Another New Arrival
Feb. 21st, 2009 08:24 pmOne week after adopting the beautiful, loving, black-as-night Nix(sic) (pics here) into the commune, we have managed to come across a second, just as beautiful and loving calico/tabby kitten whom we have happily named Amber (pic here).
I would have named our black kitty Onyx had I adopted her myself, after the "precious gems" naming convention I have used with previous pets, so Kevin's choice of names is just as fitting. As for Amber, I did sort of use the same convention - the name came from the same image I linked to above while looking through other images of gems and such, but none seemed fitting enough. I'll admit, despite naming her Amber, I'm still not 100% on the name, but there were no full objections from the other commune members.
( Now for the story. )
