My Farmer went miles out of his way to bring me a little present two weeks ago:

She was abandoned in the ditch, near one of the busiest roads in our area. I suppose she might have wandered away, but half a mile from anywhere is pretty far for a kitten this little to wander. I’m just saying. So on a mission of mercy My Farmer backtracked home. I was reading to the children in the living room when he dropped her in my lap.
Needless to say we didn’t get any more schooling finished that day.
She has been making use of our never-used dog kennel as her home base. She spent the first few days in the house, the next few on the back porch but in the kennel, and once the other cats in our family stopped hissing she spent her days following them around. She is still sleeping in the kennel at night and sneaking into the house every time the door opens.
There is debate over her name. The suggestions have been: Barley, Patches, compromise of Barley-Patch, Marguerite, Maggie, and Hespa (the last three are characters from recent books). I’ve just been calling her ‘The Kitten.’ Any ideas would be appreciated!
.
Oh she’s so sweet! I miss having cats and kittens around, but living in an apartment, it’s difficult.
I like Marguerite. Or Marley. Or Billie. OK I know, very different. Just from the top of my head, tip of my tongue!
Oh my gosh. That picture, in addition to being adorable, is hysterical! Her eyes!
Heeheehee.
I’m digging Hespa…I’ve never heard that name.
I would like to put that little thing in a bag around my neck so it could be with me always. Cutest Cat Ever! I want it. No I don’t. Kinda.
I need back story on the name Hespa, cause I dig it so long as the character is good.
She is so cute! Love how she’s colored. Not that you would, but please don’t name her Sugar or Princess or anything like that. Almost every cat I know with those names is the exact opposite:) What about Leia?
I like the name Hespa, as someone said, as long as this is a good character in the book.It’s an unusual name, not too long, but just right somehow. She’s adorable this new kitten!
D says “bug” because of her cute eyes – but said he would really have to meet her to come up with a name that means nothing, but fits, like with ours. lolol. I think you should call her Lolly (because of the licking) or Pop – goes for the eyeballs and the licking. hhmmm. Maybe Lick-her?
She is to cute. Your lucky that your farmer brings home little critters. My farmer brings me home big critters like a Llama for Valentines Day. but hey I love him,and he really knows me best.
Great blog and I am happy I have found it. I will continue to keep up with it.
Have a great day
