Just her dry cat food and occasionally she'll steal licks of a Popsicle.

But that's gotta hurt!
The only time my cats tolerate each other is when they're eating in the kitchen. Apart from that...it's war. Ambushes, surprise attacks, little scud missile of a cat pouncing out of the undergrowth, "mexican" stand offs...aye aye aye.
But by heck they are entertaining

My brother's first cat was named Sushi. I love the name!
(I realized the cat had no tail, but I still like the name Whisk.)
Keep in mind what nickname the name might generate: Wusthof: Wussie? 
Here are some more that occurred me: - Ghee
- Parm
- Sassafras
- Thyme (although I like Chervil for a name, too)
- Coq au Vin (sounds like Cocoa)
Sometimes you just need to live with a pet for a while. Its habits and personality emerge, suggesting an appropriate name.

Considering there is a wild cat called a Cervil, not a bad name at all.

Looks cute, but way too wild for me!

I almost wish I had seen her dead on the side of the road, just so we'd know what became of her.
So we will be getting a kitten when the weather warms (easier time to housetrain).
We're thinking a short haired, spotted calico, and if so, we'll name her Truffles.

Well, little miss Truffles is now home. Haven't seen her much, been at a different house. She's absolutely adorable, about 10 weeks old. I'm having a hard time getting a good picture of her for two reasons: (A) she's 100% black with bright yellow eyes, black cats aren't easy to get a picture of (B) she's a kitten and loves to move, try shooting a picture with a moving black cat.
Soon though, I'll be posting a picture. Thank you to everyone who has helped with names. Truffles doesn't seem as fitting for a black cat, but the dad loved it, so Truffles it is.

I thought of another name, 4 months later . . . Momo. I named a cat that once and when i called her by name she would say "momo" back to me.
Momo is a Tibetan potsticker type of thing. |

Um...
"Momo" is a West African evil spirit. Very evil.
Maybe stay away from that name.
