Ok, How do I get one?!?It's very simple! (Can you tell I like exclamation points?)
Fill out this very simple form and post it here! The winners will be picked at the end of the week!
First, some rules.
To begin with, we're looking for people with little to no Cats through the GHS/AHS (you can have any number of dogs, but if you have more than 4 cats, you can't participate)
We're gonna ask you a few things, the first of which is a name. But NOT the name for one of the three kitties up for grabs. Imbri is stuck on her kitty and needs help naming her!
So. Pick out a name you think is suitable for the Tan kitty in "The Siblings" section (the one on the left). The top three names will get their choice of which kitty and she might even use the name! Please keep in mind it is a SHE.
Next, if you wish to include a reason, you may. And finally an RP prompt
We also have some extra little silliness that won't be used as the main deciding factor, but will help us if we're stuck on several (and I'm sure we will be!)
RP Prompt:
From the kitties point of view, please!
Having always eaten mice and birds like Shade, Elinor has just taken you to the back of her favorite Japanese resturant to beg for scraps where the Sushi Chef is a big softie for Elinor. He has given you a dish of milk and a bowl of eel and octopus scraps (Elinor's favorite!). How do you react?? [b]Holy Cow, a MOUSE!![/b]
[size=10]
[b]I would call her:[/b](Name)
[b]Because:[/b] (Optional)
[b]RP Prompt Answer:[/b]
[b]Silly doodle/sketchie Elinor pouncing Shade's head:[/b] (Talent will not be judged, we just want to see something funny!)[/size]

Holy Cow, a MOUSE!! ooo pretty! WAIT! does it have rabies?
I would call her:
(Eta)
Because:
(She looks like a little indian with the little spots on her fore head. So ive decided to find a name that suits her. Eta means luminous in Indian cause she just pops out. Her arms are a luminous color and its beautiful.)
RP Prompt Answer:
As I looked slowly at Elinor walking over to a sushi place. She was firghtened cause she does not enjoy the alley. The dark street lights shining in my face. I was as frightened as i have ever been. I felt like i was gonna faint and out of nowhere ive seen a ghost for some reason. As i spotted the man walk out I slid behind Elinor frightened as i could ever be. As i saw some food come out i thought eeew. Im used to birds and yummy mice. When i saw it i didnt know to either try it or walk away. I guess i had to make my decision now.

Holy Cow, a MOUSE!!
I would call her: Akemi
Because: Means bright and beautiful! I think she deserves a name that means beautiful or pretty because she's gorgeous. :3
RP Prompt Answer: The little kitten trotted behind her mother quickly, trying not to run into her as she peered about the area. Excitement filled her tiny body as they slipped through the alley way to the back of an average size building. New scents surrounded her as they entered the area and the little kitten quickly hopped on top of a small crate to get a better look at what was going on. Before she had a chance to do anything, a burly man stepped out of a doorway, placing two dishes beside her mother. He then turned to her, and she glared, hissing and batting at the large, human's hand as it came toward her quickly. It withdrew as her paw connected with skin and the man chuckled, leaving her and her mother in peace.
Feeling safe once again, the kitten jumped down to investigate, what was this stuff with this new, delightful, scent. Contrary to popular belief, things didn't always taste as good as they smelled, she'd learned this days before when trying to take a bite out of something out of some chained dog's food dish. Vile stuff it was. Then again... curiosity killed the cat, and curiosity was something she was full of! Eyeing the new food warily, she took a bite of the slimy looking stuff in the bowl and... it wasn't that bad actually. A little salty, definitely different from mice but... nothing horrible. The other bowl contained the most delicious liquid she'd ever come across, nothing in this world was quite like this creamy white liquid in the bowl. She'd hit the jackpot, the sweet smelling liquid was definitely her new favourite.
Taking a step back, she smiled at her mother and mewed softly. Trying new things wasn't so bad... and perhaps her nose didn't always lead her to vile food not worth mentioning. But... the moral of today's story was... you can't knock it until you try it! If you do, you're worse than the cats they named fraidy!

Holy Cow, a MOUSE!!
I would call her:Illumina. Aka, Lumi, or Mina.
Because: As the others have said - she is bright. The Light illuminating the darkness.
RP Prompt Answer: I wasn't sure what this stuff was that the human gave me. I looked over to momma, who seemed to be enjoying it
She wasn't sure what this stuff was that the human had sat down before her. She looked over to her mother, who seemed to be enjoying it well enough, then back at the dish. She sniffed it. It had an interesting scent. Kind of nasty, and yet, kinda good. So nasty-good that you just wanted to keep sniffing it. She finally decided to try it, and so she began to lick it. Soon enough the squishy meat was being gnawed on happily. Her loud purr alone was enough to show that she quite enjoyed this little treat.
But soon it was gone. She gave a large yawn, and ambled over to her mother, and rubbed against her. It was time for a bath and a nap. What better to do after a tasty meal?

Holy Cow, a MOUSE!!
I would call her: Misa or Elu
Because: Both are short and sweet. Misa is beautiful bloom in Japanese, and Elu is beautiful in Native American and so, I'm saying you have a beautiful kitten! 8D
RP Prompt Answer: Small eyes searched the Sushi Chef's face for any sign of teasing, but saw none. The kitten glanced to her mother, but there was only an expectant look. Even this tiny kitten's heart there was a desire to please her mother, so not wanting to disappoint, she screwed up her face and sniffed the food. The milk had a sweet, creamy smell and instantly was in heaven. An baby sounding, eager mew broke the uncomfortable silence as the kitten dove for the milk. It splashed into her face, but she didn't care, it was delicious!
After finishing up the last few drops, the young kitten looked happily at her mother, who, in turn, smiled happily back. With a paw the kitten's mother, invited the child to taste her favorite dish; eel and octopus. A mew of utter dispare sounded, the kitten had forgotten all about the raw fish. Crawling slowly to the plate, with the Sushi Chef and her mother watching critically, the kitten wished she had left some milk to help swallow the nasty, disgusting fish. Making a face, she stuck out her tongue and licked the fish. At first touch all the kitten felt was the strange texture, and quickly sucked in her tongue, backing away. Not realizing how close her mother was standing behind her, she backed up into her. The kitten hung her head shamefully, and walked back to the fish. She took a nibble, eating it daintily. Then another, and soon another. What do you know, it was wonderful!
Soon, the plate was also licked clean. The young kitten looked up contentedly at her mother and the chef and burped, her eyes beginning to close after all the food she was full and sleepy. "tank yew, momma." she said with a yawn. "can i haff more tom-tomorrow?" But, before she heard the answer she was fast asleep. :3

Holy Cow, a MOUSE!!
I would call her: Tien or Parisa (aka Pari)
Because: They both mean angelic; like a fairy. I think the little one is so small she reminds me of a fairy. >.< And if she has a sweet personality it would work with her, or if she has a mean one, it'd be funny to have an oxymoron name. XP
RP Prompt Answer:
Zamir pranced right behind his father happily. He was a daddy's boy and everyone knew it. He hummed happily to himself as he stayed right by his father. All Zamir knew was that they were going to try something different, which he looked forward to, especially if dad liked it so much. His tail flicked behind him happily as he looked around for what they were trying for the first time today. Finally the place where they were going to appeared in sight and their father pointed it out to them.
After a bit of begging, the chef finally brought out their food. Zamir jumped up to see what it was, but quickly turned a slight shade of green. "What is that?!" He called out, poking at the food when the chef was gone. "My favorite." Shade said, and Zamir gave it a disgusted look. Eel and octopus... yuck. Zamir decided to sit this one out. For once, he wasn't like daddy, which bothered him. He'd stick to the milk tonight.
As he watched the others eat the food and not die, Zamir grew closer and closer to the food. Before it was all gone, he grabbed a bit of the eel and a bit of the octopus and ran off a little bit. He sat down and took a bite. After a moment of chewing, his eyes lit up and he ran back for more. This had become his favorite food, just like his daddy.

Holy Cow, a MOUSE!!
I would call her: Bindi
Because: The six dot-markings above her eyes remind me of the Bindi Indian women wear. :3
RP Prompt Answer: I looked at the dish set before me, then back at momma. Elinor was already digging into her eel and octopus, and I could tell by the look upon her face she was enjoying every bite of it. I had to admit - I'd already tried the white liquid they called 'milk' and it was pretty delicious, but... the octopus and eel scraps didn't smell too appetizing. That was when momma noticed I wasn't eating, and smiled encouraginly at me before licking the sides of the bowl the octopus and eel had previously occupied.
Grimacing, I decided it was now or never. I plunged my head into the bowl, and gingerly picked up a piece of octopus. I then lifted my head and gulped it down, ignoring the weird feeling of it sliding down my throat. That was when I realized - it was good! I immediately looked over to mom, and she was smiling, just as I was. She could tell I had enjoyed the bite I just had, and she was happy.
Plunging my head back into the bowl, I finished off the eel and octopus scraps, as well as the saucer of milk. It was all so good - something I really didn't expect. And I was happy as Elinor and I trotted off to find dad and the others. My tummy was full, and I was with my mom. What more could I want?

Holy Cow, a MOUSE!!
I would call her: Fawn
Because: Her markings on her feet, head, and tail remind me of an adorable little fawn.
RP Prompt Answer: Following the light pelt of my mother into the darkness of the alley wasn't the most comforting thing. I would have stayed with my father and littermates, but my mother promised a delicious meal unlike any other. So, me and my curious self, followed her into a dark alley behind a resturant, as my mother calls it.
I can smell something ahead. It smells like the fish I've seen at the park we sometimes visit. My parents say that fish are very delicious. Maybe that's what we're going to eat tonight!
My mother sits down in the light of the door to the resturant and meows a few times. I chime in as well, although my mew is quiet and a little shaky. A large man with white on appears, a big smile on his face. "Well hello my dear kitty!" He exclaims. "Who have you brought with you tonight?" He comes closer, and leans down in front of me.
I mew in suprise and scurry behind my mother. The man laughs and goes back inside. "It's alright young one. He won't harm you. He's a very kind man." My mother meows comfortingly to me.
I nod softly before moving and then sitting next to her. The man comes back out a few minutes later with two round objects. Both have delicious smells coming from them. "Here you are kitties. Enjoy!" He laughs softly before setting the objects down. He then goes back into the building.
My mother meows quickly before leading my to the objects resting on the ground. One is a pale white color. She explains that the liquid is called milk and that it's heavenly. I lap up some of the 'milk' and shiver as the cold liquid seeps through my body. I continue to lap up some more, savoring the taste. My mother then explains that the other round object has bits of her favorite foods, eel and octopus. She explains about the fish creatures before urging me to try some. I take a bit and c**k my head. The fish was chewy and had a wierd taste to it, but not a bad one. I try another and learn that I enjoy the octupus more than the eel.
Soon, though, we had to leave. I asked mother if we could come back. She laughed at my eager tone and said she'd bring me back soon. Once we're home, I curl up next to my littermates and soon fall asleep dreaming of eel, octopus, and milk.

Holy Cow, a MOUSE!!
I would call her: Bubble Mango
Because: The name 'Bubble Mango' suits her well, in my opinion, because the orange markings on her remind me of a mango and the circular markings remind me of bubbles.
RP Prompt Answer: Glancing around and waiting for the father, the kit could only wonder what were they going to eat today? Would it be mouse again or the harder to catch bird? Pondering this thought, the kit could see a shadow in the distance. But of course it could not have been father. This cat did not smell like father. The cat in the shadows showed herself to show the kit that it was her, the mother.
"Mommy, where is Daddy?" The kit asked, rushing up to her and nuzzling her chin.
Elinor nuzzled her kit's head and responded to the question, "He and I talked the other day about what you have been eating. Mice and Birds are everywhere, so I suggested why not have the kits try something a bit more... exotic. He agreed and so here I am."
The kit gave a nod as approval to their descision. It was fun trying new things, especially food.
"Let's go," said Elinor as she started to pad towards her favorite place to eat.
Elinor's kit then hurried after her as they set off. Trotting along now, the kit started to get a bit jumpy as a thought came along: What was this new food? What did it taste like? Where are are we going?
Soon they arrived at a strange place, in which the kit had never imagined existed! They careened into an alley and soon Elinor had planted herself infront of a door that soon opened. Being shy and all, the kit stayed back as a man set a plate on the ground. He then went back inside, which was the kit's cue to near the plate and its strange offerings.
Elinor nudged an eel and a bit of octopus towards her kit, "Eat up!"
The kit sniffed the food that was offered. At first it smelled so good but after the third sniff, the aroma of this dish almost made the kit pass-out. The kit took a step back. But then the kit summoned up the courage to try it. It tasted bad, very bad.
"It's okay," Elinor said as she noticed her kit's face. "Not everybody likes it and it is okay for you to have your own opinion. With that said, Elinor went back to finishing off her food.
Approving of what Elinor said, the kit sat back and watched, wishing the weird taste would go away, "I think I will stick to mice and birds..."
