Today's photo + cat naming challenge

Today's prompt for the Yuletide Cheer Photo Chaos Challenge is "Mom, this box is meowing." Let's see those Christmas kitties!

I think everyone knows I have a lot of 1:9 scale cats.
I have so many 1:9 scale cats.
Last year, I took them all to Heather Malone's Candyland Live show for the Josie and the Pussycats class.
That was really fun.
A few had names.
Or titles. Whatever.
Most, however, did not. So I crowd sourced.
The results were... memorable.
Ha!
I wrote a post about this, and a lot of people said they wish they had been there to help me name the kitties.
Being the generous friend that I am, I went out and bought a whole new batch of cats.
They arrived at the end of December, which is when Olive died.
So that is a post that never got written... until now!
In an effort to make this photo challenge a little more chaotic, let's play a game of Name the Kitties.
Remember, the standards are IRS Tax Write Off, Listerine, London Bridge and Loafy.
Name one cat or name them all, but be sure to put your names in the comments section of this post.
Also, be sure to include your name.
Whoever makes me laugh the most will get their own pack of cats.
The winners will be chosen The cats will be named on Christmas day. Meowy Christmas everyone!

  12. Kitties always look sweet & innocent - even when they're being naughty. Years ago, my husband I got a pair of kittens & they were really good at breaking & tearing up my stuff - never his! So I called them the Destructo-Kitties. I think one your of your cats should be named Destructo-Kitty! We also had a cat named Tempest who though he was on of the dogs.

    - Lellow on their Fur
    - Rainbow Tractor
    - Baleegbdna Bad Cat
    - Bellhop

    - Another Plate

    And then several variations on our cat's name (Miriel):
    - Miriel the big giant cat
    - Cat Tree Miriel
