We are going to see a kitten on Tuesday. He's a rescue, silver tabby markings, white paws and tummy.
What would you name him?

I can't pay kitten tax with a photo as he's not ours yet but here is his prospective big sister Mia.

Fritz is quite fun. I don't really like fish so less keen on mackerel. We love holidays in Scotland so I was trying to think of something that fitted with that.

Suggested it because we had a grey tabby called Fritz. Fritz-y when calling him. Loved him to bits 😁.

I wondered about Angus

Do you think Selkie is too like a female name?

My grey tabby girl has a perfectly good name but is often called Wombat instead. How about Wombat?
Or for something Scottish, pick the name of a place you like: Auchterader, Fife, Skye or Orkney would all make fine names for males cats just as examples.

Selkies were female so 8t does seem female. But am sure your cat won'tnoticemind.

Kelpie? But they were a bit murdering.
Wulver? A wolf type thing that brought poor people... fish.

@Timespentwithcatsisneverwasted
I loved Jamesie and Mary ‘Hen’ 🤣

Jamesie as a name wins IMO
