In case you didn’t get a chance to check in over the weekend, there was a Kitterday post, and a Kittunday post, both with lots of pictures and a video on each day, AND news about adoptions. So check them out if you haven’t already!

The Royals are now named! Susan K., who won the naming pool, offered up two name suggestions. It just so happened that I liked them both, so decided to use them both. They’re both names of fictional royalty, and so I chose fictional royalty names for the other three, to go along with that theme-within-a-theme.
Here is your royal family!
The kitten I’ve been calling “girl tabby” is now Leia (Princess Leia, from Star Wars. I didn’t really need to tell you that, did I?)
The kitten I’ve been calling “all-black boy” is now Jareth. (Jareth is the name of the Goblin King from Labyrinth. Susan K. named him.)
The kitten I’ve been calling “boy tabby” will now be known as Aslan (The Chronicles of Narnia)
The kitten I’ve been calling “girl tuxie” is now Buttercup (Princess Buttercup, The Princess Bride. This is the other kitten Susan K. named!)
And lastly, but never ever leastly, the kitten I’ve been calling “boy tuxie” is now Charming (from Once Upon a Time).
I very briefly gave Fred permission to name the three kittens who were left unnamed after I decided to use Buttercup and Jareth, but when he suggested three names, and all of them had already been used AND ONE OF THEM WAS CASPIAN (um, HELLO?), I revoked permission and named ’em myself.
So now they’re named, and I just have to remember who’s who (of course I have a cheat sheet!), but I have this feeling that they’re all going to get nicknames pretty much immediately!
Ack, the FACE. The little pink MOUTH. The TOES.
I’m sorry, do you SEE the HUG in the middle of that picture? Dead, DEAD, I TELL YOU, from the cute.
Charming.
Buttercup.

Newt hangs out in this spot in the kitchen because there’s an air vent under that cabinet, and when the heat is going, it’s very very warm right there. He’s no dummy!
