Hi Rosie...cats do pick their names. I have 3 Xena, Simba and Rocky. Xena has been a scrapper since I got her at a week old. If she wasn't she would never have survived my inempt attempt at saving her...she'll be 4 in August. Simba was from a shelter, with the name of Scotty. Now who ever heard of a cat named Scotty. He was 10 months old and his walk was so regal like Simba from the Lion King so I named him Simba. He's 3 this month. The baby is named Rocky. He was so sickly when I got him at 4 weeks old so I named him Rocky so he'd be a fighter and survive. He's 2 this month. Good luck naming your kitty. What ever the name it's a lucky feline to have you as a mommy. Don't be too disappointed if the kitty doesn't lap sit. None of mine do. They lay on me or next to me when they want, but all have their own version of how things should be.
