New Arrival??? - Orchid Board

I am not sure yet on how I feel about a new addition but I guess I have no choice. I was sitting on my front porch admiring the Chids and I heard a faint meow. Then a minute later I see something move in the corner of my eye.

The next thing I know he was staring up at me at a distance. So I had to go inside and get some food and you know what that means right. He still does not like to be touched and we have not named him either. Any suggestions on a name?!!!!

Since he arrived without a tag I thought to call him "Noid" but my wife said NO

Thanks for your help.

Oh boy--your done for--how adorable! We have three cats, so I can relate.

As far as a name--I say get to know him first. Sometimes their personality will give you a proper fitting name.

How about "Tux" He looks dressed for a night on the town with new socks too.

He's cute.

That first picture brought tears to my eyes. He just looks so needy. You're a kind hearted person, Dave. I don't care what anybody says.

I have the same situation going on here. A big, long-haired tabby tom cat showed up. He lives in the barn and doesn't hurt a thing. But I was determined not to name him and get attached.

He's a stray and I can't pet him or get too close.

One night I took his supper out to him and it just slipped out!!! I called him Mr Big and now that's his name.

I just can't trust me around animals.

Yep, that first picture is a tear jerker. . .crapo.

Dave the little kitten needs a home. And guess what? You're it! Spend some time with him and a name will come to you. It's too early to tell but he kinda looks like a "Hiker".. .Hi-Grrr.

How about Orchid Hi-Grrr.

Dave, he looks sweet

He reminds me of a friend's cat with the white paws...

Yea I agree the first picture is a tear jerker,

I noticed that I need to paint the railing and rake under the hedge.
