Settling on a name
“Rosie” has won by default. One son calls her “Cat”, I tend to call her “Kitty”. George’s “Pestilence” and “Allergen” get the prize for snarkiness. The son who calls her “Cat”’s “Chlorine” gets the prize for paying attention to other son’s passion. “Sam” is a little too masculine for this particular feline, but we like the driver on Foyle’s War who has the same color hair. It’s not exactly rose-colored, but since the name reminds us of my daughter’s middle name, it’s close enough.

“Rosie” has not won yet, not while there are still excellent and inspirational alternatives such as Phlebitis (vernacular flea_bite_us), Gigantor, or Betty.
