I like the names, and they sound similar enough to clearly be a trio, but different enough that the kittehs will learn which sound is theirs. Well, I imagine. They are very cute names regardless <3
And those backs, I just want to stroke them gently, they look so soft!
Oh, they aren't new. That's Airport, Passport, and Suitcase, right after I got home from taking Briefcase, Ticket, Subway, and Tram back to the shelter.
I just meant, "what do we think about naming them after the other three Marx Brothers?"
I returned those three yesterday. They will be neutered today or tomorrow. So I have until Saturday to decide I'm close enough to my goal that it would not be wildly irresponsible to adopt them, or give up and release the hold.
These are woven rugs. The big circular ones are pretty expensive, but these are not.
All I can really do is change the percentage over cost that I earn for every item in the shop, which sucks, because I'd totally cut it in half for the most expensive things if I could. I want people who can't afford to spend $100 on a Harpo rug to still be able to enjoy one if they really want it. Someone for whom $100 is nothing could just tip the difference via KoFi or PayPal or something if they wanted to.
TIL that Gummo quit the act before they started making movies. He became a theatrical agent instead. He didn't bother with binding contracts, saying if someone wanted to work with him, they'd stay, and they didn't want to stay, they should have the right to go.
Gummo ended up being sort of the sacrificial lamb during WW1. He was drafted, which meant none of the other brothers would have to be. He didn’t care for the stage life so he joined the army! He spent his military time stateside driving around VIP’s, never going overseas as the war ended around the time he went in.
Correct, Gummo never appeared in any movies but was a part of their early vaudeville shows. He worked with his brother Zeppo as an agent once Zeppo left the act after Duck Soup. Zeppo didn’t much care for the movie life and being a near afterthought in the films. I believe he wasn’t even a full partner! Zeppo also started a company that supplied heavy duty clamps to hold down supplies being transported during WW2. He actually helped invent/patent quite a few things.
I love the names. Especially after reading some of the comments and learning more about the brothers they're named after. I kow about some of the Marx Brothers, but love learning more.
I got asked why I named such a vocal cat after Harpo Marx often enough that I have a keyboard shortcut for, "he was totally silent as a kitten, he didn't find his voice until he found his calling."
I am furious with myself for accidentally watching the Professor Harpo rug in hot with bleach.
I had done a load of pet laundry, moved it to the dryer, then did towels and rags. I didn't notice that I hadn't completely emptied the washer. It was probably stuck to the side of the drum near the lid.
It doesn't really seem much the worse for wear, though. I honestly can't remember the mortarboard cap was already lighter like that, as I had just gotten it.

I remember Chico from Marx Brothers movies I saw as a kid, but if I saw any of the few that included Zeppo and Gummo, I don't remember them.
We're they all too sweet to get the name Groucho?
She already owns a Groucho though
Rain already has another cat called Groucho
I don't really understand your question.
For what it’s worth, I got it 🤭🖤🤍🖤
That sounds super cute and fits them well!!! 😻
Another dose of kitten goodness! I'm sure they will provide as much fun and hijinks as the last group 😻

Ah ok my misunderstanding! Love the names though!
Totally understandable, as you can't see their faces.
Yes to the new names 🙌🏻😻
I love the mats!
Aren't they great?
The bathmats are velvety, with a thin foam core. I had a Pixel Harpo bathmat in the bathroom until I found a bathmat in the 1970s Sears pattern that was my favorite when I was little. Now it's in the front hall.

So yay for Zeppo!
He had the right idea!

Love 'em, but is Gummo a bit too close to Gummich that they might get confused?
I don't think so. That hard O is so different from the itch that I don't think the first syllable will be an issue.
I love the names. Suits them so well and they look so cute on your harpo rugs 🥰🥰

Accidents happen. it still looks good and you can’t really tell🥰
aww
They're so cute and the names are perfect.
I love it!
Airport would definitely be Chico, as he's a bit of a shady operator, who is easily flustered.
The other two aren't easily distinguishable.
Suitcase and Passport are equally handsome, so neither of them stands out as being Zeppo.
I think Suitcase is probably a little smarter than Passport, though, so that would make him Gummo.
