Give me a pet komodo dragon, and I'm gonna name her "Miss Snugglemuffin".

    That's her and her friend Cuddles McLovely.

    Thus, you clearly have a Czernobog...

    There is cuteness overload on this page, especially from Miss Snugglemuffin.

    The greatest duo of our times - Sonny and Cher?
    Buffy and Spike/Angel, depending on who you ship? Any rodent victims can be named Riley.
    Get Down from There and Don't Eat Your Sister's Vomit?
    Sir Marmaduke McFluffy and Lady Paws McWhiskers?
    Charlie and Lola?
    Ben and Liam?
    Tenderiser and Tenderuser?

    I should be some kind of professional cat naming person.

    And just to ruin all the feel-good fluffiness, it's a year today since I lost Sir Tedward McGinger to cancer.
