Don't you know???
That's when she is meditating about her NAME


The Naming Of Cats by T. S. Eliot

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter--
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover--
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

Awww Dagny and Jiskefit you are making me well up a little bit. I think you are right in that Cartman guided me to her. I have never been much of a spiritual person but since loosing Cartman I still feel his presence/soul with me. I truly don't believe he is just gone.

Love the poem Jiskefit – thank you for posting it

I just read this entire thread; it's a beautiful story, and I hope Ms Hoover settles into her new home!

Plus she is absolutely gorgeous

Beautiful

I have followed your story from the start Alfride - I too believe you and Rosie were meant to be together, and I also believe Cartman knew that - he sent you someone that he knew would be good for you, and more importantly, who he knew you would be good for x

Wow what a lovely story! I too have just read from start to finish! I'm so glad you chose Rosie and it all worked out! She is beautiful

I think Ms Hoover and Jiskefet must have been related....
Jiskefet means dustbin in Frisian.
Just guess where he got that name from....

Hi Oscars mam
I saw you got yourself a stunning Rosie as well! My next cat is going to be a boy – and the Oscar name has been a strong contender for a while now

Hehe that is very cool.


So in about an hour Rosie and I will be moving. I think she knows something is up as she is even more clingy than usual. Maybe she is feeling my nervousness.

I will update when I get me some Internet.

You can't go wrong with an Oscar and Rosie
Hope your move goes well xx

I don't think Rosie likes her new place She spends most of her time in bed sleeping or looking very sad – not much purring either.

She has also started to cry a little at the doors. I think she mostly wants to go out to do her business as she hates her litter trays.

She does play a little but not with the same enthusiasm as she used to. I think my little girl is depressed! Hopefully it will change when she is allowed out and see her forest.

I think she has come to the conclusion that she like the stairs as she uses them as a lookout. It was pretty funny seeing her deal with them for the first time – the little sounds she makes when she isn't impressed/pleased are so cute.

Meal time is the best as she starts to act like her annoying little self.

Saw the neighbours cat the other day – he/she is the spitting image of Cartman only smaller and with a normal size tail. My heart kind of melted and broke at the same time. Hopefully he/she will get along with Rosie.

No pictures I am afraid, as I don't want to bother her, in her state of mind.

Right, I officially have my evil Rosiepie back – she just brought in her first mouse since moving. She is just such a little sh*t – why keep torturing it – just kill it you little predator! That poor little mouse cried so much it was horrible! I want my Cartman back – he never put me or any mouse (let me live in my denial) though such horror!!!

Now that routine has kicked in, the little diva is herself again. Being extremely naughty and at the same time feeling oh so sorry for herself. She is just such an actress – the ohh I am so innocent act is just precious! She is lucky she is so adorable.
