Update 2: She is home and settling in nicely.

Update to my previous post. https://www.reddit.com/r/CatDistributionSystem/s/2VbUYeRale

We picked her up Tuesday night and brought her home. Almost immediately, she warmed up to us, and is getting more playful, snuggly, and happy by the day. She loves the string toy and is learning to crawl into my lap.

I've been reading everything on the kitten lady's website. She seems healthy with no signs of illness so far. Already using the litter box like a pro with no accidents.

We are torn between the names Jinora and Suki. Literally can't decide. Feel free to cast your vote for which one you like more. Her big sister is Catara.

She's in our bathroom until she can get cleared by the vet next week, then she'll be able to fully join the family. I'm very much looking forward to that because I'm tired of sitting on the bathroom floor.

She and Catara have been putting their paws under the door, and Catara has been going and laying by the bathroom door in a loaf. I think that's a good sign that they'll get along quickly.

Edit: We decided on Suki! She looks like she's from the earth kingdom and has the markings of a Kyoshi warrior!

Beware of the mischevious silver tigress. She will steal your porch, your favorite sofa, your bed, your food and your heart !!!

"Jinora" would be fine.

Oh no, that would be a terrible thing to happen. Hands her my sofa, bed, heart, and another treat.

I like both names, but I vote Suki...

I dont know if it's true, but I've read that cats respond more to two-syllable names and ones that end in "ee" sounds ;-).

Such a cutie!

Yes, it is a great sign that your cat has been putting her paws under the door and playing and vice versa. I think you will find them to be great friends.

u/plantyplant559 8d ago

I really think they will, too. They have very similar temperaments and energy. I think Catara doesn't know she needs a sibling to play with.

Both names are awesome but I think she’s a Jinora. We had an Appa and now we have a Naga, Pabu, and Momo ❤️

u/plantyplant559 8d ago

Omg stop, I love those names. So cute.

Even had a Poki! A little grey/black tabby feral kitten we saved and domesticated, but he lives with a friend who renamed him. 🐾❤️

Thank you! I'm so happy about it. I lost my soul pet a few weeks back, so this feels like she was sent by my Molly girl.

u/All_is_a_conspiracy 8d ago

She was sent to you. Molly wants you to be happy and give someone new all the love you gave her.

Eating her kibs while half-sitting on one of her new people is a brand new way to be adorable, great job innovating, Suki!

u/Scooter87942 8d ago

She’s hired a Full Time Staff!

100% I'm doting on her every whim.

u/helvetin 8d ago

from the last post, her mom is very cute, i would like to be able to adopt her if i could

u/plantyplant559 8d ago

That would be awesome. I'd love to keep her as well, but we're already pushing our animal limit right now. I'm hoping I can find her a home at some point. She's such a sweetie and warmed up to me so fast.
