New kittens currently known as One and Two

On Thursday we picked up these two gorgeous tabby kittens from our local rescue. It's been over 18 years since we've had kittens and we're absolutely besotted. Our old cat spends most of his time asleep on my bed so we've blocked off the stairs so that they have their own spaces.

The darker one (both female) has so far been the more adventurous one and is always the first to do something - the first to use the litter tray, the first to venture out and explore, the first to purr and this afternoon she curled up on my lap and fell asleep. The other one is daintier, very sweet but just a bit more timid.

So far they have been known as One and Two while try and agree on names. Our list includes Dash and Dot (as in Morse code, one has a stripey tummy, the other spotty), Maud and Mildred, Florin and Tuppence, Fish and Chips or DH's suggestion of sticking with One and Two.

I would love your help in finding the perfect names and I've added photos for the cuteness factor!

Congratulations. They are beautiful and are going to have some fun.

Dot & Dash gets my vote.

EmmaH2022 · 02/07/2022 19:39

Dash and Dot from me as well.

sleepymum50 · 02/07/2022 19:40

One and two

Porthia · 02/07/2022 19:40

They look so cute snuggled up together. Another vote for Dash and Dot! Perfect names!

Newfluff · 02/07/2022 19:43

I love One and Two, or Port and Meirion, Patrick and Magoohan, or Muscet and Markstein showing my age

PriamFarrl · 02/07/2022 19:44

The names are perfect. I don’t usually like ‘matching’ names on a pair of pets but they both work on their own.

ColmanFlamingo · 02/07/2022 19:44

My two girl cats were called Tigerlily and Jasmine 😍

Poppy and Pippin
Daisy and Rosie
Pickle and Minx

Bagzzz · 02/07/2022 19:44

lovely - I thought you were going Cat In The Hat (Thing one and Thing two). Like all your ideas as well though helpful

WhackingPhoenix · 02/07/2022 19:48

I’m firmly in camp Maud and Mildred Grin

CrispieCake · 02/07/2022 19:57

Uno and Dos. I like your DH's suggestion but think it sounds better in Spanish.

dogrilla · 02/07/2022 20:05

Dot and Dash. Definitely.

Toddlerteaplease · 02/07/2022 20:07

Dash and dot is a great choice

Toddlerteaplease · 02/07/2022 20:09

Or pickle & chutney
Sausage & chips
Rhubarb & custard

lljkk · 02/07/2022 20:12

Tracy & Sharon

Freeasabird76 · 02/07/2022 20:14

@Soubriquet said it very eloquently.

CatWithARabbit · 02/07/2022 20:18

Zig and zag

EmmaH2022 · 02/07/2022 20:31

Btw we need more pics please 😍

PipeScatter · 02/07/2022 20:42

On reading your OP I instantly loved Dash and Dot. It seems, on reading the comments, I'm not alone!

Whatever they're named, they're gorgeous!

larkstar · 02/07/2022 20:42

Change one and two into Wanda and Tallulah perhaps?

CatsOneAndTwo · 02/07/2022 20:57

Thank you everyone 😊Some lovely names have been suggested. Though it seems like Dash and Dot are a clear favourite. Mine too! Will see tomorrow what DH and DS think.

I will happily add more photos as we get to know them more. This is Dash (One) asleep on my lap earlier today. I'm now upstairs with our old boy letting him know that he's not been pushed out. He suddenly seems huge!
