We finally named the cat.

We named her Pigeon!

So, congrats to .tiff. who won herself a fancy Amazon gift certificate. Fancy!
Now for some more backstory: The kitten started to coo a couple days after we got her and then she started to hang out on our shoulders and pick up scraps from the trash. We started calling her Pigeon to see if it would stick but we were still out on someone to actually suggest the name pigeon. I'd hate to get 170+ comments and not actually use one of them. Lucky for us .tiff. picked it out (randomly! there was no baiting here...) and the name really did stick.

We got a lot of really fantastic names, a lot of which made us laugh (if you haven't seen the reasoning for why we should have called her Kate Moss you should probably read that) Thank you everyone for suggesting great names, I hope we can do it again soon (but with someone else because one cat is enough for me)!

Dearest Voxies,

There's a new kitten in town and it's plastering my blog with more cuteness than you could ever imagine. But there's a catch: kitten needs a name.

Let's explain... Kitten is two years old but she's ultra-compact, weighing less than 5lbs and looking like a 6-month old kitten. She has absolutely no teeth (removed by the vet because of complications), she's allergic to herself and has a runny nose, she's super-loving and a big attention whore. And she has really smelly farts.

So here's the deal: we need to name her and we're going to let the vox community do it. Well, kinda. You get to suggest names and we'll pick the best one. That person will win the grand prize of one (1) $10 Amazon gift certificate. To aid you on your quest we're including a number of pictures of the kitten with everyday objects so you can understand her size and cuteability.

You cannot escape the cute cat videos on Comet. Actually, you can. I can't get this video to upload correctly to Comet. This was stolen from vimeo - I think I like their flash player much better than I like the youtube-ish one.
