Please help me with a name for these two. The black one just wanted neck snuggles so my DD in all of her wisdom has nicknamed her Velcro but this is me putting my foot down. Its not happening.

If they are indoor cats, Boo and Radley, with apologies to Harper Lee.😀

Velcro is sometimes called 'hook and loop', so you could call one of them Hook and the other Loop.
Alternatively, Burdock and Milka: burdock seeds were the inspiration for velcro, when they stuck to the inventor's dog Milka. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velcro)

Velcro is a fine name for a cat, I knew one called that. You stop thinking about what the word means and it just becomes a name.

OKFinally · 17/04/2023 14:12

Thanks for that, I now running combinations around in my head, I am not even a cat person.😂

Firsttimecaller · 17/04/2023 14:15

Hook & Loop: that's two names and the generic name for Velcro (tm)
