Still needing the perfect name...

[tanessa]

I finally decided to be the photographer that I am and take some nice shots of my boy Let me know what it is that you think now!? :-D You can finally see his amazing-ness with the use of my professional camera pointed at him, rather than my quickie cell phone shots! ;-) View attachment 4107 View attachment 4108 View attachment 4109 View attachment 4113 View attachment 4115 PS. Rare, but nice shot, with his tail up... usually he has it downward and wagging wildly.

This is the kitten you were given and not sure if he is Savannah or not? Much better pics but to me I don't see too many Savannah traits. His face is short and rounded and ears are small...his body type looks to be developing to be fairly sturdy also although the leg length isn't bad right now...and lovely dark contrast to his pattern. He's definitely a cutie and obviously very personable though

In terms of a name, what theme or meaning are you thinking? I like kitty names with stories behind them, how they got the name or what the names mean in another language etc.

He is pretty long and lean. Maybe you just can not see it in the pictures. I like names with meaning behind them as well. He was given to me for getting through a difficult time in life recently..

I've found some really cool names on African baby name sites... maybe there is one with the right meaning for your kitten? http://www.namesite.com/names/male is one of my favorites, I just scroll through for hours and the right one tends to just jump out at me. My Coco's name is Akoko Yewande, Akoko means "noisemaker" and she makes the funniest sounds since she was a baby, and Yewande means "the mother has returned" which was meaningful for me as her mother Katie had been missing for two weeks while pregnant with that litter (it was awful but we got her back).

I remember when I first started showing Savannahs that one of the breeders was telling the judge how the Savannah's hind legs should sit higher than the front legs...and the judge laughed and said show me a cat that doesn't...all cats should have longer back legs. So it's not a breed trait...much as I have seen it on some websites.

Bottom line is, he might be Savannah although unlikely to be early generation. If you looked at a lot of websites you might indeed see a kitten that looks similar. But I suspect more likely he is a mix with Bengal in there somewhere or domestic shorthair. You can decide. What is important is that he has come into your life at the right time, and he is an amazing companion

Apparently he has Maine Coon (sp) mixed with his .... that is what my friends who got him for me told me

Just a thought but things that help with rough times are pretty special whatever they are ..how about a name that relates to helping ..like Chance or Serenity or Helper or Rescue..
