So I need a name for my new persian kitten, whose arriving in 2 weeks. Hes a big chunky ginger and white fluffball. Im so excited, and want a quirky cute name. Any suggestions?

Well i dont agree with that at all. The cat isnt deformed it is breed standard for a persian. My previous cat was a pure-bred persian, and she lived to a ripe old age with no health issues at all. The breed are renowned for having wonderful temperaments and make excellent therapy pets for that very reason. The breeder very much knows what she is doing. A domestic cat wouldn't work for us.

Anyway, I didnt come on here to argue about that, just to have help with a name.

I'm sure you don't want a discussion but that is not an original Persian cat and what you had before was certainly not a pure bred Persian cat. The Persian of today bears no resemblance to what the original breed looks like.

I think he looks like a Samson, on account of his beautiful hair !

So cute, we had one just like him.

lljkk · 05/09/2022 16:06

tbh, he looks deformed to me too.
Sandwich ... coz his poor face is sandwiched in a too small space.

Tumble? He looks like he has just been in a tumble dryer Smile

I don't think this would combine well with @UserError012345 though Grin

With that hair it's a Teddy from me Grin

We need @toddlerteaplease on this thread! Your kitten is like toddler's 'Cheddar' (a mini-cheddar maybe).

huntermooreisacnut · 05/09/2022 16:46

What about Leicester (for Red Leicester cheese), and his 'full' name is the Earl of Leicester?

Purplepeoniesdroppingpetals · 05/09/2022 19:15

My son says Simon but he’s 19 and knows nothing; I say Hugo or Monty - he looks v posh.
