My sister knows some folks with kids named Arrow and Cougar. They let Arrow choose a name for the baby and lucky kid is COugar. GO figure. One tyke I know named his dog "Cowgirl". A little tough but works ok for them so who am I to argue? Cheetah sounds like a fun name to me. I tend to go for 2 syllable names for pets. Just works for me. Georgia is the color of red dirt like in Georgia and a real peach while Ginger is kind of a sweet gingery color. We call them the "G" girls sometimes. (a play on 'B girl') I had a dog named Stinky when I was a kid. Name fit I am sorry to say but she was a fine pal, stinking aside. Good luck Charlotte. I always think of how Leslie refers to a 'puppy daddy' as handsome traveling man. : ) Taria

Well, after telling DH that several of you also liked the Cheetah name, Cheetah it is. If we had waited any longer in deciding, I think she would have been permanently named Baby Kitty as that was what the kids were calling her in the mean time. The boys can say that they named her now, and I think she just may fit it personality wise too, we'll have to see. She is so little (0.9 lbs. and she's at least 5 weeks old probably more like 6) the vet wants us to keep her isolated for another 3 weeks to prevent her from getting sick. We'll see how well we accomplish that. We might start slowly in socializing her a bit before that.

Tried to send direct but it bounced

Love the name! Welcome Cheetah!!

Just a little cautionary word. There is a good reason the vet recommended isolation for another couple of weeks. If you can, do keep her away from others for a while longer. At her young age and without her mother's milk to help build up resistence she will be particularly vunerable to disease and infection.

Thanks for the caution Cheryl. We do know why she has recommended it. She doesn't want her to catch a respiratory infection or other contagious kitty stuff that our adult cat, Darius, could pass to her. We are planning on doing 2 weeks isolated and then (depending how she's doing in the growth dept.) the 3rd very slowly starting in socializing her, but keeping it very minimal - i.e. allowing them to touch under the door way, letting Samson and Darius sniff her and look at her a bit while she's in a carrier, etc. Right now they can't even interact under the door as she is behind 2 doors. So for now she is good and safely isolated. She is already so much feistier than she was when she first came, part due to the change in surroundings, but I also think was she wasn't getting quite enough to eat from mama. She is the largest of the 6 and if she is so small for her age, the others are terribly tiny.
