The Wicked Witch of the North
The rain has finally stopped! The north of the North Island copped some serious rain and flooding...according to Metservice, Northland had its usual monthly rainfall in two days! My dinghy is really gonna need some bailing :-O
The house I'm sitting may be one cat down by the time the owners get back. Really annoys the hell out of me when I'm not told about a meowing in the wee small hours moggy...I'm afraid these guys are now on my black list. Nine very long nights to go.

Poor baby! She just misses her mommy and her daddy! She may not meow in the wee hours of the morning when they are there.
Or ... if she's an older cat, she could be experiencing senile moments and finds herself lost in the middle of the night. Taeyn would do that once in a while. She'd be standing in the middle of the room and not know where I was. Like ... I'm right here you silly cat!

Very shortly, I'm going to have less time at the computer 
This little rug rat will soon be living with me.
She's currently named Aftershock, but hasn't been called that. So she won't have an identity crisis when I name her something else.
Like ... Eirlys. Which is Welsh for Snowdrops. I'm still working out the pronounciation. I'm seeing (and hearing it) as AY-er-lis, EYE-er-lis, AY-liss, AY-lees, EYE-liss, EYE-lees.
ei is pronounced AY (as in bay) in North Wales and EYE in South Wales.
And of course, it depends whether you're from Wales, Canada, or the US as to how it's being pronounced. The Canadian video it came out like Earless, another video it was more like Airless. And someone posted it sounds like Heiress ... without the H.
Another possibility is Eira. Which is Welsh for Snow and would be AY-ra or EYE-ra.
I also love Eryi. But, I can't follow how it's being pronounced. I suppose I could cheat and just say Erie i. After all, what are the odds I'll run into someone from Wales!
Oh, that one means from Snowdon (the highest mountain in Wales). And of course Snowdonia is Eryri (which means Highlands). Out of five or six people who recorded the pronounciation, it seems to be most often pronounced kinda like Aerie ... with more r's or ri's or something at the end.
Now ... the real question is ... why am I drawn to Welsh names?!?
Oh ... and I should check on the translation of Rug Rat :wink:

And then ... there is still Grafitti because she looks like someone spraypainted her
But of course, that's just too common a name, so I'd have to fancy it up like I did with Taeyn's name. She was named after Etain. Clearly, it ended up being spelled nothing like Etain, nor being pronounced like it either

rat ryg
Only because google translate is confused. Since Rat = lygota and Rug = ryg
So ... rug rat should be something more like ryg lygota.
Definitely too much of a mouthful!

Yes, that is quite a mouthful!
Oh joy, oh rapture! My bank's website has crashed, all debit card transactions being declined, peeps all over the country be ready to flatten someone, poor people on the help desk be harried but still polite. First day back for a lot of businesses and this happens. Big oops.

Not to mention trying to spell it. ~sheesh~ I'm sure you'll come up with something fitting.
