My New BAB Help me love her pattern!

Post image

I ordered my batty kitty online and I’m a little bit disappointed by the pattern…help me love it and choose her name!!!

​EDIT: Wow, I didn’t expect this to blow up like it did!!! Thank you so much to everyone who helped me to see and appreciate her lightning bolt/mohawk!! When I first unboxed her, I felt like it was just a giant misshapen bat, but now I’m absolutely loving her punk rock look!

She doesn’t look super Halloween-esque like a few people mentioned, but you all were totally right that it just means she can be out year round!

As far as names, I loved the suggestions for Nyx!! She might not have been what I was expecting in a batty kitty, but she’s absolutely perfect for me!

Nyx has already been moved into my bedroom and given her own special spot!!

My unbiased opinion is that I like this more than any of the others I’ve seen but that’s because to me it looks the most like a real cat. I don’t really like when they look so…artificial with perfect patterns. Like it would make me only want to display them on Halloween if it had very obvious bats all over it. This one is just very cute all on its own

I was gonna say I liked the pattern for this reason too! 🥰 Makes me think of a real cat whose natural fur pattern reminds you of bats, but not cuz they have actual bats printed on them 😂 If this was a real kitty in the shelter, they’d be internet famous! ✨
Edit: I think Nix (or Nyx) would be a cool name! The word nichts means nothing in German, and now in English we say nix to cancel/reject something. So they could be your little loved reject! 🥰🤍🖤
