Stray Cat - Needs a Name!

falalalalaaaaaaaa · 05/04/2025 17:51

Okay so long story short, we’ve ended up with a stray cat who is an absolute sweetheart. Still trying to locate his owners (no chip, etc) and figure out if he can peacefully coexist with our other boy but in the meantime, “the cat” doesn’t feel very friendly, and so he needs a (possibly temporary, possibly permanent!) name!

Does anyone have any suggestions? He’s so friendly and so skinny, poor guy. But safe now Smile

Oh he’s lovely. I think you should call him Brian after Brian Setzer from the Stray Cats (American rockabilly band).

Sid.
Oliver.
Jake.

Six dinner Sid? But he's thin. He looks like a Thomas to me.

Mittens for his white front paws.

Chip.

For a) the lack of one and b) the one on his shoulder where the resident cat is concerned

Looks like a Colin to me.

Bless him. Thank you for taking care of him. He could be a Sammy.

Rory immediately came to mind - don't know why. He's lovely.

TroysMammy · 05/04/2025 22:29

O'Malley. Thomas O'Malley from The Aristocats was a stray.

PleaseDontFingerMyPouffe · 05/04/2025 22:34

Oh he's beautiful!

Some suggestions...
Percy
Prince (cos he's so handsome)
Orlando
Eddy / Edward
Duncan
Jester
John
Alfred

Simon does make me laugh though

Jupiter, his markings are lovely and remind me of jupiters surface

Notgoodatpoetrybutgreatatlit · 06/04/2025 07:42

I would call him Mine. As in Who is this cat? He is mine!
My old boy looks similar he just arrived in my garden about 15 years ago and after a chat with my other 2 cats he moved in permanently. My vet said if a cat isn't microchipped that makes him legitimately yours. He is super handsome.

Beautifulsunflowers · 06/04/2025 07:55

He’s beautiful
what’s your other cat called?
my first thought was
Tiger or Tigger because of the stripes.

TroysMammy · 06/04/2025 22:34

Hong Kong Phooey had a striped cat called Spot who was quite nonchalant.

caringcarer · 07/04/2025 09:32

Lucky, because he's now found himself a home.
