Having recently lost our lovely 17 year old cat, we have a cat-shaped hole in our lives and will soon be re-homing a beautiful 2 year old cat.
She is a lovely girl, who is essentially black all over but with a small smattering of white hair on her front - not enough to be a white patch, but just a few white hairs within the black. She is currently called Smudge. I'm not keen on this name for a few reasons - firstly it was the name of my ILs' cat years ago (which was a pretty horrible cat which neither of us have fond memories of); secondly it is a bit ubiquitous; and thirdly - probably most importantly - everyone assumes it's a boy! (there's also the fact that I don't actually like the name).
I'm pretty sure that as soon as she settles in, she will be very unlikely to be called by her actual name - but she still needs one that we like, and which suits her (for the vets and cattery, if nothing else!)
So - any suggestions for a female name for a lovely black cat? (I've already suggested Agnes, which has been overruled).
(To pre-empt any questions - I don't have a photo, but will share when she comes home. Just conjure up in your minds a pretty black cat with lovely pale green eyes, and you're just about there).
