What exotic name can we call black and white cats so they dont get overlooked in the rescue centres?

We need to make them more desirable.

I'm not creative with words so one of you will have to think of something.

Sylvester & Tom are not allowed --making the rules up as I go- because no one watches those cartoons anymore and they wont have the faintest idea who Sylvester is.

We had a black cat called Zimbabwe when I was a little girl.

I have the creativity of an ice cube but I've been pleased to see, recently, that some pet product manufacturers are changing their advertising cats to - mainly - black and whites and dark tabby and whites. If people could do more to persuade advertisers away from British Blues and ginger tabbies then that would make a big difference, I think.

I used to know a horse called Murphy, sausages - black with white socks & blaze - he was a handsome devil Grin

We have always had black 'n whites, lovely, lovely cats.

Little children who visit often call ours Felix cats, but I do like tuxedos and jellico's!

I just don't understand why they are always the last to be picked Confused

After stars of black and white movies:

Chaplin
Clara Bow
Garbo
Max
Harold Lloyd.

As for generic naming, let me have a think.

Completely random but our son named our black & white cat shrek ! Grin

This was 13 years ago(when he was 3) & he wouldn't change his mind!Smile

Pinkshire85 · 08/08/2015 22:04

Monochrome?

I have two black and whites and they are just as cute as other colours.
It's the personality that counts not the colour.

cozietoesie · 08/08/2015 22:11

Er Angel ........

Shrek is green ! Grin

TCN needs to show this to CH and they can choose a good name for them.

I think there's no question, Fluffy - it has to be A SHREK. That's too weird to ignore. Grin
