Gus or Mike???

Friday, November 6, 2009 Chandra Sherin Leave a comment Go to comments

Our new kitten, who we named Gus, does not know his name yet, and now we are considering naming him Mike (Michael).  He really looks like a Mike and seems to respond to this name more than Gus.  We really like the name Gus, perhaps it could be his middle name?  What do you think?

 

Every time I say Mike or Michael, he responds now.  With Gus, he acts like I am not even remotely talking to him.  Hmmmmmm…

Well, I just called him to me, saying, “Mike!  Michael…”  And he came running to me, the first time he has ever done so.  Curious.

    ~ wow ~
    a new kitten, how exciting :)
    His face seems to say, Gus. But, Mike must be what he wants. Maybe Mike reminds him of his Mom-Cat, since it starts with M.
    As far as the KittyFamily at your house …… Abigail, Boris & Mike sound good together too.
    He is adorable.

    I love that photo of him. The light coming through his ears and the reflection of the back of his head behind him.

    It was a pleasure to meet Gus, or Mike, whichever he ends up being. He’s a real sweety. When he brought me his little mouse I knew that we were friends.

      Yes, that was so sweet how he brought you the mouse toy. It was good for him. To know you were visiting and a friend, not someone walking in to take him off, like he maybe felt with everyone coming and going in the antique shop. Thank you. I love this photo too. :)

    He looks like an “Ike” to me. or maybe “Fluff Face”.

    I heard of a Phoebe telling her “person” what her name was. It may be the same for Mike (Michael) {oh, who said that?}
