My baby girl is Stella - I love it! ❤️

Chairman Miaow is still the best name of all the cats I've met.

A grey cat named Shadowfax is is probably close second.

I seem to know a number of cats named Spot, after Data from Star Trek's cat... Hmm

I knew a Bilquis (the Queen of Sheba), named at a time when every other cat or dog seemed to be called Sheba.

My cousin adopted a mother and son called Cat and She (the cat's mother).

I have Minski Moobles. When she crosses the Bridge, I want a pair of toms, 1 black, 1 grey* who I plan to call Reginald Jeeves and Bertram Wilberforce Wooster.

Minski is hanging on by her tipclaws though.

*I'll probably end up with a ginge and a black and white.

Friend had Steve (a female also known as Miss Stevie) and now has Neal.
Another friend has Nile Rogers.

I had a black cat many years ago called Enoch (showing my age).

I always thought if I ever get a black cat I would name her Sita.😍 And she would be beautiful!

I also used to know a big white moggy with one eye who was named Bear. He was gorgeous! Bear😍
