Meet Phoebe
The latest ampon sa labas will be called Phoebe Esmeralda Castafiore Falconeri Ancic de Balzac. If she turns out to be a boy, Phoebus Castafiore Emerald etc.
Phoebe from The Catcher in the Rye, Esmeralda Castafiore from the Tintin book The Castafiore Emerald and For Esme, With Love And Squalor. Falconeri from The Leopard, Ancic as in Mario, and Balzac because he loved cats and coffee and I just saw a biopic with Gerard Depardieu that only had one cat. (Great cast though, with Jeanne Moreau as Balzac’s awful mother and Fanny Ardant as the Countess.)
The prize goes to the entry I liked best: “Briony Ottilia Goolagong” by humanum777. Please send me your Philippine address so I can mail you the book.

so glad she’s the latest luckiest ampon.
by the way, phoebe’s right front paw seems a bit swollen (or is it only in this photo?). if it’s swollen better ask a vet before she gets into serious trouble. for now, phoebe looks like she needs help with her grooming; looks like she’s had a rough time surviving out there.
but as the latest ampon, i think most of her problems are over.
