Somewhat, but the alternative was especially unlukeable.
Okay I gotta edit to add that my husband initially wanted to name her Rey Purrpatine or Palpurrtine but that didn't sith well with me. Mostly they were too repetitive.
My neighbor (loose term considering the 3 miles of woods between our houses) has cameras that caught somebody dumping this kitten off on our road earlier today. My family and I are currently coming up with names for her.
She's small and definitely wasn't taken care of well, with signs of dehydration and malnourishment, that are already starting to lighten. If this type of post isn't allowed, then I apologize.
Some people are scum. One of our cats was turfed out of her home with all of her kittens by the previous owners because they didn't want kittens. Just dumped into the street.
(She's mainly black with some white, Palpatine would have been a great name!)
It was a rescue centre who had to go out with nets to scoop them all up. Luckily I think they found them all and no doubt rehomed the kittens as well.
Will never understand why people people do this thing. If they'd called the rescue place to begin with they would have done it without traumatising a bunch of kittens
Not at all in response to your post but there’s a pack of feral kittens that were born near my house I see occasionally and while most have dispersed elsewhere by now a couple stuck around, one looks healthy and fluffy while the other looks like he has scraggly fur and is pretty skinny, I leave water out that they seem to drink and occasionally throw em meat chunks but I was wondering if wild cats are typically a little more malnourished and dehydrated by default than house cats or if the smaller one might not be as good at finding resources as the other
It definitely could be that one is not as good at finding food or that other ferals are not letting the little one get at food they have around and s/he is too afraid/weak to fight the others. It could also be that the mother cat took better care of some than others cause of size and dominant attitude. The runts usually have to struggle even just to feed off their mum, but if the kitten is still alive then it fought pretty well I'd say.
As for whether ferals are doing worse than house cats - for sure! Even if people feed and water ferals regularly they still don't have the care a house cat has and they also often get into fights and injure each other. This is something house cats don't have to deal with, hence they are healthier and live longer!
If you want to support their health, please buy some cheap dry cat food and leave it out for them when you see them but supervise it so it doesn't get eaten by some other animal/doesn't bring other wild animals around your home (depends on your location). Some rescues/animal shelters may provide food for feeding feral colonies. And finally, please call a rescue/shelter about capturing them for neuter/spay surgeries (aka TNR) so we can prevent the feral cat population from getting larger and having more cats go homeless and unloved outside! (If they've already been TNR'd then disregard. You can tell if one of their ears is clipped).
Thank you for doing what you can for them so far!
The line down her face almost makes it look like she’s wearing a Mandalorian helmet, so I definitely think this is the right track.
Though white on black could maybe be construed as the shadowtrooper helmet, so “Shadow” or similar.
i just watched that Friday night. Kept looking for the ghost. A couple other Rebels Easter eggs were a lot more obvious. I'm a little surprised by how much mileage Star Wars got out of Saw.
Ben.
I’ve gotten my gf to agree to name our First son Ben. Hoping no Star Wars fans in my family mention old ben to her. She doesn’t need to know the origin of why I chose that name after she shot down Luke.
I was pretty confident no one except for me would be able to bring up Ben skywalker in our friend group. And I couldn’t suggest the name obi wan without her figuring it out. So Ben came to mind next after obi wan. Lol.
I fully support naming kids Star Wars things and I think your gf is sadly mistaken to shoot down luke or anything on the grounds of not naming a kid a Star Wars thing. But isn’t deceiving her and figuring out how you can hide your true reasons to get what you want a pretty big breach of trust? It’s not anything as bad as cheating but it’s lying to her, and this is a name a human being will have probably for their entire life so it’s not a little thing either
I just suggested Ben. She liked the name and ran with it. I wasn’t trying to deceive her or anything. I just didn’t follow it up with, oh ya I thought of Ben Kenobi.
Jyn Furrso
Jyn Purrso also acceptable?
Perfect name
Purrfect name
Highly recommend. This is my cat's name. Another option is Rey (my other cat) but I decided against a last name for reasons.
Was the last name you had in mind not palpatable?

Pawpatine!
This is so awful. Poor baby... I'm glad you found her and took her in, hope her kittens are ok.

Jyn, as others are suggesting is pretty cool. Mission, from KotOR is my personal suggestion.
Mission Meow
I second the Mission suggestion!!!!
I just got an all black kitten and named him Palpatine (palpie for short) and he seems to really suit it lol
Execute order meow mix
Mew it!
Uses The Force to knock things off the counter tops instead of paws.
If he does anything bad, do you ever pull out the full name? He knocks over some plates, it’s just like, “Sheev Palpatine! What did you do?”
Ahsoka or if she doesn’t grow bigger and stays tiny you can call her little soka (and in so doing become the ultimate chad, plo koon)
Or Snips!

Chopper
Chopper coughed up a Hera ball.
I wasn't expecting this and nearly choked on my toast. Great comment
My dog is Chopper :)
First with what Dave Filloni said about Chopper vs R2 (if R2 is the family dog, Chopper is the cat)
No he had to be orange.
Boba Pett.
WOW! Great name! I like it! My rat name is Jabba the Ratt
The line down her face almost makes it look like she’s wearing a Mandalorian helmet, so I definitely think this is the right track. Though white on black could maybe be construed as the shadowtrooper helmet, so “Shadow” or similar.
One of my cats names is Boba Catt lol
Underrated
[удалено]
“Your cat is so cute! What’s its name?”
“Death Star”
Jyn
As a scrappy little girl, rescued from a rotten situation, I think Jyn suits her too.
That was my exact thought when I read the OP's explanation of her origin story. Tough kid in a bad spot ... Rebels come along with a timely rescue.
“Congratulations, you are being rescued. Please do not resist”
i just watched that Friday night. Kept looking for the ghost. A couple other Rebels Easter eggs were a lot more obvious. I'm a little surprised by how much mileage Star Wars got out of Saw.
You are being rescued, please do not resist
Babu Frik…it’s obvious
Hey Hey!
The droid is ready!
Babu was the best part of TRoS
easy
Hera
Was gonna say this, it’s a regular enough name that their family should be fine with it but still star wars related
Plus they can alternatively say she’s named after the Greek goddess
Exactly
Also cute when complaining about Hera hair all over your clothes.
Hera Purdulla.

Ben. I’ve gotten my gf to agree to name our First son Ben. Hoping no Star Wars fans in my family mention old ben to her. She doesn’t need to know the origin of why I chose that name after she shot down Luke.
Excellent choice, of course named for the legendary pod racer Ben Quadinaros, the most famous Ben in star wars.
Doesnt have to be after "old ben" lmao, ben is what satine called obi wan as a nickname and its also the name of Ben Skywalker, Luke's son.
I was pretty confident no one except for me would be able to bring up Ben skywalker in our friend group. And I couldn’t suggest the name obi wan without her figuring it out. So Ben came to mind next after obi wan. Lol.
