"Chuwi"

Say what?

"Chuwi" (pronounced "chewy") is what my parents decided to name the new kitty. It is Swahili for "Tiger." I had originally suggested to name him Tiger, which my mom liked. My dad went online to search for popular cat names. He noticed that "Simba" was very popular, which is Swahili for "Lion." So, he decided to see what Tiger was in that language. Hence, "Chuwi."

When my mom told me, the first thing I thought of was Chewbacca from Star Wars. :-D

So, the kitty's name is Chuwi. The girls and I love it! I think Joel still needs a little convincing...
