Names

So, our kitten went through a good number of names and like my friend "In a Garden (WA)" I hope she doesn't end up with a complex. She started out as Dee, meaning dark and loving, then she was Peanut, then she was Gem. But thanks to my Mom's list of names in response to my last blog, we have a final name! Gemma, meaning precious stone, an Italian name. We both like the name and the kitten is already responding to it. No, again this is not a picture of her.
A kitten! Sheeesh! They are cute, just intelligent enough, and fun. But boy are they a nuisance at night! Our first night with her we didn't sleep, she was in a new place with no other kittens answering her calls. So she called out the entire night! We finally couldn't take it anymore and shut her in the bathroom (with the toilet lid down of course). Next night we had a pop out pet carrier that we closed her in. She meowed all night again but we didn't have to worry about her jumping on us or getting into any cords. We turned the air conditioner on high and had a good night sleep. Ahhhhh.
Today we've done nothing but torture her. We've been doing all we can to keep her awake so that by tonight she will be too exhausted to stay awake and cry. Tough job with a nocturnal animal.
