She's so sweet! Little gray with white belly & paws, soft, medium-hair, and tiny little high-pitched "mew!" She's been coming around for awhile, and this morning, her pretty little soakedness decided to meet me at the bottom of the stairs. Inside the house. *melts*

She's so affection-starved - Pete was sitting on the porch, all not paying attention but paying attention, and he made a little "you can come up if you dare" motion, and suddenly she was in his lap. And then laying on his chest getting petted. *melts*

2 things:
- We already have too many cats.
- I'm not naming her! (The black that got killed I'd codenamed Mercutio. That was dumb. Stupid hindsight.) And even if I were thinking of naming her, Ophelia would be a really bad one, in spite of her soaked appearance this morning. Yes! All Shakespearian tragedies are out as name sources. Maybe Viola - she survived her watery ordeals just fine.

If she's still around after work, we're going to check for a microchip. But it kind of looks like someone decided to move away without her. *cries*

If I get my hands on that person - *stabbity*

Miranda. She was kind, and naive, and trusting, and rain soaked during the tempest that crashed the rest of them on the island she (and her father) had been abandoned to.

"How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't!"

There's irony in that, because in the play, she's looking at Gonzalo (I believe) at the time, who is actually rather ugly. But later she meets Ferdinand, who truly is a looker. This tiny friendly one obviously loved people, who abandoned her, but has lucked out in finding 'such people' as yourselves in't.

Miranda's a good name, too. That's The Tempest, right? I haven't seen that one. :-D

Yes, it is. Not one of his stronger comedies, but a blast to act in.

Too many? You have 2! Sweet little pretty kitty who'll jump up on you and MEW! in a squeaky itty-bitty voice... </temptress>

Hopefully, we'll find out that she has a home, but just couldn't find her way back to it. Hopefully.

I'm sending many pleading looks Mark's way but I don't think he's caving. >_O

She sounds so cute

Hopefully you can find her a home. Sadly, with our small apartment, two cats is a bit too much, considering how Harley hates interlopers in the house and Willow, who may not mind interlopers, defends her chosen 'perches' quite violently.

*sigh* I miss the kitten I had to give up ;_;

I used to work at a movie theatre, way back when, and we got one of those charity "drop a quarter in the glass tanks." It came with fish. Stupid in hindsight.
Well we named some of the fish.
They died.
We named some more.
They died.
We named most of the remaining ones.
They died.
There was one fish left. The one we never named. We decided naming them was cursing them, so we wouldn't name it. We would talk about it though. Is that Nameless Fish still alive? Yep. Someone feed the Nameless Fish today? Soon this became Nameless. It was soon after we realized that the absence of a name had become the name. The fish was being named Nameless. It then died.
Moral? Humans name things by habit. You will end up calling it sth, might as well be a better name than "Nameless."

Kitty sounds adorable! If my mom's dog didn't have such a high prey drive I would love to keep a little kitty... *sigh*

Unfortunately there are many stray cats about toronto. Hopefully this one will find a home

Perfect name for a cat: Shrodenger.

Hey! Great idea! Then she'll never be killed. And she'll always be killed. At the same time.

(I'm tipsy, not snarky. ;-D)
