Thread: Cat names

Conny you have an unfair advantage as both breeder and having my idea of heaven in coonies.

Buddy was named via thread on here (MickB actually named him!), Millie got named as only one letter diff from her previos friendly name, Storm got his name as Tornado was too much of a mouthful. Woops, I haven't agreed to have that kitten. ... yet

Poif (Pwuf) was named after a word I made up when I was about 3 yrs old, which meant 'fluffy things'. It was a descriptive word. I felt that it was the perfect word to describe an MC and so poor Poif has been named so.

Ffion has been named so as my OH is Welsh and I hoped that if I allowed him to name the beast I may be able to have another...I was right. He chose Ffion which is Welsh for 'foxglove'.

Maybe you can come for a holiday in the netherlands...and you can visit my heaven of coonies :-) And I promise you, my coonies like that they will all sit on your lap :-)))

I may have to take you up on that Conny. Buddy is a lap cat as well.

In our house we have the terrible foursome:

Budletts LifeofRiley - Riley, Rillington, Fatty, Belly (he's very lazy and rotund)
Budletts Charlie Mainechester - Chester, Chester-Pester, Baby Chester (he's 'little')
Yaheska Arctic-Warrior - Alfie, Alfonse, Get Down Alfie, Spoilt Brat, That Little Sh*t, (as in: "look what that little sh*t has done now!")
and the baby Yaheska P-Pawsfourthought - Oscar, Oskie-Poskie, Posks, Little Poskins, Mummys Little Treasure!

Daft I know

I had a t-shirt with 2 non-MCs on it called Sunshine and Shadow. Trouble was we ended up with 3 MCs (we just couldn't leave one behind!) so had to find a name to fit in. So we have Sunshine (registered name Sunny), Shadow and Moonlight!

Sunshine gets called big fat ginger boy and Moonlight is Moon or Moonie or Lune!! Shadow is plain old Shadow or Shad....

We chose Teddy after I became obsessed with the name Theodore. Dave says it has nothing to do with this but it so does! You know Alvin & The Chipmunks? Well I *love* the little cute fat one and he's called Theodore. I picked the name a long time before we even knew we'd end up with a boy kitten and Dave had initially said he didn't like it.

When we went to meet the kittens, we thought we were going to get a little silver with white boy and thought 'Teddy' didn't suit him just from seeing the photos. When we met Teddy we knew straight away that he was definitely a 'Teddy' and I think in some ways that's how we knew he was the one for us, seeing as we'd named him months before we even met him!

It was pretty controversial with my friends and family - most said it was a silly name for a cat but I told them if they continued to say things like that they'd never get to see him! They soon shut up.

He gets 'Tedders' most of the time (he really only gets called Teddy when he's being a brat!) and Dave sometimes calls him 'Teddington'

When we talk about getting another, we haven't quite got a name in mind...I reckon when we start talking about one specific name, that's when we'll head back to the breeder! I like Ruby (it's my birthstone) but I think I'd only call another red that and I'm not sure it's a good kitty name? I want one which goes nicely with Teddy
