So we got a kitten. Kaiya has been kitten-obsessed since she was about 3 months old. Andy so badly wanted Kaiya to experience raising a kitten since Cleo was already a big cat when Kaiya was born. I listed off names that would be cute and creative for an orange cat and my kids picked "Trick or Treat". I was trying to stay within our Star Wars pet name theme. When we adopted our other black dog her name was already "Camie" and just as soon as I was planning on changing her name to "Padme" I found out that in some deleted scenes from A New Hope, Luke actually goes to meet his friends at the Toshie station (read this with a whiney voice) and one of those friends is a girl named "Camie". Great! That works! So I thought of naming the kitten"Chewie" but we all agreed very quickly we couldn't name the cat that since the new kid across the street has "Chewie" as his nickname. It's cool....it's common around our house to find Trooper, Chewie and Vader playing outside.
Anyway, upon further creative thinking of orange Star Wars names I came up with "3PO" and "Rogue 2" (think orange space jumpers). Too bad the kids didn't like "Rogue 2" cuz Andy and I really dig that one. We secretly call her that when the kids aren't looking.
But "Trick or Treat" is cool as far as names go too and it is very fitting to this litle kitten because once minute she gives you a sweet treat by purring loudly in your arms and the next minute she's pulling her tricks and taking a flying, all-claws splayed leap at your leg.
