Naming the cat

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

We got a cat from the Tails humane society in DeKalb. She looks like this:

Froof is relaxing

Froof is hunting.

Froof is sleeping.

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. ;)
