We’re Adopting a sweet male kitten next week! My eldest think we should call him Figaro, and I don’t mind Figgy for short but I’m not sure if it will suit him!

bombard me with name ideas for a lovely grey striped cat!

So sorry I’m late with the cat tax!
Heres a picture of our little rescue boy 🥰

Looks like a Trevor to me OP, or maybe a Steve?

I think Figaro is quite distinctive. It's the name of the cat in Pinocchio. You can always address him with variants as appropriate - Mr Figgy, Figgy Pudding, Figiwinkle, Sir Fig Fig and so on.

Some of the cats from Cats the musical have good names. Unfortunately the silvery one in that is called Munkustrap. Maybe not.

I think he needs a dignified name as he's going to be a very handsome chap as he ages. Gerald, Alfonso, Augustus, Ferdinand?

He is a beautiful little one!

You aren't getting the solid grey as well? 😭

Figaro suits him.

If not, Balonz.

Mithril- name for elvish silver. He has elvish ears!

Was going to suggest Gandalf , but Mithril is perfect !

Kudos for trying 👍.

Your cat looks like a Fritz to me.

Buxton - the blue cat

Kipper
Mac (short for mackerel)
Another vote for Mithril
And Figaro is pretty good with lots of potential for variations: cats need at least 3 names!

Figgy is home! Some fab suggestions here but DD vetoed them all and we have stuck with Figaro (figgy) 🫢

thank you all!

Oh my, no problems with settling in at all! 😻
Lovely little boy, liking his stripeyness very much!

Pudmyboy · 02/07/2024 21:19

(you do realise that when you call him in from the garden you are going to have to do it full-on operatic style!)

JusWunderin · 02/07/2024 23:29

@Pudmyboy i shall try my hardest to put on the theatrics! 😂

He seems super comfortable already and tonight he’s decided he is very much a lap cat 🥰
