Mary-Mia's Twins Aren't the Only New Babies Around

Okay, so Rod and Mary-Mia have an adorable set of twin girls waiting for them in China. And, yes, we all agree they're pickin' adorable.

BUT! Not to be upstaged or outdone, their house is not the only one that has a new baby (or two) to brag about. We have a new baby in our house, too. And she's every bit as cute as the twins, PLUS... and this is a biggie... she has a tail! Can Mary-Mia's twins boast a tail? Surely not. Not one tail between the two of them. And what about whiskers, dammit. Any whiskers on those round, apple cheeks. I dare say not!

So, while the Chinese twins are, indeed, precious and bitable, in our house, we're preoccupied with our own little baby. She was found by Savannah and her friends, under a bush in a BMX park, screaming her lungs out and a little dusty, but otherwise no worse for wear. We suspect she's about five weeks old or so (her eyes are still very blue, and she's obviously new to solid food). As you can clearly see, at the moment, she could fit quite comfortably inside a No. 10 business-sized envelope.

She remains unnamed as yet, but we're still trying to get to know her. If you guys have any suggestions, please feel free suggest any names if you can think of them. We only just named another kitten a couple of months ago, and we're fresh out of fresh ideas.

  1. Oh what a little love! I just want to scoop her up and hug her. Gah, the unbearable cuteness!

    Do you like the name Uma? She kind of looks like an Uma to me. Beautiful, intelligent, a smidge mysterious. Plus you can make delicious rhymes out of her name while snuggling.

  2. Or eating... My daughter is constantly putting the kitten in her mouth -- or parts of her any way. Feet, face, tail, ears... She is pretty delictable, I must say.

    Oh, well, I guess the kitten's birth mother would have have her mouth all over her, so why shouldn't her adoptive mother? The kitten probably just thinks this is what life is -- an endless effort to extract oneself from one's mother's mouth.

  3. What about the name Chileon? His/her nickname could be "Chill" or "The Chill". Or, Velcro? Or Lucky?
    Just trying to help!

  4. Velcro! Oh, that would be perfect! But it seems the name Siren has stuck. Partially because that's how she sounds, and partially, because she's a mysterious mythical creature whose song lures the unsuspecting in so she can have her way with them.
