The last day of my 4 day weekend, and I spent it playing with the kids and the kitten. We ate lunch outside with the Cat exploring the garden. I’m not a huge cat person. I like cats, but prefer dogs. For example, we’ve had a cat at home for 9 years. His name is Luna (we thought it was a girl), and most of you have probably never heard of him. Darcy on the other hand, everyone knows. Luna is in fact crazy, and I love him, but he’s no Darcy Dog. So this kitten comes to the house and everyone is in a tizzy. I of course think it’s cute, because it is, but am not on the oohing and awwing train quite yet.
All day they have all been calling it different names, trying them out for size I guess. Every time 2 or 3 of us agree, someone has a complaint. My vote obviously doesn’t count, but my input is taken under consideration. I almost had them agree on Katia, but the boys said no way. I didn’t even really like it that much but they seem to be big into the words that either sounds like cat or say cat in another language. Midway through the day I recommended Artemis or Athena. Now, if you asked the family who named the Cat, they wouldn’t say me, but let’s be honest, I named the Cat. Athena it is. The humorous part to me is the French aren’t exactly known for their ability to say the “TH” sound. For example, when the Kid says ”Thank you”, it comes out “sank you”. The older kids don’t have accents so they are fine, but hearing him calling for “Asena” is pretty funny.
Great name! of course we approve. Remember our dog Axel? The toddler set would always say "A#*%hole". Very funny.
