Naming the cat
Saturday, September 16th, 2006
We got a cat from the Tails humane society in DeKalb. She looks like this:
The only problem is, we’re not sure what to name her. Any suggestions?
The folks at Tails named her Laverne, which is cool… if you’re someone’s great-grandma. But it’s decidedly uncool for a cat.
I want to call her Froofaraw. Sharon is not yet convinced. It was inspired by the word “foofaraw”, which m-w.com defines as: 1) “frills and flashy finery”, or 2) “a disturbance or to-do over a trifle”. She fits both of these definitions, plus I like the nickname possibilities (Froof, Froofy, Froofles, Foo, and Froofadoof are a few that have come up so far).
So if you have any ideas on what to name Froofaraw, I’m sure Sharon would like to hear them. ;)
