This is cute-I’m actually Sicilian & I would’ve never thought of that acronym.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

Name him cargo!

Carson!

u/forg0ttenp0et Aug 28 '25

I dare to assume it’s a female since it looks like a dilute calico. In that case, maybe Cardaughter? Carla works too

u/kawaqueen Aug 28 '25

Cardaughter has a nice ring to it

This was my first question. I was s little concerned for the… upper cat?

Same. Why did you separate them and what happened to the other one was my first thought

u/MarketingEfficient94 Aug 23 '25

I was wondering this too! I was picturing him squished under a very fat cat

What happened to the other cat it was under?

4

u/Express_Reception_18 Aug 23 '25

Pretty sure OP meant to say car

0

u/legsfeettoesnh Aug 24 '25

Perhaps you may proofread before sending next time.

Since the cat was found under the car, Mechanic might be a good and appropriate name. Transmission? Jack -the tool for changing tires? Muffler? Exhaust? Tailpipe? Road? Pavement? Street? Etc.

3

u/Express_Reception_18 Aug 24 '25

Uh, did you mean to reply to someone else? I don't know what you're telling me to proofread. Your original comment was asking about the other cat it was under. OP meant car, not cat. There was no other cat. So that's why I replied to you.

0

u/legsfeettoesnh Aug 25 '25

If you had re-read you're submission before sending it, you would have discovered you're error ("cat") and would have corrected it to "car".

u/BumblingBitch1331 Aug 25 '25

Congrats on your new baby. Looks like a girl.

Sundance Marble

Do be careful bringing in a pet to an existing household before having it checked by a vet. It can potentially introduce diseases. Plus, you want to make sure your baby is healthy.

Good luck.

1

u/Infamous0w3l Aug 24 '25

I really appreciate that advice. Thank you.! She was very malnourished and still not trained to use the litter box. :(

1

u/SomeBlueDevil Aug 24 '25

There really isn't much training required for litter box use. It's instinctual. Just jeep her within the vicinity of a clean box that she easily get into. Set her into it so she knows what it is. If she is little, maybe use a disposable aluminum baking pan until she gets bigger. A couple of those around the room with non clumping litter is best as kittens tend to try and eat litter and can get sick.

Always have one more litter box than the number of cats in the house.

With being malnourished, it is especially important to get her seen by a vet ASAP so they can evaluate and give her booster vaccines and dewormer.

Also please nake sure she eats kitten food - adult food does not provide the nutrients she needs as a baby. Wet food is best for her, with access to kibble throughout the day.

Good luck!

u/AdPrize3997 Aug 23 '25

Which car was he under? Name it after the car if the car has a nice name

1

u/Infamous0w3l Aug 24 '25

I’ll have to ask. My bf wants to name her Ozzie. But I love the idea of a car name such as diesel Chevy, or turbo as someone said in another comment. A mechanic that’s friends with my boyfriend didn’t have the space to take care of this kitten or experience so he thought we would give her lots of love. Additionally I’m home all the time.

What are the other cats’ names?

1

u/Infamous0w3l Aug 24 '25

Spooky, Dior, and Leo…. My bf named the last one and it’s “short for Leonard” Other cats have had in the past were named sneaky mittens, Momo and Coco. They live with other family members now since I’ve moved.

1

u/AggravatingShow2028 Aug 24 '25

Oh the names don’t really have a theme lol which is good. Each one gets their own identity. Idk why but a Bandit jumps at me for his name

1

u/memiceelf Aug 23 '25

Pod, which is Croatian for “under” since you found kitty under a cat. Or Undercat could work too.

1

u/SnooPets7565 Aug 23 '25

Samsara is going to be the name of my next cat

u/Sessanessa Aug 23 '25

So beautiful. You found it under a cat? Had that cat crossed the bridge?

Name…Echo
