Retrospec Delivery strikes again

I think Retrospec sent me live... contraband, that's the word? Something that shouldn't be mailed in a box to a child randomly? Not that my guardian believes me, she thinks he's just a cute tabby cat that some really nice Retrospec employee gave me/had to give up. So did the vet we took him to, so for right now I just have an "active imagination"! Haha... Advice/recommendations for good cat food and toys would be really helpful, actually. He's really sweet, just jumpy.

[ tbh thank you for your priorities, morgnyan ]

Um. I don't know! This is a bit sudden...

[counteracts]

yeah... I guess that's true, if you weren't expecting it

[Not everyone is like Morgan, who has been planning to adopt a cat for years, and has a list of at least three names for each permutation of color, fur length, and gender.]

we could brainstorm some, if you like?

[First: name the pet. Next: worry about it growing so large and wild that it might actually eat the kid.]

[5kotai]

[ ...That's definitely impressive. At least he wouldn't be picky about those if the personality was right? ]

Sure! I guess ones based on how he looks would work?

I think he reminds me of a cloud, or lightning.

[It's so hard to tell a cat's personality from the get-go, though...]

yeah, that's a good place to start

...guess it really is a brainstorm, huh

[HE'S NOT FUNNY, DO NOT ENCOURAGE HIM]

you could be really fancy and name him after a type of cloud
you know, like, cirrus, nimbus, stratus...
maybe that's a little too fancy, though
and lightning... hm. flash? bolt? maybe too simple...

[If you're getting the feeling he puts a lot of thought into things like this, you're correct.]

[5kotai]

[ We interrupt the thoughtfulness into the names with a very helpful comment: ]

Woah, English names for clouds are so fancy...!

Also, did you make a joke? Because I laughed a little when I got it.

[counteracts]

they might be Latin, technically...

[he's not an expert, don't test him on that

And Koukichi, you were supposed to not encourage him...!! Though maybe it's not so encouraging when someone has to ask...]

sort of...
I'm glad you thought it was funny, though

[5kotai]

Oh! Still, they sound like really nice names for clouds.

[ LOOK HE IS YOUNG AND HAS A WEIRD SENSE OF HUMOR. Actually, it's just a little odd from the get-go. ]

Storm clouds are really big, aren't they? He'll... grow big, so maybe something like that will work.

[ Clearly Morgan can help him further with this... brain... storm. I'm so sorry. ]

...Is there a Latin name for those? I think I know the Japanese one.
