    Mod note: please note that this competition is now closed, as of 9pm on Wednesday 3rd Sept 2014.

    Woohoo!
    If you're not aware of the "Rescued 2 week old kitten" thread, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???!!!! :pac:

    If you've been living with your head in the kitty litter, here's the thread:
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057271029

    Kitten's daddy, damagegt, has generously offered to open up the naming of the little fluffball to the readers of the Animals and Pets forum, and we're going to support the whole thing by throwing a prize into the bargain :)
    Woohooooo!!! :pac:

    So, how does it work?
    This is the Name-The-Kitten Thread, and here iz de roolz.

    1. From this moment on, all nominations for new names for the kitten must be made here... any nominations made elsewhere, or in the main thread itself will not be counted.

    2. The nominated names will be voted for by our readers via the "Thanks" button.
    Please be sparing with your thanks... this is a popularity contest after all!
    If you don't like it, don't thank it.
    If you like it, don't thank it.
    If you LOOOVVVE it, thank it!

    3. All readers can nominate 3 names each. No more.
    Feel free to tell us why you chose the name!

    4. Each reader's nominations must be made in its own post: ONE POST, ONE NOMINATION.
    If you make multiple nominations per post, we will delete the post: remember, people are going to be voting for names, they can't vote for 3 in one post!
    ONE POST, ONE NOMINATION!

    5. If more than one poster comes up with the same name, the first poster who nominated that name will be held to be the nominee for that name.

    6. Be nice!
    Remember this kitten has to live with the name for the rest of his life, as does the OP and his family :D
    And of course, be nice to each other, this is a majorly feelgood story, so let's keep it like that :o

    7. This competition runs until Wednesday 3rd September at 9pm, at which time this thread will be closed.

    8. The most thanked nominated name will, at that point, be declared the WINNER!

    9. Ignorance of these rules will not be held as a defence in any appeals or complaints! If you don't read them, and make a boo-boo, that's your mistake ;)

    So, what's in it for the winner?
    We're going for a 2-part prize, donated by me, like the eejit I am.
    Firstly, the winner of this name-the-kitty competition will have €15 donated to a cat TNR only organisation of their choice.
    And secondly, the winner will have a further €15 donated to the Boards.ie Santa Strike Force in their name.
    For those who aren't familiar with the Santa Strike Force, here's it's very own forum: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=419

    I hope to dog that I've thought of everything, if there are any glaring ommissions, let me know by PM :o

    Okay everyone....


    ENJOY!

    :):D:P:cool::pac::D:p:pac:

    Sue!

    And he said: "Son, this world is rough
    And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
    And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
    So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
    I knew you'd have to get tough or die
    And it's the name that helped to make you strong."

    Also suits the earlier gender ambiguity.

    Scrap or scrappy

    I heard a few posters call him that, and he had a scrap to survive his 1st 3 weeks, but as he gets older he'll be the little scrap that's always up to mischief.

    As this is the best success story for sometime I think the little fella should be called Rathuil which is the Irish word for successful. Its also pronounced the same as the Indian name Rahul which means conqueror of all miseries, so thats fairly apt too! :)

    Well done OP!
