I am not a cat person. At all. Then I went with a friend to look at rescue kittens and was absolutely taken in by one of the adult cats who had been abandoned in a garden when his owners moved house.

He's so friendly and loving and brilliant with the kids we've been visiting him at the rescue I'm converted! Can't wait to bring him home.

We've passed our home check and he was neutered yesterday so hopefully he'll be with us by the end of the week.

But I can't think of a name!!

I want something different as opposed to Socks, Felix, Smudge etc. But not something too silly because it'll be called out at the vets Blush nothing seems to suit him.

I like Hugo, Freddie, Sidney, Oliver, Mouse.

Help!

Aww thank you Tarquin. Yeah that's what I thought. The kittens are obviously very popular but not always the adults.

Patrick Grin I'd end up calling him Patty Catty kins or something...

I'm stuck again! The shortlist is now:

Hugo
Frodo
Ringo
Oliver

And I'm picking him up at 12!

Hench bloke is my new husband

He’s beautiful. I kind of liked Freddie.

Melstarrynight · 06/09/2018 06:31

Out of your list I really like Frodo . And he's lovely 😊😍

BirthdayKake · 06/09/2018 07:07

Oh yeah I forgot about Freddie! For god's sake FurryDice! Grin

See what springs to mind when you go and pick him up - something is bound to roll off the tongue when you hold him again and say "hi Hugo/Ringo/Frodo etc you're coming home today" Grin

Frodo has:-

The 'O' from Oliver and Hugo..

The 'R' from Ringo.....

And the 'F' from Freddie!

If no one offers 'Dave' as a name to account for the 'D' I will.... although maybe thats a Dreamy 'D'.

Frodo is a super cute name. And suits him.

Icklepup · 06/09/2018 08:29

Frodo!

BirthdayKake · 06/09/2018 09:13

Omg simple, great observation!

I hope the name does just come to me...

Love it! Happy days Smile

Toddlerteaplease · 06/09/2018 20:17

Did you pick him up and it come to you? It suits him. He's still looking smug. And how big are those ears. Good luck with the sun cream!

TarquinGyrfalcon · 07/09/2018 18:09

He looks so happy - here’s wishing you many happy years together.

He is a stunning looking cat, beautiful markings.

BirthdayKake · 07/09/2018 22:23

Aww thank you!

We went out for dinner tonight and he seemed pretty pleased when we got back!

He looks as if he has his paws firmly under the table.

Great name by the way!
