Silly question I know but I seem to have jellybrain and can't come up with anything - we are getting a female cat (balance out the gender thing in our house back to even stevens!! I have a DH and DS!!) and I want a name I won't get fed up with in five minutes. any ideas?

One of my cats is called Dodgem but thats because she had her tail broke when she was a kitten and so it bends at the end like a Dodgem car thing (looks like a 7) the other is called Murder, i was 16 when i got her (same day a redrum was put to sleep so i named her after the horse but spelling the name backwards - i was a strange child i know!)

Sparklemagic, don't know if you've considered it, but what about getting 2 kittens (from the same litter, preferably), they keep each other company. No more trouble to look after than one.

We recently got a boy and girl from the CPL, 6 months old, and they are lovely.

Back to names, we kept the names they had, Daisy and Leo (ds insists on calling them Yoda and Obi-Wan though!)
