What would YOU name a cat?

[lady M]

One is named Robert the other is William. My Max died last year.    I still miss him. They are brothers of the same litter. They are 11 yrs old.

My buddy and sidekick/wingman was a 17-year old Maine Coon named "Bob" as in Bob-cat. Aren't enough words to describe how Great this guy was! And he had great taste in human ladies!


Many moons ago, I had a female Maine Coon named "Spot". (I came up with her name before Data did on Star Trek TNG...).

I DO love all the names I have heard on this thread. 
Still waiting on pics of our kittens.
Funny, I was pretty sure we would be getting males and instead it will be females this time around...
Our last ones have been big, lazy toms so this could be interesting.

Eeep. Best laid plans to go awry.
I was in town and got a call from my youngest daughter.
She said:
"I have a cat" and I said "You are joking!"...
She proceeded to tell me that someone almost hit a kitten in the school parking lot. They asked around but so far did not find who it belonged to though it is probably a stray.
Anywho. It is on the porch right now eating a can of tuna. She was starved!
So we will see how this goes. I guess we didnt find a cat, it found US.

some of them find you we had a cat named Rascal that we think someone tossed out we heard him crying in the brush needless to say him and my cat were buds from then on.  mom had no intentions of getting squirrelly infact she wanted the little white male that i presumed was her litter mate mom would pick him up he would hope back into the cage squirrelly wouldn't stay in so mom took her. our boxer butch cassidy he curled up in my dads lap and wouldnt leave Luu Luu wouldn't stop playing with my parents when the puppy they wanted would have nothing to do with them. as for s80 she acted shy and quiet for the first day or two after that zoom zoom

Alesana ( my daughter picked the name as SHE brought the cat home  ) is doing well.
More info about the kitten surfaced. Apparently a stray cat had kittens behind the school, five of them. This was the only one that hadnt starved to death or been hit by a car.
I thought she might be feral because though she is friendly most of the time, especially when she knows you have FOOD, she is very fiesty. Whoa to any bugs on the porch,lol!  I dont see any flies, spiders, crickets etc..I am thinking she probably ate a lot of insects and whatever the mother cat brought in.
As said, most of the time she is a sweetheart and then can take it into her head to hiss and go after a hand or a foot! And is serious about it!
On another note, I will be getting MY kitten on Saturday. We were going to wait for that other litter that was ready in six weeks but decided we want one of an age with this kitten so hopefully they get along better. The woman is trying to convince us to take the last two....sigh...
They are both black,males, one shorthaired and one longhaired. IF I decide on both, it will be Balerion (the Black Dread) and Meraxes. Then NO MORE CATS! ::)Three is plenty.
My daughter says she wont remember those names so will just call them "Bo" and "Mo".

You shure you dont want more? Mine are rapidly on their way to being fuzzy slippers if they dont can it.

Not really but they are driving me bonkers

[Mairte]

Yeah...no more cats,lol. We finally find our cats and then all sorts of people are coming out of the woodwork trying to give us theirs!

[Adriana Rose]

Well the buggers can be sweet when they feel like it. And don't worry about mine, the postal service frowns on boxing cats and sending them priority.

[Mairte]

LOL, that's a good thing!
I dont want too many people to know how soft hearted I actually am or I would be over-run.

[Lady Christina de Pond]

hey check the usps they might not have an issue with it.
my grand father used to get live chicks in the mail

[Adriana Rose]

I am joking

[Lady Christina de Pond]

i know i think mairte would croak if you sent her your kittens after she killed both of us

[Mairte]

LOL, I'm joking too, I know sometimes its hard to tell from typing!
Yes, Lady Christina, people who pawn any more kittens off on me will die TERRIBLE deaths.

[Mairte]

Got the two black kittens!   They tag team on my daughters evil little kitten.
Alesana only wants things on HER terms. If you pet her before she comes to YOU, its wrong. If you pick her up instead of her climbing into your lap, its wrong. If the boys (Balarion and Meraxes) eat before her, its wrong. If they get attention, that would never do. Well, you get the picture.
We kind of think she might have some Bengal in her because of the ears and her spots.
My guys have good tempers and are real laid back. Balarion is the smaller, fuzzy, more playful one and Meraxes is the larger, smoother haired, more mellow one.
If you would have told me a year ago I would like these kittens as much as I do, I wouldnt have believed it.
I forgot how peaceful it is to sit and read, relax with a cat in your lap. Or to watch "cat TV" when they are playing.
