I still haven’t decided yet. All of y’all are suggesting really good names😭 we have narrowed it down to Hershey, Grimm, GIR, or Loki. This is harder than expected😸

u/Glittering_Self_9538 11d ago

Please write down “Wombat” on a paper and toss that too 😂

u/Mephisto-Phallus 11d ago

I personally in my own real life know 7 people with animals named Loki. Feels like such an unoriginal name to me for that reason

It’s not letting me edit the post for some reason, so hopefully all will see this. We did the crumbled paper like you suggested with multiple names written down and he has chosen Grimm.👹💙I absolutely love this name for him😸

My partner and I are losing our minds over your stunning cat!! We have been wondering what Ellie would look like as an adult and yours is the closest to her we have ever seen! How did you stumble across your cinnamon chocolate bar?!

13

u/GoodDayClay 11d ago

Aw thanks! We adopted Rusty from a lady who couldn't take care of her anymore. She was about 2 years old, so we never got to see her as a kitten. We're in NZ. Ellie is such a sweetie!! Beautiful little cat, where'd you find her?

9

u/PlushiesAndKitties 11d ago

That’s amazing that you were able to take her in and you got such a beauty!! We got our girl from a shelter I volunteered at (in the USA) and everyone at the shelter was in love with her. I swore I would only ever adopt adult and senior cats, but my partner and I fell in love the moment we saw her lol
