A request

I tried to post this last night, but MuNu was having a moment...

Friend, frequent commenter, and occasional guest poster ZTZCheese and her hubby got a new kitty!

He's cute and smart and friendly, and he needs a name. However, kitty didn't seem too taken with any of the names we've tried so far, so she asked me to ask YOU to help us come up with suggestions.

He seems like a "people name" cat, rather than a "cat name" cat, but a clever cat name might suit.

He's a little put off by the small silver flashy-thing in his face in this shot:

HPIM0908

Yes, he is one-eyed, he's not winking. But he sure could be.

And there are more pics of him here, in his new Flickr album.

So chime in, folks. What should they call him?

He IS adorable. I love kitties. ;)

Jack?

If it were a girl, Meredith or Lexi would be awesome (Gray, Grey's Anatomy...) But since he's a boy and probably doesn't want a girl's name, how about:

Nimbus. Gray like a nimbus cloud, and extra nifty since it's the name of Harry's broomstick.

Or...Clarence. From It's a Wonderful Life, since it's Christmas time!

Or...Suess. In honor of the Grinch, of course. My holiday hero. =)

mad-eye mooney would be appropriate

Yea, I was going the pirate route. Matey.

Well obviously the cat's name should be Steve.

I looked for the names of various Cyclopes from mythology -- Arges, Brontes, Steropes, Polyphemus? :)

I think he looks like a Sterling. :)

Wink? I know I am not very original but I thought it was cute.

Blinken? As in Blinken, linken and nod?

Or Dusty or Fearless Fosdick or Rumpleteaser?
