I'm excited!

It's been 3 years since my lovely girlie cat Daisy passed away, and feel it's time we got a new furry family member. The kids really want a cat to love too.

Hoping she likes us and we are a good match.

I'm so pleased. Love that pic.
Enjoy your new position as slave!! Grin

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 05/09/2017 16:10

Yay! Happy new cat day! 😁

For us, the RSPCA checking out our house just meant them looking at the positioning of the house on Google Earth. Making sure it wasn't near any major roads etc.

Vinorosso74 · 05/09/2017 16:20

Woohoo exciting! She looks a lovely girl, like how she's resting her chin

MycatsaPirate · 05/09/2017 16:24

Awww thank you for giving her a home!

Black cats and black and white cats get overlooked so much. She is gorgeous!

We got out b/w girl from a rescue last year, she had been waiting for a home for 5 months because a) she was so timid and b) there were so many kittens in. She was 5 years old, half a tail and spent most of her time hiding.

But she's a cheeky little character now and really sweet.

DavetheCat2001 · 05/09/2017 17:55

Aww can't believe black and white cats get overlooked..she is such a doll!

Now we are looking for a new name..can't stand 'Adel'!

Was thinking of:

Bobble
Lily
Rosie
Luna

Anyone got any suggestions/thoughts on the above?

Awww, she's gorgeous Smile I love black and white cats.
How about naming her Cleopatra Wink Grin

cakesandphotos · 05/09/2017 17:59

When I was 6 we got a lovely black and white cat and I named her Princess Rose Grin It didn't last, my mum used to call her My Cat as she couldn't bring herself to use her proper name. Before long, she was known as Mie ( pronounced my) which she was until she died after someone shot her. Black and white cats are the best!

DavetheCat2001 · 05/09/2017 18:20

Cleopatra is a great name, a bit long though maybe Wink

I like Lily, but there is actually another black and white cat next door called Lily so it could get confusing Grin

I think she looks very much a Luna!! She's gorgeous. Well done OP x

beanhunter · 05/09/2017 18:27

Our cats are pickle, lily and tiggles.

mywayalltheway · 05/09/2017 18:28

If you like Cleopatra but think it's a bit long how about Cleo.

Auntiedahlia · 05/09/2017 18:33

I love her. She looks like she's going to have a brilliant personality.

CleopatraCatLover · 05/09/2017 18:34

Or another Egyptian Queen Nefretiti

Gatekeeper · 05/09/2017 18:42

Pie is a good name for a b&W cat

DavetheCat2001 · 05/09/2017 18:42

ooh what about Queenie?

OP posts:
DavetheCat2001 · 05/09/2017 18:45

I like Pie!

Oh I like Queenie Smile

DavetheCat2001 · 05/09/2017 21:10

RSPCA lady is coming tomorrow at midday with the adoption forms, then technically we can collect her anytime we want!

You'll have to come over and join us on the black and white cats thread!

Never call a cat something you can't yell out the back door for all the neighbours to hear!

Toddlerteaplease · 05/09/2017 21:53

Pie is a good name. What about pudding?

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 05/09/2017 22:52

There's a black & white cats thread? Shock

We hadn't heard!

DavetheCat2001 · 06/09/2017 17:57

Signed the adoption papers earlier, we are picking As Yet Unamed up on Saturday Grin

Going out tomorrow with DD to buy cat litter/tray and a scratching post. Food we will get at the weekend.

Aww Brian is gorgeous..love his smudgy face! x

I worked for a company that had a 'Maggie' as the HR director..she was a dragon..I couldn't inflict that on my poor puss!

I'm thinking Rosie..what do you think?

Wolfiefan · 06/09/2017 18:04

I like Rosie.
I had to rename our kittens. They were Gin and Tonic when we collected them. Not going out at night shouting for Gin!!!
