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

I'm curious as to what the deleted messages say?

Assuming they contain swear words and not abuse as we are only discussing cats? 🤔😂

Never heard of 'dubh' being pronounced as 'dhoo'. Pronunciation more like 'dove' would be much more common, I think.

Should have been in reply to @ElleCapitaine

Most recent pic of my cat at the vet. She had lost a bit of fur and weight on that pic.

I'm confused... from this photo it looks like your cat is the vet or is at least training to be one?

also if you want a witchy name, it would help to see some more relevant photos eg. him in a red satin lined black cape or a pointy black hat? sirius is good, but isn't that more of a doggie name?

Ours is called Nimbus

AcrossthePond55 · 06/11/2023 23:25

We named our black cat Salem Saberhagen, after the enchanted black cat on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.

I'd post a picture of him, but he's a feral barn cat so we really don't have any good pictures of him. We feed him and he'll let us stroke his back and scratch his chin, but don't EVEN try to tickle his tummy!! He's still a good boy though and a dynamite hunter.

Binx!

Papageno.

Papageno was a bird man ! ( I think the name is linguisticly related to parrot)

I would call your kitten Mephisto, OP.

IVFfirsttimer91 · 06/11/2023 23:32

I know you said you aren’t keen on Lucifer. But I’ve ALWAYS wanted a black cat called Lucipurr 😂😂. You could call him Wolfsbane, he who must not be named, the dark lord, sauron, saruman, Gomez, cousin It, Binks

1vandal2 · 06/11/2023 23:41

My black boy is called Nox 😁
I named him for the latin for night, it's just a happy coincidence that it's a spell from HP too, and the name of the god of night.

He also answers to piddle, my piece of the night, furry shadow, diddle dum.

I also had a Sooty and Blackie black cats as a child. My naming standards got better with age. 😂

1vandal2 · 06/11/2023 23:43

My Nox also has a May the Fourth be with you birthday.
He easily could have been a Vader or Skywalker 😂

I don't know why the ears are pointy lol.
Mum and dads didn't seem to be.

A sign of wildness. As wild animals domesticate over generations , their ears loose their poitedness.
That cat is trouble 🥰
