Tripod!!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Ohhhhh, I cannot wait to see your new cat!! I agree with Catnapper, try to find another name that suits this kitten.
We have a 3 legged cat too! We called her "Snoopy", which almost sounds like the Dutch word for "sweety": SNOEPJE. She was born with an underdevelloped right frontleg. No problem at all for her, she runs faster than my 3 other cats

Elizabethann, did you get the kitty? I'm looking for an update.

[Medusa]

Jazzcat, you read my mind. I was wondering, too. And Elizabethann, whatever you name her will be A-OK. I still think Tripod is a cute name. It's not demeaning at all. It aptly describes her condition: Tri means 3 and pod means foot and she has 3 feet/legs. But she's your cat and you can name her whatever you like. I just hope you get her. She deserves a good life.

Laura's Babies use to post a link to Patrick's Journey. He is a young man who was terribly burned in a house fire, and it took many many months for him to recover.

He wound up getting a Bengal kitten who was missing a leg, or part of one. Pat didn't mind, because he had had physical challenges too.

He named the cat Meter. Meter is "about three feet".

Catnapper..you think of opera because Madame B-utterfly is a beautiful opera. Madame Flutterfly is a great way of thinking of your little fluttery ballerina.
I can't wait to hear news of this new special baby coming to PT with welcoming smoochies.

I *love* Flutter's name and always have! She's our little Flutterby, which is what we always called butterflies in my family.

Candace, I was thinking about Patrick's Meter too while I was reading this story. I miss the daily log by Pat's father.
And Meter doesn't sound degrading for a kitty. But as others said whatever you name the new kitty will be perfect. (I haven't voted on your poll yet either )
