rescue kitten - look at my beauty!

[SugarDiabetes]

He's mine, all mine and I pick him up on Thursday! Although my 12 year old daughter is going to name him, please not Fluffy, I'm open to suggestions to tempt her with

I know. That's why I apologised - it was just a moment of madness.

Cooper is a great name.

He's very cute

Gorgeous! Happy Birthday your DD, and Cooper.

I'll regret asking this no doubt but what's the other meaning of Fluffer?

Here you go, Miffle www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fluffer

Wonderful to see Cooper so obviously happy at home with you, and I love the name you picked

More pictures, please?

Look on the bright side, Miffle. You could have called a cat that inadvertently and have had to subsequently tell DCs why the name had to be changed.

Woah. Well that puts a whole new slant on the FluffyMcFluffFace name

Cozie my DC probably would look at me patronisingly and explain it to me - they are teens and use all sorts of probably rude words I don't know!

Very much at home

DH hates cats. He is the reason it's taken us so long fifteen fucking years to get a cat.

This is what I found when I got up this morning!

Cooper the catalytic "converter"

Ah yes - funny how they always know exactly which one they've got to work on

You'll know all is lost when you catch him preparing little treats for Cooper, with silly excuses like "it would only have got thrown away", "I didn't think that piece of fillet/steak/whatever was big enough to do much with" and so on ...

Cooper is a great name - love it! So glad your DD is so happy.

But, I MUST know, how did you manage to persuade your DH? I have a similar problem....

Wow, I have led a sheltered life... just clicked on the dictionary link to fluffer

Will Cooper grow up to be a Tommy, an Alice or an 'Enry?

Janet he's just going to make barrels.

Bagel when we moved into our house, one of the rooms had an old wooden floor which I loved and DH hated. I wanted to sand it; he wanted to put laminate down.
In the end I agreed to laminate it because I felt that my love for the original floor was not as strong as his hate for it, iyswim.

So I worked on the same principle for a cat - is your dislike of the idea of a cat greater than DD's desire for one?

I didn't know what a Fluffer was until about 10 years ago. Sheltered life here too.

Does your dh call himself dad to the cat?. Dh does but denies it afterwards.

I would of had to call him tuft coz of the little tuffs of hair coming out from his ears

What a handsome cat!!!

Just popping in to add to the conversation about calling a cat 'Fluffer'..... I very almost adopted a cat who's owner had named it 'Gonad'.

I wasn't going to change his name because the idea of the vet calling for 'Gonad' was too funny.....but someone adopted him before I had chance

I have this vision of a few cats throughout the UK being called by words that DC have heard being used and 'liked the sound of'. And parents doing their level best to alter things. (And sometimes failing!)

Ds wanted to name one of our Toms Asbo a few years back, we settled on Bob

Now that's straightforward, Betty. There actually is a cat on here called ASBO.

On the board at any rate.

Cooper is soooo lovely & you all look and sound so happy

it's a fab name too, how did you arrive at it?

(I am seriously tempted by the name Pushkin though. My youngest kitten remains unnamed at nearly 10 months old & he's huge, calling him
Kitten at this stage is ridiculous...)

Low we just kept throwing names into the ring! We realised that we quite liked 'tradesmen' names, as Miller, Tailor and Tanner came up! DH and I liked 'grandad' names - Stanley, Frank, Ernie - but DD narrowed it down in the end by calling him a few names and seeing what he responded to.

Another pic - are you bored yet?!

Cooper is gorgeous!!!

are you bored yet?!

Absolutely not!!

Is that a cat tower he's sitting on? Clearly he's being spoiled already if so, though they're a great thing with huge amounts of play value

You do realise that responding to his name will soon dry up, don't you? Unless it suits him, that is ...
