We are getting a cat! Name ideas and advice please

[SmokeBlackCat]

We are getting a cat. Collecting her Saturday. I know you’ll want a photo.

We haven’t owned cats before. The breeder is giving advice but I am sure I will be here asking for help and advice too.

First things first we need a name. My children will definitely want input but ideas welcome. I’m thinking maybe a Russian or Ukrainian name, 2 syllables beginning with an M or a D or a G.

Also best ways to help her settle in and hopefully grow into a friendly cat.

I am excited and nervous!

Thank you.

Katerina.

She is stunning 😻

Stuck for a name right now but just have to say what a gorgeous gorgeous cat.

Katya!

Always have your phone ready to take a picture and be prepared to having uour sofa turned into a giant cat scratching post, apart from that, enjoy your beautiful mog.

Although she looks like a Tatiana (Taniushka) to me.

Lucifer - Luci.

Nyx?

Mrs Floofington.

This has the added advantage of being both descriptive AND embarrassing you when you book her into the vets and have to say her name.

Ignoring all of your 'wants' but she looks like Elizabeth I with her ruff collar so I'd call her something royal... Liz/Beth/Her Maj!

Koshka!* She’s gorgeous OP.

*Mistress Koshka if it must begin with an M.

She's beautiful!

Kong kickers and puzzle feeders are great.

Thank you all!

I hope she’s happy with us. Feels exciting and scary like when we brought our (human) babies home.

Beautiful kitten, but you say you’ve never OWNED a cat. Stop right there! Everyone knows that cats are the boss and they own you! You are just staff being trained to slavishly attend to their needs, often with a firm paw!😂. Seriously, though, congratulations on your new kitten and hope you will have years of joy together.

Is that the fit of her enemies? She's gorgeous! Hope you've got a tangle teaser and metal comb!

Katarina the Great!

And she is beautiful.

Whoa that is one spectacular cat!

Margarita Pracatan. Sorry it just came to me. Google if you don't know who she was.

Anastasia

Clawdia 😉

I am 47 years old and I very much do know who she was 😂

Had to Google but I like this!

Margarita - she looks like the cat in The Master and Margarita (a bit) and that's Russian, so...

You need to imagine having to shout the name loudly. I was on a call with a colleague earlier who suddenly stopped talking and shouted “Marmaduke do not stick your paw in my mug of tea”! Cue a haughty looking feline styling it out in the background 😂

This is now the test for whether a name is suitable or not.

She looks like an Agatha to me. Enjoy being a cat servant, and fluffy cuddles.

She will soon train you up. 🙂
