Names for a young black male cat

Who is very, very soppy, gives kisses and like his tummy tickled.

Current name is Jet but I might change it.

He may be a Parker or a Robin or a Norman or a Nigel.

But not sure what do you think?

Oh I was going to say Jet!

I like Keith for a cat too.

Ebony?

SecretNutellaFix · 25/09/2011 19:22

We had Ebony. His brother, a tabby, was Honey.

How about Onyx?

Gremlin?

We used to have a wonderful black cat called Winston because he had such a winsome face.

Disclaimer: We acquired him from a cat charity and he already had that name.

We've had 2 black cats.

BC1 was Ace as in Ace of Spades
BC2 is Licorice. Treacle was also mentioned as a possibility for BC2 but DH worked with a guy who had that nickname, so it was vetoed. Sad

Tigerbomb · 25/09/2011 21:17

My little black cat is called Salem. When we have another one (also black) he will be called Merlin

We had a Felix - lived until he was 19 (last October - still miss him)...Latin for cat and also lucky...

SeaweedNK · 25/09/2011 21:34

Our much loved black cat was named Inky by the DCs other suggestiona at the time included Midnight, Twilight and Velvet. Recently we have been through a Harry Potter phase and DD has said that she wished she had thought of Sirius or Regulus at the time.Grin

aww we have a silly, young black cat who sounds like yours!

we went thru a few names. I think it's really hard to name a black cat, and i don't like those 'black cat names'.

Jet is a bit boring. We called him Jasper because he had golden jasper eyes. BUT we have since changed it, only becuase it sounded very similar to the name of our other cat and they got confused! Jasper also means 'treasure holder' which we liked.

piratecat · 25/09/2011 21:37

oh! he was Merlin before he was Jasper too.!

Most cats have a name already - our job is to work it out....

Please keep suggestions coming

Since watching Dr Who last night I have decided that stormageddon is a good cat name

Spook

piratecat · 25/09/2011 21:40

Sid is great, have you read the book 'Six Dinner Sid' ?!

MitmoodyCow · 25/09/2011 21:40

Shadow, then he could be a sort of superhero cat.
