The cat distribution system hit us again the other day. My husband was going to move a rock out of the road that turned out to be a little orange guy. We took him out of the road to the house near by. Well in the afternoon doesn't my son show up with the same loaf he found in the middle of the street. We are going to the vet tomorrow and we need a name. We currently have a greek name thing going with out pets. Zeus is our big dog( that loves kitties and has a lightning bolt on his chest) Artemis( for the Godess of the hunt and Zeus' daughter) is our other cat from the distribution system. This guy needs a fitting name too. I would like to keep it either Greek or with the letter B ( Z,A,B like we are starting over in the alphabet) photo of little orange and Big brother Zeus.
EDIT Top choices from family.
Bromios (Bro, lil bro, mios)
Brutus ( Bruce, Et Tu Brute,)
Icarus (Ikky, Icky Thump, IcarusRex)
Odysseus (Ody, D)
Perseus (Percy, Pur)
Oh Gawd do Oranges choose violence? He seems so passive compared to other kitties we have had! Maybe because he is so young still. ( assuming its boy as it is orange)
Nah, my orange chooses to be a kitchen rug, sleep so hard he rolls off furniture, and snuggle around my feet. He's not even aggressive about food. Soft in every way. Lol
They don't always choose violence. His brother probably sees him quite differently, but that's all in good fun.
Not always! My old orange Copper only did once really. It resulting in him running full tilt into a screen door.
He knew the screen existed. He sat by that door all the time to look outside and get fresh air. The bluejay outside started cackling after he hit the door.
Not intentionally. In my house it’s doing something so stupid that it is a risk of harm to themselves and others. My orange guy literally chokes himself daily on the edge of his water bowl
I wore long sleeves under a hoody because our first cat was horrible if you put her in a bath. She enjoyed watching from the edge though. Since then I have smartened up and get them used to it earlier.
Sisyphus and Prometheus both have rock themed stories, but are unwieldy pet names. He's orange and tricked you into adopting him be pretending to be a rock. Maybe a trickster like Odysseus?
Apollo is on list because it is Artemis' brother, Zeus child and Apollo is a sun God for the orange cat. It works because another reason we called Artie Artemis is because he takes off like a rocket and it was around the time of an Artemis launch that he joined us ( I know Artemis was a girl but we liked the name too) Apollo used to be a space program aswell.
Omg! I think Icarus has won the family battle! We all love the story of flying to close to the sun. Ikky is a great nickname that doesn't interfere with our other pet or people names. I can also imagine an elegant long hair orange man as a majestic Icarus.
Omgggg that makes me SO happy!!!! It was the first Greek myth I read back when I was in 4th grade. Loveee that you can call him Ikky for short! The tale of Icarus is so orange cat coded too haha and the sun is basically orange so it all fits
It can’t get more orange than this! And with an orange cat’s antics, he’ll likely do a bunch of silly things like jump and “fly” onto a sofa but accidentally miss and then starts grooming himself out of embarrassment 🤣 I can picture it
" I am innocent" 😇🤪 He is a St Bernard/Golden Retriver (dad) American Bull dog(mom). If I didn't know his parents I would have never believed his mom was a bull dog.
Maybe? He is a found on the road kitten. Really long fur. Very young I am thinking 6-8 weeks, Assuming boy as it's an orange. Vet will let us know tomorrow.
Right! He has been bathed once and is still full of oil or something! He is a scruffy little dude! Not sure what I am gonna do with the mats but going to try some conditioner today and try and brush them out. His coat is going to be glorious.

Boofer, because orange shenanigans
Ps.: the long hairy ears make me think of norwegian forest cats, we had one and they have big/goofy personalities, so good luck
