Questions about new black kitten

Welcome to TDK. I am partial to Onyx or Midnight. You never know who your cat will bond with, but they will look for affection when they need or want it. Don’t forget to come and chat in the cafe or night shift and share stories about your little bundle of joy!

Our cats each have their favorite person at certain times of the day. Cheetah and Squeaky always cuddle up to me about 3 in the morning and want nothing to do with their daddy. But in the evening when hubby is in his recliner, Squeaky has to be on top of him. If I’m in the recliner, she ignores me.

Maybe your little black kitty senses how much your eight-year-old likes him and that’s made a special bond.

My very first cat was a black cat. I named him Pepperoni. Peppy for short.

Congratulations on your new baby!

My Jetta is a black cat. My vet named her. I couldn’t think of a name, either, and said Jet but I didn’t like that, especially for a girl, so she said how about Jetta? Also, someone I knew said animals will give away their names, to watch their personalities for a few days and the purrfect name will come to you! You said he hasn’t cried… my girl didn’t meow for almost nine months, I though she didn’t know how.. turns out she had nothing to say till then, but once she started… OY! can’t shut the girl up! Enjoy your new baby and welcom to TDK!

When we got Stinkey in ’96, I was a week away from being 8, and even though my mom and brother were apart of her life, she’s always been my cat… maybe kids have strange ways of bonding, and the kitties can easily relate???

Or maybe they like that kids are smaller.

I once had a black cat named Chance, but I called him Booger… hah, I was young though, and I still stink with naming kitties!

How old do you think your kitten is?? Charlie was around 3 weeks, so I was constantly touching him, and being his “momma cat” that he’s now almost 1 and still comes to me every morning, night, every time I go to the bathroom (I don’t close it all the way knowing he’ll follow me in), and is always around me.

But even though I got Tiger around 6 weeks old, I didn’t have to constantly watch him and give him the love charlie missed out on, so he’s really independent from me. Plus High School kept me away for hours at a time while he developed 🙁 He still gets love on occasion, but he’s nothing like Charles.

I agree with waiting to see what name pops up when you’re playing/watching him.
