Introducing: Licorice!
A friend of mine, noticing my pathetic lack of imagination in the area
of *naming pets*, took it on as her personal mission to name my black kitty. The other day, after numerous suggestions had been dismissed as too this or not enough that, she finally hit on one: "Licorice". Isn't that cute? Even though he's really a black and white tux cat, he still does look like a stick of licorice, especially now that he's a long and lanky adolescent. I'm already calling him "Licky Boy" as a nickname. That's not just a nickname for Licorice - it also refers to the fact that when he's very cuddly, he likes to lick the tip of my nose. And he's sound asleep in my arms this very minute. Joyce (and Licky Boy) |

My brother had a black and white cat named Liquorice When he went with me to the shelter to adopt a companion for her, he fell for a half-Siamese black male kitten .... who the fosterer had named Liquorice! Rather than have two cats with the same name, he named the black kitten Allsorts. |

I am very fond of liquorice. Hugo Katt, the all-black one, sends his purrs to the other black kitties. Elisabet |

Welcome to the family Licorice. We hope to see lots of pictures of you online soon (hint hint) Here are a few that I posted under his old name "Socks" (the rescue org had named him that). He is the black and white kitten, and he's featured with his brother "Jake", who was adopted about a month ago by an adoring woman who came to the mobile adoption. These pictures are between 2-4 months old already, so he looks really little in some of them. Many of you will already have seen these, but for those who haven't, have a look: http://home.sonic.net/~jwermont/kittens/kittens.html Joyce |
