@agnurse Biggie is gorgeous! Oscar Wilde isn't thick - he's actually smart as cats go but he is a coward and what my husband calls 'maricas' (Portuguese for sissy lol). He's afraid of everything and everyone except us... No idea why as we've had him from a tiny kitten. It's a good thing though as it means he stays away from the roads etc.

My cat visits my neighbour. She has nicknamed him Gizmo as he is a little shit after midnight. His real name is Ducati. If i’m honest, neither really work when bellowed across the vet’s waiting room.

My next cat will be called Bill.

My moggy cat is named Miss Lilian Davis and my pedigree Siamese is called Potato (although answers to Tato, Tater Tot, Tate, Tatties and Spud Gun.)

I liked naming mine after cheese. The first was a ginger named Orkney Cheddar ( he was an amazing cat / I still cry thinking about him)
The ginger we have now is Colby Jack (another amazing cat!) and we also have a little silver and gray equally amazing tabby named Monterey Jack (Monty) - the baby of the family.

You've already chosen it. I have known certain cats who would have been a definite Lady Russell.
