C.C. Jazz is the name our rescued and most amazingly communicative classic tabby. Beth, my wife who has never named any of our many animal residents though the years, was asked to name him. She aptly arrived at “Jazz”, it was purrrrfect – I added Cool Cat Jaaazzzzz and it just flowed purrrrrfectly. He has bowls in our kitchen and our bedroom with a custom designed sign above,(I would love to share,I don’t know how to attach it here), that reads Cool Cat Jazz.

When i heard of your new additions name – I just had to share – It is purrrrfect!

So inspired hearing you’ve adopted your new Jasmine…sorry Newman isn’t being a good sport…but it does take time, as you well know!

Anyway, congrats and though it’s like having a baby to train once again, I’m sure you and Lois are up to the call!

Bless you for forever caring…

Warm Regards,

I have been following your orange cat story with interest because we have a feral cat voluntarily integrating into our family(two other cats). In the last three months thing have changed from a extremely spooky cat to where the cat eats inside four times a day and lets us pet her when feeding occurs. Sweety is now hanging around the yard and will sometimes let us pet her outside. We don’t make her stay in at night with the other cats but that will probably change with the rains. I think we are on the road to a new member of the family like you. Jan

WOW! Jasmine is a perfect name! And I can’t believe I won the contest!! I am sooo excited to have won and to be receiving a set of your books Gary! I completely forgot that today was the day that you were announcing the name and the winner. I couldn’t find the paper this am when I went to look for it (husband off today & he got to it 1st!) so I hadn’t read your column today. Earlier this evening I got a phone call from my niece, Haley, and she started telling me about seeing my name in the paper for winning a contest. I was still clueless so I kept questioning her about what paper, what contest, when, etc. Finally she told me that I had won the “Name the Kitty Contest”! I screamed with disbelief! I just couldn’t believe that I had forgotten that today was the “day” and that I had won out of ALL of those entries! And the next call was my mother-in-law, Toni, calling to congratulate me too!!

Thank you for choosing the name “Jasmine”. It sounds like the name was meant to be! And I am truly overjoyed to be the winner and recipient of your autographed books!

Jazz is a great name for the little orange angel. She is a very lucky cat to have found you!

Mary:
We did first spot her in our backyard tomato patch and Roma was a great name, along with many other tomato-type names.. But during the ensuing weeks while I was feeding her and trying to tame her down, she hid in a lotof spots. We have a large jasmine plant draped around our back deck, down to the ground, and the kitten often ran and hid in the middle of the jasmine when frightened. It seemed to fit. She’s definitely a Jasmine, with a nickname of Jazz, which she’s full of. Thanks for entering. So many beautiful names. We had to pick something. /Gary

Jasmine is such a beautiful kitty, but I could
have sworn you said you found her in your
tomato patch? Hence the name I entered was Roma!!

Best Regards
