I got a new Cleo v2.0 contest!


So my friends and I found this abandoned kitty cat about six weeks ago prowling around their house, and finally this past Monday (my monday off!) I took her into the Humane Society to get her checked for worms and vaccinated so my darling friend could keep her. It's strange because she's almost in every way exactly like Cleo, so much so that when I went home I had to make sure Cleo was still kicking it around my apartment instead of wandering random neighborhoods. 

The poor creature was so malnourished and underweight, but it was so strange since she is declawed on all four paws - something that costs a fair amount of money for an animal that is just going to be abandoned eventually. Anyways, the vet said that this happens alot. Someone gets a pet, goes through the process of getting spayed/neutered, declawed, vaccinated - but for some reason or another figures that it doesn't want to pay to feed the animal anymore and just lets it loose in some suburban neighborhood. To me that doesn't make any sense since all the bills totaled up from spaying and declawing the animal are more than a whole years worth of feeding it. Why make the "investment" if you're just going to abandon it when the hard part is over with? Anyways, I digress.

So there's this cat, and I have the task of having to name it. Mind you, I have never named anything in my life. Any animal I have ever owned has always come to me with a name (almost like getting a new room mate but without the sex addiction and bad habit of stealing your clothes) and the only thing in my life that I think I have ever named was Beary, my teddy bear, which did not take much creativity to do.

So, I need help naming this animal - It's a girl which is kind of hard since I had some pretty good boy names lined up and didn't think of girl names at all. I can't think of anything that isn't something you'd name a human or too cutesy (i hate cutesy) - so please help!

Leave suggestions in the comment section. So that people don't leave sarcastic names like "stupid" or "roadkill" (both very nice but inappropriate) I'm going to make this into a contest.

The person that comes up with the name I like most will get to choose ONE of the following prizes:
  1. Thymes Lavender Travel Kit (Includes body wash, shampoo & conditioner, bath salts, body lotion) - lavender scent
  2. Desktop hanging photo frame, silver and glass (very cool)
  3. 1 bottle of MAC nail polish in Noir
  4. Sushi gift set (includes sushi mat, chopsticks, 2 laquer or ceramic sushi stands, cookbook)
  5. Stationary set/Thank you card set (don't worry, i have nice ones for you
**EDIT** Okay - so that all these prizes don't sound like they're from you-know-where, I 'm going to make one of the prizes (in honor of cousins alyssa and allie):

6. One pair of Havianas Flip Flops (can see them here)
  i pick if theyre either the bobbi brown, laura mercier, or trish mcevoy one though.

I will personally pay for postage and mail the item to you all nice and wrapped up special. If I end up USING the name you provide you can choose TWO things from the list. WHAT AN AWESOME INCENTIVE!!!! I might even throw in a bonus prize if you guys can come up with it in the next week. Contest ends when the cat gets a name.

Think Kittys!
