I want a witchy name for a boy please.

I already have a full black female called Luna.

Not keen on Blacky, Salem, Binx, Raven, Shadow, Lucifer, Noir, Jet, Dusk, Liquorice, Shade, Damien, Omen.

Thanks x

We had a cat called Graymalkin.. from the witches cat in Macbeth.. Also I do think the Irish word for black is lovely .. Dubh...but pronounced Duv not Dhoo as in a former post. Think that may be a Donegal pronunciationSmile

Seriously? Bloody hell. 😳

Be careful calling cat 'Orion'. Our black cat is 'Orion' after the star constellation (with his sister, Bellatrix, and dearly departed Rigel, stars in the constellation) but orion is 'the hunter' and unfortunately lives up to his name. Thinking about getting one of those cat flaps which do a 'prey detection' thing...has anyone found they stop mice being brought in?

We have a black cat called Sirius too. His sister has a star name so it 'matches' like it would with Luna 😻 Tiny warning - we always call him Siri and we had to turn it off on our phones for that reason...

Cats officially have three names:

The name you give them
Their nickname
The name they answer to (that they won't tell you !

Luna will call him "Balonz" under her breath .

Hey Balonz , turn it in ye wee bawbag in a Glaswegian accent Halloween Wink
