This is my prospective cat. We found him @ the pound today when we went to see how much Roadkill's liscense was going to cost. I am kind of forgetful and thought that your dog had to be a year old to get a liscense (nope) so was waiting till August. Apparently not. So after last night's scare when we came home and he was MISSING after he broke his collar and jumped the fence, I realized I need to get him a license ASAP. Well. It's the same story as with the guinea pig. We went for one thing, and came out with an extra. The line was so freaking!!! long that I decided to take Megan into the kennels while Barry stood in line, and this little guy was all friendly and break your heart adorable. *sigh* We almost managed to get out without him since Barry didn't see him, but as we're walking out the door Barry says, "Didn't you want to show me the cat?" And the rest, as they say is history. :) Hopefully he will be joining our family on Wednesday if his owner's don't come and claim him.

We haven't decided on a name yet. As you know names are quite quite important. But we take it a step further. We don't like cutesy-pie names or "normal" names. But we also haven't had a cat in donkey's years. Our last cat was Barry's back in England and her name was Duchess. My sister has two cats, Fluffy and Moe. My 3 cats from childhood were named Dipstick (I got him in 97, he was such a sweetie, dumb as a rock and clumsy as a cow), George the Sadomasti-cat (who would ignore you if you were nice to him, but be all over you if you ignored him and loved being tossed across the room *gently*. He'd come racing back onto your lap and wait for you to toss him again. He was kiddnapped around Halloween of 98) and Phantom who I adopted from a co-worker who couldn't keep him, he was a lavender siamese and just the lovingest kitty cat ever. I named him Phantom not because he looked like a spook, but because I was reading The Phantom of the Opera at the time. And so, here are some of the names we've put forth for the new kitty:

1. Inky
2. Melancholy
3. Gloomy
4. Crow Bait
5. Drive By
6. Roadkill 2: the sequel (our lab is named Roadkill after Barry's movie because we adopted him from the people of one of our locations during the shooting of the movie)
7. Lt. Kettch after a fictional genetically modified Ewok from the Rogue Squadron books

I am leaning towards Gloomy or Driveby. If he's a laid back kitty, Gloomy will work well. If he's a hyper spacey kitty, Drive By would be good to. For some bizarre reason we only just noticed today that we have all black/grey animals. It's passing strange. Except for Hiccup who is champagne colors, even Snickers was grey/black. We (barry and i) tend to wear alot of black too. wierd.

Oh. 1 final thing. I opted to switch dying my hair purple for getting a piercing instead. :) Pics to come soon.
