Geo?Clove sounds like a good name for her if you're going with "C" names or nature. Maybe Carrot? Or Cola if you want something more fun sounding.

I think some of the older generation doesn’t love cats—I’m connected with an animal rescue group here and there’s sadly a lot of instances of street cats being purposely poisoned or having their shelters kicked down—but for the most part cats and (small) dogs are pretty well loved here!I didn't realize korean people liked cats lo
I can’t decide if I want to eat curry or drink cocoa now!!You could name her Cornbread to go with Chili
For real though, some suggestions:
Celeste
Cocoa or CoCo
Caramel
Curry, Cumin
Cookie
Coffee
I might or might not be hungry
Got it thanksScroll up, she posted three of her looking super cute
The pica possibility crossed my mind, too.While both kittens are absolutely adorable, kitten #1 seems to be in a not ideal home situation and may possibly have pica.
I know, I feel this too. And she lives with 5 other siblings (who apparently all have the same problem of eating everything). :/ The kittens are all well socialized and adorable, so I think they will find homes despite their mischievousness and potential health issues, but I really wish I could’ve taken her too. Or I wish I had extra money to donate towards their vaccinations at least.I know I'm way late to the party and the decision has already been made, but I can't stop worrying about kitten#1.
While both kittens are absolutely adorable, kitten #1 seems to be in a not ideal home situation and may possibly have pica. It needs someone who will love and care for it accordingly. I mean, it hasn't even been vaccinated? That means it's not even getting basic care.
I just worry for the little sprite. She seems like she needs to be rescued. Then again, I'm the one who always falls for the one cowering in the corner of the cage. The one nobody else wants. I guess I always go for the underdog. It's amazing what a little love can do for a "wild child".
There's nothing wrong with kitten #2. She's what you need right now. It's ok to look out for yourself.I know, I feel this too. And she lives with 5 other siblings (who apparently all have the same problem of eating everything). :/ The kittens are all well socialized and adorable, so I think they will find homes despite their mischievousness and potential health issues, but I really wish I could’ve taken her too. Or I wish I had extra money to donate towards their vaccinations at least.
I totally feel you, I also always tend to go for the shy underdog that no one wants (example A: my beloved Chai!), but after all I just went through emotionally and financially with losing Chai I think I have to put health as a priority. Kitten #1 is certainly not shy or undesirable at all—she’s gorgeous, friendly, AND a little spitfire!—so I really do hope she can get a good home too. Ideally with some of her siblings.
Here are some you might want to consider:I’ve decided to go with the second kitten. I’m trying to just stick with my gut feeling that getting a kitten is the right thing for me right now, and focus on the excitement and energy of bringing her home soon rather than all the what-ifs... even though I’ve had a few friends tell me disapprovingly that they think it’s too soon and rushed (and other friends and all my family telling me to stop agonizing and just go for it, so definitely some mixed messages there!).
I really appreciate the replies of everyone on this thread. Thank you so much for sharing your stories and advice. You all are so wonderful and caring.
The (nameless as of yet) kitten is sure a cutiepie! I thought of calling her Clove to stick with the “C” names and as a sort of homage to Chai, but we’ll have to see what suits her personality. Any suggestions do send them along! I like one- or two-syllable names, food names, nature names, movie/game/book character names...
No matter what I think she will be a lovely little Christmas present for me and Chilli. Chilli might not agree just yet
First photo taken about 2 weeks ago and the second two are from when she was a baby. She’s already growing up fast! Her mom was a feral street cat, but thankfully this baby and her brother were taken inside with mom to be raised in a warm safe home.

SO beautiful. Thank you for sharing that.I said I'd never have another cat after best kitty friend Delia passed Dec 29th 2014.
I was looking at rescue sites two weeks later*.
And on January 29th 2015, one month to the day of her dying, I adopted the first of my current 3.
*A friend shared a poem with me, which inspired me to look for a new kitty to help. Not a replacement, but a way to keep that love alive by passing it along.
I took the poem and put it over this pic of my Delia. I'd really love to get it printed and framed someday.
