Clucking like a proud mother hen
First of all YAAAAAAAAAYY.
I need to brag!
I rescued a kitten 4 days ago, and she was pretty much in the same state that Skeletor was in when I found him (another kitten i attempted to rescue less than 2 weeks ago.. he passed away). She was dehydrated, had infected eyes and did not take well to being plucked from the street. I saw her on the way to college, basking in a beam of sunlight streaming through the trees and playing with scrap paper on the pavement of a big road, oblivious to everything around her. When I was on the way back, I peeked out when I was passing by the same place just for the heck of it, and noticed she was STILL there.. same spot. It was a sign! Luckily she was just two roads away from my house. I surveyed the situation. Alone for two hours.. playing next to open gutters (sigh, bombay) and stray dogs meandering about. I asked around in the nearby shops and nobody had seen a mother cat around so I whisked her away.
Long story short, the next day and a half was horrible, because she had the same symptoms and behaviour patterns that skeletor had before he died and I was quite sure she would not make it.
BUT NOW!
She sleeps peacefully through the night.
She has NEVER once poo-ed outside the litterbox.
She doesn't jump on the furniture or bite anyone in the family
She eats and drinks voraciously
Yesterday, the vet said she wasn't dehydrated anymore and her infection had completely cleared up. When she came home, she celebrated by hunting and playing for the first time!
I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF HER!
I'm soooo glad she has started playing, because I have never seen anything more adorable.
She chews on the end of a brush and the other end pokes her in the belly and she gets FREAAAAAKED OUT!
For the last hour, she's been playing *inside her litterbox*, flapping and rolling and paddling like a fish! and now she's asleep in the litter!!! (Thank god it's fresh)
What a confused kitten.
Anyway, If i go on, i'll never stop, so on with pics :D
Here's the only good shot of her face... I'm trying not to use flash as much as possible so that she doesn't get spooked by the cam in the future

This is a pic of her before her eye infection cleared up.. so her fur around her eyes look wet because of the drops

Second thing....... I NEED A NAME FOR HER!!!
When i thought she was a boy i was going to name her Sarge
When i thought she was going to pass away (like most of my pets) i was going to name her grim reaper. Then to lighten it a bit, I changed it to Grim Fandango
Then saucy.. and scrapped that....
Then Leonius (because she looks like a lion cub)
and then constantina to signify that she will stay with me forever and it's a pretty name :D
but i'm not satisfied with ANY of them! please help me.. i like unique and sometimes dark names.. i've never had so much trouble naming a pet before :mad:
