Okay folks, it’s competition time. I’m about 3/4 of the way through the first draft of “This Empty Earth”, a thriller novel where every living creature on the surface of the Earth mysteriously vanishes. The only ones to be spared from this event are those up in planes, skydiving, hot-air balloons, you name it.
Naturally enough, I have a cast of plucky heroes/heroines, and plenty of dastardly villains. I also have a cat survivor, who for various reasons is important to the plot of the story. Cats were also wiped from the face of the earth, except for a lucky few felines who were up in air, snoozing in their animal carriers.
This cat has the placeholder name of Miffsy, which is less than ideal. So I’m looking for name suggestions. They could be your real life cat, a person’s name, or something so ridiculous that I have no choice but to go with it 🙂 the winner of this impromptu contest as judged by me will win a hard-copy of my zombie novel Quiver (posted in Australia only – international people, I shall find something equally awesome for you should you win).
So either leave your entry as a comment here, as a comment on my Facebook page under this entry, or email your suggestions to “mail AT jasonfischer.com.au”
I’ll leave this contest open till I receive the perfect name. Go to it, cat callers!
Ian the cat. Or Pam. My cat’s name is Pam. My neighbour’s cat is Cinders, short for Cinderella. And it’s cinder grey.
I take it the cat is female? Not that it makes a difference as cats can rock any name. I’m partial to my cat’s name – ‘Grim’; but I also like ‘Trevor’. 🙂 Or Miss Kitty Litter… 😛
Soccerball, as cats are only good for kicking.
My cats always had pretty ordinary names, being second-hand cats and all, but my Mum had a cat called “Pushkin,” which is cute but also a good literary name 🙂
For some reason, I like Puff.
Acrobat is a cute name for an active kitty.and Whiskey is a good name for an orange cat but I personally think Cookies is a really cute name that every one could love.
Also maybe Satie or Echo or maybe Bella or Gracie or Pizza cause who doesn’t love pizza
Hi Kara! My apologies but this contest has ended. Thank you for your lovely suggestions though!
