day 341: how they got their names!

September 19, 2007 by maman.

i got tagged by Starbuck and Torrey - The Bengal Kittens
for this meme about how my kittens got their names.

NOA & ASH

before i met noa and ash, i really wanted to live with two kittens so bad.but for some reason i had to wait for a while.. during the “without kittens” period, i dreamt having two white kittens, (coz when i was a little girl i lived with a beautiful white kitty, and i loved him soooo much.) papan and i already put names for our dream kittens, “milk and cream”.

we’d like to adopt kittens, we went to the “Adopt-A-Cat-at-the-Garden”
(this year is on oct 13 and 14 (in NYC))

we met noa & ash! who are not white kittens!
i just fell in love with ash, and papan couldn’t resist noa.

we had to think about their names!! (finally!!)
like everyone else, we had though and though about what to name them..

NOA

we named her based on her beautiful black stripes.
and papan loves “film noir” movies (French for “black film”)
we named her “noir” in-fact, we don’t really call her noir, we call her noah!
sometime we call her noahchi.

ASH

we also named her based on her nice shinning grey coat.
(in Japanese grey is “haiiro” (灰色, lit. “ash-color”)), and i loved one character called ash from japanese manga. hehe (^ω^;) we sometime call her ashlan, too.

that’s all!!

noa & ash: we love our names!!

I am going to tag three cats. They will have to tell the story of how they got their names, and then tag three other cats. You should announce which cats you are tagging in your blog, and then let them know by commenting in their blogs.

1) Faz the Cat
2) Kelly Cat
3) hatchan （はっちゃん日記）
* hatchan is the super famous cat who lives in Japan. i hope her maman has time to response this (>ω<)

i also want to thank you for leaving us comments! they are make us smiles!!
