Thread: Pictures of my New baby

We also named Dakota before we took him home. However, he is and will always be my "doodle-bug" - and he answers to both.

Mufasa came with his name and as some people who had never seen the Lion King kept calling him different things like, Mustafa or Mohammed, we shorten it to either Moofie or Fassa. I did have the name 'Wilberforce\Wilber' in my head, but the girls loved Mufasa so that is what he stayed! A good friend told me when I had the girls that children grow into their names, I guess it's the same with cats - so whatever you decide I'm sure it will suit him!

He's gorgeous. I used to love getting the kitten progress photos from the breeder. As to names we always try and have a link to their pedigree names. Mitch was the hardest to name as he is Starpaws Elegant Mess (a word play on Elliot Ness) We ended up reading the story of Al capone trying to find a suitable name. He didn't look like an Al or a Capone. There was a street called Michigan Avenue so he became Michigan shortened to Mitch. Keeps was easy from Starpaws Keepsake. Ally was also easy from Yaheska Alroy. Our blue boy who we lost last year was also difficult as he was Yaheska Zorian. It took us ages to come up with a name and in the end he became Finn as he came from Finnish lines.
