Whew!

Sorry you couldn't sleep over it. I too stay up all night worrying about stuff like that. I can tell you're excited though, as you should be! A special needs kitty is more than special needs.... they are truly special because their determination and resourcefullness (is that a word?) is inspiring.

I actually still hate Flutter's name. Its that because when she was a kitten her half leg stuck out and Fluttered. I hated it then and hate it now. But she was a foster and I couldn't change the name per the rescue's rules (until I adopted her of course) by the time I adopted her, I had spent 6 months calling her that so I couldn't break the habit. I really felt it was demeaning to her to pick on her handicap. I wanted something beautiful for her. So now I try to tell myself she's Flutter because she makes my heart flutter. Or I call her Madame Flutterby, which for some reason makes me think of a wonderful graceful stage performer (ok, now I sound REALLY nuts ) Anyone have an idea why I think of opera or ballet with that name? Half the time I call her Squeak-Squeak because thats how she talks to me.... which in reality is a much dumber name!
