Hi,

We brought our 1 year old rescue home a couple of days ago. He is absolutely adorable, floofy, super affectionate, gentle but also very playful. He is really soft and slinky.

He's black, with brown on the underside/chest. We don't want an obvious name like Sooty, but something unique and unusual. Weirdly, we joked about calling him Chimney instead, and on the first day he climbed behind the fireplace to explore😂Chimney doesnt realy sound right though🤔

Others on the table so far are:
Zephyr
Knuffel (pronounced Ker-nuffle, Danish for hug)
Snickers
Bourbon
Marshall

Here are a few pics!😍

Chairman Miaow

For some reason this name seems to get mentioned a lot on Mumsnet. For those who don’t know, Chairman Mao was responsible for the death and suffering of tens of millions of people. Calling you cat this is the equivalent of calling it “Kitler”.

Chill out. 🙄

Our best boy was a beautiful black cat called Spider - we loved him so much and he loved us. He looked like a spider when he ran up the curtains as a kitten and it was a perfect name for him. He is much missed - RIP 😢
