China Blue...already named before we had her as she was a retired mummy homed with us.
Having got the MC bug was waiting for my friend to breed a black silver mackerel with white which would have my name on it a few classic patterns came along but not my special so while waiting...
{Robert The} Bruce a red & white took hold of my heart when i saw his photo,he was named after a friend who is a massive 6' 4 with red hair,what other name could there be...
Year later his brown tortie flat chested sister joined us already named Pansy,it suited her & still does....
Joy of joys a few years wait but our wondefrul boy put in an appearance,always wanted a boy called Merlin so that was it & it was just magical that he was here but as he was going to be shown thought I would play with his name & he became Magicol {after son in law Colin} & Merlyn {after daughter...} my dream boy Magicol Merlyn was here family complete.....or was it,of course not so here we go again,when Merl got towards the top in his show career decided we would like just one more to carry on showing with so told breeder friend the next possible show babe we would have no matter what colour & along came a brown tabby without white,oh boy that was hard,didn't like browns & without white nearly a no goer but [oh what a mistake that would have been] ok how do we name him liked Simba but there are a lot of cats out there with that name so googled Shimba,came up with Shimba Hills & they have a herd of rare sable antelopes & the coats of the females are a dark brown so instead of hills we have a {Mara} Shimba but when we first went to see Shimba his bruv Boots said he wanted to come with us too,that was easy Wellynton Boots,now that was it fun over.........until we lost dear China,devestated & how I missed the busy busy ways of a girl,poor Pansy also was lost with no female company so when I went to see friends litter & little chubby smoke girl with a red spot on her head sat & looked at me I just said if I was having another one it would be her & her name would be Ruby as it was our ruby wedding anniversary,Ruby became our present from that friend & blue was added in memory of our first MC so our latest member is Ruby Blue,I have since lost my wonderful boy M Merlyn so who knows,watch this space & never say never,I just might be needing another name one day.......

jekkerrison what can I say, you definately put the thought in there, thats for sure, loving (Robert the) Bruce, and totallly agree what other name could there be with a friend as tall as that you need to keep on their good side, well done ! lol I love the name Pansy it just envokes a pretty, elegant girl.......dont tell me she isnt !! lol Magicol is wonderful and I am sure your daughter and son in law appreciated it, I am sorry to hear he has passed. Shimba well I have learned something new today I did not and shall remember now Shimba hills and antelopes, just amazing ! Love Wellynton Boots that is unusual but can see the logical progression from Boots. Sorry to hear about China what a lovely name. And what wonderful friends to give you Ruby Blue, bet you were thrilled to bits.

Thanks for posting I just really am loving all these stories, and I am sure you have not stopped adding to your MC family, omg I bet I end up like you..........................no I must not think these things !!!! lol Thought I would only ever have one horse.............that went out the window years ago !!! lol
