@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.

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.
