My friend sent me this picture of her new kitten

[Walleye]

I don’t think she will mind if I post it. The name is has been Marley, but she’s also wavering toward Puffin as a name. Which does anybody think is better? I drove with her up to her sister the vet yesterday, with the kitty carrier in my lap and the kitty seemed fine, got some more treatment and seems to be doing well.

1. What a cutie!

Glad to hear he's doing better! Looks like a sweet little baby soon to become a crazed monster about the house.

2. Very sweet

Looks a bit more like a Marley than a Puffin but that’s jus me and both names are cute

[Walleye]

3. I don't care which name she uses they all get called kitty from me eventually

11. Mine all end up being called "baby".

4. Use both names.

Sir Marley of Puffin. I tend to give my cats long, rather absurd names with literary allusions and wordplay. Thus, I have shared my home with Hastur The Unspeakable, Tsarina Natasha Krospina I (Empress of All The Cats), HRM Queen of Carcosa Shadowskittyboomboom The Pitiless, Ulthar Ynxpaaht, Miss Katonic Neferkitty, and The Grey Mouser.

7. Good suggestion, I like Marley of Puffin a lot

Love the funny names of your cats

5. Such a sweet little face. I like Puffin and Marley both. My little tuxie was named

Mildred, but I ended up calling her Little Willie.

6. She has big ears like Arthur's

[niyad]

10. That was the first thing I noticed!

8. Puff or Fin sounds better as shortened than Marl.

With the season I immediately thought Marley’s ghost from a Christmas Carol.

What’s in a name? Lots.

9. Awwwwwww what a cutie. Sir Marley of Puffin! He has Arthur ears!!!

12. Looks like a tuxie

[Walleye]

13. Yes, he is, a little tuxedo kitten

[wendyb-NC]

14. Tuxedos are very cool cats

I had a tuxedo cat years ago, her name was Yoshi. She'd jump up on my desk and get into my desk supplies. Her favorite was a rubber band .She'd grab one in her mouth and snag the ends on her front and back feet, and stretch out on the floor. It appeared that she was flossing her teeth.

15. Marley sounds a little more like a girly name to me...

...and you said he's a tuxie.

He has an abundance of whiskers!

[Walleye]

16. Yeah, I do like Puffin, because I used to spend summers in Alaska on a salmon boat

And now that you mention it, I do think Marley sounds a little more like a girl’s name. Yes a sweet little tuxedo kitten.
