Title: Jasper and Zeta are coming on Saturday
Post by: Gillian Harvey on March 15, 2007, 18:17:05 PM
I wasnt expecting them till Sunday - now I've got to get the house all hoovered and smelling sweet  :evillaugh: before they descend on me on Saturday! i've been out a lot of the day today and I'm out all day tomorrow. Sounds like the whole family is coming over with them - my lot will love that! They wanted to bring 'em over on Friday evening  - I vetoed that one, I mean they'd hardly be settled into a strange room in a strange house (with a strange person!  ;) ) and it would be bedtime and they'd be wondering what on earth happened! I thought it would be much better to get a whole day of settling, before they were left in the dark so to speak!

Names - to be honest I'm not that keen on either of their names (apologies to anyone with a Jasper or Zeta  :evillaugh: ) - Do you think they are too old to change (12 and 13)? Mind you, I took on a 15 yr old cat  once called Muppet and decided I didnt want to call her that - so called her Millie, and she responded and knew her new name (oh, apologies again to Ellie - not being rude about Mups name - it just didnt suit my Mille!)

Good luck on Sat - I personally dont change cats names when they come to me as oldies, I think they have enough to get used to without being called somethign different, but i know some people believe in a new name for a new start.

I would try and stick to names that start with the same letter  if you have to change them.
So they say a cat only really hears the sounds of the first letter.

Cant wait to see pics of them
