The Naming Of Cats

It took us over two weeks but I think we've finally come to terms with some tags for these kittens. And if you haven't voted for what you'd like us to name the boy the polls will stay open for another day or two but then we may end up having to change his name & then kitten identity crisis and therapy down the road; just ugly. So without further adieu...

Let's go alphabetical

ALPS

P1100359

Alps is the boy. Alps is the name we liked the best, and whadya know, it also won in the poll by a whopping 2 votes. Alps is a frigin sweetheart. He loves to nuzzle you right in the face and let you wear him like a neck brace. If you blow warm air on his neck he will pass out like I've never seen a cat pass out.

HØGNI

P1100121

The first night we brought them home Høgni was the last one out of the carrier, by like 20 minutes. Since then she's been coming out of her shell and actually turned into a bit of a hellian, but she's always the first one to climb into bed at night and sleep hard. She is the most well behaved of the four and usually just wants to be on you.

L'SCHTUPPE

P1100105

This cat is frigin nuts. She likes to incite riots and has a propensity for fits of rage if anyone tries to mess with her little pink jingle mouse. She's fast as all getout and always one step ahead of me when I go to try and prepare their food out of reach. L'Schtuppe is also the loner of the group.

OBLADI

P1110015

Obladi is definitely the runt of the group. She's always running to catch up with the others, is usually oblivious to whatever game is being played or just generally getting knocked out or beaten up by L'Schtuppe. But she is a perfect little calico and stinking purr machine. I can hear her now and I'm across the house.

I know we are crazy to adopt 4 more kittens but could you have broken them up?
