Posted by: Socrates Socratous on: Jun 19th, 2008Hey everyone,
I was working with a friend to put up a bar to support the overloaded
branches of my fig tree a couple of days ago (I LOVE figs,
especially my home grown ones :), when I heard a weird
noise coming from behind a bucket that was laying around
by the fig tree…
I wasn’t sure what it was at first until my friend pushed the
bucket to the side.
We were both stunned to find this abandonned kitten
laying right there on the ground.
The vet said its like 2 weeks old and if I want to give
it up for adoption it has to be 6 weeks. So we decided
to take care of it at least until it turns 6 (weeks that is)
We are trying to figure out a name for it. (its male btw)
Please post your comment below with your name
ideas.
I know my friend Joel Comm has a dog named
Socrates so at first I was thinking on naming it “Joel”
I am still pondering with that idea…
Take a look at the pictures and let me know what
you think.
Look how tiny this thing is…
Here is the kitten (notice I am wearing my favorite T-Shirt)
Oh… Spooky was getting jealous so I had to post a picture of his
lazy ass too.
Post your comment below and help me pick a name for this
creature.
Have a fantastic day

Great Picture, beautiful kitten.
Well, Socrates…his name just HAS to be Figgy…Go Figgy (Go Figure!)…in honor of your love for “Figgy” trees.
I AGREE FIGGY IT HAS TO BE!!! HE IS REALLY CUTE NICE FIND. WENDY
He looks like an internet guru to me so his name should be “IM Guru”
I think he should be named Destiny as his has now altered due to your caring nature.
One thing you have to watch out for. A kitten that young has not had its mother to teach it proper cat behavior. i.e. when it does not behave as it should mother cuffs it a good one. Without this kind of teaching it will sometimes want to be very agressive around people andother animals, it has not learned there are limits to things.
I have a 6 year old cat like that… it hates brown shoes or my wife’s laugh. He will attack her or anyone wearing brown shoes. He does not bother my brown shoes… I had to drop kick him several times before he learned you don’t attack my shoes.
Otherwise you have a very cute kitten… and Joel would be a very good name.
Perhaps you should name him “Bucket”….???
Awwwwwe….how sweet! What a cutie! Figgy is a cute name in honor of his discovery! ha! Surely Mama and other siblings have to be around somewhere??? no signs or sounds of them anywhere???
Cute kitten…if you want to find home for the kitten send it to me. Forget Figgy…This is TIGER
Hi Socrates… yé this is a special kitten, so i like the joel name, i think is a nice name.
jair
He is so cute! Socrates, where do you live? I want him!
I’m going with the name Bam Bam. I have a female cat named Pebbles so I’m sticking with my Flintstone theme 
Thanks for posting these. Too cute
Cute cat. poor little thing. I would say smokey or sam or felix. Right now “litlbit” would work.
I have to ask you what your secret is. I have been working at this for 3 years now. built my own website(almost deleted it when one person called it childish and ameture) joined profitmatic, mypowermall, Ispeedway and more but the most I have made is one dollar. I advertise on safelists. I downloaded a list of 4000 and have only sent to a few hundred with an optout button and no one has but noone had bought anything either. I am sooooooo frustrated. Can you help. Ken Drake
Socrates, He is just tooo cute! I think Figuru is pretty appropriate!
I was thinking Figgy as well, great minds think alike, haha.
I’m going with Figgy also! How sweet!
I’d name him/her Kittiopolous Figg.
POSEIDON because you rescued him from a bucket of water! - OK almost had water in it :^) If you give him away you will have to change it to Hades!! BTW I have lived in my house for 20 years and my wife only had dogs when we got married (21 years now). A couple months after we bought our house, a wild cat took 3 kittens in the garage and put them under my wife’s car when they were 5 weeks old. She said we couldn’t keep them because of the dogs. Guess what happened after I told her that I would have to take them to the animal pound? We called them Gladys, Knight and Pip. (Yes, I did that.) Gladys lived 18 years, and yes we have dogs and cats now! Have to look up more of those Greek names for our next cat!
or a variation on your friend’s name…how about Joey.
Hmmm…Well, how about….Socs! LOL! **Smiles**
Beautiful kitten! Not ‘Figgy’ though, that’s just too much. Figaro - Now that’s a manly name. Plus then, if you have to, you can call him ‘Figgy’ for short.
the perfect name would be “LUCKY”
Great photos, Socrates. The kitten looks like a “Tiger”, but, Figgy does seem more appropriate! have a great day.
Tommy
How sweet…. as an RSPCA Foster Parent to Cat mum’s and kittens myself, I’m really happy to see that you are taking care of this little gift from Heaven. Please try and find him a good home yourself because if he goes back to the shelter his days may end up shortened.
Ps: I think that ‘Figgy’ is a winner of a name.
WELL HE LOOKS PRETTY MEAN TO ME, WITH THAT SNARL AND ALL, LOL, HOW ABOUT HARLEY DAVIDSON, FOR SHORT “HARLEY” HE IS A SURVIVOR, AND HE IS SOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!
Here at our house, we think you should name him Newton. From either Fig Newton or Isaac Newton! Either way, an appropriate name.
Well…this beautiful kitten deserves to have my name. You see…I was abandoned by my mother too. But just like the kitten I was found by some very nice people(like you) who raised me and here I am! Or maybe you should name the kitten “Afortunado”(with good fortune - spanish). Oh so many names!
Someone said mine already it is Figaro
Our friends named a girl kitten they found frozen to the road Destiny
I wanted to name our son Joel Jo for my father Joseph and el for my husbands father Elmer. DH said no
Figgy is my DD friend at school
All good names He is so lucky you found him. How about Lucky?
Or Figis like the great WI company
Such a cute little kitty. i wish I could have one but I’m allergis to cats. My dog Sadie, would love to say hi!
I’d call it Bucket. My grand daughter has one like and she calls it KiKi. It even comes to her dad when he calls it by that name.
He started it off by feeding her every time he called her.
I don’t know how this would work but my website
has spray on under your tonge for diet, sleep, and other ones. But they are for people so may be to strong for a kitten.
Hi, I think he is such a cutie. I would name him either tiger, socs or figie. All three of those names are cute and cuddly, just like him. Thanks for the email about him. I hope you can find a loving home for him, how about you guys keeping him yourself.
I am a stray cat/kitten magnet so I know how hard it is to name a kitten. I really do like ‘Figgy’ but I also like ‘Newton’. The trouble with cats is - it doesn’t matter what you name them in the beginning. I have found that regardless of the original name, the ‘real name’ just seems to pop out one day - and it sticks. Unfortunately, the vets don’t like to have to change the name on their records.
Enjoy the adorable creature - regardless of what you name him. (Some of my cats have several names).
Take care!
Cindy
I favor Tigger, because the “very best thing about being a tigger is that I’m the only one.” (I believe that is a direct quote from Tigger himself
The cat’s name should be Adonis - the god of vegitation in Greek Mythology
P.S. - I got a kitten of a similiar age and had to bottle feed him. He became the most affectionate feline I have EVER known. The name that stuck for him was ‘Baby Cakes’
Cindy
A beautiful kitten and good for you for taking care of it. We have a cat that as a kitten had gotten up in the floor under the bathtub and got too big to get out. We took an access door down to get him out. We call him “Lucky” but, I like Figgy, too. I currently have 9 Chihuahua puppies living in my bedroom. Five are 6 weeks old and 4 are 4 weeks old. We are starting to advertise the six month old’s. Any one in the market for a Chihuahua. The one I am holding right now weighed 15 oz at the vet today. The others were from 1 lb to 1 lb 5 oz. Yes, my family are animal lovers, 7 adult chihuahuas, a big dog outside, 2 cats and a bird!
Cats are okay. I guess I would find someone who loves cats, since you have a dog. I am not a cat person, per say so you are asking the wrong person. Those are my comments. Good luck!
Hi, Socrates!
The KITTEN is beatiful - God Bless you for saving it.
No, not “Socrates” for a pet - no matter how cute it is (in my opinion).
When I was about 3 years of age I had a kitten just like this one - I named it TIGER.
While Candace’s name is quite fitting because of the “HISTORICAL” place where you found it “TIGER” is fitting because of it’s looks.
My KITTEN, unfortunately died young but in a way it’s death saved my life.
I was living in the country at that time and we had a well on the property. I loved to go to the well and look down where I could see my reflection in the water but I thought it was an other girl, who wanted to play with me.
The kitten, who was also attracted to the well she jumped in and, of course, drowned.
After my father got her out she was all rounded up with her paws stretched out and not playful any longer. That was the time I learned about DEATH. I was told never to go to the well and look down. “Never look down into the water!” echoed in my ears for a long time.
Next sommer I found myself sitting on a board over a huge cistern, filled with water. I was barely 4 years old, could not get off the board, which was waggly, so I sat there waiting for about 6 hours until I was “found”.
The reason I did not fell into the water because of incident with my kitten and that “if I were to look down into the water the same thing would happen to me”.
Your kitten brought the memories back to my mind. I adore that kitten and would have adopted it but I live in a small apartment and it’s not suitable for a pet, unless you help me make some money on the Internet to buy a house and then I would be able to adopt the kitten.
He looks like a survivor to me…
How about “Spartacus”?
I think you should name him MACHEETAH….:-)
“Figgy” is very cute. However, when I first saw the pics, “Tiger Blue” came into my head. Whatever you choose, he’s adorable!
HI,
What a cute kitten. I have currently 2 cats…I had 4 a one time. Definitely a cat
lover.
You have to name him after a “love” figgy is
good, Ebay is better.
BB is cute stands for Bargain Bucket…lol
I really think the Kitten is adorable and I think you should name him Joey - He looks like the name would fit him.
Figgy would be a good name but no matter what you name him you better just accept that he is part of your household. You won’t be able to give him up. Besides, Spooky needs a buddy to pal around with.
All the cats I have adopted me, not the other way around. But they are worth their weight in Kibbles just for the laughs they bring.
Rhonda
“Survivor”
This kitten looks like it’s gonna be mischievous. I’d call him “SCAMP”.
Ahhhhhh so cute, Socrates, I believe that before the 6 weeks pass, you won’t want to part with him. How about Figgajoe? A combination of Figs and Joel!
I am sure Spooky will grow to love this little fellow.
Love and Light
Maggie
From “Down Under”
Don’t name him “Spooky Din-Dins”…
How cute. I think Joel would be really funny, but that would mean you’d have to keep him. It wouldn’t be as funny to any other owner.
Spooky could use a play mate?
I have a hyper dog and 2 cats. They all get along, and they don’t get lonely.
Good luck, whatever you decide.
Carole
Because of the cute kitty picture, and other’s comments, I just have to chime in. So, as far as the name goes, I will go for “Figuru”, just like someone had mentioned earlier. It sounds special, and with a little humor too…
BOB.
Two things about a cat this small-
1.) It is so tiny it’s mom would be doing things to help it- for instance, on a kitten this small, mom would be licking its butt to help stimulate defecation…without it, he will die. You don’t have to lick it, gentle massage will do… and NO, I am not kidding!
2.) He probably doesn’t know how to drink effectively, except direct from mom. Talk to a vet about how and what to feed him (2% cow milk won’t cut it). Talk to the vet on the phone- he/she should be willing to give you advice. If not, call another one, that HAS a heart.
How do I know this stuff? By having to do it for an abandoned unweaned kitten I found almost 35 years ago, who grew to be my best friend for the next 17 years (ancient for an outdoor cat).
Named Bob.
Figgy sound like a great name to me
Will love to see a picture of your fig tree next time.
All the best,
Cedric
Socrates,
I like alot of others agree “Figgy” seems appropriate, but I have another name in mind as well. How about “chance”, since the little guy gets a “second chance” at a good life because you cared enough to take him in.
He is a cute little fellow….u sure that Spooky doesn’t want a playmate and pal?
I think “Chootiya” is a better name. But its Sinhala language(Sri Lanka). If u want more sinhala names, tell me.I’ll give u more names.
That little guy is precious. I love cats. I think he looks like a “Tigger”. Check out my site for some good kitty info. Spoil him. =)
We have a female Siamese cat named “Sassy” a very sweet cat. But I would not use that for a male kitten. I do like the name “Figgy” or how about “Founder”. We also had a kitten that looked like the one in the picture–and it was a male–we named him “Pepsi” and ended up calling him “PC” for short. Any way good luck with him. Also please don’t take him to a shelter.
Karen
Hi Socrates,
I think you should name the kitten Fhigz.
Marsha
Call him PDF - nuff said.
I word at a Vets office here on the island of Maui. We have a female dog named MD and my cat, well - she’s named mouse.
Aloha and Best regards,
Hong
Good job for saving the kitty - she will reward you in many memorable ways with love.
Look at the size of those paws in contrast to the rest of his body. He won’t be small for long and bet he will be a “big guy”. Daughter found one at three weeks in a Buick car. Named her Buick and since she puts her head down so you can kiss the top of her head, she is called Princess Buick. Good luck with the frequent feedings. He is really a cutie.
I suggest you to take a good care of it.About the name, how about just call it gregory(the lucky one).I’m sure that name doesn’t mess with your friend’s.
Do you mean the black cute dog below gregory is Joel Comm’s?
Wowowoow, I like the experience you are going through, Litze My coursin brought for me a kitten when it was four months, But I went through the same experience of searching for a name, “N” people gave in names, Including My kids, Thats Derrick, Henry,Jessey & My Nephew Habert. But to my amazement, My first Son Came one evening and told me, Dad, we want to have a Sons to Daddy talk, unfortunately they live with me, no Mum, And my first Son came up with a name and all of a surden, they all loved it, myself inclusive. He said the kitten should be called “KITTI” and guess what ? Half the village knows KITTI.
WOOOOOOOOOOOw what about that?
How about Fig Newton!
Yes, that is one handsome kitten. Enjoy the time he is with you! What really stands out are those eyebrows! In fact, a name I’d pick based on this feature might be “Highbrow.” If you keep him longer than a few weeks, his personality will take over and you can rename him for that!
How precious! I’m partial to Figaro, that was my first kitty’s name and he looked a lot like your little guy. I also like Chance. Bless your heart for taking care of him. You got some good advice and I’ll add just a bit more. Couple times a day cuddle the little guy on his back, and rub his tummy. If he tries to bite give him a little cuff like a momma cat would do. Get him used to it and he’ll learn to trust that you won’t drop him. Cats who are comfortable with this mature to be more trusting, affectionate, and less aggressive.
He was on his last day in the shelter, someone had kicked him when he was tiny and broken his leg which healed crooked. But he’s a great dog, very protective and does a funny dance when you rub this one special spot. Somehow they both know they are special.
For litter, look up Feline Pine or something similar, there has been some talk of the regular clumping litters being ingested by kittens and being fatal, and that clay stuff is pretty icky.
In residence here, I have Princess Bella Grumpy Beast, a calico that was found abandoned in a basement. Only a few weeks old, feral, and very sick with an eye infection, she’s grown into quite a purrsonality. She keeps the dog Bubala on his toes.
I’d love it if you’d keep us posted on his progress.

Hi there…Hey I’ve got a cat exactly like this one…my cat was like this when it was small..but now it has grown up and it’s really beautiful!!!i love cats…i have had several cats some years back but now I’ve got only one and it’s my life..it’s of the same color as yours, same texture also…that’s really wonderful!!!
plz if possible don’t give it for adoption..keep it with you..it’ll be of good company to you…you’ll like it, am sure..and you won’t endure separation…for instance, I wanted to give my cat to my cousin but when the day came to take it there, I cried a lot..and then I’ve decided to keep it with me…and now my cat is my best friend..His name is Tigro…
Socrates,
I think Figgy is a good name too….and if the kitten ever gets touchy about a “fruity ” name tell him it can be short for “Figaro”.
Who knows as a male cat, he might have quite a voice. If you keep him have him neutered as soon as possible. It will be good for the population of unwanted kittens and good for his long term health. Good Luck to both of you!

P.S. I helped raise 3 orphaned Polarbear cubs, when I was a kid, living in Greenland
All good ideas. How about “Bucky”?
Hi Socrates
wonderous Kitten
but are you sure its mother has really abandoned it
it doesnt look abandoned
it looks as though it mum has been nursing it well
keep an eye open for its mum looking for it
LOL andy
Oh…………..
I Think Tiger is its best name.
Hi
Realy these are a beautiful and nice pictures.
I like it
How bout “uppy” or “oppy” because he found a new great opportunity for life.
And he looks like he’s all in for it:)
Cute. :O)
Thanks for showing this cute kitten. The name should be (the lucky one)
Newton take the cake - that’s sharp thinking there.
go with that Socrates…
cant beat that.
Nice one Ed - thats the way the cookie crumbles.
He looks like a Jefferson to me, small but very cuddly and sure to be a big guy and such a bruiser with those chunky paws Jefferson is a good name like a cute cuddly bear that I am sure surviving all he has, Jefferson fits total.
Good luck my boy!!!
I think you should name the kitten ‘Socks’….short version for Socrates!
very nice picture
Hi,
I have an adorable kitty named Alley (Cat). Yours is adorable too. I like Figaro or Bucket.
By the way, there is NO WAY you’ll give him up after 6 weeks. Don’t even think about it. You’re hooked.
Charlene
I think Figaro since he will be growing up and figgy won’t do for a “HE CAT, KING OF THE RECLINER”
Hey there. Looks like a “Tiger” to me.
I my wife) have 5 Cats, the oldest 20 years, the youngest now 3 and he’s the biggest and baddest!
All were rescued and the last two were “weaned” by my wife Dawn. That baby, Smokey, thinks that Dawn is his mother. He cuddles constantly and sleeps on her pillow.
Me,they could care less, but I love them all anyway. Adog? No way, too much trouble!
BTW, thanks for the blog and information.
Richard
Ps: Who wants to be a millionaire?
Maybe call him LAF “lost and found”
My kids (7) are still debating the issue as we speak…I will get back to you..R
I’m sure Socrates would agree Newton is the only proper name for that little guy. After all Newton looked up to Socrates as his mentor…..apples, oranges, Figs, whatever, it doesn’t change the gravity of the situation. This time around Socrates will know how much Newton looks up to him. Sorry about being so corny but Newton is the obvious choice…..although Sir-Isaac has a nice ring to it too!
Oh, that cat is so cute! Forget what you know about internet marketing- if you want to get more female customers- just show them the cat! Awww it’s so cute. You should make him you mascot for yuor business. You’ll get heaps of new female customers thats for sure
I cant say if males are the same because Im a girl, but he sure would be a magnet for us girls
I like Bucket too, and I was thinking you could pronounce it “Bouquet.” But since it’s a mail “Bouquet” doesn’t really work, so how about Bucky?!
Can you change that to “But since it’s a male . . . ?”
Thanks!
Anyone who “drop kicks” an animal should have his feet cut off.
I think you should call him Bucket.
Bottom picture looks like he is on the hunt, so Hunter is my choice, Socs being second choice. And yes, I think you won’t give him up, too cute.
I have done hard work in my back yard for years in hopes of getting a little pussy, but it has never worked out for me. Congrats!
I like first and last names on animals, I offer Joel Figger.
Hi Socrates, My name for him will be “Impala”.
I was the assistant to one of the world’s greatest hunters, fisherman, photographer, and lecturer, Wally Taber, who just recently died after a very long,colorful and exciting life. I was reading one of his autographed books to me the other day, Safari Sagas, done in 1955 and the first page that fell open was about the Impalas, beautiful animals. Look at the top of your kitten’s head and you see 2 perfect horns right between his eyes that resemble the horns of an Impala or even a Grant’s Gazelle. He’ll make an adorable pet. I’ve only had 2 cats in my 80 years and “Tom” would lay across a chairs and I would ask him if he loved me and his tail would 90 mines a minute.I trained him to take walks with me, unleashed, and he loved to walk for hours along side me.
Hey Socrates,
Seems like most posts carry the theme around your fig tree episode.
So for a twist, Figgy could be more of a nickname, but why not a full name of “Fignatious Socs”?
Cheers!
Paul
Socrates, dude, my opinion of you has taken leaps just now, awesome that you’re taking on the responsibility for the little one. Cats rule my world! betcha you won’t want to give him up afterall… I once had a cat named Aristotle…. and as you probably know, Aristotle was a student of Plato’s who in turn was a student of… Socrates. Since you’ll be the teacher to this little one, sounds appropriate to me!
Socrates,
Many great name suggestions for the sweet little creature to choose from in the posts.
Another suggestion from me:
Victor, in the sense of winning despite the adversity.
A cat for Socrates should be named Aristotle.
I vote for Plato - another philospher!
Hi, he’s cute!! He showed up in your yard for a reason—–maybe, for good luck!! you should keep him and call him “Einstein”.
Hi,
I found an abandon kitten and her sister that were about that old and I raised one and my sister the other and they were the best cats I ever had. Must have been the late night bottle feeding or just the releif of having a home?
Anyway, I join in for Figgy. Very cute, means something and your not going to hear it everywhere.
Linda
I suggest Figbert. Seems like an appropriate name for the little guy as you found him under the fig tree.
By the way, I would love to have some of the trees you guys can frow there. How cool would it be to have a lemon or orange tree in the backyard?
Jeff
SportsTicketSecrets.com
Stop watching the BIG games on TV!
If it was found under a bucket…..then surely, ‘Bucket’ it has to be ?…..
A.T.B…..Roy.
P.S. …just imagine when you have friends round
and you suddenly call out “Here Bucket - come on Bucket” [forgoing the usual 'puss, puss,] and in strolls - Bucket! I mean, Bucket has got a bit of a ‘ring’ to it, hasn’t it ? mmm?
{I still haven’t found my MyDD]
I think that little guy is lucky to be alive. He could have been eaten by something larger, he could have been hit by a shovel or one of the tools you were using to do your work back there. He could have gone unnoticed and left to survive on its own, he could have wondered someplace and hit by a car or he might have been picked up by a service that would put strays down. The kitten is very lucky, his name should be “lucky.” There is no better choice.
Take good care of him, he will bring you luck. I’m a superstitious Latin and he is here for a reason.
Roberto
Cool cat 4 sure. I put myself into the cat’s world and tried to live from that point of view. I saw this man named Socrates, who found me, and I asked him to call me “Soc-cat”. From that point on I was nurtured and became well known in my cat career as “Soccat”
How about Little Joel. What a cute little guy… Are you going to keep him? I think you should… In 4 weeks you WILL be so attached to him that you won’t be able to get rid of him. The dog will be attached to him also. Than What???
Peace, David
I think the name “Lucky” would be a great name! I had a friend who named a dog he found with three legs Lucky. Lucky because he loved him!!
Best name for a male cat is Jack.
Just like you Socrates he’ll be a Jack of all trades.
Flea ya,
Ken.
Hello!
I personally think Hondo is great name. For all the hundred dollar bills that you making! Ha!
Keep up the great work and hope everything works out.
awww, he certainly is a cute one
he sure is a popular little guy, look at all the comments he has gotten 
Figgy is cute, but so is Joel Grey since he is a grey kitty.You should be really attached to him by the time he is 6 weeks old.
My dog died 2 years ago n i think you are as smart as my dog for he was always finding baby kittens that he would bring for me to take care of them.I think you are a cool person with a big heart. take care— BB Lucas—Happy landing when you fall
Looks like a “Badger” to me.
I’m going with Figaro, but Socs would work, too! You’re a special person, Socrates. I’m proud to know you!
Kim
The favorites I like have already been mentioned: Socks, Figaro and Chance
I think you should keep him
How ’bout Figlet…a humorous take on ‘Piglet’ from the Milne Pooh stories, or…
He could be a Jellicle cat - Macavity or Gus, or…
O’Malley, Berlioz, or Napoleon
I like Figbert as well, but he’d have to be ‘Sir Figbert.’ Whichever you decide - I think his ‘finding’ was such an unusual happening that he deserves an unusual, uncommon name - good luck!
The kitten is gorgeous and so tiny. It looks like he hit the Jackpot by being found by you, so in honor of his luck, I think you should call him Jackpot, then you could call him Jacks for short.
Thanx for this post, I think it’s awesome that you’ve adopted him, even is it’s only for a few weeks. You never know, you might not want him to leave after that time.
NICE OF YOU TO RESCUE THAT POOR LITTLE KITTY
I THINK YOU SHOULD NAME IT TIGER.
Cats seem to find us. In fact, one of our males brought home an abandoned 3 week old female which he raised. She lived almost 17 years. The 3 we havr now are: Sambo, 25 lbs. and 9 years who came in vitro with his mom; Patches, a 4 year old calico who was almost thrown to us from our goofy neighbor, and Pusspuss, a 3 year old tiger female who adopted us a few months after Patches came to us. I’d opt for Figaro for your baby.
Hi,
Ahhhhhh so cute, Socrates Realy these are a beautiful and nice pictures.
Rosey
Adorable!!! Im thinking JJ.. (Joel with an attitude.) 8D
it’s cute like u
Hi,
Darling kitten. No “drop kicking” (idiot!), nuture and love with lots of handling. Name the kitten with an adult name. He’s a male so you don’t want a “cutsey” name. I like the name Figaro..it incorporates the fig tree theme. Aristotle is cute, to, but a bit long.
Good luck…….
pic is so cute. I love it. These are superb
Alex is right-on for the kitten to have the best chance of survival.The second best name in my opinion , (and the posters sent in a lot of good ones),is “Survivor”.But I would name it `surprise.
I want to say THANK YOU to every one of you that posted a comment. I really did not expect this type of response.
I think we may go with “Figgy”. I like that
Will post more pictures soon to keep you updated with his progress.
have a fantastic day
-Socrates
i love kittens!! especially small ones!! i wish i had one.
Personally, I would have left the cat outside. I hate cats.
Dogs on the other hand, are OK with me. Is that dog suppose to be that big, or is it overweight? The head looks rather small for the body. I notice you did say “lazy ass” so maybe this answers my question
Mike
i think you should name him lucky, as he is blessed and lucky that you found him.
I would name him Rescue, after all that’s what you did.
Gail
Figgy is purrfect.
nice kitten
if u like u can call her KC k coz she is kitten nd c coz she is cute
Manny
Absolutely beautiful!
He looks like a YODA to me, or even a LUCKY.
Want to hear something funny?
Believe it or not, on that very same day I also found a kitten. Not in my backyard, but in the church lot next door to me. There were 4 kittens about 4 weeks old.
They got distributed in the neighborhood, but I kept one. He is adorable and feisty. He is sold black and we have named him PUNKY. He loves to attack feet.
You better watch it, though. They bury themselves in your heart. You will hate giving him up.

He’s a cut little kitty. The name I would suggest is bindybu. I have a good kitty story for you. My next door neighbor came over to me while I was working in the yard. She thought she had heard a meowing in her hallway wall! She kept hearing it all afternoon, but did not know exactly where it was coming from. She came over and got me, since she knows I have some cats already. So I went over and listened around, discovered the meowing was definitely coming from inside the wall!!! I went and got a hammer and chisel, the wall was a wood stud wall, so I started carefully knocking a hole in the wall. Did not see anything at first, so I went up a little higher, and sure enough there was a little kitten in there. How in the world he got in there is still a great mystery! I kept him and he is a very large, lazy cat now. We called him Meimei, since we did not know what sex he was at that time. He also was about 2 weeks old. Cats are strange people sometime!! But how curious do you have to be to end up INSIDE A WALL! He still likes to get inside boxes or bags, anything he can squeeze himself into!!

Great rescue. It’s a beautiful looking little fella, and in one of the pictures, he reminded me of the young lion in the Disney movie, “the Lion King.” therefore, I name this little fellow, “Simba” Hope you find a good home for Simba, as soon as he is old enough

Awww… tooo cute! I’d name him, Noah-
obvious reasons
I just can’t see you getting rid of him- you found him, in a very odd way (in your own yard, poor thing!) by another month, you’ll be tooo attached to lil’ Noah
You’re a good daddy for including your other child. You know how ugly sibling rivalry can get!
Good luck!
I have a ebay list of over 50000 buyers who have bought from me..and I would like to know how I can use it to generate more income..Thanks!
Everyone made great comments except one. Jim Davis tortures animals. There are other ways to train an animal other than kicking them. I know, I have had animals for over 50 years and still do. You probably broke a rib on that cat. Do you beat your wife and kids too?
Everyone picked a good name for the kitten. I hope he is doing well.
