guess what! my dad found a cat in the hood of his car and he took it home, unfortunately we can't keep it, we're giving it away tommorow but we have it tonight we made a cage and got food and litter, it's in our basement because my sister and dad are allergic. It's meowing like crazy right now, it's really loud. This cat is super soft, it's a tortoiseshell cat, it's hard to explain what it looks like, so look it up. One of its legs is hurt, we don't know if it's the paw or the leg. I'm sad that we have to give it away, but I'm glad we found it anyways. It's really sweet, it let us pet and pick it up right away. We haven't decided its name yet, we're pretty sure it's a girl though. Our names we've picked so far are Motor Oil, Mo for short, because we found it in a motor and Nova. What one do you guys like best? I'll tally up the scores at the end of Nov. 17 and we'll probably choose the one with the most votes, but please hurry we'll be giving it away soon.
I like Mo, but not Motor Oil. So I guess I'd vote for Nova. I used to have a tortoiseshell cat. We named her Cinder because she looked like a light-colored cat that had been playing in Cinders. She was a stray that joined our family for maybe 7 years or so, an indoor/outdoor cat. Then one evening when we called her to come in, she just didn't come home. Nor the next day . . . nor the next. We decided that she'd just gone back to wherever she'd come from.

I think just "Motor" would be sort of cute.
It would be! Purring sounds like a gentle internal motor running.

That's awesome! It's too bad your sister and dad are allergic-- my mom is allergic to cats too and if it weren't for that I think we'd have quite a few! I prefer just Motor, not Motor Oil... that sounds a bit long for a cat. And some cats sound like a motor when they purr :)

I also really like just 'Motor'. 'Nova' reminds me of the Portuguese word for 'new' though, so I think that name is cool as well.

I think you should name her Motor, or Mo for short. It’d be a really cute name for a tortoiseshell. ^^

I like Nova, but Motor's cute too!

Take her to the vet; the vets know which gender it is, even when they're kittens. Also for a general checkup. :P
We had a similar experience with a kitten, and the vet confirmed her gender as a she. I suggest Oil, actually. Mo is amazing and cute, but it just doesn't strike me as a girl's name.

Both of the names Motor and Nova sound perfect for her! How about a name that is kinda diverted from Motor Oil that still as to do with cars? Like...Muffler! Her nickname could be Muffy, and it's almost a joke, because a cat's purr is not muffled! How do you feel about Muffler the cat?

That's great! I'm sorry you don't get to keep her, but I'm glad you found her. I like Motor and Nova, though Nova strikes me more as a girl name.

We don't have the cat anymore but the lady we gave her to named her Lexi which is short for lexus the explorer since we found her in a Ford Explorer.
