Okay, to answer some of the questions you guys asked yesterday – our new Mom cat was one of many cats who were being fed by an elderly woman. Her neighbor was helping to have the cats spayed and neutered, and before our Mom could be spayed, she gave birth (those are some very lucky kittens!) She’s estimated to be between two and three years old, and yes – she reminds me of Khaleesi, too! I need to get a side by side comparison of the two. I think there’s a general resemblance, color-wise, but our new Mom has a more triangular face.
Also, Mom is doing a great job of keeping the babies fed, but I’m keeping a close eye on their weight and if need be, I’ll step in to help supplement the feeding. So far, they don’t seem to need it.
I think I said I was going to wait ’til after the weekend to name them, but who am I kidding? We have a theme, we have the names, and now they’ve been assigned! Let’s see if you can guess the naming theme (which Fred suggested).
Livia.
Adriana.
Carmela.
Dr. Melfi. (Who is a girl, by the way, and YES. I did just name a kitten “Dr. Melfi.” Just don’t ask to see her medical license.)
Meadow.
Tony.
Silvio.
Paulie Walnuts.
Collectively, they’ll be known as The Sopranos.
If there’d been more boys, we absolutely were going to go with the Breaking Bad naming theme. I suggested (and Fred shot down) naming them after varieties of apples. He suggested (and I shot down) naming them after characters from Boardwalk Empire. Y’all had a lot of good name ideas, but I have to tell you that I am NOT naming kittens after The Seven Dwarves, because as any foster mom would tell you, naming a kitten Sneezy is just asking for trouble!
I have saved many of your suggestions to my “Potential Kitten Names” list, so you very well may see them in the future. Thanks for the great suggestions!
Hey, check out the top of Adriana’s head.
Sometimes it looks like a heart, and sometimes it just looks like a splotch. It depends on whether Livia’s been licking her on top of the head or not.
Check out the spotted belly on Carmela!
Time to eat!
“What doon, lady?”

Norbie certainly does like those reusable grocery bags! (Pay no attention to all that dust in the air.)
Silly boy.
Crazy eyes!
Norbie toes.
