I still like Mignonne / Mignon (pronounced, min-yonn) because you can call her Minnie as diminutive.
Aka: Minnie the mouser.
Yeh, yeh, squeee etc.
But irresistible. ;]

On the poo issue. Don't give her dry food until she's a bit older. Despite what a Vet' may tell you, dry cat food will often cause extreme stink, and can be hard on the gut, hence blood. If her poo has mucus in it, definitely parasites.
Queeg. That cat has the look of a 'Queeg.'
Intelligent, observant, questioning, tranquil, but with eyes that will soon develop the death-glare of moggy supremacy.
You will recognize this when you insult her with less than gourmet offerings. Those eyes will then speak to you. They will say. "Die human scum!"
Uh, okay, no?
Then how about 'Mignonne'? (Small and delicate).

Now I understand the whys and wherefores re: when requiring telephonic technical assistance from my ISP, the call is answered by an Indian accented voice. This voice proceeds to wade through a list of thorough and repetitive questions (answered at length) followed by equally thorough and repetitive instructions (listened to at length). The guy is Paul, he's in Mumbai, and I'm hissing expletives like a tea kettle on the boil.
That guy in Mumbai named Paul does a THOROUGH job.
Them Indian dudes/dudettes REALLY understand how to get the message across!
Note: Paul in Mumbai is a Christian and drinks Laphroaig (Islay Single Malt Whiskey. Always use caps there folks), when he can get it.
And you need several large belts of Laphroaig before you make any attempt to absorb the thoroughly instructive Nirodh song and/or to truly appreciate it's thoroughly innovative choreography.

What Hank said, but I am an atheist. How anyone is able to believe in some omniscient being ('who' is also jealous, cruel, sociopathic and indifferent) zooms far beyond the bounds of any imaginative leap possible for me, this least of all beings am i. "Tribalism", oh yes, no doubt! Rank superstition. Fear based and "just in case, we'd best believe!" Conspiracy theories are more credible.

They saved the bear because they could! Imagination, compassion and empathy are human attributes.
Personality based observation of your environment, or the world. That which you seek may be to confirm and justify an existing attitude. In effect, a self-fulfilling prophecy to confirm existing prejudices.
Human behaviour covers a very broad spectrum.
In reality, people want to feel good, how that manifests can be negative or positive. Bear baiting or bear saving, for instance.
If you want to see the world as full of misery and cruelty, you will find it but if you observe with some kind of balance, you may discover there are a greater number of bear savers than there are of bear baiters.
Must polish my rose-coloured spectacles, they're a bit mucky. ;P
This is very odd indeed, but i think i know this lady. I've sent her the two url's that have the pics and should hear back from her soon. She has shown me similar pics of her taken in the 60's and 70's. She had a face-lift about 15 years ago. She is 70yrs of age, has been married 6 times and was an Airport Traffic Controller for many years. She worked all over USA, and one of those places was Chicago - where she still has a friend with whom she is in regular contact. Her friend in Chicago was also an ATC. Her favorite colour is green. She had one daughter who was, tragically, killed in New York in the early 1980's.
