Grey Kit-A finally has a name. We went through dozens of names. Matt and I couldn't agree on much. We asked the cat dozens of names. He seemed impervious to our suggestions. He ignored them all. They were not to his standard.
I looked up names that meant "brave" because surely this cat had to be brave living on his own outside. I found the name Oswald and thought that was cute, and that we could call him Ozzy.
Matt started singing "We're off to see the Wizard" (We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz/ Because, because, because because. Because of the wonderful things he does.) And that got completely stuck in our heads.
So, I asked the kitty if his name was Ozzy and he opened his mouth really wide and let out a big meow. We think he liked it.
Therefore, we think the kitty's name is Ozzy. And if we're feeling whimsical we can call him the "Great and Powerful Oz."
And as an added bonus, he is kind of a mumbly cat with an odd meow. (No, he does not bite the heads off bats.)
And in case you're interested here are some of the names suggested, considered and/or laughed at
- Harry Houdini (because he's an escape artist)
- 50 Shades (of Grey)
- Earl Grey (my favorite. Matt nixed)
- Oliver
- Zed
- Merlin
- Elton
- Winston
- Sherlock
- Watson
- Aslan
- Simba
- Axel
- Regalus Grey
- Poe
- Waldo
- Gandalf (the grey)
- Scout
