The first one. I think that will be simplest for the cat to learn if it ever needs to write down its name.

TheQueenOfWands · 11/01/2018 13:15

I like the third.

Why would a cat want to write it's name down? A paw point would be fine.

Helpotron3000 · 11/01/2018 13:16

Nice looking names for my own satisfaction, I'm sure the cat won't mind

The first. Cats aren't all that strong on spelling so use the simplest.
CharlieAlphaTango hasn't noticed that one of his bowls has DOG on it, or if he has, he's not letting on.

TheQueenOfWands · 11/01/2018 13:19

Ah, true.

One of our cat bowls has 'dog' written on it and they haven't noticed either.

Good point queens

PhatSlag · 11/01/2018 13:20

Sorry queen

MikeUniformMike · 11/01/2018 13:21

I think Elfrieda is the prettiest. It's a fine name for a cat.

octoberfarm · 11/01/2018 13:27

As long as she's a strong speller, I'd go for Elfrieda. Definitely the prettiest!

Helpotron3000 · 11/01/2018 13:32

I can definitely work on her literacy

Elfreda

FreddieClaryHorshieLion · 11/01/2018 14:17

Elfrieda is great :) but I also like Elfrida.

skankingpiglet · 11/01/2018 14:24

Elfrieda for me too Smile

londonista · 11/01/2018 14:29

You have to test it alongside your surname OP. You don't want it to be bullied by the other cats.

FreddieClaryHorshieLion · 11/01/2018 14:38

london

And the initials!

Does she get a middle name, OP?

londonista · 11/01/2018 14:38

...and a christening, presumably?

Oysterbabe · 11/01/2018 14:39

Elfreda looks best to me.

Helpotron3000 · 11/01/2018 15:07

I think presenting her to the vet for the first time is definitely a cat-christening. Unfortunately, the vet doesn't go for middle names

You know we’re gonna need to see a photo before we actually decide our final opinions on the spelling OP Wink

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 11/01/2018 17:33

Elfrieda

SwinginFromTheChandelier · 11/01/2018 21:52

Elfreda

AuntJane · 11/01/2018 22:11

If she gets a pet passport her name will be written. However, that line of the passport has an asterisk and footnote "as stated by owner", so you're the one who needs to know how to spell it.
