What would you name this cat?

[marylinmonroeroe]

4 year old boy

I've got a cat called Dennis!

But if he is 4 hasn't he already got a name? Won't he get confused (not that cats ever come when called anyway).

Out cats always had people names.

Humphrey?
Earl?
Marlon?
Walter?
Albert? (Albie, Bert or Bertie for short)

I think it can be a good thing for an adopted cat to have a new name. It signifies a new start. I foster and there seems to be roughly a 50/50 split between people who keep the cats name and those who pick a new one. I've even renamed cats I was fostering, to make them a bit more adoptable.

My first thought was "Gerroff" - which is what I say to mine when she's on the kitchen worksurfaces! ...So, Geoff?

I agree with Alb1 Keith is a lively name for a cat!

whistles innocently

Lovely, not bloody lively ffs

Reggie was number one choice for me but I was outvoted

We ended up with an Ernie, with a whole heap of suggestions along the way

It took longer to name him than No2 son

Ernie is a cool name for a cat

Please come back, OP, to tell us your favourite suggestions and make sure at least one of mine is on the list.

Patches.

Definitely Keith

Meowy McMeowface?

Surely it would be
Catty McCatFace
or
Kitty McKitFace

I don't know why I immediately thought of Milo I have never heard of a cat called Milo. But it's EPIC. (Disclaimer: My cats are called Erwin and Eugenie after Erwin Schrodinger and Eugene Wigner so I am a bit odd)

He's not a Boris. Boris is a giant house panther who lives in Seattle with his floofy marshmallow of a brother, Rio, and my friend Andrea.

I had a black and white cat called Boris once. But I think he looks like a Digby.

Saying as your user name is Marilyn Monroe related, what about Arthur - as in Miller, one of her husbands? Or possibly Joe DiMaggio, JFK or Kennedy .

Oh I see someone else thought Arthur as well.

EmWithMe our ndn's cat is called Milo, except for about three years when I thought it was called Marlon. Both cool names for a cat I reckon.
