Witnessing a still nameless wee tiny 7-week-old kitten stalk and pounce on our resident mama cat (10x her size and who has done nothing but hiss and snarl at her for the past three days) I want to name her Mkali...Fierce in Swahili. But that sounds too close to Kyleigh...our wee girl child.
Names have power. We should have known better than to name a red-head Fierce.
Edited: Kitten has now been christened Her Right Honorable Maggie T. Kitty. But we'll just call her Maggie so it doesn't all go to her head.
