YAY! My precious kitten had her babies very, very early this morning. The first was born just before midnight and the next five came into the world within 2-3 hours after that.
Here they are, numbered in the order they were born. Baby #1, a girl, has already been claimed and named Ticky (inside joke). Baby #6, a boy, was the loudest so I named him Foghorn, to be affectionately known as Foggy.
The other four, however, remain nameless. That's where you come in. :O)
Comment here (on the blogspot end of this post, not the Goodreads or facebook feed of it) with the name you'd like to bestow upon one of these little darlings. Be creative! With names like Stinkerbell (the momma), Ticky, and Foghorn, the others will need something just as clever (weird?) to retain their dignity amongst their peers.
If you have any questions about the contest (or the kittens), please ask. You may enter as many times as you want, each entry being a separate {unique} name. The most creative name will be selected and announced August 15 (the judges being my husband, my brother, my two children, and me) and that name will be given to one of the kittens. This contest is open to all!
As a bonus, we'll select our six favorite names. The commenters who submitted those names will each receive a coupon to download my newest Regency romance (
Honor) for free from
Smashwords.com. (What? You didn't think I'd pass up an opportunity to pimp my new book, did you?)
So, to sum up the rules:
- Make sure you follow this blog, it's only fair. You have options: email list, Google Friend Connect, Networked Blogs, and/or "Subscribe to..." Just please make sure you're doing at least one of these things.
- Comment here with a name, not on the Goodreads or facebook feed, but here on blogspot.
- Include your email, so I can easily contact you if you win.
- Multiple, unique entries are allowed. Please don't submit 20 names that only vary slightly from one another.
- Open to all, regardless of where you live.
- Deadline: midnight (eastern time), August 14; winners announced August 15.
- I reserve the right to ignore any entry that is inappropriate (no dirty words or swears), common (please no Fluffy's or Spot's), or redundant (make sure you're not using someone else's entry). Thank you!
I think that covers everything. Any questions? If not, let the baby naming begin!!
Edited at 11:38PM to add:
It was brought to my attention that I failed to mention the genders of the babies. The only females are babies #1 and #5. I hope that helps. (Thank you, Kandy, for asking!)
And here's a video I just recorded, about a half hour before editing this post (please be patient as it loads):
Thank you, Rachel, for the idea. :O)
