Dec. 8th, 2015 11:03 amThe New Kittenz continue unnamed, but the Cat Name List has been winnowed down from 75 pairs to nine. We are making progress! Next we'll each rank the remaining pairs and see if a clear winner emerges.
It is somewhat amusing that we didn't think of Jake/Elwood until the day we were paring down the list. Somehow, despite starting this process with thoughts of gangsters (our other cats are named Butch and Sundance), and of black suits and tuxedos (for obvious reasons when you are looking at nearly-identical black kittens with white bowties and cummerbunds), none of us thought of that pair of men in black suits with criminal connections until the very last minute. We were all facepalming ourselves.
The kittens are actually striped under all that black--if you get them in the right light you can see stripes on their legs and bellies--and their undercoats are pale grey or white.
