After serious consideration, and with a little help from her mom, Elizabeth, our auction winner, has decided that the name of this handsome boy is Claudius Felix Batsel.
Once again, a perfect selection. It suits him so well.
Thank you Elizabeth for your generous bid! And thank you for picking a perfect name.
PS Speaking of perfection, isn't his little charcoal nose the best? It kills me.
I, King Claudius Felix, ruler supreme over the domain of Batsel in the realm of Butterbean, do declare Monday, the twenty-fourth of July Official Sparkleball Day.
This batch really is all about the noses, aren't they? Priscilla's precious pink; Clifford & Barnum's hand-painted wonders; and Claudius' charcoal briquet.
@Anonymous July25,2011 9:55AM I agree with his nickname, but you spelled it wrong. It should be "Clawed" Every sofa in the world just cringed in fear. A beautiful kitten
Yes, his little charcoal nose-nose is killing me as well. It contributes to the illusion that he is, in fact, a colorful orange tabby who is merely shows up in photos only in black and white. It's his own special effect.
Is this guy EVER cute! What a doll you are Claudius!
ReplyDeleteHello, Claudius Felix!

ReplyDeleteAye, Claudius! And Felix is terrific too!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if he introduced himself to his siblings saying, "I, Claudius" or does that reference date me? Wonderful name!
ReplyDeleteA fitting name for so regal a "silver" tabby. The family is complete.
ReplyDelete@Molly - LOL.
I, Claudius!!! Sublime!
ReplyDeleteOf course, those who are very close to him may use his nickname, Claude.
ReplyDeleteHis whiskers are sublime!
ReplyDeleteLook at those dreamy little eyes.
ReplyDeleteOh how apropos! Yes, Cherie, I completely agree with you -- the name fits His Meowness perfectly. ;p

Claudius Felix is perfect! I think that's my favourite name from this litter although Priscilla is also great.
ReplyDeleteOMC! We ♥ it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! (& LOL, Molly:)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I, Claudius indeed (reference dates me too :D)
ReplyDeleteHis little nose is almost as boopable (most respectfully for such a one named as Claudius) as darling Sheldon's
All Hail, King Claudius Felix!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a Sparkleball Day! I bet Charlene will adore you even more knowing that!
You, Claudius

ReplyDeleteIs dear sweet Claude a Sesame Street fan, perhaps? Then he could proudly declare, "Me, Claudius!" ;)
