They don’t explain themselves
Vintage old-lady names match their energy.
They feel earned.
They feel respectful.
They feel like they belong.

You’ll say it out loud and smile
It will feel natural immediately
It will suit her posture, her stare, her silence
The right name doesn’t need convincing.
It settles in.

And she deserves a name that honors that quiet wisdom.
So whether she’s a Mabel, an Edith, a Pearl, or a Gertrude, one thing is certain:
She is not just a cat.
She is a lady.
And she always has been. 🐱💐
