Abandoned Kitten Needs A Name

You are such a good person for taking him but I have to question your friend
who at first rescued the kitten and then thought about him putting him back
when you said you didn't want the feline. People like that upset me because
that is usually why some dump a cat as if it were a beer can. It sounds like
this kitten is attached to you and the other cats so I'd keep him as he
sounds like a great kitty.

Hi all

Just got a new kitten last wednesday. A friend came over with him and said
his
friend found him abandoned along with 2 of his littermates which were
dead.
Initially I said I did not want the cat as I have four others so he said
they
were
going to put him back where they found him. At that point I said I'd keep
him.

He appeared to be about four weeks old and his eyes were swollen almost
shut
with goop caked around them. I had some terramycin that was 2 months
expired
but figured it was better than nothing for the eyes. He was also sneazing
alot.
On friday his eyes looked substantially better but just to make sure
things
were going in the right direction I took him to the vet. They
confirmed that he is only 4 weeks old and has worms, resp infection, eye
infection, fleas and ear mites. Here is his pictu

http://members.aol.com/alg460/kitten.jpg

As you can see he looks great now (much better than he did) and all the
treatments are working fine and he is now very happy, content and active.
At
first he did nothing but sleep and sit and stare when awake. He loves
people
and has slept right smack against me and my wife every single night so
far.
Hope one of us dont roll over and squish him. He
fits in the palm of my hand.

So far so good with the other cats (all females). At first they would hiss
at
just the sight of him. They seem to be getting over it and I actually saw
one
of them washing up the kitten. The only problem now is he is running all
over
the house and running under the other cats and getting in front of them,
standing on his hind legs and putting his paws in their face. They hiss a
little or give him a little tap on the head to knock him off balance. He
still
walks funny and wobbles when he walks but he sure can run.

What kind of jerk would throw away 3 kittens and leave them to die.

Only thing he needs now is a name.

It is funny how we humans come up with names yet that may not be what the
cat wants. I'd come up with a list of them and then ask the cat which they
want. I did this with my cat Isis and she very much chose the name. Jade on
the other hand was different as I tuned into what her name was and it seemed
to be correct. How about for this kitten adding the name Journey to the list
as she certainly took quite a trip in life. First was dumped, then his
siblings died leaving him alone, and then he found humans who eventually
took him in.

He's adorable! How about "Phoenix" for a name (as in the Greek mythology
for "rising from the ashes")? -- which could lead to "Feeny" as a
nickname.

Well Seabiscuit would also be a nice name. That horse had it tough until he
was paired with a jockey named Red Pollard and became one of the greatest
horses ever to race. I think the cat should have the right to choose his
name though.

Oo. I like. Tobey for Tobey McGuire would be good too. He plays a lot of
characters that end up being great people from their tough breaks early in
life.

Oh he's a cutie. He reminds me very much of my cat Rodney (RB) when he
was a kitten. When I saw the pic the first name that came immediately to
mind was Toby. I know it's close to your name but when has that ever
stopped anybody? Tony and Toby. Yeah. I like it. :-)

The movie was great too. If any of you get the chance, go see Seabiscuit.

Agreed. It's really a good movie and faithful (pretty much) to the book.
