They Have to Name Her Irma!

Hurricane Irma is gone now, and as Floridians clean up, repair, and return to their homes, one couple brought home a little something extra: a stranded kitten.




Found on The Dodo by Gigi the cat lady.

    What a lovely little family! They remind me of Cole & Marmalade’s humans.

    Now all the mom & dad have to do is train her how to chase her tail in a counter-wise direction in the middle of the living room

    Such wonderful people!!!! It’s been a horrible couple of weeks down here in Central Fla but I’m feeling so much better seeing things like this.

      Ain’t that the truth, Beemoused! I’m in Tampa, so I totally understand. Storms bring out the worst and, fortunately, the best in people. Rica’s new family is definitely showing which group they’re in! ??

    What a sweet little baby. I’m so glad that couple found her!

    If they don’t like “Irma” then move the letters around and get “Mira” which in Spanish means “Look”- exactly what they did to save her. Pronounced Meer-ah.

    Okay, shall we assume the Down vote was someone’s mouse clicking the wrong place? How could anyone disapprove of this? They should have left a kitty in the middle of the street with a hurricane coming? Had to be a clicking error.

      Quite possibly. I’ve done it myself several times.

      Yes, I always assume it’s just an upvoter with wide thumbs.

    *melting* That little face peeking helplessly over the wrap!! The handsome guy being all tender and gentle!!! The woman cuddling the baby… *melt*
    Yes, Virginia, there ARE some good people on this planet, they are not all self-centered haters. I hope they all survived the hurricane unscathed.

    Just by the way guys,in case you didn’t know, the guy in the video is Charles Trippy, a well-known daily vlogger on youtube. I thought I’d mention it because that means that if you go to his channel, you’ll get to see lots more of little Irma and even watch her grown up if you’d like πŸ˜€ Here’s the link:

      Replying to myself because I can’t edit: Upon browsing through his latest Vlog, it looks like they actually ended up naming her Rica, just FYI.

      Very cool – thank you!
