Hello folks! I’m writing to ask your help with something – I breed and show Abyssinian cats. Now, I have two lovely kittens I need to name by this week so they can be registered in time for a large cat show later this month. I want to name them something whistle-music related.
I thought about O’Riordan’s Reveler for the boy. But perhaps a song title would be better? (Besides, Mr. O’Riordan might hate cats and decide never to make me a whistle! ;>) I’ll confess – I’m stumped. Do any of you kind folks have a name suggetion or two for my little boy and girl kittens?

P.S. If I can figure out how to put a photo up here, I will post a pic of them, should anyone be interested.
First you need to put it on-line. If you have a webpage that will allow outside linking, that will work…if not, you can use one of the free photo services, such as Snapfish.com.
Once it’s on-line, use this html code in the body of your message to post it:
You’ll have to close up all the spaces except between “IMG” and “SRC”…I put them in so the code wouldn’t embed. Don’t forget the quotation marks…it won’t work without them.
Caledonia
Diamond (As in “Bonny Ship The Diamond”
Finnegan (Finnegan’s Wake)
Claddagh
Athenry
Any of the County Names (I like Kildare and Kerry, myself)
Gaelic and Storm (Album? Herding Cats, duh!)
Personally, I think the obvious thing to do is to name them after the same tune… Boy from Ballisodare and Dublin Lass … then of course, they’ll just be ‘boy’ and ‘lass’ at home, which is easy to remember.
I know of a jig named Huish the cat. I love sound of the name although I don’t know if I pronounce it right. I say it like wheesh. Sorta sounds soft and kittenish.
You didn’t close up all the spaces. That’s why we can still see the code. There should be no spaces at all except for between IMG and SRC…everything else should just run together.
To get the correct URL from snapfish, first click on the picture you want to post, so that ALL you see is the picture (full-size, not a thumbnail). Then, if you’re running Netscape, right click on the picture and choose “copy image location.” Then do a “CTRL V” to paste it into the code here.
If you’re running a different browser, you can just copy the location from the locater bar and paste it as above.
The URL is going to be really long, with lots of numbers in it…that’s one way you can tell you have the right one.
