It was either that, or Miss Kitten Poo

[snugglekitty]

The kitten has been gracious enough to accept a use-name of Nightshade. We'll see whether it becomes permanent. I must have tried dozens of names before finding a favorable response, including such charmers (or so I thought) as Beatnik, Ace, and Indigo Montoya. csixballistics says that cats like I and O sounds best, so maybe that is part of why.

The cats are more interested in each other's company at this point than they are in the company of humans, so playing with them is now more for fun than a matter of a desperate need for attention.
