Vet clinics often have litters of kittens to raise. Either they’re too young for a shelter, too sickly, or the clinic intends to adopt them out when they’re big enough. Whatever the reason, nurses often end up raising kittens and giving them ‘temporary’ names.
The intention of these temporary names is that if you give the kitten a stupid name, you have something to call it other than ‘the middle black male’, but because it’s a stupid name you wont get emotionally attached and end up keeping it. Again.
Which is how some nurses end up with cats that have names like ‘Flea bus’ and ‘Trash bag’.
These are the Best noises from my favourite animal.
I love this walking inkblot!
Do the wheezy noises mean anything in particular, or is that just what kitty snoring sounds like? One of our cats does that in his sleep, and I’m never sure if he has a mild kitty-version of a deviated septum or if some cats snore. It’s cute either way.
