Pure Heaven… so far

So this weekend, in addition to the 3G iPhone cradled on my work station right now, I have a very new addition to the family.

Please welcome my new kittie!

She’s 2 1/2 months old, a brown tabby and just about the most adorable thing ever. Last Thursday, I went to the EastBay SPCA to look at kitties, and over the weekend, I picked her up (because I needed time to buy all her supplies and set everything up. Her bowls are ceramic cuteness).

I have her all set up in the bathroom for the week to slowly get her accustomed to her new home, but this morning, she was already pining to go out and explore the rest of the house. When we, boy and I, first brought her home, she always ran to the back of the toilet whenever someone opened the door. But I visited her a lot through the afternoon and night yesterday, so now she’s comes to me when I call (well the few times I tried) and nuzzles my hand. Also, she purrs incessantly, which made it that much harder to leave the house this morning. (I’m hoping that feeding her will force me to get up earlier in the morning, so I’m not always running ridiculously late.)

This is SO exciting. I’m a first time pet-owner and definitely first time mommy, so I’ll post more anecdotes and lesson learned as we move forward. Of course there will be LOTS and LOTS of pictures.

One dilemma: I have no idea what to call her. Names are so hard because I want something that goes with her character but is also ‘profound’ or at least a double entendre (not the sexual kind).

Eleanor- like the first lady, but it sounds really old.

October- I LOVE this name and want to give it as a middle name for my future/potential daughter. However, a lot of people think that would be traumatizing to the child. So technically, I could give that name to the kitten. But she’s way to cute and happy to be a dark, brooding October.

… I’m stuck. What are your suggestions? I can’t keep calling her ‘baby,’ ‘cutey,’ or ‘it’ forever. So please comment below or email me with your thoughts. Gimme lots!

This is when we just took her home. I hadn’t eaten all day, and I’m guessing Ty hadn’t either, so we stopped by Denny’s to pick up some food.

*crouch* She’s so sleepy…
