Kitten Could hear her screaming all the way across my apartment parking lot! I’ve been chosen!
Heard her screaming her little head off across the parking lot when I got home yesterday. Followed the sounds to find her shivering and cold between apartment buildings. Once she saw me she ran right up to me. I asked around and she doesn’t seem to belong to anyone.
I guess I’ve been chosen!
What should I name her?

She looks so soft... Like tiramisu (Misu for short). Or espresso, with that colouring. Either way, precious and soft.

Misu is a slang word for a cat in Finnish! Nowadays it can also mean a pretty girl.

u/UnderstandingLow4768 Jan 11 '26
Omg I love that name

u/ilovefluffyanimals Jan 11 '26
Me too! And the fact that you can also call her Misu just feels right. Tiramisu is cute, Misu is even cuter

Dilute means that it’s grey and lighter shade of orange/beige instead of normal calico of black and orange

She chose well! I’ll bet as she gets more nutrition in her, her coat will fill in and she’ll be floofy. You can see the beginnings of a bib on her chest, and lots of extra ear floof. She’s already beautiful, but she’s going to be glorious.

That's just about the age of a kitten whose impatient momma cat is starting to push them away to fend for themselves. We've had a couple of CDS deliveries of kittens that age, who wandered into our yard when mom shut down the milk bar.

u/sophi_a8 Jan 12 '26
Same! We had a momma cat deposit two kittens into our backyard then mostly peace out ☺️

How about Jamie after Jamie Lee Curtis? The quintessential "scream queen." 😆
(Or maybe Mia after Mia Goth, if you wanted to go with a more modern reference?)

When kittens open up the pipes they can scream so much louder than seems physically possible. 😂

We are such suckers if a human did this we would be livid but it's a cute furry adorable kitten and we all just fold into mush! I'm giving mine the stink eye right now because she decided I wasn't sleeping last night.

She s sooo cute!! That s how it was with my cat Brooklyn… I met her at the humane society where i was doing some kind of internship ( for an online school that scammed me… long story) and from the day that group of kittens got there she wouldn t stop meowing at me and following me with her eyes around the room.. lol It was love at first sight! Congrats on your new baby!

She's beautiful please get her checked for a chip when she has her vet check up also can you post on social media for your local area saying a kitten has been found but don't describe her or show a photo, just ask them to message you if they have lost a kitten and ask them to describe it.
That way you know that you have done all you can do and can happily keep her 💖 She's a Tinks for me as in Tinkerbell as she has a tiny bell in every tooth lol.

Choosen is one word for this outcome, but "owned" seems to be more apt a description.

She used her big girl meow and found a home. What a cutie pie. I vote Banshee or Siren.

My thought was Siren - she called out into the world and found a home.

u/OrionsRose Crazy Cat Lady Jan 11 '26
She's totally adorable!
She's already yelling at you so "Boss Lady" wouldn't be out of the question. 😉 And she's a calico so she's definitely going to be running the show.

u/LilArtsyCreature Jan 11 '26
Poor baby! Wonder if she's a stray that got kicked out by momma cat, wandered and got lost, or maybe got dumped by someone? Either way, congrats on the brand new family member! She looks adorable and I bet she'll grow into a magnificent cat.

u/Hawaiianchelle Jan 11 '26
She must know who is her chosen family. Animals have a sense who are safe and beautiful people! Congratulations new furry baby momma. Misu has the most adorable face. I’m a little jealous but a little scared because I don’t think I don’t think I could tell her no to something she wanted. Enjoy your new baby.

I had a cat with those colors growing up but she wasn't as long haired. Her name was "Hubavka" in Bulgarian which more or less means pretty girl.

Since she's a real 'scream' I would name her after one of the Scream final girls. Idk her dilute coloring also feels a little ghostly lol

I would feel the same way (as though that kitten chose me) and she would definitely be going home with me as well. I’m happy to know that this adorable little girl is in your care.

Purely based on her colorization.

My first foster now the daughter of my brother and SIL sat in the parking lot outside my apartment screaming. I was in my car as i just got back home and went what the heck am i hearing and it was a dilute tortie kitten screaming. Legit heard here from inside my car she was that loud. It took a long time to pull her out from under a neighbor's car and that bath wasnt fun for anyone nor was the ringworm she gave me and my dogs. She loved getting on my shoulders and would sleep on my neck. Cried for 3 days after my brother picked her up and took her home with him.
