I know I'm being a bit U, as I'm blatantly posting here for traffic!

He's 11 months old, adopted today, very cheeky, and purrs at a touch.

Photos included, I know the rules!

One rule - names need to be one word only. No 'Sir Mewton of whiskerville' nonsense Wink

Posh old man names actively encourages. My favourite is Sebastian, but not sure it has a cute enough nickname....

Samuel. Sam.

Cats don't recognise names. they respond to voice and tone. and body language. You could call him Bastard or Arseface as long as you said it in a way that carries kindness and affection.

Pick a name that you love but you wouldn't use for a child. I have a cat called Dexter (great name but has the unfortunate serial killer connotations haha)

Basil, Bartholomew, Jasper or Winston

Cauliflowersqueeze · 30/09/2018 19:23

Oh fabulous picture. He’s clearly Montague.

Monty for short. Very obvious to me, almost like he had just introduced himself. He’s a really stately gentleman isn’t he.
