[elizabethann]

If you have a suggestion other than what I wrote, please let me know. Thank you!

[joycenalex]

details please, male or female? senior or kitten? short hair or long hair? and we need pictures too ;) . and i have a weakness for jojo

[elizabethann]

I will try to get some pictures up & running. She is a 3-legged cat. She is gray with some white feet and a white neck. I thought she was a kitten, but come to find out, she's 3 years old. She is short haired and she is very small...probably the runt of the litter.

I'm leaning towards JoJo myself. But I'd like to see what others think. Maybe once I get a photo up, we can all get a feel as to what her name is. :)

I love all 3 names so I picked other.Pearl is beautiful.
Here are some other name ideas:
Buttercup
Violet
Cinderella
Melody
Gizmo
Peaches
Posey
Phoenix
Lilly Anna

Do you know why she only has 3 legs? Was it a result of something that happened to her as a kitten? My guess is that she lost her leg as a kitten and it stunted her growth. Trauma often does that. I've experienced it with 2 of my pets.

One of my cats, Oliver, had a very badly injured leg when I found him as a kitten. Oliver looked to be about 6-8 weeks old, but as the vet examined him he said Oliver appeared to be at least 6 months old. The injured leg stunted his growth. The vet wasn't sure at that point if Oliver's leg could be saved or if it'd have to be amputated. After surgery and a lot of treatment and care his leg was able to be saved. The vet also said that Oliver's small size may be permeant, but there was a good chance that he may grow more. He did eventually grow into a normal sized cat.

My chinchilla, Lola, too had an incredibly badly injured leg when I got her as a baby. Her growth too was at a halt. She too almost lost her leg but the same vet that saved Oliver's leg saved hers. Lola did grow a bit more after her leg was healed, however she's about half the size of a normal sized chinchilla.

3 legged cat you say? I would call her Eileen. I think it's a pretty name and it has kind of a silly catch. I had a 1 legged finch rescue that I named Eileen...it fit her perfectly. It's a pretty name, too.

I haven't voted for a name yet. I really need pictures to decide.

In the mean time though i have a story.

Your description had me smiling.

I rescued an orange kitten from going to the pound and she only had three working legs. I wouldn't name her something like "stubby" but i didn't want to spend the time thinking of a permanent name for a cat i couldn't keep.

At the time there was a Dog of the Day (http://dogoftheday.com/archive/2001/September/14.html) i had fallen in love with. (I even set it as the desktop on my laptop :D ) His name is Tio

Well, that name was stuck in my head and it was an easy leap from there to Trio. Tri = 3. LOL :cool:

When you said three legged my mind instantly went to my orange Trio... then when you said the colors I was like OMG!!! TIO! So the description reminded me of a mix of those two.

Awwwe... What about Tribbly? (Kind of like Tribble / Tripple ) (She has 3 legs, is three yeas old, and is furry.)

And for the record JoJo is a cute name.

I put Josie

[Taz_Zoee]

I voted other on here for now. I'd like to see a picture of the little girl first. Also, hear about her personality before I can give my opinion of a name. (silly, I know)

[Karen]

Trillium! Lovely spring New England flower ...

[catnapper]

I voted JoJo before I even saw you preferred it :)

[Medusa]

I still like Tripod but, again, it's your call. My friend rescued a cat w/one eye and she named him One Eye Ota. (one iota, get it? :p )

[kuhio98]

Welllllllllllllllllllllllll, I still like Tripod. Don't see anything wrong with it at all. Kitty won't care what you call her just as long as you treat her like a queen! ;)

[Catty1]

Bumpkin! or Furkin! Like Gherkin, the small pickle :)

My computer is sooooooooooooooo slow. Not sure what's up with that. But her she is. I've been calling her JoJo but sometimes call her Josie. She seems to know her name. I'm going to post her picture at Cat General too.

The SPCA said she was born that way. Some guy brought her in along with a Persian. I guess the Persian got adopted right away because it was beautiful and everybody overlooked JoJo.

She is very small. The SPCA says she is 3 years old. Hard to believe. She has a wellness checkup this week. She doesn't like the cat crate.

She is such a love. She follows me ALL OVER and sleeps on my lap when I'm on the loveseat and the first night I had her and last night, she slept with me & Fenway.

She & Fenway get along. She butts his head. He just looks at me like "why...why....I thought I was the love of your life?" But he'll get over it.

Thank you for the name suggestions. I originally thought Josie because that's my Mom's name and I told her since nobody named their Grandkids after her, I would name my cat after her. But JoJo seems to know her name.

In this picture, she just finished eating supper. Her back left leg is missing. She waddles throughout my apartment. It breaks my heart but she seems used to it. She didn't like the vaccuum cleaner. And she ripped 2 of my favorite shirts. She likes to get around my neck but her claws are so painful.

She's a cutie pie and I love her. She's a keeper. :D

[Marigold2]

Josie, she looks like a Josie. Sweet, smart, beautiful.

[Genny]

marigold is right, she looks like a Josie and JoJo is cute too! She kinda favors my cat Samson.

She's so beautiful by the way!!!!

Thanks for the suggestions. They are much appreciated.

My kitty's name is JoJo Louise.

She's so special, I just had to give her a middle name. :)

JoJo is gorgeous! I'm so sorry that I missed your other thread, this is the first time I have heard about your new addition. Nice to hear that she gets on with Fenway. I hope the adorable boy is not too upset.
