Help name our cat!

[SmallGreenBabies]

Hi everyone, we recently lost our beloved cat 😢 The house feels so empty and we'll be looking to rehome another fur baby soon.

Please can you help us think of some potential new names? These are the criteria...

• Our theme is daft/cute children's TV/film characters, ideally 80s/90s, not necessarily cats, e.g. Pongo, Moomin, Elmo.
• No human names.
• No 'ess' sounds (sounds like hissing 😆).

Would love to hear some suggestions 😊 Name choice and cat tax to follow later!

Pootle from the flumps.

Mr or Mrs Pogle.
Pippin, Tog?

Or Bagpuss of course?

I think you have to get the cat first to see what names suit. If from rescue (good idea) then they often have a name already. We changed a rescue cat name from 'Razzle' to 'Basil' but sounded similar so cat still responded to his new name (when he wanted to!).

OK

Snarf (Thundercats)
Milady (Dogtanian)
Mokey (Fraggle Rock)
Buttercup (Princess Bride)
Cubbi (Gummie Bears)
Gem (Gem!)
Murdock (A Team)

Clanger
Liono, Tygra, Snarf
Penfold
Pingu
Duckula
Heathcliff
Smurf

Pingu for a black and white kitten

We just named our new rescue kitten Poe, but also on the list was...

Gizmo
Gimly
Gremlin
Donut
Gromit

Here he is.

Wizadora
Biff
Chip
Jem

Amazing suggestions so far thanks everyone! Poe is an absolute hottie! 😍

Ok this isn't a 80s cartoon character but I do like Mr. Bojangles for a cat from the Nina Simone song of the same name.

If a tabby cat then you must call it Spot after the stripey cat in Hong Kong Phooey.

Scooby Dooby Doo....just to confuse folks when you call him in from the garden!
