TheFlyingGerbil Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 He looks a lot bigger in the photo than in the videos - I wasn't expecting him to be a little kitten.he got the hang of the feathers quickly enough. What would your wife like to call him? I like Goliath, but it is very masculine and quite the mouth full, so I can see her point. It;s hard to shorten unless you just went for a completely different pet name (if you'll excuse the pun). Golly is a cute abbreviation, but I guess not something you'd want to use? I don't think I'd be comfortable using it though at least he's ginger so it could be worse. (am I going to hell for saying that?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Yeah, they estimate that he's only about 2 1/2 months old. He's a lot stockier than his brother. I like Goliath because it makes me think of Gargoyles, the greatest show ever. I'll see if I can sell my wife on Golly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 If I ever got my own cat I' call it something awesome. Like Admiral Meow. If he's an ass he gets demoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I like the way Ethan runs his house. "No hunny, don't clean the house, just strut around in your bikini while I get cat footage to post for my internet friends." It's a weird life, but it's Ethan's life, and I respect that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 We got him a rawhide stick because he's been chewing on cords and we wanted to redirect, but he seemed to have more fun spinning it on the kitchen floor. Also, my wife didn't like "Golly", so now I'm taking the tactic of just calling him Goliath to see if it'll stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Call it 'Mightbe', as in They Might Be Giants and also like Maeby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Haha. Reminds me of my lass. She loves anything long and hard. Anything. Straws, green beans, lengths of pipe. Lengths of pipe. We'll find dehydrated green beans under the rug in the basement from months earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheMightyEthan Posted June 22, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I think we may have agreed to change his name to Zorro. My wife likes it because she thinks he looks like a fox, and zorro is Spanish for "fox", and I like it because it's Zorro. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Also, my wife didn't like "Golly", so now I'm taking the tactic of just calling him Goliath to see if it'll stick. That's a good tactic. When my sister was pregnant last year, I would refer to the baby as Ulysses because A) it's a cool name and B) no one knew the sex yet and I was hoping for a nephew. The name caught on to the point when even my mom would say "yeah, when Ulysses is born...". It was, if nothing else, a fantastic way to piss my sister off. The baby turned out a girl anyways so it was all for nothing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 We saw this wrestle toy at Walmart that had a cloth covering and a crinkly material inside. We thought he'd like it, but it was too expensive for what it was, so we wadded up grocery bags and put them in a sock instead. I didn't think to get the camera until he was already pretty worn out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 We have one. I've read though that it can stress cats out if you use it too much, because they can never actually catch the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 One of the best cat toys I've seen is just a plain old ball made out of crinkly material. Mine always love that crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I prefer dogs because I can play rough with them without the need of tools and trinkets. Fucking cat claws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
