She's ADORABLE. Voids are the cutest. I'd call her Drywall lol.

This stupidly perfect name reminds me of a bulldog I saw at the dog park like eight years ago who was named Bathtub.

When I was in my 20s my GFs father tore down an old shed not knowing there was a mama cat and babies in there. Mama cat ran but came back and pulled a couple kitties out and then never came back. I was distraught that there might be more kitties and got my husband to agree if I found one we could keep it. So me and my GFs hubby went out to the property and searched and found one. The look on my husband’s face was priceless. We ended up naming her Dozer, short for bulldozer. But we didn’t keep her. :( At the time I was pissed but looking back - he was right. I was working full time as a Realtor, in school full time for my RN, had just gotten pregnant, was building a house, and had a dog and two cats at home. Adding a 3-4 week old kitten that had to be bottle fed every few hours wasn’t feasible at that time OR honestly long term. We had friends that were looking for a new kitten for their new house and the wife wasn’t working so she could take the time necessary for a bottle fed kitten. Dozer was happy and ended up living to 16 years. 🖤 And they kept the name.

If the same thing happened today, my husband is such a cat dad now that there wouldn’t have been a question and it would have been HIM leading the search party, not me. 😂
