We can has (medium-sized, orange, male) kitten

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] wren13, Naku now has company again! He is a 14 week old, short-haired orange tiger kitten, quite shy but also cuddly. I turned down the Pine Banks male cat because he was just too domineering and huge for Naku.

The little guy is living in a huge dog cage in my office. He and Naku can sniff noses but not get to each other. There has been a certain amount of hissing and growling, but at this point the little guy is sacked out on top of his cat tower, and Naku is on the stairs and fairly relaxed. They will spend a week or so like this.

No photos yet, but he's awfully cute. He might get named Sam, or Whit.



He's resting on top of his litterbox, which allows him to see Naku and to stretch out... he is LONG!

Why Whit?

He's a cutie. I hope that the two cats will get along well- we're still hvaing problems between our two cats after more than a year together...

Whit for Whit Bluefield?

What a sweetie. But then I have a thing for orange tabbies (see icon).

omigod SO CUTE! *dies* I miss having a kitten in the house.

Is that Naku in your icon? If so, she's the spitting image of my little gray kitty!

OMG *ded from cute*

I think Whit is an awesome name for a cat (I personally have had thoughts of naming my next cat Mad Emperor Yuri).

Love the lower, paws-crossed, pose - charming little beast, isn't he?

He's so cute. But look at those paws, he's going to be a big cat. I'm sure Naku will warm up to him pretty quickly.

When I was a kid I had an orange tabby we called him Morris. Yeah, I know so original. I was 8.

I like Sam better of the two names you mention.

How's about the name Seville since he's about the color of a Seville Orange or the marmalade that is made from it....

He's very cute.

We have a belief around here that genetically, orange cats are TROUBLE! They have tons of personality and like to get into mischief. :D

I vote for Whit. The cat looks like a teenager I knew by that name: a not entirely serious young man with orange/red hair, skin to match, a good grin, and amusing company.

I agree, feliway is a Good Thing if you haven't tried it yet. Available as room diffuser or spray, helps reduce anxiety level of kitties to help with situations like meeting new cats, being in new spaces. Also reduces marking behavior like scratching, spraying because it basically tells cats they have already marked a space, so they don't need to again. Room diffuser probably makes the most sense for this situation. Looking forward to seeing you and your new kitty soon now that I'm in the neighborhood!
