Just picked up a pregnant mama cat to foster, and she just walked right out of the carrier and started exploring! She seems calm and confident

Shout out to Bestie for the cave idea in the closet, mama loves it! We’re thinking she’s at least 5-6 years old based on her teeth, and she came in with the name Waffles but I’m gonna change that. She’s so pretty!!

oh but Waffles is a great name! we had mrs biscuits earlier and now we have waffles!

We could always try a pie theme for names? When I saw her, I thought Tourtiere. The babies could be Lemon Meringue, Cherry, Boston Creme...?

May I suggest the name of Cinnamon or Spice?

She looks well spiced!

New batch!! Any idea on the due date?

No idea! She’s not very big yet and I’ll feel her belly when I get home to see if I can get a guesstimate

She kinda looks like Fred and George's mama, who we named Sammy.

Have we done a pasta theme yet? She looks like a Penne

Two Pi Day (aka, Tau Day, 6.28), is Saturday, so even though the due date may be a while off, perhaps the theme could be mathy constants: Pi(wacket?), Tau, Phi (Fifi?), Square-root-of-2 (Rooty-twoty? Squirt?), etc. Mama could be Constance. :) Just *slightly* more sophisticated than "Number 1", "Number 2", >frank<, etc ...

What interesting colouring! All of the torties I've seen/met have had like a base colour of black, but does she count as a tortie?

We locally have a cat that's a grey version of this kind of pattern, never seen another like it (so far).

Edit: from the newer post seeing her colouring up closer, I can see the black undercolour, how interesting that the ginger seems to be dominant from further away!

What is wrong with the name waffles?

I like Waffles and you can have breakfast themed kitten names

I did one of those last year and several of them died 😔 Breakfast names are off the table for me for now

New Mama Cat! IS this going to be the Summer Collection? (Summer feels like a good name for Mama)

9 months ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

That’s kinda what I was thinking! Gotta come up with summer names that are different from spring

9 months ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Sunny, Ray(ban), Sandy, Breeze, Popsicle, June, July, August, Bug, Skeeter. Lots of em, it'd be cute.

How about Butterscotch?

Maybe cookies? She looks like she could either be Muddy Buddy or Scotcharoo

Waffles? I think this means the theme has to be breakfast foods.

9 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Can’t do it. Did a breakfast food theme last year and a lot of them died. Ruined the whole theme for me. Maybe in a few years because the names are ADORABLE but not now

Do you know her backstory? Was she a stray?

9 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Someone found her out in the county and brought her in as a stray, that’s all I know

How about we just let Mama be Mama and when @KittensForDays and Bestie decide on the names, we all agree to go with it!

Hey, thank you!! 😊

You don't need any pressure, and Bestie, Gosh bless her. Cannot handle pressure, or remember names. No Themes! They get the Names that seem fit. Only Bestie and KittensForDays get to name these Ones. Back Off!

Haha I am always up for suggestions but yeah, I am the chooser. Bestie gives her input but I go with what feels right for me 😁

Sorry to hear that. That is very sad, however you could reclaim and have a great success or do a brunch theme. It's slightly different. Anyway, all the best for this next adventure.

What about keeping Waffles but naming the kittens Ice Cream flavors for summer? With mama being the Waffle cone? 🤔

Do you have a type? Torties are right up there with Voids as the Least Adopted. But our Girl @KittensForDays seems to take on the Unloved and just wait patiently until they finally submit.

My favorites are oranges and voids. Thomas was orange and he was THE BEST CAT, but most of my favorite fosters have been black.

Torties and Calicoes are the best of both worlds. Torties are like a Tuxedo Calico, all the attitude plus the contempt! Calicoes are like a Ginger with Malice.

Agreed, summer fun theme; hence mamma should be "Peanut Butter and Chocolate Ice Cream in a Waffle Cone" or Waffle for short....

Ice cream theme could be fun. Waffle Cone and her little scoops.
