Showing Original Post only (View all)Need help naming a BLIND FERAL KITTEN I adopted [View all]
The kitten was born with a condition called Microphthalmia, which apparently is Latin for small eyes. She has abnormally small eye sockets and is completely blind. A friend of mine feeds the feral cats in her neighborhood. The little blind kitten, along with her sister and Mother, showed up a few months ago. Blind kitty was starting to run around on her own and getting dangerously close to the road. So my friend trapped the blind one, followed by the mother and sister about a week later. My friend was looking for a permanent home for at least the blind kitten, but I thought it would be best if she had her sister with her. All three (mother, who is about a year old, and the two female kittens, now about 3 months old) are living in my house, along with my cranky old man cat. Ive had the 3 girls for about a month and the kittens have adjusted well to domesticated life; the mother, not so much.
Anyone have a good idea for names for the kittens? My family has suggested Keller for the blind one (Helen is too conservative for such a cute kitten). My daughter wants to name the blind one Stevie, as in Wonder. I need names for both kittens actually. The mother will probably be returned to my friends neighborhood after the winter has passed. Several of her siblings are still there and my friend feeds them daily. I dont think the mother will ever adjust to living inside.
