I hear that you are a crazy Katley best.

I love cats, cat Asket, Two Girls, three Cats, gratulations you've begun your transformation into crazy Catley.

Hello. This is two Girls, three Cats with me, Sammy and Me and in the studio today. We are very excited to welcome a very special guest.

Very very special me, Scarlot.

So Scarlet is. She's here because a bit of a background story. Scarlet actually is desperate to get a cat, and we've been discussing where she's up to with getting her dad to get her a cat. So Scarlet is.

Twelve, I'm totally twelve, and in existence she is.

She is, well said, she is in exists. I love that Scarlett has such a great way of thinking. I know she is a perfect person to be a cat person candidate.

I love it. That's the perfect explanation. Yeah, of Scarlet, that's adorable. Oh that I love you too.

Oh.

We are so happy to have you on our podcast.

And especially knowing that you're a fellow cat lever as well.

Now, on the weekend, I saw that you went to a cat cafe.

I did, I did?

Actually, Please, we need to know more.

I like the way you've been calling the cats in the cat Cafe your children ever since.

Oh yeah, yeah. So basically these cats are like little kittens getting to know people. I don't think they have names, and they basically just get to know people and live in this amazing cat life.

This amazing cat life. That would have been a good name for this podcast, This Amazing cat Life. Okay, so how far along are we in getting your dad to agree to get you a cat.

I've actually made some very decent process.

Oh yes, yes, please, In the.

Last few weeks, I've got my dad to agree to get in a cat. If my mom does, I'll take it between my dad's house and my mom's house and accustom it to travel as a little kitten.

Yep.

And this is so because my dad doesn't want to have a cat full time.

Okay, yeah, but the change, yeah, you never know. I mean, we've seen other dads become obsessed with their dogs and their cats. So I feel like your dad is going to fall in love with his cat.

But I also feel like if when you're at your mom's you're going to miss your cat. If you live it at your.

Dad, I'll definitely want to take it between houses. Yeah, no doubt about that.

Yeah, and like you said, it'll become accustomed to moving between both places.

So especially if you get it as a little kitten exactly.

And I think that that's a really nice life for a cat as well, because they get to explore different houses.

Yeah, and it's kind of a routine because cats love routine, and this routine of going between both houses it's exciting.

I think it's so exciting it won't like moll up everything, which because it's just moving between houses constantly exactly, exactly, re exploring stuff when we move it around and it doesn't know that. And yeah, I think this is.

A brilliant idea for you, me too. And you have to get a cat turin stuff.

Like that, Oh yeah, obviously you've got to get it. Yeah. Yeah, and like one of those little cat bags with the windows in the back.

Oh yeah, to get one of them.

We'll definitely have to if you're commuting the cat between the two houses. You've thought this through.

Yeah, I'm impressed.

So Scarlet or Moonbeam, as I normally call you, can I call you Moonbeam, your little Moonbeam? We do like pet names, and so I was thinking, what are we going to call your cat like it's we. It's a group's car.

Yeah. Like I said to you last week, we involved in the naming of the cat.

You're involved.

Yeah, we've printed out some cat names and we wanted to run some names by you. Okay, so we've got them here in the studio, Jenna, do you want to run off some of your favorite names or some that jump out on that list?

Yes?

Absolutely, the first one that I've seen that I love. Clementine. That's that is a hum.

Clear. I feel like a work well for like lighter colored cats as well, exactly like not like like gray, but like.

Like, yeah, I can picture of Clementine, Yeah I can definitely.

Yeah, yeah, like a blonde cat.

Yes, yeah, yes, like I wouldn't call Connie Clementine. She's not a Clementine, She's a Conny. But you know she's a Connie.

You say that like it's very generalized.

Yes, well, I mean it is. She's Connie and I just love that name.

So I can notice on this list that first it's like pretty common pet cat names, and yeah.

You don't really want to go too common, you know with Luna and all that every cat's name.

Luna, although we do love the name.

Yeah, it's a beautiful name. It's just over used a lot.

Yeah.

Yeah, and it's not the right cat. It's not a cat.

We don't think your cat's going to be a luna. Okay, all right? What stands out to you on that first page of that list?

On the first page, well, I can see that like it sort of runs off into food after the popular name, so whiskey actually stands out.

I think whiskey is a great name for a cat.

I think like an old ginger cat.

Yes, that's exactly what I was picturing, an.

Old rescue Yeah, ginger. He's got a bit of personality's a little.

Bit a little mustache.

I love whiskey.

Spiky fer yes, yes, okay.

One that stood out for me Pickle, Pickle, Pickle. That's a cute name.

Cute nickname. Yes, that's nickname.

You could call me pole, I'll call you moonbeam, you call me pickle.

I don't know why you want to be called pickle, but why not?

It was cute. And then we could call Jenna waffle, which is next on the list.

Bring it on.

I love what was a cute name for a cat?

It is?

Did you know the mentor of waffles? Didn't like waffles.

She's coming in with all the facts you were bringing it today? Are you going to be a regular?

And you know, guess what, probably the next time I'll be in here, I'll have this little could bring it with you.

Oh my god, Yes.

I really hope I do.

Okay, here's another great name, and these all of the ones that's standing out to me, ones that I'm imagining orange cats, but cheddar Oh that's cute. That is cute, right, it's cute.

So yeah, cheddar cat. I can sort of imagine a bit stiff. That's a great explanation.

Yeah, a bit, a bit, a bit stir, a little bit crumbly.

Violet is another name that I really like.

A beautiful name, Violet, and that goes with scarlet as well. So you like Violet and scarlet or scarlet Violet the perfect Yeah, Jenna, pick another name.

Okay, I actually really like the name Pip. It's just cute, you know, it's just like a pip squeak. Yeah, so cute, like for a little cat.

Yeah, if it was a really small yeah, but I mean even if it's a big cat. Yeah, ironic, yes, exactly.

Like a small little gray stripey cat.

Oh, yes, yes, a grayish cat. I can totally see.

That little pit with like green eyes.

Yes, yes, green eyes Connie eyes.

Looks like Connie, but like but like more colours mix.

Yes, like more grayish incorporated and kind of a shorter fur as well. Specific Yes, I can't wait until you get your cat and we compare it to all this.

Also maple, that's.

A maple maples. Again, that would be an orange cat.

I can totally see an orange cat.

You have to get a ginger cat, now, do I though? I feel like all signs are pointing towards you're going to get a ginger cat.

You'll know when you see it.

Yeah, you're the cat will choose you. That's the way it always happens. What about cappuccino. That's a lovely sort of brown.

Yeah, cute.

I was Also I had a quick sneak peek at this.

I just had a we told you.

Not to okay, okay.

A quick glimpse. And on that first page I thought that also olive that's ready ready olive and locker locker that's cute. Yeah, those two were like locker I can imagine like a brown and one car.

Yeah.

Yeah, be luxurious, curious, and just like.

A bit of a soft spot.

And on the second page, that is standing second page, we have a lot of namesake.

Can I just say, yeah, there's there's a lot.

When I tried to print this out first time, it was forty six pages each, and I thought, are going to be happy with me, so I had to like cut and paste it to four pages.

It's still not enough. Yeah, okay, second page.

These were all from like TV shows and movies.

Yeah, what about Puss, Puss and Boots.

It's adorable, but I just think it's too like well known as ay, just name your cat.

It's like calling your cat cat.

That's a good name.

Cat. Yeah. I read this book a while ago where someone named the cat dragon. It's adorable. Oh that is like a rumpy ginger.

Cat amazing as well.

Yeahs yeah, I mean it is cute.

So I'm saying, like butter cup, cute, beautiful butter cup.

But a cup, but butter butter, butter butter.

But if you start singing that, I will.

I'm not doing this podcast again.

I will make mouth noises into the.

All right, what about cats Zilla.

Cat Zilla? Hmmm, it's just a bit like long and wordy.

Yeah, it's too wordy.

Yeah, it kind of like evil connotations.

Yeah. What about like Gatsby, Yeah, like that gats Bey.

Yeah, that's definitely, that's very high brow, that's very I'm very well, Rod.

I can totally see Scarlet with Gatsby.

Yeah, yeah, I can definitely, like, that's definitely going on my list.

But then you're going to have to read the book. Have you read The Great Gatsby? My guess is not the movie? Okay, there we go. I didn't even make it through the movie, so you're better than Yeah, I didn't even make it through.

What about Salem for a black cat?

Honestly beautiful?

I know? How could I love saying?

Salem is a nice name, even just like a dark orange? Yeah?

Okay, so you're twelve. So if we said the name Salem as a cat to you, do you have any association with that? Do you know who that would be?

I've heard of the Salem Witch.

Trials, okay, but you don't know it as a cat.

No.

Okay, So for mine and Jenna's generation, there is a famous cat in bringing the teenage Witch called Salem.

I've never heard of that.

Excuse me, get out, Get out of this studio.

Get out.

Salem is cool. Get your dad to show you Salem. He's a talking cat. He's awesome, the talking cat.

He's the best, the funniest talking It's god attitude.

When I was like a little kid, I used to dream about being a talking cat.

But I still do.

I still have. I've jumped ahead because one of my all time favorite names for a pet is Coco.

Coco, but it is very common, but it's still cute.

I can sort of imagine like a little white, cream colored cat with like little black feet.

Like like Coco.

So it's very fashion.

Yes, yes, it's.

Like thick fur.

Yeah, oh I like that, but.

Also be like quite not friendly. No, no, they'd be friendly, but like not what's the word.

Like a little bit snobbish?

Yeah?

What do we think of the name blossom? No, I'm kidding. I'm on the next page.

I think, are you what about Midnight?

I like Titan, that's.

Like king of the sea. Yes, yes, so he would be he would have to be a mal and he would be big, like you have to get him. I'm thinking of the carton, the little Mermaids as a cat.

Yeah, cat, just like it's like this sturdy figure like yes.

Because I'm thinking of like this like dark gray cat with like thick fur.

Yes, yes, it's okay.

Like little white patterns, white little speckles on pause. I don't know.

Cute. I love how detailed you are.

This is what manifesting is getting us. Yeah, we're getting those exact details into place so that you will walk into a rescue shelter wherever you're getting get from, and that cat will be that.

Yes, and even at rescue shelters they already have a name. But that doesn't mean that's the name.

You have to keep change it because someone here says, Bowsome, what a great name.

I mean, it's a beautiful name, but like it's your cat's name. I don't want to steal your cat to name.

They can both people Blossom. That could be funny.

It could be fun I could What about Willow.

That's cute Willow, I know, like a little small cat with soft fur that like exploring.

All my god, that's so cute. I just see it in like the wildlife, like just looking you know.

Yeah, I feel like Willow would have long limbs willowy.

Oh yeah, yes.

At the top of the page, we can see like Apollo Apollo.

What about scurvy? What about EMUs? Mom took it to the next We love it.

I can also see like we have banded bandit.

That's a good one, like a little out.

Yeah, it's It's most common with dogs, so I feel like it's a good one for a cat because you wouldn't really hear it a bandit cat.

Yeah, makes more sense to have it as a cat.

Exactly exactly.

What's next? We have let's see Onyx on.

Ex I imagine like a strong cat. Imagine that too, though, isn't Onyx a Pokemon? Is it?

I don't know.

Isn't it the worm or Gemstar?

Yeah.

Imagine you're forced to listen to a lot.

I imagine. Yeah. Yeah, we are constant radio.
