Katie's Irvinisms: Cat Name?

Cat Name?

This cat has taken up at our house. We tried to run him off several times but he's decided he's staying! He has even managed to get INTO Rosco's pen with him and eat his food. Rosco let him a few times, ran him off a few times, and now I think they've worked out some sort of "agreement." Rosco eats first and then he lets "Mr. Cat" eat.

Well, we were NOT planning on keeping the cat. We're not really...um...cat people I guess you'd say. But like I said, the thing can't be run off so I guess he's here for good! I found out today that this is "cat week" at school. The kids in Josiah's class are supposed to bring a picture of their cat. Ugh. She said they can draw a picture, cut a picture out of a magazine, or bring a real picture of their cat. Of course, he wants to bring a real picture of his cat.

Anyway...the point of this blog entry is to help us come up with a name for this cat. It is a male and you can see the color of it from the pics. We welcome any suggestions and would love to have a suitable name by Friday (just don't get your feelings hurt if they totally shoot down your idea...they've pretty much shot down ALL of mine thus far).

Let us know what you think! You may just be the winner in our cat-naming contest! :-)

Brittany said...: What a sweet looking kitty (as long as it stays off the car, right? :))!

How 'bout "Snowball"? What about "Grey Snowball" or "Mr. Kitty."

I'm not very creative, so they can shoot my ideas down and it won't hurt my feelings at all! :); August 19, 2008 at 8:20 PM
Katie said...: Sorry...they didn't like any of the suggestions thus far. And Brandi? I hope that didn't sound negative!! I'm just not a big cat person. But that IS hilarious that YOU are the one who came up with the idea! How funny!!; August 20, 2008 at 9:39 AM

Those names come from the dukes of hazzard show and I think he looks a little like Roscoe p coltrane in the face. He is a very pretty cat. I know those names seem pretty way out but we thought we would send them any way.; August 21, 2008 at 3:40 PM

My Testimony

I was 9 years old and terrified that I was going to Hell when I died. I kept asking my mama questions about it. She would always just reassure me that I'd know when it was my time to ask Jesus in my heart. I went to Bible Camp that summer for the first time. The Lord spoke to my heart that Monday night during the preaching service through a sermon by Butch Lee. I didn't go down. I was afraid what the other kids would say...especially being new at camp and not knowing everybody. On Tuesday, I worried ALL day long because I KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT that if I died, I'd open my eyes in Hell. So back in the service on Tuesday night, I could hardly wait for the preacher to give the invitation. Sure I was still nervous, but I knew I needed him more than I needed to be nervous! I went down and got my counselor by the hand. My friend Libby followed. We knelt outside on the sidewalk and I repeated a prayer after my counselor. I don't really know that it would've mattered the words I said because God knew what was in my heart. I got saved that night and haven't been the same since! He put a wonderful peace in my heart that nothing else in the world can ever replace. I thank Him for that sweet moment of salvation and pray that I can be an example along the way for those I meet. You know, you're never too old or too young really to be saved. If you feel God speaking to your heart right now, just bow your head, close your eyes, and ask Him to come inside your heart and make you clean and pure and holy and be your Savior. It's that simple. Then YOU can have that wonderful peace that passes ALL understanding!
