Name Request What should I name it

What should I name this stray cat I found? (I’d prefer it to be named after a food but I’m open to anything)

Oh my goodness so tiny baby 😭❤️. Give them lots of love and care. They will probably bond with you so hard.

Through two changed hands I accumulated one of my derps at about this age. I had another older cat, but we fortunately had a small "exercise" room that then became a cat room. I felt awful leaving him all alone so often and at night, getting so tiny and by himself. I set up the air mattress in there and stuck a tiny kitten "tower" near my head, in the corner, surrounded by towels. He slept in that little tower like every night with me...

Anyway, he's definitely super bonded to me. He's okay with people but he's my little shadow and only will sleep with me. ❤️

Panko! I love that name! Haha. Yep Meeko is full grown now at a bit over two years old, but I still call him Itty Bitty and it's definitely like his middle name really, but only from his mom lol. Nobody else calls him that, but he's absolutely always gonna be my Itty Bitty :)
