Further Miss Whiskers update...

I think she's going to be OK. ;o)

The vet says that she's skinny and underweight, but I think that will be
resolved pretty quickly with some TLC and lots of high quality kitten
food.

We're playing with names now.

I always give my girl cats names they can be proud of. I already have
Pandora and Cleopatra (Cleo for short). The ones I'm thinking about for
Miss Whiskers are Egyptian and a

Eshe - which means "Life"
Jendayi - which means "Thankful"
Omorose - which means "Beautiful"
Sagira - which means "Little one"

and "Lotus" as in Lotus flower, which I just really like. I'm leaning
towards "Lotus" at the moment as it seems to fit.

We'll see which one fits in the next few days. "His Royal Feline
Lordship Tiger" had about 20 different names until he told me what he
was called. ;o)

My cats generally end up with operatic names. If I had a
one-eyed female cat, she'd probably be "(Princess) Eboli"
from the opera "Don Carlo". Her real-life counterpart was
the mistress of Philippe II of Spain, reputed to be a great
beauty, and she was known to wear a patch over one eye
(presumably due to injury).

Awwww! She's a sweetheart! So many Miss Whiskers posts today. She's
so loved, so wonderful. I wonder how she got the way she was? I
don't think it's possible that a person could so something like that
on purpose.

Congratulations to Miss Whiskers for wending her way into your life in such
a short time. I'm so glad that the operation went well and am looking
forward to pictures and a new name!

Unfortunately, that's what both the vet and the RSPCA think. Last week
Cats Protection had a kitten from the same geographical area which had
to be sent to Rainbow Bridge because it had been blinded in both eyes
and it was beyond help. (

Miss Whiskers and one of the Cardiff Devils ice-hockey players will be
doing a photo shoot early next week for the local paper to raise
awareness.

I vote for Eshe, because she CHOSE Life after all she's been through,
and fought for it, and WON.

I'm glad she is doing so well...Personally, I love the name Lotus.

Rotten people. Great way to raise awareness. I hope they GET the b*stard.

I'm glad to hear she's doing well.

I quite liked the name Miss Whiskers but if you like Egyptian names
what about Hathor the godess of joy, love and beauty.
