The Oriental Express - the journey of my NEW KITTY!!!

[wolflady]

Hunter is ok, but like I mentioned earlier, it reminds me of my friend's child...so I always think of a kid instead of a cat. Plus, I like a little more obscure names.

However, I still haven't decided on a name, so maybe he will end up just keeping Hunter.

The Oriental express finally arrived and here he is!

Without further ado...

What an awesomely GORGEOUS boy!!! Congratulations!!!!

[kittycats_delight]

He is gorgeous Karen. How is he adjusting? He looks pretty calm in that pic. Did you bring Marius too? How are they getting along? Have they met yet? Sorry 20 questions here.

Handsome kitty!

Karen, he sure is very handsome and I'm glad that he's settling in well. In a couple of the pictures he looks like he has a little bit if orange in him like he's a flame point.

How could you not love that handsome face!!!! He is awesome!!!! Is that part of that breed..... his hair looks really short. Are orientals a none sheding breed??
Awesome..... I am lost for words....Just Awesome

[Catty1]

LOL! I love the face in the last two pics! My mom often calls her Orientals "camel face"!

What a truly beautiful boy! Is he as laid back and relaxed as he looks?

[prechrswife]

What a handsome boy! It looks like he is making himself right at home.

[shais_mom]

I hope this means you will post more often!

HUNTER IS SUCH A BIG HANDSOME CAT!
I THINK THAT POUNCIERGE MY ORIENTAL SHORT HAIR AT THE TOP OF THE HEAP MAY WELL SET HER CAP FOR HUNTER AT THE VALENTINES DAY PET PARTY!!!
SHE LIKES THE STRONG SILENT TYPE.

Look at those big bat ears! *snicker*

Nah, I was in a production of Bat Boy about 18 months ago, and this guy is MUCH better looking.

Let's see.... How about Gatto Blanco (white cat) or Belloblanco (beautiful white)? Or... Eric (after the character in Bat Boy)?

He is absolutely stunning! I am so glad to hear that he is already enjoying himself. What a lucky kitty to have found you.

Karen I am just seeing this now and didn't realize all of the changes that you have been going through lately. ((((hugs)))) I do know the healing power of animals and it looks like Hunter(?) is already helping. You know that I have always been Marius' biggest fan and I hope that your new little guy and Marius might be able to be best buds at some point. It sounds like their personalities might just lend themselves to that happening. Make sure, when you do the introductions, to have a few dozen shoes around for Marius to put him at ease.

I can't think of any names for your new handsome boy but I like just about all of the ones you are considering. I know what you mean when you talk about the association between a person with a certain name and then using that for a cat name or the other way around. When my daughter became pregnant she said she would have liked to consider the name Andy for her baby but since I already have a *feline Andy* she would always be thinking of my Andy whenever she spoke to him. I will follow this thread carefully and am so happy that you will be posting more. I have missed you!

Karen, I'm so glad to hear that Hunter is making you feel less depressed and more at ease. Animals are wonderful and I can't ever imagine not having at least one in my home from now on. I hope you'll be able to get your own place soon and I also hope that you'll be able to get Marius back. I know they would both get along wonderfully. How do you pronounce Phineas?
