Another kitten post....

I was going to try not to blog about the kittens very often but what the heck, they are cute and they make me smile.

Anyway, one of my duties is to name my little foster kittens.  Since the calico is a Hemingway kitten I was thinking that she should have a Hemingway related name. She is a really feisty little thing and she plays so much I am having trouble getting her to put on weight. She is also super cuddly and bendy. When the kittens play, every so often she has to run over to me to get petted or cuddled before she goes back out to play some more. She also is the one who is constantly checking to see what I am doing and is into everything. Since the kittens first adoption event is Friday I can't do my usual and wait for the kittens to tell me what their name is. Below are some of the possible choices. Feedback or other alternatives are welcomed.

Hemingway’s Women:

Hadley Richardson – 1^st wife

Pauline Pfeiffer; - 2^nd wife

Martha Gellhorn – 3^rd wife

Mary Welsh Hemingway – 4^th wife

Grace Hall-Hemingway – his mother

Agnes von Kurowsky – first love who jilted him

Lady Brett Ashley – character in The Sun Also Rises

Margot Macomber – character in The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber

Catherine Barkley - character in A Farewell to Arms

Maria - character in For Whom the Bell Tolls

Pilar – his boat

Hemingway cats:

Emily Dickinson

Amadea

Simone De Beauvoir

Nikki Adams

Audrey Hepburn

Joan Crawford

Gertrude Stein

Sofia Loren

Since the rescue group is treating these two like siblings, they want me to name them either something related or something that starts with the same letter. I thought of naming the little male cat Ernest Hemingway but he is so laid back (well, laid back for a kitten) that I am not sure Hemingway fits him. He is also a bit more independent and willing to be on his own than the female is. He also is a purring machine.

Hemingway characters:

Jacob Barnes - character in The Sun Also Rises

Santiago - character in The Old Man and the Sea

Lieutenant Frederic Henry - character in A Farewell To Arms

Robert Jordan - character in For Whom the Bell Tolls

Hemingway cats:

Hairy Truman

Archibald MacLeish

Spencer Tracy

Pablo Picasso

Charley Chaplin
